The Museum of Modern Art (“MoMA,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) offers MoMA supporters (“you” or “Referrer”) the opportunity to participate in the Museum Membership Referral Program (the “Membership Referral Program” or “Program”). These terms (“Terms”) apply to your participation in the Membership Referral Program. By participating in the Program, you agree to accept these Terms as outlined herein, and you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and consent to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which are incorporated into and made a part of this agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, then do not participate in Program. MoMA reserves the right to modify, amend or terminate the Program at any time and in any matter, in whole or in part, for any reason in its sole discretion and without notice of any type to you. The Program is void where prohibited by any applicable law or regulations.

THESE PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE ALLOWED.

Eligibility

Members who refer others to MoMA for membership are “Referrers;” those who are referred are “Referred Friends.” Both Referrers and Referred Friends may be referred to as a “Participant” or collectively as “Participants.”

To be eligible to participate as a Referrer in the Referral Program you must be: (1) a legal resident of the fifty United States or the District of Columbia; (2) at least 18 years of age and or have reached the age of majority in your state/jurisdiction of legal residence; and (3) a current MoMA member with an individual (not organizational) account in good standing (“Membership Account” or “Account”), as the term is defined at membership.moma.org.

Referrer may only refer individual friends or family members who (1) are legal residents of the fifty United States or the District of Columbia; (2) are at least 18 years of age and have reached the age of majority in their state/jurisdiction of legal residence; and (3) are not currently members of MoMA, nor have they signed up for a MoMA membership previously in the past five (4) calendar years. Employees of MoMA and P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, Inc. d/b/a MoMA PS1 (“MoMA PS1”), and the employees of any affiliates, and their officers, directors, and agents and their immediate family or household members are not eligible to participate in the Program either as Referrers or Referred Friends. MoMA reserves the right to verify the eligibility of all Participants.

“Qualified Referral Email Address” is a Referral email address that meets each of the following conditions: (1) the email address is not associated with an individual who is a current MoMA member; (2) the email address is not associated with an individual who signed up for a MoMA membership in the past five (3) calendar years; and (4) the email address is not associated with your (the Referrer’s) membership account at moma.org.

How the Program Works

To participate in the Program as a Referrer, you must refer a friend or family member (the “Referred Friend”).

  1. To refer a friend, you (as the Referrer) should first log in to your membership account at www.membership.moma.org.

  2. Once you have logged into your account, select ‘Refer a friend’ on the left hand menu, enter your name and membership email address, then share your unique referral link with your friends via your personal email, Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, Whatsapp, direct link, or SMS.

  3. If your friend’s email address meets the criteria, they will be able to use the promo code to sign up for an Access level or higher membership and receive a one-time discount of $20 towards their membership transaction.

  4. In order to access their discount towards their membership transaction (and for you to receive your Thank You Gift), your Referred Friend must sign up and purchase a membership at the Access Level or higher for no less than one year using your special link and promo code provided by MoMA.

  5. If your Referred Friend signs up and purchases an eligible membership using the promo code and special link, to acknowledge you for sharing the joy of MoMA membership, we will provide you with a thank you gift (“Thank You Gift”). for information on current amounts and modes of delivery applicable to the Program. Terms and conditions of Thank You Gift are subject to change in MoMA’s sole discretion.

Additional restrictions

You must use membership.moma.org to send invitations to Referred Friends; any use of personal email will be void. All referrals and Thank You Gifts are subject to verification, and MoMA reserves the right to delay or refuse to issue a Thank You Gift for purposes of verification or in cases of noncompliance with the Terms, fraud, deceptive or misleading behavior by Participant(s), or for any reasons MoMA may deem to be relevant and/or justified based on the circumstances in its sole discretion. Thank You Gifts have no cash value, cannot be sold, transferred, or redeemed for cash, and they may not be combined with other offers, promotions or discounts. No portion of the Program is intended to be a tax-deductible event for Participants.

In the event that a Referred Friend receives multiple referrals, MoMA will only provide a Thank You Gift to the Referrer associated with the special link that was used by the Referred Friend. This means that if multiple Referrers refer the same person, only one of those Referrers will be entitled to receive a Thank You Gift and all other referrals will automatically be invalidated.

Reservation of Rights/Disqualification

Exploiting the Program or assisting others in exploiting the Program is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification from the Program. Referrers cannot refer themselves or create multiple, fictitious or fake accounts with membership.moma.org. In addition, Participants may not (i) use the Program to violate any law, infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including the Federal CAN-SPAM Act, Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, or equivalent state laws; (ii) act in a manner that is deemed unfair, disruptive, harassing, harmful, illegal, hateful, obscene or outside the spirit and intent of the Program; (iii) tamper with the Program; (iv) collect or harvest any personally identifiable information from the Program or associated website(s); and/or (v) use any system, bot or other device or artifice to participate or receive any benefit in the Program. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS. SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, MOMA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY THE PARTICIPANT FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, REVOKE ANY THANK YOU GIFT AND/OR DISCOUNT, AND/OR SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES (INCLUDING ATTORNEY FEES) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, INCLUDING CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

MoMA may prohibit a Participant from participating, revoke any thank you gift or discount, or take such other action as MoMA deems necessary in its discretion in the Program if, in MoMA’s sole discretion, MoMA determines that such Participant is attempting to undermine the fairness, integrity or legitimate operation of the Program in any way by cheating, hacking, deception, or any other unfair practices of intending to annoy, abuse, threaten any other Participants or representatives of MoMA.

MoMA reserves the right to disqualify any Participant, revoke any thank you gift or discount, or take such other action as MoMA deems necessary in its discretion if MoMA finds a Participant to be tampering with the operation of the Program or violating these Terms and Conditions in any way.

Modification or Termination of the Program

The Program is offered at the discretion of MoMA and has no predetermined end date. MoMA reserves the right to terminate, suspend, or modify the Program, these Terms, conditions of participation, or any other aspect of the Program, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, even though such changes may affect Thank You Gifts that have already been earned. You understand that the most recent version of the Terms will be available at www.moma.org/support/membership-referral-terms-and-conditions. Your continued participation in the Program following the posting on www.moma.org/support/membership-referral-terms-and-conditions of any modification will indicate your acceptance of any modification to the Terms hereof. You may object to the modification to the Program and/or its Terms by no longer participating.

Privacy
