Parent Referral Program

Earn Referral Vouchers by referring users - terms and conditions

Last Updated June 30, 2026

Outschool, Inc. (“Outschool”, “we”, “us” or “our”), has seen that many Outschool users invite their friends to join them in class or in the broader community. To help you promote Outschool to your networks, Outschool offers a Parent Referral Program (the “Program”) that rewards parents for referring their friends and for being referred by an Outschool user. These terms for participation in the Parent Referral Program are made by and between Outschool, Inc. and you (“Participant”, “you” or “your'') regarding your participation in the Program. You may be referred to as a Referring User or Referred User in these Terms, as applicable (see below). If you are interested, Outschool has a separate, Teacher Referral Program.

Outschool’s Terms of Services, Privacy Notice, Community Standards, and Outschool Vouchers and Gift Card Policy are hereby incorporated into these Terms for Participation (collectively, the "Agreement" or “Terms”). By participating in the Program, you agree to accept these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not make or receive referrals or otherwise participate in this Program.

Outschool may update this Agreement at any time; we will endeavor to notify you with the contact information you provide when signing up for the Program if there are material changes. Continued participation in the Program after any modification shall constitute consent to such modification.

1.Eligibility. To be eligible to participate in the Program, you must:

1.1. Be a legal resident of your country;

1.2. Be at least the age of majority in your territory of residence.

1.3. Referring Users must also:

1.3.1. maintain an Outschool account in good standing;

1.3.2. invite a new user to Outschool; and

1.3.3. be attributed in Outschool’s database to a Referred User.

1.4. Referred Users (an individual who signs up with Outschool in response to an

invitation or shared link from a Referring User) must also:

1.4.1. have never created an Outschool account prior to the referral, either for

yourself or attributed to anyone else within your household; and

1.4.2. be attributed in Outschool’s database to a Referring User.

2. Referral Rewards. A Referring User and Referred User, each, are eligible to earn a referral incentive (“Referral Reward”) for each referral made under these Terms provided the referral meets all criteria and limits in these Terms. The Referral Reward for all Participants is a Referral Voucher in the amount associated with the Referring User’s Referral Code (see below). Outschool will communicate the Referral Reward value to the Referring User. Referral Reward amounts are subject to change and are determined at the time of redemption. A Referring User will earn the Referral Reward amount when the Referred User attends their first live class. The Referring User's Referral Reward will be applied to their account as a Referral Voucher which can be applied to live class purchases or membership renewals, and the Referred User's Referral Reward will be applied to their account as a Referral Voucher which can be applied toward their first purchase of an Outschool live class or a new Outschool membership. All granted Referral Vouchers are valid and available for use for ninety (90) calendar days from the date such Referral Voucher is applied to the account. After expiration of this timeframe, the Referral Voucher will no longer be valid and cannot be used.

3. Referral Process and How we Track Referrals. A Referring User can refer a Referred User using the following options:

3.1. share through third-party services, like Facebook, Messenger, Kakao and/or Line by clicking the link provided to you by Outschool,

3.2. enter the email address(es) of who you would like to invite and click the “Send Invitations,"

3.3. share your personal link,

3.4. share your favorites list, or

3.5. share your unique alphanumeric code provided to you by Outschool (“Referral Code”)

(each, an “Invitation” and collectively, the “Invitations”). Subject to the Restrictions under these Terms, you represent that you have the necessary consent from your invitee to send them the Invitation (either directly or through any of the methods Outschool provides on the Outschool Referral Page).

If your invitee follows the links in your Invitation and creates an Outschool account using the information provided, and the invitee meets all of the Referred User requirements, invitee will receive a Referral Reward to use towards their purchase of a live class or new Outschool Membership upon account creation and email verification.

Once the Referred User takes their first live class with Outschool, you (provided you meet all of the eligible Referring User requirements and subject to certain maximum limits and other restrictions in these Terms), will receive an email letting you know that your Referral Reward has been automatically applied to your account as a Referral Voucher, which you can see from your Transactions Page. A Referred User's first purchase is required to be a self-paced or live class or new membership purchase in order for the Referring User to receive a Referral Reward. A Referring User will not receive a Referral Reward if the Referred User purchases a gift card as their first purchase.

In order for both parties to qualify for the Referral Reward, the new user must sign up for their Outschool account via the Referring User’s invite link or add the Referring User's email or referral code on their Settings page before signing up for their first live class or purchasing their membership.​

Outschool is unable to attribute Referral Rewards retroactively if the new user did not create their account via the invite link; existing Outschool accounts will not be able to use the referral invite link.

Whenever you use the 'share' button on an Outschool class, or share via the Referral Page, we include your Referral Code. When someone clicks on a link you've shared, we can use the Referral Code to attribute their signup to you. This information is stored in our database and powers the Program, subject to our Privacy Policy. You can check the status of your Referral Rewards by visiting outschool.com/invite. At the bottom of that page, you’ll see information on the Referral Vouchers that you’ve received and whether they’ve been redeemed

4. How our Referral Codes Work. There are two ways to use a Referral Code:

4.1. Create your Outschool account directly from your referrer’s link, or

4.2. Apply their referral code or email in your profile before enrolling in your first class.

Referral codes must be added before you enroll in your first class.

Be sure to confirm the email address associated with your new Outschool account. Your Referral Voucher will only apply once your Outschool account email is confirmed. If it isn’t, you’ll see a banner prompting you to confirm before receiving your reward.

You may also add a referral code to your account manually by taking the following steps:

4.3. Check your enrollment status. Make sure you have not enrolled in any classes yet. Referral codes cannot be applied once you’ve enrolled.

4.4. Go to your Outschool account Settings.

4.5. Enter the referral code or the referrer’s email address in the Referral Code field and save your changes.

Once added, your Referral Voucher will appear in your Stored Balance and will be applied toward your first live class or Membership purchase.

5. Resolving Disputes over Referrals. Only one (1) person can earn a Referral Reward for a single Referred User. In the event that multiple persons claim Referral Voucher for a particular referral, Outschool has full discretion to determine which person earned such referral according to Outschool’s systems.

Outschool reserves the right to withhold or deduct Referral Rewards obtained through the Program in the event that Outschool determines or believes that the receipt of the Referral Reward was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of these Terms or any other applicable agreement between you and Outschool.

6. Restrictions. In connection with your participation in the Program, you expressly agree to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including the Outschool Social Media Content Creator Policy when distributing, promoting or communicating your Invitation(s).

7. Additional Referral Program Terms and Conditions.

7.1. Referral Rewards are earned only in Referral Vouchers and are subject to the Outschool Vouchers and Gift Card Policy.

7.2. Users cannot earn Referral Rewards for referring themselves.

7.3. Referral Vouchers are not transferable and have no cash value.

7.4. Once the referral invite link is used, Outschool is unable to attribute the referral to another Referring User or referee.

7.5. Enrolling in a Chat Group or Self-paced class does not count as a class enrollment for the purposes of the Program. Your Referred User will need to enroll in a live class for both the Referred User and the Referring User to earn the Referral Reward.

7.6. Outschool instructors can refer new users to the platform using their Referral Code. However, parent-teachers may not enroll their own children using their Referral Vouchers as payment to themselves.

8. Feedback. You acknowledge and agree that Outschool shall be free to use or implement for any purpose any or all suggestions, ideas for improvement, and other feedback you provide regarding the Outschool products or services, including completion of any evaluation forms, polls, or surveys provided to you by Outschool (“Feedback”) and that no payment, royalty or other consideration whatsoever shall be due to you in connection with such Feedback.

9. Confidentiality. During the Term of the Agreement, you will treat any information provided to you by Outschool as confidential (“Confidential Information”). You will not disclose Outschool’s Confidential Information to any third-party without prior written consent by Outschool, or use any Confidential Information except for the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. Information will not be considered Confidential Information, if such information is known by you prior to receipt from Outschool without any expectation of confidentiality, or becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except in the event of a breach of this Agreement. You acknowledge that disclosure of any Confidential Information may give rise to irreparable harm to Outschool, and Outschool may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of Confidential Information under this section, in addition to any other legal remedies that may be available to Outschool.

If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by a court or authority, that provision shall be severed from the Agreement to such jurisdiction (but, to the extent permitted by law, not elsewhere), and shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain valid and enforceable.

12.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Outschool and governs your participation in the Program, superseding any prior agreements between you and Outschool with respect to the Program. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software in connection with your participation with the Program.
