18: ADDITIONAL REFERRAL TERMS

Referral Commission Agreement

This Referral Commission Agreement was entered into on registration (the ̈Effective Date ̈), by The Supplier and The Customer (the “Referring Party”).

The Referring Party is an associate or a Customer of the Supplier for the purposes of this agreement.

The Supplier shall pay to the Referring Party a Net Total Amount Outstanding in GBP or US$, made up of a Commercial Referral Fee of £1 per purchase up to £2.50 per transaction or subscription made by each commercial referral and referred member provided after any outstanding fees owned have been deducted.

The above assumes they meet the basic qualifications requirements. Qualifying requirements are defined and subject to change at any time at the sole discretion of the Supplier.

As above Commercial Referral Fee amounts are first deducted from any “Outstanding Fees” or costs owned to the Supplier by the Referring Party.

A Commercial Referral is defined as Customer Prospect that results in a commercial transaction being reached and revenue paid from the new Customer to the Supplier. The Customer Prospect/Proposal and the resulting new Customer have to be the same legal entity or person.

A Commercial Referral Fee is defined as fees resulting from paid new business revenues paid by a newly proposed and proceedable customer. In the event that no new customer revenues are received no fee exists.

Outstanding fees can additionally include (a) fees that are due to be billed within the following 90 days or (b) include implementation, payment provider, transaction, foreign exchange or maintenance fees or (c) include fees for professional services, new functionalities, features or enhancements (d) outstanding costs incurred by the Supplier in the operation or provision of the platform or related hosted Services on behalf of the either the Supplier or Customer (Referring Party).

A valid paid transaction must be received from a referred user before commission can be granted or paid.

Under the following circumstances the referral will not be granted or paid out: i) If the referred members’ subscription is cancelled prior to completing any trial period, ii) payment from the referred member cannot be taken for any reason, iii) if the referred member requests a refund less than 31 days after payment, then commission will not be granted or paid.

We pay the GBP (£) equivalent market price in your domestic currency at the foreign exchange rate set by our payment provider at the time of conversion +/- 4% fees. All payouts are subject to manual review, they are discretionary and may not be paid for up to 60 days.

A purchase must be made by the referred. The purchase / transactions must have a duration longer than 30 days to trigger a valid referral and therefore a future payout to the referring member.

The Supplier will pay the Referring Party the Net Total Amount Outstanding in GBP (Commercial Referral Fee – Outstanding fees) within 90 business days of receiving payment from the new client or customer.

The Referring Party / the Customer understands and agrees that the Supplier shall be entirely free to accept or reject any proposal that the Referring Party provides.

Either party can terminate this agreement by providing 30 days written notice to the other party.

In the event of any legal action to enforce this agreement, said action shall be adjudicated in the jurisdiction of the Supplier and shall be interpreted according to the laws of the jurisdiction where the Supplier is registered, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its actual legal fees and expenses incurred in such action from the unsuccessful party.
