Terms and conditions

These terms and conditions apply to the Bupa ’Refer a Friend’ $2,000 promotion (the Promotion). Entry into the Promotion is deemed acceptance of these terms.

Bupa’s standard application terms and conditions will also apply with respect to any applications for Occupation Right Agreement entered in connection with this Promotion.

The promoter is Bupa Retirement Villages Limited (Bupa) of Level 2, 109 Carlton Gore Street, Newmarket, Auckland.
The Promotion is available to existing residents with an ORA at a Bupa retirement village who refer (Referrer) a potential new resident (the Referred Resident) to an independent living home at Bupa Glenburn, Bupa Sunset and Bupa St Kilda Retirement Villages (the Participating Villages) during the Promotional Period (as defined below).
The potential new resident will not be considered as a “Referred Resident” if they have:

previously resided in one of Bupa’s retirement villages; or
a current application for an independent living home at a Participating Village as at the Launch Date of the Promotion.

Subject to these terms, the Promotion gives the Referrer and the Referred Resident $2000 each (Reward). The Reward is GST inclusive (if applicable).
The Promotion commences on 5 March 2025 (the Launch Date) and ends on 30 June 2025 (the Promotional Period). No referrals received after this date will be eligible to participate in this Promotion.
For the Referrer and the Referred Resident to receive the Reward:

A fully completed Bupa referral form signed by the Referrer and the Referred Resident must be submitted to the Village Coordinator of the relevant Participating Village during the Promotional Period. The Bupa referral form must be submitted before a completed application form for an Occupation Right Agreement in respect of the Referred Resident is received by Bupa, otherwise it will not be recognised; and
The Referred Resident must:

return a completed and signed application form for an Occupation Right Agreement at a Participating Village prior to the end of the Promotional Period;
enter into an Occupation Right Agreement for an independent living home at a Participating Village (without cancellation during the cooling-off period or the 90-day money back guarantee period); and
full settlement of the occupation right agreement and expiry of the cooling off period must occur on or before 19 December 2025.

Subject to these terms, the Reward will be paid to the Referrer’s and Referred Resident’s respective nominated bank account on the 20th of the month following the expiry of the 90-day money back guarantee period.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Promotion does not apply to a referral to a care home within a Participating Village.
Only one referral form per Referred Resident will be recognised. In the event of multiple referrals received for one particular Referred Resident, only the first referral form received by Bupa during the Promotional Period will be recognised.
Only one Reward will be given per successful referral to an independent living home at a Participating Village. For the avoidance of doubt, if the successful referral relates to two new residents with joint entry into an Occupation Right Agreement for one independent living home at a Participating Village, this will be treated as one successful referral and only one Reward will be given.
If a Referrer makes more than one successful referral, that Referrer may be given Rewards in relation to each successful referral, as long as all terms and conditions are met.
The Reward is not transferable.
The Promotion can be used in conjunction with the “12 months free village fees” promotion currently available at Bupa Glenburn and Bupa Sunset retirement villages, provided that the terms and conditions of the “12 months free village fees” promotion are met. Unless otherwise stated or agreed by us, the Promotion cannot be used in connection with any other discount, offer or promotion.
Bupa reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions and/or extend, suspend or terminate the Promotion at any time and without giving reasons. However, Bupa will honour the terms and conditions in respect of residents who have become eligible under the terms before any such amendment or cancellation by Bupa.
Bupa, may in its absolute discretion, decline to pay any Reward if it reasonably considers that the Referrer or the Referred Resident has not complied with the terms of the Promotion or if it is apparent to Bupa that the referral is not genuine.
