You and the Referred Party will each receive one hundred dollars ($100) in your Baselane Banking account (“Reward”) if all of the following conditions are satisfied within a 45-day period (“Qualification Period”): (1) you collect at least five hundred dollars ($500) of rent through the Service into a Baselane Banking account, (2) the Referred Party is not a previous Baselane user and signs up for a Baselane user account for the first time, and (3) the Referred Party collects at least five hundred dollars ($500) of rent through the Service into a Baselane Banking account.
