Terms

Version 2026-10-15.1

MAF Youth Vouchers and Rewards

Effective date: 14 October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms explain how MAF Youth vouchers and membership rewards are issued, used and managed by Masjid Al Farouq (MAF).

By taking part in a reward promotion, you agree to the version of these terms that applies to that promotion when you take part.

Vouchers are a promotional benefit to help members take part in MAF events. They are not cash, a credit balance or a form of payment that can be withdrawn.

These terms apply alongside our Membership Terms and Conditions and any conditions shown for a particular event or promotion.

2. Joining reward

2.1 The joining reward

New members who pay to join a MAF Youth membership receive a joining reward of £15, issued as three £5 vouchers.

The vouchers are added to your account when your membership starts, once your first membership payment has been received. One joining reward is issued for each eligible membership start.

2.2 Your first event as a new member

As a new member, your first event is at the normal (non-member) price, and vouchers cannot be used on it. This applies to your own place only, whichever event you book first.

From your second event, you pay the member price and your vouchers can be used.

If you booked your own place on an event at the normal price before you joined, that booking counts as your first event, so the member price and your vouchers apply from your next booking.

Checkout shows when your first event is at the normal price, before you pay.

This rule does not apply to members rejoining under a rejoining offer (section 3), or to memberships granted by MAF staff (section 8).

2.3 Event-specific rewards

MAF may offer a different joining reward for a particular event. Where it does, the reward and its conditions will be shown with that event, and they take the place of the standard joining reward. Event-specific rewards do not add to the standard joining reward.

2.4 Previous members

Joining rewards are for new members. Anyone who has held a MAF Youth membership within the 24 months before their new membership starts is not eligible for a joining reward. They may instead be offered a rejoining reward (section 3).

2.5 Eligibility

Rewards are subject to the requirements of the membership and the promotion. For memberships with age limits, including MAF Youth, you must meet the age requirements.

MAF may check membership status, booking history, age eligibility and previous rewards before issuing vouchers.

3. Rejoining reward

From time to time MAF may offer a rejoining reward to former members.

Under the standard rejoining offer, eligible former members receive one £5 voucher when they rejoin.

To qualify:

  • your previous membership must have ended within the last 12 months
  • you must not hold an active membership when the offer is assessed
  • you must be on that offer's list of recipients, which only includes people who have agreed to receive MAF Youth offers by email
  • you must rejoin while the offer is open, as stated in the offer email
  • you must meet any other conditions stated in the offer

The rejoining reward is only available to the people it is sent to. It is not automatically available to every former member, and it can only be received once per offer.

When you rejoin under the offer, you pay the member price from your first booking, and your £5 voucher can be used on any event that accepts vouchers, including the event the offer mentions.

The offer email is your notice of the reward: you will not receive a separate voucher email when you rejoin. Your voucher will be applied for you at checkout.

A rejoining reward does not also entitle you to a joining reward.

4. Using your vouchers

4.1 Applied automatically

Vouchers are applied automatically at checkout when you are signed in to your MAF account. You do not need a code. The discount is shown at checkout before you pay.

4.2 Your own place only

Vouchers are personal to the member they are issued to and can only be used towards your own place on an eligible event.

They cannot be used for places booked for guests, family members or anyone else, even in the same booking. Vouchers cannot be transferred, shared, gifted or sold.

4.3 Whole vouchers only

Each voucher is used in full on one booking. Vouchers are never part-used, and no change or remaining balance is given.

A voucher is only applied when, after it, at least 30p is still left to pay for your place, which is the smallest amount our card payments accept. A voucher that is not applied for this reason stays in your account for a later booking.

For example, if your place costs £35 and you have eight £5 vouchers, six are applied (£30) and you pay £5. The other two stay in your account.

A voucher can only be used once.

4.4 Order of use

Where you have more than one voucher, those that expire soonest are used first. Several vouchers can be used on the same place, as described in section 4.3.

4.5 When vouchers cannot be used

Vouchers cannot be used:

  • on your first event as a new member (section 2.2)
  • on events that do not accept vouchers. Not every MAF event does, and checkout will say so where vouchers are not accepted.

A voucher being in your account does not mean it can be used for every event. Whether vouchers can be combined with other offers depends on the event or promotion, and any restriction will be shown at checkout.

4.6 No cash value

Vouchers have no cash value. They cannot be exchanged for cash, withdrawn, refunded as money or used outside MAF bookings.

5. When vouchers expire

Each voucher expires 24 months after the day it is issued, at the end of that day (11:59 pm UK time). The expiry date is shown when the voucher is issued.

Expired vouchers cannot be used and will not normally be reinstated. MAF may extend a voucher's expiry where a promotion allows it, or where it considers it appropriate.

6. If your membership ends

Vouchers from membership rewards are linked to your membership.

If you cancel your membership, your vouchers stay available until your membership actually ends, subject to their expiry dates. Your vouchers are forfeited only when your membership actually ends, not when you ask to cancel it.

Once your membership has ended, any unused vouchers are cancelled and cannot be used. Starting a new membership does not restore them.

7. Cancellations and refunds

7.1 If you cancel a booking or ask for a refund

Refunds are considered under the cancellation terms for the booking or event. They are handled by MAF through our payment provider, Stripe.

A refund does not automatically give back vouchers used on the booking. It creates a pending cancellation, which an authorised member of MAF staff reviews. Whether vouchers are given back is decided as part of that review, under the promotion's rules.

7.2 If MAF cancels a booking or event

If MAF cancels your booking or the event, the vouchers used on that booking are given back at their original value, and they keep their original expiry date. MAF will tell you when your vouchers have been given back.

7.3 Your statutory rights

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any refund, remedy or other right you have by law.

8. Memberships granted by MAF staff

When MAF staff grant a membership directly, including complimentary memberships, they may choose whether to issue the joining reward with it. Where they do, the same limits and conditions apply, except that the first-event rule in section 2.2 does not apply.

MAF may make administrative adjustments to correct a reward that was issued wrongly or missed.

9. Emails from MAF

9.1 Offers

MAF may email you about joining, rejoining or other voucher offers only where you have agreed to receive MAF Youth offers. Rejoining offers are only sent to people who have agreed.

You can stop these emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any offer email, or by contacting MAF. This stops future offers but does not cancel vouchers you already have.

9.2 Service emails

MAF sends emails about your membership, bookings and vouchers, for example when vouchers are issued to a new member, given back after a cancellation, or cancelled when a membership ends. These are service messages about your account, not marketing, and you will still receive them if you have opted out of offers.

10. How we use your information

To run vouchers and rewards, MAF uses:

  • your account and membership details, including when your memberships started and ended
  • your booking history, including the events, the prices and the amounts paid
  • your voucher records, including values, issue and expiry dates, and when vouchers were used, given back or cancelled
  • your eligibility for promotions and any previous rewards
  • your offer email preferences and when you agreed to them
  • the version of these terms that applies to your reward

We use this to check eligibility, issue and apply vouchers, run membership benefits, prevent misuse, handle refunds, contact you about your account and resolve queries.

Your information is handled under UK data protection law and our Privacy Notice, which explains the legal bases, how long we keep information, who processes it for us and your rights.

11. Misuse and rewards issued in error

MAF may investigate suspected misuse of vouchers or promotions, such as fraudulent bookings, false membership details, duplicate accounts, attempts to transfer vouchers or attempts to obtain rewards against these terms.

Where misuse or an administrative error is reasonably established, MAF may withhold, correct, cancel or recover a reward, where this is lawful and proportionate. MAF will consider the evidence and your circumstances, and will decide fairly and consistently with these terms.

12. Changes to promotions and these terms

MAF may change, pause or end a voucher or reward promotion, including its value, who is eligible and which events it covers. MAF may also update these terms.

Changes are published with a new terms version and effective date. The version recorded with your reward identifies the terms that apply to it.

Changes normally apply from when they are published and do not take away rewards already validly issued, except where the law requires it or in cases of fraud or error. MAF may make changes needed to comply with the law.

13. Queries

If you think a voucher was issued wrongly, was not applied when you expected, or was cancelled or forfeited in error, please contact MAF with your membership or booking reference and a short explanation. We will review it against your booking and membership records, the promotion's rules and the terms version that applies.
