How avoiding a charge works

The option appears after a commitment's goal deadline has passed and no proof has been submitted. It remains available if that commitment is later marked as failed while its conditional charge is pending. The option is offered once per commitment, including individual routine cycles, and belongs to that commitment alone. It is not a credit you can save for later.

With no proof submitted, the option stays available while the verdict is pending, even after the proof deadline. A routine's overview shows its most recent eligible cycle; each eligible cycle also has its own referral panel.

• Before a verdict, activation creates a conditional referral for that commitment. No charge is due at that stage. After a failed verdict, an active referral postpones the charge until its displayed deadline.
• You receive a referral link. You share it yourself — Commitery never sends invitations on your behalf.
• Activation is not an appeal and does not change the proof deadline, a later verdict, or the dispute window.

One person who is genuinely new to Commitery has to follow your link, create their own account, and check out their first commitment on Commitery before the deadline. Sharing the link, clicking it, or signing up without checking out does not count.

Only one qualifying referral is needed. Further referrals for the same commitment have no additional effect.

If the commitment is later marked as failed, its entire conditional charge is waived. If it is completed, the referral closes because there is no charge to waive. In either case, no credit or balance is created.

The waiver is final. If the person you referred later withdraws from or cancels their own commitment, your waived charge is not brought back.

The referral closes, the postponement ends, and the original charge becomes due as described in charges and invoices. The referral cannot be reactivated for the same commitment.

• Referring yourself, a second account of your own, or an account you control.
• Duplicate or re-registered accounts.
• Reciprocal referral rings, automated sign-ups, and manipulated checkouts.
• Unsolicited email or messages, spam, and misleading claims about Commitery.

The binding rules for the referral waiver are set out in the Referral Waiver Terms. The underlying charge continues to be governed by the Payment Terms.
