Joining gift terms

The joining gift is for firms new to Certaby that haven't yet bought credit or a plan. It is taken with a code (from an email we sent, a link on our site, or a referral link from another firm) by an account made in the last 30 days. One joining gift per firm: a firm is its email domain, or the email address itself on a free email service such as Gmail. A code we send by email can be used once and expires 60 days after we send it.

Every joining gift includes 10 lets or sales checked free, used within 90 days of taking the gift. A let or sale counts once, however many times its checks are run. In each, the gift covers the checks the job page selects for a let or a sale, for up to 6 people or companies: the sanctions check, the company and owners check for a company, the property risk pack, and recording the ID and Right to Rent checks you do yourself.

ID checks by link, where the person checks their ID on their phone, are paid from your credit, on free lets and sales too: £1.99 a person, or £3.49 for a tenant's ID and Right to Rent together.

PEP and adverse media checks are included on a sale and on a let of £10,000 a month or more, where the money laundering rules expect them. On any other let, and for anything the job doesn't select by default, the normal price is charged from your credit.

One free sanctions check of up to 500 names on one screening list (the first list you run after taking the gift). PEP and adverse media on a list are charged at the normal price if you choose them.

A daily sanctions watch of up to 500 names you add to your watchlist, for 3 months from taking the gift. We email you when something changes, and a week before the free watch ends. When it ends the watch pauses and your list is kept, unless you choose a paid Monitoring plan; nothing is charged automatically. If you choose a paid plan before then, it takes over from the free watch from that day.

Your first credit top-up is doubled, up to £500: you get what you paid as credit, and the same amount again as gift credit. This takes the place of the bonus a credit pack normally carries.

Each firm has a referral link on its account page. A firm that joins with your link gets the joining gift. When that firm has paid us £20 or more, you get £20 of gift credit. The reward is credit on your Certaby account, not money: it is never paid in cash and can't be exchanged for cash. Up to 25 rewards a year; colleagues at your own firm don't count.

Gift credit is the doubled top-up and referral rewards. It pays for checks built on official data: sanctions screening, the company and owners check, Companies House and FCA register checks, business risk, EPC, the property risk pack, Right to Rent, export screening and extending a transaction's monitoring. It doesn't pay for PEP and adverse media, the KYB package, the insolvency pre-appointment check, Companies House monitoring (renewed monthly from paid credit), title checks or automated identity verification (now or when we add it), or any check added after these terms were last updated. Those come from the credit you paid for, so you can still add them to a job paid mostly with gift credit.

Gift credit has no cash value, isn't refundable and can't be transferred. Like all Certaby credit it doesn't expire. If a payment that earned gift credit is refunded or disputed, the unspent gift credit from it is removed.

No joining gift, free job or gift credit ever includes automated identity verification, now or when we offer it.

We may change or end the joining gift for new codes at any time; a gift already taken keeps the terms it was taken under. We may withdraw a gift taken against these terms (for example several accounts for one firm). Questions: hello@certaby.com.
