2. How to Participate

2.1. To participate, entrants must share their unique Zencastr referral link with their network.

2.2. Raffle Participation:  By sharing your referral link once, you will be automatically entered into the raffle. This raffle is open to all participants, whether or not their referrals result in conversions. There is a limit of one raffle entry per participant, regardless of how many times the referral link is shared.

2.2. Leaderboard Participation: Referrals will only count towards the leaderboard if they complete all three qualification stages:

Stage 1: The referred individual signs up for a Zencastr account using the participant’s unique referral link.

Stage 2: The referred individual initiates a trial of a Zencastr paid plan (Standard or higher).

Stage 3: The referred individual converts to a paid plan (completing the first payment after the trial period).

2.3. Each referral that completes all three stages will count as a "conversion" and will add to your total leaderboard score.

2.4. When sharing your referral link, you must comply with all applicable marketing and advertising regulations. Certain platforms or practices, such as promoting on coupon sites or using inappropriate content, are prohibited.

2.5. For a complete list of the rules and guidelines regarding sharing and promoting Zencastr products, please refer to the Affiliate Terms here.
