Referral Programme Terms – "Poleć znajomym" (Invite friends)
Version 1.0 · effective from 19 October 2026
This is an English translation of the Polish Referral Programme Terms (https://sekretnehistorie.pl/referral-terms). In the event of any discrepancy, the Polish version prevails.
§ 1. Organiser and general provisions
- The referral programme "Poleć znajomym" (the "Programme") is organised by GOTOIT SP. Z O.O., registered office in Smolec, ul. Słoneczna 9A, 55-080 Smolec, Poland, KRS 0001010915, NIP 8961620558 (the "Organiser") – the Service Provider of the Sekretne Historie service.
- The Programme runs on the website https://sekretnehistorie.pl and in the "Secret Stories: Books & Audio" app. Anything not covered here is governed by the Terms of Service (https://sekretnehistorie.pl/terms/en). Capitalised terms (e.g. Account, Coins, VIP Subscription, Chapter, Novel) have the meaning given in the Terms of Service.
- Taking part is voluntary and free of charge. The Programme is not a game of chance or a promotional lottery – rewards are given for meeting the conditions below.
§ 2. Who can take part
- Referrer – a User whose Account is linked to an e-mail address and who meets one of these conditions:
- has at least one paid purchase of Coins or a VIP Subscription – on the Website, in the App Store or on Google Play – that was not refunded in full (including through a payment dispute decided in the payer's favour); test orders and orders refunded automatically (§ 5(6) of the Terms of Service) do not count;
- has no such purchase, has been using the Service for at least 14 days (counted from the first visit to the Website or first launch of the App, the creation of the Account or the first order), and the purchase offer (the purchase sheet in the App, a locked Chapter, the checkout or paywall on the Website) was shown on at least 3 different calendar days (Polish time).
- Once a User meets one of the conditions in section 1, they remain a Referrer – also when the purchase in section 1(1) was made before the Account was created and we wrote about the programme in an e-mail to that purchase's address (the Account later created with the same e-mail address then becomes the Referrer). Other Users are not shown a link, a code or information for Referrers – they can use invitations as invited persons. A person using the App with an Anonymous Account must sign in first (with an e-mail address, a Google account or with Apple) to get their code.
- Invited person – an adult who uses a Referrer's link or code and creates a new Account as described in § 4.
- Each Referrer has one personal code (6–7 characters) and a link of the form sekretnehistorie.pl/invite/CODE. The code and link may be passed on to people you know. They must not be sent as unsolicited messages (spam), published as an offer of the Organiser, or used to impersonate the Organiser.
§ 3. How to pass on and use an invitation
- The Referrer finds their link and code on the Website under My account ("Poleć znajomym") and in the App in the referral section (when available).
- The invited person can use the invitation by:
- opening the link on the Website – we remember the invitation in that browser for 30 days (a cookie) and record it at the next sign-in on the Website;
- entering the code after signing in – on the Website (My account → "Masz kod od znajomego?") or in the App, where its version allows it;
- installing the App from Google Play through the invitation link – in an App version that allows it, Google Play then passes the code to the App.
- Until the App allows an invitation to be used, a person using the App can use it on the Website (section 2(1) or 2(2)) by signing in there with the same e-mail address as in the App.
- Each person can use an invitation only once – we record the first invitation used, even if it does not qualify.
§ 4. When a referral qualifies
A referral qualifies when all of the following are met:
- the invited person signs in with a new e-mail address – with a code from an e-mail, a Google account or with Apple (an Anonymous Account is not enough);
- the e-mail address is new: the Account was created no earlier than 7 days before the invitation was used, and the address had no earlier Account (including a deleted one), paid purchase or other invitation; the same address written differently (e.g. with dots or a "+…" suffix in Gmail) counts as the same address;
- within 30 days of using the invitation, the invited person reads the first Chapter of any Novel to the end – on the Website or in the App; a Chapter read on the same device within 30 days before the invitation was used also counts (reading is shown by reaching the end of the Chapter, as recorded by the Website or the App, or by reading progress on the Account in the App that reached the end of the first Chapter or beyond);
- the referral does not break the rules in § 6.
The conditions are checked automatically, usually within a quarter of an hour.
§ 5. Rewards
- Once the referral qualifies, the invited person gets 100 Coins – whoever invited them.
- A Referrer without a VIP Subscription bought on the Website (also one with a VIP Subscription bought in the App Store or Google Play) gets:
- 100 Coins when the referral qualifies;
- 200 Coins when the invited person makes their first purchase (Coins or a VIP Subscription, on the Website or in the App) – granted 48 hours after the purchase if it has not been refunded or cancelled by then; a purchase made after the invitation was used (also before signing in) counts, at the latest within 180 days of the referral qualifying.
- A Referrer with a renewing VIP Subscription bought on the Website (by card or BLIK) gets VIP days instead of the Coins in section 2: 3 days when the referral qualifies and 7 days after the invited person's first purchase (on the terms of section 2(2)). VIP days are given only by moving the date of the next VIP Subscription payment by that number of days:
- the Subscription continues unchanged – the same plan, price and payment method; we do not cancel or change it;
- at most 28 VIP days are given per calendar month; above that limit the Referrer gets the Coins in section 2 instead of days;
- if the date cannot be moved within 10 days of the referral qualifying or the purchase (e.g. the Subscription has been cancelled, a payment failed or a renewal is under way), the Referrer gets the Coins in section 2 instead of days;
- the Subscription can be cancelled as before (§ 7 of the Terms of Service) – the moved date only means the next payment is taken later.
- For every 5th rewarded referral (5th, 10th, 15th and so on) the Referrer gets an extra 300 Coins – also with a VIP Subscription.
- Rewards are added to the Account automatically, usually within a quarter of an hour of the conditions being met. Coins appear in the Account balance and VIP days in the new renewal date shown in the Account.
- No rewards are given for ratings or reviews of the App or the Service.
§ 6. Limits and fair play
- A Referrer gets rewards for at most 10 qualified referrals per calendar month. Further referrals in that month qualify (the invited person gets their 100 Coins), but the Referrer gets no rewards for them and they do not count towards the reward in § 5(4).
- A referral does not qualify when:
- the Referrer refers themselves – in particular uses their own code or invites an Account created on the same phone or in the same browser they use;
- the invitation was used from the same network (the same IP address) the Referrer used within the previous 24 hours;
- another referral has already qualified on the same phone or in the same browser (one rewarded referral per device);
- the e-mail address is not new within the meaning of § 4(2).
- Abuse – in particular fake or mass-created Accounts, e-mail addresses created to collect rewards, automated scripts, getting around the rules in section 2, spam or impersonating the Organiser – means rewards are withheld. The Organiser may also deduct unused Coins obtained this way from the Account and, in the event of a serious breach, act under § 4(10) of the Terms of Service.
- To check these rules we use cryptographic hashes of the browser or App installation identifier and of the IP address (details in the Privacy Policy).
§ 7. Coins from the Programme
- Coins from the Programme work like any other Coins (§ 5(4) of the Terms of Service): they can only be used to unlock Chapters, have no monetary value, cannot be transferred to another Account or person, and cannot be exchanged for money or refunded in money.
- Coins from the Programme are not a purchase – there is no right of withdrawal or refund of a price for them. Deleting the Account means losing Coins from the Programme, like any other Coins.
- Rewards are not available as money or in any form other than described in § 5.
§ 8. Personal data
Personal data in the Programme (including who invited whom, the Accounts' e-mail addresses, hashes of the browser or App installation identifier and of the IP address) is processed by the Organiser as controller, in line with the Privacy Policy: https://sekretnehistorie.pl/privacy/en.
§ 9. Complaints
Complaints about the Programme can be sent by e-mail to novels@gotoit.pl. They are handled under § 9 of the Terms of Service – we reply within 14 days.
§ 10. Changes and end of the Programme
- The Organiser may change these terms or end the Programme for valid reasons, giving notice on the Website (and on this page) at least 14 days in advance.
- A change or the end of the Programme applies only to invitations used after the day it takes effect. Rewards for referrals whose invitation was used earlier are given on the previous terms if the conditions are met within the periods in § 4 and § 5.
- These terms are available at https://sekretnehistorie.pl/referral-terms in a form that can be downloaded and printed, and in English at https://sekretnehistorie.pl/referral-terms/en. In the event of any discrepancy, the Polish version prevails.
