Refer a friend

REFER A SMOKER FRIEND Terms and Conditions: This programme is a Philip Morris Limited (“PML”, “we”, “us”) programme.

‘Referrer’ – the registered iqos.com customer referring a friend to IQOS
‘Friend’ – the person who has received a referral code from the referrer.

Age Verification. All Referrers and Friends must be over 18, and a smoker or user of other nicotine products. The Friend must be a first time IQOS purchaser and the Referrer must be an existing registered IQOS customer with IQOS device registered to their account on iqos.com.

How it Works

The Referrer must ensure they have asked for their Friend’s permission before referring them and sharing with them their unique referral code.

Referral codes can be shared via email, SMS and WhatsApp. Referral codes are individual rewards and must not be shared on social media or on large scale sharing platforms.

The Referrer can make multiple referrals and provided that these terms and conditions are complied with will be rewarded for each.

When the Friend purchases any IQOS Starter Kit, registers as a new customer on iqos.com and uses the Referrer’s unique code to make the purchase direct from us via our: customer care team, website or IQOS stores, they will receive £20 off any IQOS Starter Kit (reduction applied to device only).


The Referrer will normally receive a £20 credit to use on IQOS.com via email within 10 working days of the Friend completing their purchase and registering on iqos.com.

The £20 credit is valid once on any single item costing £20 or more on iqos.com. Only one code can be used per transaction and the voucher will expire 6 months from the date of issue.

If the product purchased by the Referrer using the £20 credit to use on IQOS.com is subsequently returned to PML, the Referrer will be refunded for any spend on top of the £20 credit. The code will not be returned to the Referrer.

PML reserves the right to replace the £20 credit with an alternative reward from time to time and in such a case PML will adequately communicate it to those customers.

Where PML does decide to offer an alternative reward, the issuing of that reward will depend upon the eligibility requirements communicated by email to those selected customers at the time.
Referral codes and £20 credit to be used on IQOS.com cannot be used for device upgrades.

WARRANTY

Warranty against faulty hardware. Our products are manufactured to a high standard and we do our best to make sure everything works perfectly so that you have the best possible experience with our products. All new devices and electrical accessories purchased direct from us online, over the telephone or in our IQOS stores or from an IQOS Representative come with a 12 month warranty against fault if you register your Product. Your original receipt acts as your proof of warranty so please make sure to keep this.

What does the warranty not cover? Due to the nature of the products, this warranty does not apply to consumable products such as TEREA or VEEV. Our guarantees provide cover against faults and breakage during normal use. This means that if your product develops a fault during the guarantee period, we'll arrange for it to be repaired or replaced free of charge.

How does the warranty work? The warranty provides cover against faults and breakage. During the warranty period, if your device or electrical accessory stops working properly or is faulty, we’ll arrange for the product to be repaired or replaced free of charge.

If you believe your IQOS device is faulty, you can benefit from our self-service diagnostic tool on IQOS.com. You will be guided through diagnostic and troubleshooting steps and if your device is diagnosed as faulty, you will be able to check your eligibility for a replacement under warranty and generate a replacement online. You must have your device registered on your IQOS.com account to use this service.

Alternatively, you can contact IQOS Customer Care if you believe your product is faulty and wish to have it repaired or replaced. You can also visit one of our IQOS stores to have a member of staff inspect the product. You’ll need to provide us with details of your product and the proof of purchase. We’ll perform a brief fault diagnosis with you over the telephone or in person to identify the root cause of the issue. If this assessment suggests a manufacturing fault, it may be possible to ship a new item out to you without waiting for you to return the original product (if you are calling IQOS Customer Care).

If we need more information, we’ll ask you to return the product to us, and to provide your contact details including your address. You’ll need to send us both proof of purchase and the faulty product. Once we’ve received the product, if we can’t repair it and it doesn’t fall under “What’s not included” below, we’ll replace it with a product of equivalent specification. If no equivalent product is available we‘ll discuss an alternative settlement with you, and we’ll always do our best to make sure that you’re satisfied with the outcome. If you return a product to us which is not faulty, then we may return the items to you or offer you a replacement at your own cost.

What’s not included? There are some specific exclusions from our warranty that you need to be aware of before you contact us. The warranty does not apply to the following:

- Products which have been used for more than 7,300 cycles

- Accidental damage, for example if your product has been dropped

- Consumables such as TEREA and VEEV

- If the product has been used commercially or for business purposes

- Cosmetic wear and tear such as scratches, dents, corrosion or colour where the function of the product is unaffected

- Any loss suffered as a result of not being able to use the product, or any loss over and above the purchase price of the original item

- Servicing, inspecting or cleaning of the product; and failure to follow our instructions for use

- Deliberate damage or neglect of the product

The rights conveyed under this warranty are in addition and without prejudice to all rights and remedies provided by consumer protection laws in the United Kingdom. You may also have rights and remedies for a longer warranty period, at least 2 years, in respect of any defect existing at the time of delivery.

RECYCLING AND WEEE

How to recycle old electrical items. If you’re buying a new electrical item from us, we will recycle your old one for free. We’ll then store it and dispose of it in an environmentally sound way. Just hand in your old device when you purchase in store. As part of our commitment to responsible retailing IQOS UK is also a member of a Distributor Take-back Scheme (DTS). IQOS UK pays into a central scheme, which helps to fund recycling sites throughout the UK. You can deposit your old electrical and electronic items at these sites free of charge.

To recycle your old electricals yourself find your nearest recycling point here: www.recycle-more.co.uk

Which IQOS products can be recycled? Any of our products marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the packaging can be recycled.

Why recycle? Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health. To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed‐out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

What is WEEE? The UK WEEE Regulations were first introduced in 2007 with the aim of reducing the amount of EEE ending up in landfill. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take‐back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
