These terms and conditions ("terms") apply to the Georgia Natural Gas ("GNG") Refer-a-Friend program ("RAF Program" or "Program"). Referrers must click "Agree" to the RAF Program terms to participate in the RAF Program. Referees agree to the RAF Program terms by using an RAF Program Referral Code when enrolling with GNG.

Rewards and Eligibility

Under the Program, (i) qualified new residential or commercial customers who enroll on an eligibleGNG price plan (each, a "Referee") may be eligible to receive a reward under the RAF Program if GNG has an active RAF Program promotion for Referees at the time of Referee’s enrollment and the Referee enrolls using theRAF Program promotion code (each, a "RAF Referee"); and (ii) existing customers with either an active accountor pending active account who refer one or more Referees to GNG pursuant to the terms of the RAF Program (each, a \"Referrer\") are eligible to receive a reward under the RAF Program.

Referrers shall earn bill credits in an amount and under the terms stated in the RAF Program promotion available at the time of the applicable Referee’s enrollment (click here for the current Referrer promotion) for each Referee who: (i) enrolls on an eligible GNG price plan, (ii) provides or enters the Referrer’s unique Referral Code at the time of enrollment, and (iii) begins burning gas on an eligible GNG price plan.Referrers must also have either an active account or pending active account with GNG on the date the applicable Referee begins active natural gas service with GNG and at all times during the term of the bill credit payment schedule, if one is specified in the applicable RAF Program promotion. The bill credit will be reflected on Referrer’s GNG bill as a line item discount. This credit is contingent upon good payment history and may be terminated if Referrer is sent a Disconnection Notice at any time during the term of the credit. If Referrer earns more bill credits than there are charges on their next GNG bill then all excess bill credits will roll over to the following month’s bill. This cycle will continue until all bill credits are expended or Referrer is no longer an active customer with GNG, whereupon all remaining bill credits will become irredeemable and immediately forfeited with no recourse. Bill credits may only be redeemed as bill credits on GNG bills and Referrers cannot receive a check, cash back, refund, or other forms of reimbursement for bill credit balances. Existing GNG customers cannot refer themselves. Referrers may combine this offer with their pre-existing discounts and promotions. Referees are not required to provide or enter a unique Referral Code to earn the applicable promotion.

If GNG has an active RAF Program promotion for Referees at the time of a Referee enrollment (click here for the current Referee promotion), Referees shall earn the then-current RAF Program promotion by: (i) enrolling on an eligible GNG price plan, (ii) providing or entering the RAF Program promotion code at the time of enrollment (the Referee also has the option to provide or enter the Referrer’s unique Referral Code at that time), and (iii) satisfying the promotion terms. RAF Referees cannot combine this offer with any other offer. Referees may still provide or enter a Referrer's unique Referral Code at the time of enrollment while (i) there is no active RAF Program promotion for Referees at the time of the Referee enrollment or (ii) enrolling using another GNG promotional offer. A Referee's Referrer will not receive bill credits unless the Referee provides or enters their Referrer's unique Referral Code at the time of the Referee’s enrollment.

If an RAF Referee earns a Visa Reward Card through the RAF Program, the Visa Reward Card will be delivered within 4-6 weeks after the date the card is earned. Other terms and conditions may apply to the RAF Program promotion for RAF Referees, as further detailed in the applicable promotional offer from GNG with the applicable RAF Program promotion code, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference.

If an RAF Referee earns bill credits through the RAF Program, the bill credit will be reflected on RAF Referee's GNG bill as a line item discount. This credit is contingent upon good payment history and may be terminated if RAF Referee is sent a Disconnection Notice at any time during the term of the credit, as further detailed in the applicable promotional offer from GNG with the applicable RAF Program promotion code, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference.

If an RAF Referee earns a price per therm discount through the RAF Program, to remain eligible for the discounted price, RAF Referee must remain on the selected price plan during the applicable period and pay all charges billed by the date due, or discount may be cancelled, in which case RAF Referee will continue to be billed at the price plan rate without any discount, as further detailed in the applicable promotional offer from GNG with the applicable RAF Program promotion code, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference.

If an RAF Referee earns a credit to cover a fixed contract exit fee (limit $150), RAF Referee must fax a copy of bill showing fixed contract exit fee from RAF Referee’s current natural gas provider to GNG at 877.281.5775  within 90 days from the date GNG service begins, as further detailed in the applicable promotional offer from GNG with the applicable RAF Program promotion code, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by reference.

Enrollment eligibility, price plan availability and actual customer service charge, deposit requirement, price per therm and Guaranteed Bill amount are subject to GNG's credit and payment policies. See gng.com for price plans and customer service charge ranges. Guaranteed Bill amount does not include prorated service periods, taxes or one-time charges, which may include connection or late charges.
