Partner Program Terms

1. Who these terms are between

These terms govern participation in the Cheqq partner program. They apply from the moment you accept them when applying, and they replace anything discussed beforehand. Summaries elsewhere on our site are written for readability; where they differ from this page, this page is what applies.

The version of these terms you accepted is recorded against your application. This is version 2026-08-24.

2. Attribution

Your partner link sets a cookie in the visitor's browser that lasts 90 days. An account created within that window, on that browser, is credited to you. Where a visitor follows more than one partner link, the most recent one applies.

An account can only ever be credited to one partner, and that credit is permanent — a later link cannot move an account already attributed to someone else.

Accounts that already exist before you introduce them, and accounts already in an active sales conversation with us, are not attributable. We may also decline attribution where a signup appears manufactured rather than genuine, including self-referrals and accounts created to trigger commission.

3. What you earn

Referral partners earn 20% of net subscription revenue on both monthly and annual plans. Delivery partners earn 30% on monthly plans and 25% on annual plans, the difference reflecting that an annual plan is already discounted.

Net subscription revenue means the amount the customer actually pays us, after any discount, sales tax, and payment processing costs. It is never calculated on list price. Commission is not earned on one-time charges, AI credit packs, or any product we do not sell on subscription.

Where you have been granted authority to discount, your discount and your commission together may not exceed 35% of list on monthly plans or 30% on annual plans. Commission is reduced to keep within that ceiling.

In rare cases an account costs more to serve than it pays us. On those accounts, commission is capped at a share of the margin the account actually earned, calculated from metered cost of service. If this ever applies to one of your accounts we will show you the calculation.

4. How long you earn for

Referral commission runs for 12 months from an account's first paid invoice, not from the date it signed up. An account that takes months to convert still earns you a full term.

Delivery commission has no fixed end date. It is paid for as long as you are actually servicing the account, which is what the higher rate is for. It is not a permanent entitlement attached to the introduction.

5. Servicing, and when we take an account back

As a delivery partner you are responsible for getting each account live, being their first point of contact, and keeping them in working order. We support you on anything that needs us.

We may take servicing of an individual account back — because you ask us to, because the customer asks us to, or because the account is not being serviced to the standard above. When we do, we will tell you, and that account continues to pay your delivery rate for 30 days from the handover date.

After those 30 days the account reverts to referral terms: 20%, running for 12 months from that account's first paid invoice. Where that period has already passed, commission on that account ends.

This applies per account. Your other accounts are unaffected and continue to earn the delivery rate for as long as you service them.

6. Moving between tiers

Everyone joins as a referral partner. The delivery tier is offered by invitation, and normally once you have at least 5 accounts that are paying. Being eligible is not the same as being invited.

If you stop taking on servicing, we may move you back to referral terms. We will tell you before we do, and the notice in clause 5 applies to each affected account.

7. Getting paid

Commission is recorded when a customer's invoice is paid, and becomes payable 30 days later, once the window in which that payment can be refunded or disputed has closed.

We pay out monthly, once your payable balance is at least $50. Below that, the balance rolls forward. You are responsible for giving us accurate payment details, and for any tax due on what you earn — we do not withhold on your behalf.

If a customer refunds or charges back an invoice, the commission on that invoice is reversed. Where it has already been paid to you, it is recovered from your next payout rather than invoiced back to you.

8. How you may represent Cheqq

You may describe yourself as a Cheqq partner and use our name and logo to do so. You may not claim to be Cheqq, to speak for us, or to be our employee or agent. You may not bid on our brand terms in paid search, or register domains, handles, or app listings containing our name.

Do not make claims about what Cheqq does, what it costs, or what results someone can expect beyond what our own published material says. You are responsible for anything you tell a customer.

9. Ending the arrangement

Either of us may end your participation at any time, for any reason, with notice. Commission already earned and not reversed is still paid out on the normal schedule.

We may suspend or end participation immediately, and withhold unpaid commission, where we find manufactured signups, misrepresentation of Cheqq, or a breach of clause 8. We will tell you why.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. Where a change reduces what you earn or shortens how long you earn for, we will tell you at least 30 days beforehand, and it will apply only to commission earned after that date — never retroactively to commission already recorded.

Continuing to refer customers after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.
