    1. The lease of an electric vehicle for personal use, through business contract hire, salary sacrifice schemes or personal contract hire;
  2. To make referrals and generate rewards accordingly, we will provide you with a Personalised URL which you can provide to potential Referral Clients, for them to register their interest in our products. Rewards will only be issued if the Referral Client submits their information via your Personalised URL or it is provided to the Octopus Electric Vehicles team when the Referral Client first reaches out to discuss vehicle options.
