Referral Partner Agreement

Thank you for your interest in recommending my products and services. I value the people who help others discover my work, and I want this arrangement to be straightforward, fair, and mutually beneficial.

This agreement explains how my Referral Partner Program works and what you can expect when you participate.

1. The Referral Partner Relationship

The purpose of my program is to recognize and reward people who recommend my products and services to others.

Referral Partners participate independently. They are not my employees or agents, nor are they authorized to represent me or make commitments, guarantees, or agreements on my behalf.

There is no requirement to meet sales targets, and participation does not involve an exclusive arrangement.

2. Independent Responsibilities and Taxes

Each Referral Partner participates independently and is responsible for their own taxes, tax reporting, social contributions, business registrations, licenses, and any other legal or financial obligations arising from their participation in this program and the commissions they receive.

I do not withhold or pay taxes on behalf of Referral Partners, except where required by applicable law. Each partner is responsible for determining and meeting the requirements that apply in their own country or jurisdiction.

3. Authorization to Promote Products

Referral Partners may promote only the products for which they have received my specific authorization. Authorization is granted individually. It may cover one product, several products, or any other selection agreed upon.

Each partner receives a personalized authorization and commission schedule identifying:

The products they are authorized to recommend

The regular prices and any applicable referral discounts

The commission payable for each qualifying referral

Any special conditions that apply to a particular product

An application or expression of interest does not, by itself, constitute authorization. I confirm authorization after reviewing the application or discussing the arrangement with the prospective partner.

4. Referral Codes and Attribution

Each Referral Partner receives a unique referral code or other agreed means of identifying their referrals. Depending on the product, clients may enter the referral code when registering, enrolling, or making a purchase. In some cases, they may identify the person who recommended the product.

A referral is normally credited to the partner whose code or name is correctly recorded during the enrollment or purchase process. If a referral is not correctly recorded, the partner may bring it to my attention. I may credit the referral if there is reasonable evidence that the partner made the recommendation and the circumstances can be verified.

Referral Partners should encourage prospective clients to use their referral code or identify them when enrolling.

5. Commissions

Commissions are based on the products a partner is authorized to promote. Different products may have different commission arrangements. These may include fixed amounts, percentages of the sale price, or other product-specific conditions.

Some commissions are payable only once. For example, a consultation referral may earn a commission on the client's first session only. A subscription-based product may have a commission limited to the client's first paid month.

Commissions are earned on qualifying completed transactions for which payment has been received.

If a transaction is cancelled, refunded, reversed, or successfully disputed, the associated commission may be withheld or reversed. This also applies when a refund or reversal results from a partner's misrepresentation, unauthorized promises, or other misconduct. If a commission has already been paid, the amount may be deducted from a subsequent payment or included in the final accounting when participation ends.

6. Recording and Reporting

I maintain records of referrals, qualifying purchases, commissions earned, and payments made. Each partner has an individual record showing their referral activity and financial balance. These records are not shared with other partners.

I generally update partner records weekly, usually on Friday, and provide a monthly accounting of:

Qualifying referrals and purchases

Commissions earned

Payments made

Any outstanding balance

I may also introduce recognition and reward initiatives, including a leaderboard, to encourage participation and acknowledge referral achievements. Such initiatives may display referral activity or achievements using partner codes or other non-identifying designations rather than personal names or identifying details.

I consider accurate recordkeeping, transparent reporting, and mutual trust essential to this arrangement. I want every partner to feel confident that their efforts are being recognized and rewarded fairly. Our confidence in each other helps build a lasting relationship in which you can continue recommending my work and I can continue rewarding your contributions. You are welcome to contact me if you have a question or believe a referral or payment has not been recorded correctly.

7. Payment Schedule and Methods

Commissions are normally accounted for monthly. Payments are initiated by the fifth day of the following month. The time required for funds to reach the partner's account may vary depending on the agreed payment method and the financial institutions involved.

The minimum payment is US$25. Balances below this amount carry forward to the next payment period until the minimum is reached.

Payment methods are agreed individually, taking into account the partner's country, available payment services, currency, and transfer costs. Any applicable transfer, processing, or currency-conversion fees are the responsibility of the partner and will be deducted from the commission payment. I will discuss the intended payment method and any relevant costs with the partner before making the first payment.

If a partner's participation ends, I will calculate their final outstanding balance, taking into account any commissions withheld or reversed under Item 5. Any remaining amount payable will be paid regardless of whether the balance meets the minimum payment threshold. Applicable transfer and processing fees will be deducted as described above.

8. Representing My Work

Partners are welcome to recommend my products through personal conversations, email, social media, websites, videos, or other appropriate channels. Recommendations should be honest and accurate. Partners must not:

Make misleading claims about a product or its results

Promise discounts, services, or benefits that I have not authorized

Present themselves as my employees or official representatives, or imply that they speak on my behalf

Alter promotional materials in a way that misrepresents the product

Use spam, deceptive practices, or other inappropriate methods to generate referrals

Partners should disclose their financial relationship to prospective clients when making recommendations in circumstances where such disclosure is required or appropriate.

Promotional materials may be provided to help partners explain and recommend the products. Partners are not required to use exact wording, provided their descriptions remain accurate.

9. Confidentiality and Privacy

Partners must respect the privacy of clients and other participants in the program.

Client information obtained through participation in the referral program must not be disclosed, shared, or used for unrelated purposes.

Each partner's individual referral records, commission information, and payment details are confidential. Partners should not attempt to access another partner's records.

Referral activity and achievements may be displayed on the program leaderboard using partner codes or other non-identifying designations, but individual commission amounts, payment details, and other private financial information will not be disclosed.

10. Duration and Termination

Participation continues until either the partner or I decide to end the arrangement. Either party may end participation by giving written notice.

I may suspend or terminate a partner's authorization immediately if they misrepresent my products, make unauthorized promises or commitments, engage in deceptive or inappropriate promotional practices, or otherwise seriously breach this agreement.

Should your participation end, commissions already earned on qualifying transactions remain payable, subject to any withholding or reversal provisions in Item 5 and the final accounting provisions in Item 7. Termination does not eliminate a partner's responsibility for any financial losses directly resulting from their misconduct or breach of this agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Authorization to promote particular products may also be changed or withdrawn. I will communicate any changes affecting a partner's authorized products or commission arrangements.

11. Changes to the Program

I may introduce new products, change prices, revise promotional arrangements, or update my Referral Partner Program as circumstances require. Changes to commission amounts or conditions will be communicated to affected partners. Unless otherwise agreed, changes will apply to referrals made after the revised arrangements take effect, not to commissions already earned.

12. Acceptance of These Terms

Participation in my Referral Partner Program requires acceptance of this agreement.

By accepting an invitation to participate, or by being approved following an application, the partner confirms that they have read and agreed to these terms, together with their individual authorization and commission schedule.
