Cirrus Referral Program Terms & Conditions
(UPDATED JANUARY 20, 2026)
Cirrus Referral Program
Terms & Conditions
These Referral Program Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern participation in the Cirrus referral program (the “Program”) for referrals submitted on or after January 20, 2026. By submitting a referral, receiving referral credit, or participating in the Program in any manner, the participant agrees to these Terms.
Eligibility and Scope
The Program applies only to retail consumer purchases of new Cirrus aircraft. The Program does not apply to fleet, institutional, or other non-retail purchases, as determined by Cirrus. Participation is limited to individuals and entities approved by Cirrus, including: (i) Authorized Network Participants (“ANPs”), which include Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilots (“CSIPs”), Cirrus Training Centers (“CTCs”), and Authorized Service Centers (“ASCs”); (ii) Friends of Cirrus; and (iii) other participants designated by Cirrus from time to time. Participants must be in good standing with Cirrus as determined by Cirrus at the time of referral submission and referral award payment. Self-referrals and referrals involving a participant’s immediate family, household members, or entities owned or controlled by the participant are not eligible. Participation does not create any vested rights, property interests, or reasonable expectations, and participants should not rely on the continued availability of the Program or any specific award, rate, or benefit regardless of past practice or prior awards.
Referral Validity and Qualification
A referral will be considered by Cirrus only if all of the following requirements are satisfied:
(1) The referral is submitted through Cirrus’ referral portal before execution of a new aircraft order. Verbal referrals, emails, or other informal communications do not constitute a valid referral. Referrals submitted after execution of a new aircraft order are not eligible for qualification unless expressly authorized in writing by Cirrus. A submitted referral remains valid for twelve (12) months from the date of submission. Cirrus’ internal records are the sole basis for determining whether, when, and by whom a referral was submitted.
(2) Cirrus has received a signed new aircraft order from the referred purchaser with a non-refundable deposit.
Satisfaction of these criteria is necessary but not sufficient to qualify for a referral. Cirrus may determine that a referral does not qualify in its sole and absolute discretion notwithstanding satisfaction of the foregoing criteria based on any factors it deems relevant, and has no obligation to provide notice of, or explanation for, any such determination.
Cirrus will not recognize or enforce any private agreement between participants regarding the qualification, sharing, or division of referral awards. Qualification establishes administrative eligibility only and does not create any vested right, entitlement, or guarantee of payment.
Referral Award Amounts
The published referral award amounts in effect at the time a referral qualifies will serve as guidance for determining the award amount for that referral. Cirrus may update such published referral award amounts at its discretion as well as specify different referral award amounts for specific individuals or organizations other than the published amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any referral award amount, and the decision whether to make any referral award at all, will be determined by Cirrus in its sole and absolute discretion, and Cirrus may award an amount that differs from the applicable published amounts or may decline to make any referral award at all.
Advanced Bonus Rate referral amounts, if applicable, are credited at the time the referral qualifies, prior to the financial closing and delivery of the new aircraft purchase. If the applicable order is cancelled prior to delivery, any Advanced Bonus Rate amount previously credited or paid will be offset against the Advanced Bonus Rate for a future referral qualifying for the same participant. If no future referral qualifies within twelve (12) months of the cancellation, Cirrus may seek direct repayment of the outstanding amount from the participant and offset such amount against any other amounts payable by Cirrus. A participant may have no more than one (1) outstanding Advanced Bonus Rate debit due to cancellation at any given time. If a participant has more than three (3) order cancellations in the same calendar year, Cirrus may require that all future Advanced Bonus Rate referral amounts be paid at aircraft delivery. Any determination regarding debits, offsets, or repayment obligations will be final and binding.
Base Rate referral amounts are credited only upon financial closing and delivery of the aircraft. If no Advanced Bonus Rate referral amount is paid with respect to a qualifying referral, any referral amount that would otherwise have been payable prior to delivery will instead be paid at financial closing.
Cirrus Bucks
Cirrus Bucks are available exclusively to CTC and ASC participants and may be used only while the CTC or ASC remains in good standing with Cirrus under an active ANP agreement. Any Cirrus Bucks held by a participant will be automatically forfeited, without compensation, upon the participant’s loss of authorized status or failure to remain in good standing. Cirrus Bucks do not accrue, vest, or survive termination of the underlying ANP agreement, and no compensation, payment, or substitute benefit or credit will be provided in connection with any forfeited Cirrus Bucks. Cirrus Bucks are not legal tender, have no cash value, and do not constitute compensation, wages, commissions, or deferred compensation, nor do they create any property right, vested interest, or entitlement, and may be redeemed only as expressly permitted by Cirrus in its sole and absolute discretion. Cirrus Bucks are not assignable or transferable, and the sale, barter, exchange, pledge, or other monetization of Cirrus Bucks is strictly prohibited.
For the purchase of a new Cirrus aircraft, one (1) Cirrus Buck is equivalent to one U.S. dollar ($1). Cirrus Bucks may be applied to the purchase of a new Cirrus aircraft up to a maximum of $100,000 per aircraft order; and for no more than two (2) aircraft orders scheduled for delivery within the same calendar year unless otherwise expressly authorized in writing by Cirrus. For Cirrus goods and services (e.g., Cirrus Direct Parts, Cirrus Maintenance Training, Cirrus Factory Flight Training, Cirrus Store merchandise, Cirrus signage, and Cirrus Approach content), two (2) Cirrus Bucks are equivalent to one U.S. dollar ($1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cirrus Bucks may be modified, restricted, suspended, forfeited, or expired by Cirrus in its sole and absolute discretion with no compensation.
CTC Investment Referral
A CTC may receive an investment referral in accordance with the normal referral schedule for its own purchase of an aircraft if it is retained and utilized within the CTC primarily and regularly for training purposes for at least twelve (12) months. This requirement may be documented in the aircraft purchase agreement and is subject to review and approval by Cirrus Sales Leadership.
Prohibited Activities
Participation in the Program does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship, and participants have no authority to bind Cirrus. Participants may not negotiate pricing or contract terms, accept deposits, or otherwise act as an intermediary, broker, or agent in the sale of new Cirrus aircraft unless expressly authorized in writing by Cirrus. ANPs are prohibited from engaging in brokered listings or otherwise “holding out” preowned Cirrus aircraft for sale, including advertising on Controller or any other publicly accessible sales platform, except as expressly authorized in writing by Cirrus.
Compliance; Fraud; Program Integrity
Participants represent that they have obtained all required consents to submit purchaser information to Cirrus and to permit Cirrus to contact referred purchasers. Cirrus’ collection, use, and processing of personal data will be governed by Cirrus’ applicable privacy policies. Participants will comply with all applicable laws, including anti-corruption, sanctions, and export control laws. Cirrus may review, audit, and re-evaluate referrals and awards at any time, including after payment, and may withhold, deny, reverse, offset, cancel, confiscate, or recover any referral award if Cirrus determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that a participant has violated these Terms, is not in good standing, has engaged in fraud, bad faith, circumvention, or conduct contrary to the intent of the Program, or if required for legal or regulatory compliance. Cirrus may correct errors and offset amounts owed by or to a participant against referral awards and has no obligation to provide notice of or explanation for any determination under the Program. Participants must raise any dispute regarding referral qualification or payment in writing within sixty (60) days of the date they knew or reasonably should have known of the basis for the dispute, or such dispute will be deemed waived. No failure or delay by Cirrus in exercising any right under the Program will constitute a waiver of that right or establish any precedent for future referrals or awards.
Taxes
Referral awards may constitute taxable income, and participants are solely responsible for all tax reporting, payments, and compliance with applicable tax laws. Participants must provide accurate tax identification information to Cirrus, should consult their own tax advisors, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cirrus from any tax liabilities arising from the participant’s receipt of referral awards.
Program Administration; Discretion; Changes; Termination
All determinations, decisions, interpretations, classifications, and actions taken by Cirrus under or in connection with the Program will be made by Cirrus in its sole and absolute discretion and will be final and binding on all participants. Such determinations include, without limitation, determinations regarding Program eligibility, referral validity, qualification, purchaser status, submission timing, tier classification, award payment, award amounts, allocation, compliance, and interpretation or administration of the Program.
Payment of any referral award will be made in the form, manner, and timing determined by Cirrus and is subject to the participant’s satisfaction of Cirrus’ administrative, tax, and compliance requirements. Referral awards, including any right to receive payment or Cirrus Bucks, are personal to the approved participant and may not be conveyed or encumbered .
Cirrus may modify, suspend, or terminate the Referral Program at any time. Changes are effective upon posting. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of revised Terms. Cirrus may honor, deny, adjust, or condition payment of pending or qualifying awards at its discretion.
Integration; No Reliance
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Cirrus and the participant with respect to the Program and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, policies, referral matrices, communications, representations, or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the Program. The participant acknowledges that it is not relying on any statement, representation, promise, or course of dealing not expressly set forth in these Terms. No amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless made by Cirrus in writing or posted by Cirrus in accordance with the Program Administration section.
Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability.
The Program is provided “as is” and “as available.” Cirrus disclaims all warranties. Cirrus will not be responsible for delays or failures caused by system outages or events beyond its reasonable control. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cirrus will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the Program. Cirrus’ total liability, if any, will not exceed the referral award amount at issue.
Governing Law; Venue; Class Action Waiver; Disputes; Survival
These Terms and the Program are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. Any dispute must be brought exclusively in the state courts of Blount County, Tennessee, or the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee subject to the dispute timeline requirements set forth above. As a condition precedent to bringing any claim relating to the Program, the participant must provide written notice to Cirrus describing the dispute and allow at least thirty (30) days for informal resolution. Failure to comply with this requirement will bar the claim. All disputes must be brought in an individual capacity only. Participants waive any right to bring or participate in any class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action. Relief may be awarded only to the individual party. Provisions relating to discretion, audits, offsets, clawback and recovery rights, dispute resolution, class action waiver, and governing law will survive termination or modification of the Program. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
