Terms of Use and Moderation Rules

Last updated: October 2026 — Applicable to all users of the CodesRef platform.

1. Scope and Free Access

CodesRef provides a free comparative directory of official referral program rules and a community code wall audited by a 3-stage AI validation pipeline.

2. Submission Rules and AI Moderation

Users may only submit valid personal referral codes. Third-party URL shorteners (bit.ly, linktr.ee), unofficial cash-back promises, and personal contact details in descriptions are immediately rejected. Limit: 1 active code per brand and 5 active codes total.

3. Fair Hourly Rotation and 30-Day Expiration

Active community codes rotate deterministically every hour. Codes expire automatically after 30 days unless renewed via the 1-click confirmation link sent on Day 25.

4. User Responsibility

Certain brands restrict public sharing of referral links online. Both referrers and referees are responsible for checking official brand terms prior to use.
