Agency Partner Terms

1. The Programme

The Agency Referral Partner programme is for marketing agencies, consultancies and MSPs ("Partner", "you") who refer their clients to ClickGuardian. Referred clients contract and pay us directly at our standard retail pricing; you earn a recurring commission. We bill and support the client; you keep the relationship. It is distinct from our white label reseller route, which is covered by a separate signed agreement.

The programme is operated by Further Forward Innovation Ltd trading as ClickGuardian ("we", "us"), registered in England and Wales, company number 14146615, of Office One, 1 Coldbath Square, Farringdon, London, EC1R 5HL, VAT registration GB416505122.

Applications are reviewed individually. You must be a registered business. We may accept or reject applications at our discretion.

2. Commission Tiers

Commission is a percentage of Net Revenue from each referred client, paid for the life of the client's subscription: 20% with 1 to 9 active referred clients (Silver), 25% with 10 to 24 (Gold), and 30% with 25 or more (Platinum).

"Active referred client" means a referred client with a paid, non-cancelled subscription in the relevant month. "Net Revenue" means amounts we actually receive from the client for their ClickGuardian subscription, excluding VAT and net of refunds, chargebacks, discounts and credits.

Tier is assessed on your active referred client count. Upgrades apply from the month the threshold is crossed; downgrades are applied only at quarterly review. The new rate applies to commissions on all your referred clients from the date of change, not retroactively.

3. Attribution

A client is referred by you when they sign up through your partner link within 90 days of clicking it, use your assigned partner coupon code, or are registered by you in writing (email to partners@clickguardian.ai naming the client) before they begin a trial. Registration protects the referral for 90 days. If a prospective client is already a customer, already in trial, or already in an active conversation with us or another partner, the earlier relationship wins.

Your referred clients may use your assigned coupon code for 10% off their first 3 months.

4. Payment

Commissions are calculated monthly on Net Revenue received, with a 30-day holding period after each underlying client payment to cover the refund window. The minimum payout balance is £40 (or $50). Payouts are made monthly via the Tolt platform or by bank transfer against our monthly statement, as agreed with you. Refunds and chargebacks are deducted from future commissions. You are responsible for your own taxes.

5. One Route Per Client

A client account earns commission under these terms or is billed under a white label agreement, never both. You must not claim referral commission on any account you or an associated entity controls, bills, or manages under wholesale terms. If you later wish to move referred clients to a white label arrangement, we will agree the conversion at a quarterly review; commission on converted clients stops when wholesale billing begins.

6. Bona Fide Clients Only

Commission is payable only on referred clients that are genuinely independent businesses: a distinct legal entity or sole trader, unconnected to you, paying us with its own payment method for advertising run for its own benefit. Accounts owned or controlled by you, your owners, directors, employees, their immediate families, or any affiliated business do not qualify, and referring one is treated as self-referral. We may request evidence of the client relationship, decline commission on accounts that fail this test, and claw back commission already paid on them. Using ClickGuardian for your own advertising is welcome, at standard pricing; the referral programme is not a discount mechanism.

7. Partner Conduct

Sections 6, 7 and 8 of the Affiliate Programme Terms (prohibited activities, trademark licence, independent contractor status) apply equally to Partners, with one addition: you must not make representations to your clients about ClickGuardian's features, results or pricing beyond our published materials.

You remain responsible for your own client relationships and for complying with any duty you owe your clients when recommending paid tools, including disclosing that you receive a commission where required.

8. What We Provide

Partner directory listing (optional, with your consent), co-marketing assets, a named partner contact, early access to relevant features where practical, and direct support to your referred clients via email and live chat. Support commitments are service targets, not contractual SLAs, unless separately agreed.

9. Changes and Termination

We may amend the programme or these terms with 30 days' notice. Changes are not retroactive to commissions already earned.

Either party may terminate with 30 days' written notice. On termination without breach, commissions on existing referred clients continue for 12 months from the end of the notice period, then stop. On termination for breach, unpaid commissions are forfeit.

10. Liability and General

The programme is provided "as is". Our total liability to you under the programme is capped at commissions paid or payable to you in the 6 months before the claim. Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
