If you are unsure whether an investment listed as part of the Services with a third party is suitable for you, you should contact an independent financial adviser for advice. You are also solely responsible for taking your own tax advice in relation to any investment.

Partners

As part of the Services, Prograd provides website links and details of products and services that may be available from various third party businesses ("Partners"). The operation and content of any websites, and any products and services from Partners, are determined by Partners and will be governed by their separate terms and conditions. If you purchase a new product or service from Partners because of Prograd, we may receive a payment, however, as we are not responsible for the products and services provided to you, or websites provided by those Partners. We make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied regarding the same.

The use of Partners' products and services may be subject to terms and conditions and where you decide to procure services or products from any Partners it is your responsibility to: (a) check the suitability and adequacy of the product or service that is of interest to you (and if in any doubt, then you should seek independent professional advice before making a purchase or signing up); (b) read and ensure you understand the terms and conditions of their website and of any product or service you may be signing up to or purchasing; and (c) read and comply with the applicable terms and conditions.

We will use reasonable endeavours to check that Partners are regulated in the provision of offering regulated, i.e. credit-related, products, however if you wish to check this yourself you can do so by checking the Financial Services Register on the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) website.

We are not directly regulated by the FCA and do not provide any Services as an FCA regulated firm.

  • Recommendation algorithm/engine.Our platform (Prograd) uses a recommendation algorithm that utilizes information obtained from and not limited to: your sign-up details, on-site browsing history, and behavior (i.e. clicks on the website) to suggest offers that we deem to be more pertinent to your current needs.

These companies may offer compensation to us to enhance their ranking or visibility on our website and to reach a broader audience. We will always disclose the presence of sponsored offerings on our website. These offers may enjoy a higher ranking on our website for a specified or an indefinite period and may rank higher than they would through our standard recommendation algorithm.

Changes to these Terms

If we make any amendments to these Terms, including amendments to any “Part” of these Terms, we will aim to give you at least 30 days' notice (unless we are required by law or a regulator to implement the amendments quicker). You understand that even though we will try to give you notice of any amendments, we don't need to obtain your consent to do so, and Prograd will not be liable for any associated losses which may arise as a result.

Part 3

You should take the time to review this section. By using Prograd and earning Pro Points, you will be partaking in our Pro Points Rewards Program and therefore you agree to these terms and conditions. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully.

What are Pro Points and what is the Pro Points Rewards Program

Prograd's ‘Pro Points Rewards Program' is a reward scheme provided as a token of appreciation for your active participation on the Prograd platform for which Pro Points are offered. By engaging with the Prograd platform, you have the opportunity to earn points (“Pro Points”).

The number of Pro Points that you have collected will be available to view in your Prograd account via your Pro Points Stash, which you can track at any time.

Once you have collected a certain number of Pro Points, you will be eligible to redeem a reward subject to these Terms. The number of Pro Points needed to redeem a reward will be made available on the website and may change from time to time.

How to earn Pro Points

You can earn Pro Points by actively engaging with Prograd's offerings, such as starting side hustles, improving saving habits, referring friends, using the Prograd Investing Simulator and more. We will always make it clear on the Prograd platform which activities will generate Pro Points, and how many Pro Points are up for grabs.

It's important you understand that the number of Pro Points earned may vary based on the specific activity you partake in and that some activities may not generate any Pro Points.

“Rewards” that you may be able to redeem may include cash, gift cards, discounts and other incentives.

How to redeem your Rewards

Rewards can only be redeemed once you reach the minimum threshold needed to trigger a Reward (the “Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount”). Remember, these thresholds may change from time to time so you'll need to see what threshold applies by regularly checking the website.

You understand that you cannot redeem any Reward unless and until you reach the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount. If you've not collected enough Pro Points to reach the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount then you will not have the option to redeem a Reward.

All Reward redemptions you make are final and cannot be returned for credit, exchanged or otherwise.

Once you reach the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount you may be asked by either Prograd or one of our third party partners to: (a) verify your email address; provide your bank details/chosen withdrawal method; (c) provide a qualifying UK identity document; and (d) any other proof of identity or eligibility which we or a third party partner may require from time to time.

Failure to provide the information we need in order to transfer the Reward to you, including failing to help us to verify your identity (when necessary) may result in a delay in you getting (and in some circumstances a complete forfeiture of) the Reward. If this happens, Prograd will not be liable for any associated losses which arise from any delay or forfeiture.

No affiliation with Partners

Some Rewards earned through the Pro Points Rewards Program may be offered by our third party partners (each a “Partner”). These Partners are in no way affiliated to Prograd and we simply have a relationship with them in order to facilitate the offer of the applicable Reward to you.

Any Rewards offered by a Partner and earned through the Pro Points Rewards Program will be subject to the Partner's applicable terms and conditions, and the Partner reserves the right at any time to (a) remove; (b) amend; and (c) suspend the Reward at any time in accordance with their terms and conditions. Prograd will not liable to you for any actions taken by a Partner regarding a Reward. Whenever possible, we will do our best to direct you to these Partner terms and conditions, but you may need to access these yourself when you agree to access or redeem any Reward.

When Rewards and Pro Points expire

Once you have reached the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount, you must redeem your Reward within 30 days. Users are encouraged to redeem their Reward within this timeframe otherwise your right to redeem the Reward may expire and you may no longer be able to redeem it.

Every Pro Point you earn will be valid for redemption for a period of 12 months from the date your first earn them. After 12 months has passed, the applicable Pro Points will expire – this means that they will not roll-over to a new 12-month period and they will not contribute towards your Minimum Pro Point Redemption Amount after they've expired. Prograd has no liability to restore any expired or unused Pro Points.

Pro Points are not Money and we do not hold any Money on your behalf

BY TAKING PART IN THE PRO POINTS REWARDS PROGRAM, YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PROGRAD DOES NOT HOLD OR STORE ANY CASH OR MONEY ON BEHALF ITS USERS. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PRO POINTS:

  1. ARE NOT REAL MONEY;
  2. HAVE NO CASH, MONETARY OR OTHER VALUE UNTIL REDEEMED STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS;
  3. CANNOT BE EXCHANGED FOR OR DRAWNDOWN AS CASH AT ANY TIME;
  4. CANNOT BE USED AS LEGAL TENDER AND ARE SOLELY INTENDED FOR USE WITHIN THE PROGRAD PLATFORM; AND
  5. ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE TO EXTERNAL PARTIES OR OTHER PROGRAD ACCOUNTS AND IS SPECIFIC TO THE INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT HOLDER ONLY.

Redemption processing time

Once a request for redemption is initiated, Prograd will aim to ensure your Reward is sent to your chosen redemption method within 7 working days. Please note that Prograd may not necessarily accept your chosen redemption method and any delays beyond this period may be subject to the chosen redemption method's processing times (for example some banks have longer processing times than others, and this is something which Prograd has no control over). You understand that Prograd will not be liable for any delays to the redemption of any Reward.

What happens to your Pro Points if we terminate or suspend of your Prograd Account

If Prograd has suspended or terminated your Prograd account for any of the reasons outlined in these Terms, any Pro Points you have earned cannot be redeemed and may be forfeited (even if you had already reached the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount).

Prograd also reserves the right to reclaim any Pro Points held in your Prograd account or to suspend or terminate any Rewards which are in the process of being redeemed by you, if you breach these Terms.

If you have a problem with your Pro Points or the Pro Points Rewards Program (including redeeming Rewards)

In the event that your Pro Points do not appear in your account within 14 days after completing an eligible activity, if you have not received the Reward or if you believe there are any issues around redeeming the Reward, please reach out to our support team at help@prograd.uk for assistance. We will aim investigate and resolve the issue promptly.

Prograd owns all Pro Points

Pro Points are the exclusive property of Prograd. Any attempt to manipulate or fraudulently obtain Pro Points by creating multiple accounts or engaging in deceptive activities will result in immediate suspension of your account and potential legal action for fraud. Prograd reserves the right to recover any Pro Points obtained through fraudulent means.

What Prograd are not liable to you for

By participating in the Pro Points Rewards Program, users acknowledge that Pro Points are not real money or a debt owed to them by Prograd at any time whatsoever. Users understand that Prograd is not responsible for any financial losses or liabilities you incur by partaking in the Pro Points Rewards Program. Prograd shall not be held liable for any costs, damages, losses, expenses, or otherwise arising from the use of or reliance on the Pro Points Rewards Program whatsoever.

Prograd reserves the right to: (a) amend the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount; (b) amend or cancel the Pro Points Rewards Program; (c) amend the eligibility requirements for redeeming Rewards; (d) revoke or cancel any Pro Points earned; and (d) otherwise update these Part 3 Terms, for any reason whatsoever, without any further liability to you. If we make any of the amendments above, we will do so in accordance with the “Changes to these Terms” section in Part 1 of these Terms.

If Prograd is required to suspend or cancel the Pro Points Rewards Program, any accumulated Pro Points which have reached the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount will remain redeemable for 14 days from the date that the notice of cancellation is made to you. Please contact us at help@prograd.uk if you have reached the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount and have not yet redeemed your Reward.

No Financial Advice

Prograd does not provide financial advice. The platform's purpose is to offer tools and opportunities for financial growth and management [,including your use of the Pro Points Rewards Program]. Users are encouraged to seek professional financial advice when making significant financial decisions.]

Part 4

This section applies to the extent that you participate and engage with the Prograd Investing Simulator (“Investing Simulator”). By participating in the Investing Simulator you agree to these terms and conditions. Please read the following terms and conditions, together with the Terms above, before participating.

How the Investing Simulator works

Using the Prograd Investing Simulator is simple and below is a step-by-step guide on how it works:

  1. To participate in the Investing Simulator you must be earning Pro Points through your use of the Prograd platform (see Part 3 (Pro Points Reward Scheme) for more information on this).
  2. Once you start earning Pro Points, you can choose to transfer up to 30% of your Pro Points available in your Pro Points Stash to your Investment Stash in the Investing Simulator at each given time. This means that you will be committing a certain number of your Pro Points to the Investing Simulator.
  3. When you commit to transfer Pro Points into your Investment Stash, your Pro Points will be “Locked” for a duration of 30 days (the “Lock-In Period”), which means you will not be able to transfer the Locked Pro Points from your Investment Stash back to your general Pro Points Stash during this period.
  4. During the Lock-In Period you can choose to dummy “invest” your available Pro Points from your Investment Stash into a range of simulated investments available on the Investing Simulator. Each simulated investment will be worth a different amount of Pro Points and carry its own risk level, i.e. an indication of how “good” or “bad” the simulated investment might be based on an algorithm designed by Prograd (the “Prograd Algorithm”) - see below for more information on how this works.
  5. During the Lock-In Period, the performance of your Pro Points via the simulated investments you have made will be based on the Prograd Algorithm.
  6. It's important you understand that this means that your Pro Points may increase or decrease depending on how they perform against the Prograd Algorithm during the Lock-In Period. You can track the performance of your Pro Points during the Lock-In Period against Prograd's Algorithm via the Investing Simulator
  7. At the end of the Lock-In Period, you will be able to see if the Pro Points in your simulated investments have grown, reduced or even stayed the same. You will be able to see your new total of Pro Points via the Investing Simulator in your Investment Stash at the end of the Lock-In Period.
  8. Now, you can choose whether to withdraw your Pro Points from the simulated investment(s) and transfer it back to your Pro Points Stash and have them added towards any potential Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount (and therefore your eligibility to access a Reward), or keep them in any simulated investment(s) on the Investing Simulator for an additional Lock-In Period to see if your Pro Points might increase some more next time round. [Note that you can only transfer up to 30% of the Pro Points from your Pro Points Stash to your Investment Stash for each Lock-In Period.]
  9. You will also have the opportunity to earn bonus Pro Points by taking part in interactive activities made available on the Investing Platform from time to time to test the knowledge gained by your use of the Investing Simulator. We will let you know how many bonus Pro Points you may earn by completing each activity, and any Pro Points earned will be added to your Investment Stash during the then-current Lock-In Period, which can then be transferred to your Pro Points Stash or kept in your Investment Stash to use towards other simulated investments. Some activities, like quizzes, may result in you losing available Pro Points in your Investment Stash, and it is always your responsibility to check the information provided on each activity before participating.

You should be aware that during the Lock-In Period any additional Pro Points you earn through your engagement with the Prograd platform outside of the Investing Simulator (see Part 3 (Pro Points Reward Scheme) above) will not count towards your Investment Stash, and will appear separately in your general Pro Points Stash available on your Prograd account. You will be able to continue earning additional Pro Points during any Lock-In Period as set out in Part 3 above (Pro Points Reward Scheme).

You understand and acknowledge that participation in the Investing Simulator is at your own discretion. You further agree and acknowledge that as a result of partaking in the Investing Simulator, you may have less (or more) Pro Points at the end of the Lock-In Period than you did before you used them to make a simulated investment. As a result, this may impact the number of Pro Points you have available to contribute to the Minimum Pro Points Redemption Amount, and therefore your eligibility to access a Reward.

Prograd Algorithm

The performance of your Pro Points via the simulated investments you make on the Investing Simulator is not tracked by or linked to a real or live stock exchange, financial index or otherwise. The Prograd Algorithm is the performance metric developed by Prograd in its sole capacity which may draw on how certain stocks, shares or other financial instruments in companies are performing or have performed in real life historically, and other investment or market related factors or trends that Prograd deems appropriate. The Prograd Algorithm may be varied from time to time and is simply intended for educational purposes.

Prograd Investing Simulator is not a trading platform

  2. YOUR ACTIVITY DOES NOT AMOUNT TO A REAL INVESTMENT IN STOCKS, SHARES OR ANY OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS; AND
  3. YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE INVESTING SIMULATOR IS INTENDED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
