Referral Program

Registered Mott & Bow users may be eligible for a referral credit when they share their personalized referral link and the referred customer completes his or her first purchase. To qualify for the credit, the referred customer must click on the referrer’s unique link, create a new Mott & Bow account, and place an order via the Website. Referral credit is granted as “store credit” to the referrer’s account, may be applied to the referrer’s next purchase using the Online Store, and is non-transferable.


We reserve the right to review, investigate, and remove referral credit as well as suspend users or accounts in instances we identify behavior we believe to be abusive, fraudulent, or not aligned with the spirit of the program, such as:


  • Attempts to gain credit through self-referral by opening multiple accounts using different email addresses;
  • Credit gained by referring customers through paid advertising, sponsored links, posting to commercial sites, or spamming; or
  • Violation of this Agreement.

We reserve the right to suspend our referral program at any time. If we remove the links to your referral codes, you may not receive referral credit for new people completing their first purchases with us anymore. You’re encouraged to share your referral link with friends and family and through social media outlets. However, you must not, without permission, include Mott & Bow trademarks or engage in activity that may be regarded as misleading to Mott & Bow customers.
