| What Level of Partnership is Right for You? |
|
TOSH-points are used to recognize the depth and breadth of participation in the program and your impact in the market. Earning TOSH-points enables you to qualify for and achieve higher Partnership levels. There are three types of TOSH-points:
- Qualifying TOSH-points
- Additional TOSH-points
- Total TOSH-points
Qualifying points are TOSH-points that are used to achieve Silver or Gold Partnership levels. There are a number of activities that earn you qualifying points and each of these activities has a maximum number of qualifying points that can be earned.
For some activities, you can continue to earn TOSH-points. When the total number of TOSH-points earned for an activity exceeds the qualifying point limit, the extra points are referred to as “additional points.” All points are tracked within your ePartner account. In the event qualifying points expire or are no longer TOSH-points are tracked within your partner account. In the event qualifying points expire or are no longer valid, additional points may be converted to qualifying points, ensuring that you retain your Partnership level.
Total TOSH-points are the total amount of points earned over your partnership year—or, the sum of qualifying Tosh-Points and additional TOSH-points.
Any unused TOSH-points will be automatically cancelled and can no longer be available for use by account holder after 12 months from the date the TOSH-points awarded or if your membership status is terminated.
