- There is no limit to the number of qualifying referrals you may make
- Bonus amounts are not guaranteed and may be adjusted or discontinued at any time with reasonable notice

The following are prohibited and may result in disqualification, forfeiture of bonuses, and/or account suspension:
- Self-referrals: Creating multiple accounts to earn bonuses
- Spam: Unsolicited messages, bulk messaging, or deceptive advertising to generate referrals
- Income guarantees: Making misleading claims about potential earnings when promoting OnlySkills
