Referral programme terms of participation

MDH Distribution GbR

As of: 7 September 2026

← Back to the referral programme overview

This English version is provided for information only. The German version of these terms of participation is legally binding.

1. Organiser

The referral programme is organised by

MDH Distribution GbR
Hochstraße 17
47228 Duisburg, Germany
VAT ID: DE455079255
Email: info@mdh-distribution.com

(hereinafter “MDH”).

2. Eligibility

2.1 Only business customers registered in the MDH web shop who are entrepreneurs within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and who act in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity are eligible to participate.

2.2 Consumers within the meaning of Section 13 BGB are excluded from participation. The MDH web shop is aimed exclusively at businesses.

2.3 Natural persons acting on behalf of a company must be at least 18 years old and authorised to represent that company.

2.4 Rewards are granted exclusively to the participating company as a discount on its orders. Rewards are not paid out or credited to individual employees personally.

2.5 Employees of MDH and companies affiliated with MDH are excluded from participation.

3. How the programme works

3.1 Every eligible customer (“referrer”) receives a personal referral link or referral code in their customer account.

3.2 The referrer passes this link or code on to companies of their own choosing. MDH does not send invitations and does not process contact details of persons or companies known to the referrer.

3.3 The referrer is responsible for ensuring that their referral is passed on in compliance with the applicable regulations, in particular that no unlawful advertising is sent to third parties.

3.4 The referred customer (“new customer”) registers via the referral link or enters the referral code with their first order.

4. Conditions for the rewards

Rewards are granted if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. The new customer is a company that has neither previously been registered in the MDH web shop nor obtained goods from MDH in any other way.
  2. The new customer is not identical with the referrer and is not an affiliated company of the referrer. Self-referrals, multiple registrations of the same company and accounts created solely to obtain rewards are excluded.
  3. The referral link was used during registration or the referral code was entered in the designated field with the first order. It cannot be taken into account retrospectively.
  4. The new customer’s first order reaches a goods value of at least EUR 200.00 net before deduction of the discount and excluding shipping costs.
  5. The new customer’s first order has been paid in full and has neither been cancelled nor returned.

5. Rewards

5.1 New customer: The new customer receives a discount of EUR 25.00 net on their first order.

5.2 Referrer: The referrer receives a credit of EUR 40.00 net, which is applied to their next order. The credit is granted as soon as the conditions under section 4 are fully met.

5.3 All rewards are discounts on the purchase price. They reduce the price of the respective order; VAT is adjusted accordingly.

5.4 Rewards are not paid out in cash, are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for other services.

5.5 The referrer’s credit is valid for six months from the date it is credited and then expires without replacement. It can only be applied to orders whose goods value exceeds the amount of the credit. Partial redemption with a remaining balance is not possible.

5.6 Only one discount or credit can be redeemed per order. It cannot be combined with other discount promotions. Contractually agreed tier prices remain unaffected.

5.7 A referrer can receive rewards for a maximum of five successful referrals per calendar year.

6. Reversal

If the order that led to the reward is subsequently reversed, cancelled or not paid, in whole or in part, the entitlement to the reward lapses. MDH may offset rewards already granted against outstanding claims or reclaim them.

7. Misuse

If there is reasonable suspicion of misuse of the programme, MDH is entitled to exclude participants and to revoke rewards granted. Misuse includes in particular self-referrals, the use of false information, the creation of several accounts for the same company and the automated or mass distribution of referral links.

8. Data protection

MDH processes personal data of the participants within the programme to the extent necessary to run it. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. MDH does not collect contact details of third parties via the participants. Details can be found in the privacy policy.

9. Duration and changes

9.1 The referral programme runs for an indefinite period. MDH may change or end it at any time with effect for the future.

9.2 Reward entitlements that have already arisen remain unaffected by a change or termination and can be redeemed within their period of validity.

10. Final provisions

10.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

10.2 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this programme is Duisburg, provided the participants are merchants, legal entities under public law or special funds under public law.

10.3 Should individual provisions of these terms of participation be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

10.4 In addition, the General Terms and Conditions of MDH apply.
