- Purpose. Company is in the business of offering SAAS design tools and analytics to businesses for their e-commerce activities. Referral Partner is in a position to refer prospective customers to Company. This Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which Referral Partner will do so as part of the Program.
- Referral Arrangement. By accepting this Agreement and participating in the Program, Referral Partner may, from time to time, refer new prospective customers (the “New Customers”) to Company on a non-exclusive basis. Company will pay Referral Partner a Referral Fee for each Successful Referral. A “Successful Referral” occurs where: (a) a New Customer signs up for Socioh’s services directly using Referral Partner’s dedicated “Referral Partner Link” provided by Company and (b) the New Customer converts to a paid Socioh account directly following the New Customer’s access to Socioh’s services following the use of the dedicated Referral Partner Link to Company. Further, a referral will only be a “Successful Referral” if the New Customer is not a customer that (i) the Company has already contracted with or contacted about its services or (ii) has already been referred to Socioh by a third party.
- Referral Fee. For each Successful Referral, the Company shall pay Referral Partner a payout based on the subscription fees for each New Customer that Referral Partner refers. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the payout per each Successful Referral shall only apply to the first twelve months of subscription fees received from such Successful Referral (less any returns or refunds), regardless of how long the Successful Referral remain a Socioh customer.
- Payments. A clear record of partner payments due to the Partner via Socioh’s Partner Program are maintained by the Partner in a shared Google Drive folder, to be paid by Socioh within 20 days of the interval or term agreed upon, once an invoice is generated by the Partner and emailed to Socioh. Socioh may delay Referral Partner payments until after the expiration of the money-back guarantee or other return periods for the associated Successful Referral. Referral Partner must keep all information updated and complete to receive proper payments. Payments returned due to incorrect payment email addresses or other incorrect information will not be repaid. The parties agree that records and payments will be deemed complete, incontestable, and final twelve (12) months after the applicable Successful Referral occurs.

Referral Partner is an independent contractor of Company and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee or agency relationship between the Company and Referral Partner for any purpose. Referral Partner has no authority (and shall not hold itself out as having authority) to bind Company and Referral Partner shall not make any agreements or representations on Company’s behalf. Each Party is solely responsible for paying all of its own costs and expenses related to this Agreement or any activities associated with the same.
