Annex 1 — Referral programme rules
Annex 1 — Referral programme rules
Version 2 — published 28 August 2026, effective 28 September 2026. An annex to the Terms of Service and Sale, of which it forms an integral part. Terms defined in the Terms have the same meaning here.
The figures binding on you are those displayed in the App, on the “Referral” screen, on the day you take part. The values quoted in these rules are those in force at the date of publication. The version of the rules you enrolled under is recorded at enrolment, and that is the version applied to you until your current participation ends.
These rules are drafted in French. The French version prevails; this English text is provided for information.
1. Purpose and nature of the benefit
1.1 The referral programme lets a paying user (the “Referrer”) share a personal code. Once a set number of people who used that code (the “Referred Friends”) have themselves taken out an eligible Plan, the Referrer’s most recent payment is refunded.
1.2 Legal nature. The benefit granted is a retroactive commercial discount on a purchase you paid for yourself. It constitutes neither remuneration, nor a commission, nor income. Taking part confers no status as a commercial agent, business introducer, agent, employee or partner of Missyl, and creates no relationship of subordination and no obligation of result on your part.
1.3 The benefit is strictly personal, non-transferable, and may under no circumstances be converted into cash or assigned to a third party.
1.4 Voluntary participation. Taking part is optional and free. It is never a condition of access to the Service or of its proper functioning.
2. Who can refer
2.1 You must hold a paid Plan and have made at least one actual payment. An active free trial alone is not sufficient.
2.2 Each person has a single referral code.
2.3 The programme is open only to natural persons acting for non-professional purposes who are of age in their country of residence.
3. What counts as a valid Referred Friend
A Referred Friend is validated when all the following conditions are met:
3.1 They entered your code in the App before their own first payment. A code entered after a first payment is never counted, and this limit is technical: it cannot be lifted after the fact, including on request.
3.2 They actually paid for an eligible Plan. Starting a free trial is not sufficient: the payment must have been taken.
3.3 The Plan taken out is among the eligible Plans, which are currently the annual subscription and Lifetime Access. Weekly and monthly plans never count, however many there are.
3.4 Each Referred Friend can be attributed to one Referrer only, and only once.
3.5 Loss of validation. If a Referred Friend obtains a refund of their own purchase, or disputes it with their bank, they stop counting. If that loss takes you back below your target before your own refund has been sent, your refund is cancelled. Once your refund has been executed, it is taken back only in the case, and on the conditions, set out in section 7.4.
4. How many Referred Friends are required
4.1 The number required depends on your own Plan, since what is refunded is your own most recent payment. At the date of publication of these rules:
| Your Plan | Validated friends required |
|---|---|
| Weekly or monthly | 2 |
| Annual | 2 |
| Lifetime Access | 4 |
4.2 Your target is displayed in the App and is fixed on the day of your first payment. A later change to the scale does not apply to you.
5. How and when you are refunded
5.1 Amount. The refund covers the full amount of your most recent payment, taxes included, under the plan you enrolled in the programme with. If you have changed plan since enrolling, what is refunded is your most recent payment under the plan of enrolment, not a purchase made under another plan. The amount concerned is displayed to you on the referral screen.
5.2 Method. The refund is executed through Google Play, to your original payment method. We have no other disbursement channel (section 5.3 of the Terms). How quickly it appears on your account then depends on your bank.
5.3 Timing. Once your target is met (sections 3 and 4) and the thirty-day condition in section 5.5 is satisfied, the refund is triggered within thirty (30) days.
5.4 Your subscription continues. The refund does not cancel your subscription and does not revoke your access. Your Plan continues normally, including its renewal if you have not cancelled it.
5.5 How old your own payment must be. Your own first payment must be at least thirty (30) days old at the time of the refund.
5.6 One refund only. The programme gives rise to at most one refund per person. Reaching a new target after a refund has already been executed does not give rise to a second payout.
6. Interaction with the other programmes
6.1 The same payment can never be refunded twice. A payment already refunded under the guarantee in Annex 2, under the offer in Annex 3, under the statutory guarantee or as a goodwill gesture can no longer be refunded under the referral programme, and vice versa.
6.2 If you obtain a refund of your purchase under the guarantee in Annex 2, your participation in the referral programme ends and you also stop counting as a Referred Friend for whoever referred you.
7. Good faith and anti-fraud
7.1 You may not use your own code, nor create, cause to be created, or buy sign-ups or payments for the sole purpose of reaching a target.
7.2 How to share. The code is meant to be shared with people you know personally. You may not distribute it through unsolicited messages (spam), on coupon or cashback sites, by buying advertising, by bidding on the “Shortstop” brand, or by presenting yourself as a representative, employee or partner of Missyl.
7.3 In promoting your code you must make no misleading claim about the Service, its features or its prices.
7.4 Sanctions. In the event of an established breach of sections 7.1 to 7.3, or of any manoeuvre intended to circumvent these rules, we may cancel a validation, refuse or reclaim a refund, and close your participation. Any such decision is notified to you with reasons, and you may challenge it at contact@missyl.fr. We take such decisions only on the basis of objective evidence.
8. Your data
8.1 Your referral code and the link between you and your Referred Friends are attached to your Anonymous identifier, not to your identity.
8.2 We never reveal your identity to your Referred Friends, nor theirs to you. On the referral screen you see only the status of a subscription, never the person behind it.
8.3 This data is kept for as long as needed to run the programme and handle claims, then deleted. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
9. Availability, changes and discontinuation
9.1 The programme is offered with no committed duration. We may change, suspend or end it at any time, in particular for economic or anti-fraud reasons.
9.2 What you have earned, you keep. Any target already reached at the date of the change or discontinuation is honoured. The number of referees required is frozen on the day of your first payment: a change to the scale cannot be applied to you (section 4.2). The eligible Plans, however, are assessed on the day your referee pays: a change to that list therefore also applies to referrals already under way. We undertake to publish any such change on shortstop.app before it takes effect.
9.3 Progress that is under way but not yet complete on the day the programme ends does not give rise to a partial or proportional refund.
9.4 Section 14.6 of the Terms applies if the Service is discontinued.
10. Complaints
Any complaint about the programme should be sent to contact@missyl.fr, stating your referral code and, if possible, the Google Play order reference concerned. The remedies in section 20 of the Terms (consumer mediation) are available.
