Standard Promotion Terms & Conditions (The “Terms”)

The tenant must have a valid tenancy agreement of thirty (30) weeks or more (unless stated otherwise) and have paid the rent due under the tenancy agreement, without any outstanding rent or other sums due to us or the landlord to be eligible to receive any incentive or promotion.
Withdrawal from the tenancy agreement at any point invalidates all promotions and/or offers and any promotional credit paid, or value of goods given, may be recovered either through cash repayment or from the tenant’s deposit.
For a promotion, offer or other incentive to be valid, the tenant must have complied with all obligations set out in the tenancy agreement or otherwise.
In order for a promotion, offer or other incentive to be claimed, the relevant, valid, and correct promotional code must be entered by the tenant at the time of booking by either entering the code online or submitting the code to an authorized employee of Gradpad (which is managed by Homes for Students), or an authorised employee of Homes for Students (“HFS”), Prestige Student Living (“PSL”), Essential Student Living (“ESL”), Urban Student Life (“USL”), Universal Student Life (“UVSL”), EVO Student (“EVO”), and/or UKStudenthouses.com (“UKSH”). Gradpad, HFS, and all aforementioned brands, along with any other trading names of Homes for Students, shall hereafter be collectively referred to as “HFS.” A code submitted after the time of booking will not be valid. HFS accepts no responsibility for codes not received by us.
If a promotion, offer or other incentive has been claimed and includes the payment of cashback or some other form of financial payment, it is the tenant’s responsibility to ensure the correct payment information is provided to HFS in order for HFS to complete the promotion, offer or other incentive and HFS has no liability for non-payment or non-delivery of any incentive, promotion and/or offer due to incorrect details being provided by the tenant. Any such payments sent to the incorrect bank account will not be recoverable and/or will be subject to a recovery fee.
HFS will use reasonable endeavours to reach the tenant to request information to allow it to make payment, fulfil the promotion or offer, or apply the discount. If such information is not received, HFS reserves the right to issue an alternative, or withdraw the incentive, promotion and/or offer at its absolute discretion.
Promotions, offers, or other incentives are non-transferable.
Goods and vouchers issued by HFS have no value, are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or anything else.
The time between correctly accepting any promotion, offer or other incentive and it being credited to your account and/or delivered may vary. HFS shall not be liable for any delays in this regard or for any consequences of any delays, which may occur.
Promotions, offers and/or incentives cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion, offer and/or other incentive. Attempting to use multiple promotions, offers and/or incentives can result in all promotions, offers and/or incentives being withdrawn.
All promotions, offers and/or incentives are subject to availability and HFS has total discretion as to whether to honour a promotion, offer and/or incentive or not.
HFS reserves the right to amend the Terms, the parameters of any promotion, offer and/or incentive or to discontinue any and all promotions, offers and/or incentives at any time, without notice.
Claiming any promotion, offer and/or incentive implies acceptance of the Terms.
Certain promotions, offers and/or incentives are unavailable at certain properties.
HFS has sole discretion to withhold the payment and/or delivery of any promotion, offer and/or incentive if the Terms have not been complied with, or for any other reason.
