2. ENROLLMENT AND PARTNER OBLIGATIONS
2.1. Enrollment: To enroll in the Program, you must complete the application form. We reserve the right to accept or reject any application at our sole discretion.
2.2. Compliance with Laws: You shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, including but not limited to those related to email marketing (e.g., CAN-SPAM Act), advertising, and data privacy. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your “material connection” to QuickReviewer in all promotions, as required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
2.3. Prohibited Activities: You shall not engage in any deceptive, misleading, illegal, or unethical marketing activities. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Using unsolicited email (spam) to promote QuickReviewer.
- Bidding on “QuickReviewer” or any variations of our brand name as keywords in any paid search advertising platform (e.g., Google Ads, Bing Ads).
- Using our brand name in your domain names or social media profile names.
- Placing referral links on any website that contain obscene, hateful, or illegal content.
- Offering unofficial discounts, coupons, or kickbacks to prospects.
2.4. Brand Representation: You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use QuickReviewer's logos and trademarks, as provided in the Partner Portal, solely for the purpose of promoting QuickReviewer Products under the terms of this Agreement. You agree to adhere to our brand guidelines.
3. LEAD REGISTRATION
3.1. Process: To claim ownership of a sales opportunity, the Partner must register the Lead through the Partner Portal prior to the Lead making direct contact with QuickReviewer. The registration must include, at a minimum, the company name, contact person, email address, and phone number of the prospect.
3.2. First-to-Register Rule: QuickReviewer will accept Leads on a “first-to-register” basis. If a Lead has already been registered by another Partner or is already an active prospect in QuickReviewer’s sales database, the new registration will be rejected.
3.3. Protection Period: Once a Lead is registered and accepted, the Partner will have exclusive rights to that Lead for a period of one (1) year from the date of registration (the “Protection Period”). During this period, QuickReviewer’s direct sales team will not proactively solicit the Registered Lead.
3.4. Inbound Conversion: If a Registered Lead contacts QuickReviewer directly to make a Qualified Purchase during the Protection Period, the originating Partner will still be entitled to the applicable commission, provided the Partner has maintained reasonable contact with the Lead.
3.5. Lead Registration Limit: To ensure focused engagement and high-quality lead management, each Partner may register a maximum of one hundred (100) new leads through the Partner Portal per calendar quarter. QuickReviewer may, in its sole discretion, grant exceptions to this limit following a direct discussion with the Partner to review their pipeline, conversion rates, and engagement strategy. Partners wishing to request an exception must contact the Partner Manager.
3.6. Lead Registration Exception: In exceptional cases where a Partner does not register a lead in the Partner Portal to maintain client confidentiality, an alternative attribution method is available. Upon request, QuickReviewer will provide the Partner with a unique “Partner Token.” The Partner must ensure their customer enters this token into the designated field during the payment process. A commission will only be attributed if the payment is successfully completed using the correct Partner Token.
3.6.1. Assumption of Risk: By choosing not to register a lead in the Partner Portal, the Partner acknowledges and accepts the risk that the lead may contact QuickReviewer directly or be registered by another Partner. In such cases, the “First-to-Register Rule” (Section 3.2) will apply, and QuickReviewer will not be responsible for any resulting lost commission opportunity.
3.6.2. Proof of Referral: If the Partner Token is not used correctly, the sale will not be attributed to the Partner. The Partner may request manual attribution by providing indisputable, time-stamped documentation proving their direct role in the sale. The decision to grant manual attribution rests solely with QuickReviewer.
4. COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
4.1. Commission Structure: The commission structure is as follows:
4.1.1. Partner-Sourced Enterprise Deals: For Qualified Purchases made by a Registered Lead sourced entirely by the Partner, the Partner will receive a commission of thirty percent (30%) of the Net Revenue received from the Customer's initial annual contract and for each subsequent successful annual renewal by that Customer.
4.1.1.a. If the partner-sourced lead chooses to enroll for QuickReviewer Pro Plan ($350 per year) or Premium Plan ($999 per year) instead of a customized enterprise plan, the partner is eligible to receive a one-time commission of twenty-five percent (25%) on the net subscription fee for the initial annual term. This commission is applicable only to the first twelve (12) months of the subscription.
4.1.2. QuickReviewer-Sourced Deals: For Qualified Purchases made by leads provided to the Partner by QuickReviewer's marketing team, the Partner will receive a commission of twenty percent (20%) of the Net Revenue from the initial annual contract, fifteen percent (15%) upon the first annual renewal, and fifteen percent (15%) upon the second annual renewal. No commission will be paid for the third renewal or thereafter for these leads.
4.1.2.a. Lead Engagement and Forfeiture: To ensure that all prospective clients sourced by QuickReviewer receive timely attention, partners must initiate meaningful follow-up with each sourced lead. QuickReviewer reserves the right to monitor such lead activity. If a sourced lead remains unengaged or lacks substantive follow-up for a reasonable duration (typically 15 days), QuickReviewer may, at its sole discretion, deem the lead forfeited and reassign it to another partner without prior notice. This policy maintains lead integrity and maximizes conversion opportunities.
4.1.3. Annual Retention Bonus: To reward partners who facilitate long-term customer success, Partners may be eligible for an Annual Retention Bonus. This bonus applies only to Partner-Sourced customers who have completed their third successful annual renewal (i.e., at the start of their fourth contract year). To qualify, the Partner must demonstrate to QuickReviewer's satisfaction that they supported client retention through activities such as support, check-ins, or communication facilitation. If these conditions are met and the qualifying customer renews, the Partner will receive a bonus commission of an additional two percent (2%) on that specific renewal Net Revenue. This applies only if the customer has not downgraded, paused, or canceled their subscription during the first three years.
4.2. Direct Customer Payments: All payments for Qualified Purchases must be made directly from the end customer to QuickReviewer through its designated payment systems. QuickReviewer will not process payments routed indirectly through a Partner.
4.3. Exclusions: No commission will be paid on implementation fees, training fees, consulting services, taxes, or any other non-subscription Net Revenue. Commissions are not paid on self-referrals.
4.4. Validation and Payment: Commissions are considered earned only after a sixty (60) day validation period following the Customer's payment to QuickReviewer, to account for potential cancellations or refunds. Validated commissions will be paid on a Net-30 basis (approximately 30 days after the end of the month in which the commission was validated).
4.5. Payment Method: Payments will be made via PayPal or direct bank transfer, as selected by the Partner in the Partner Portal. A minimum payout threshold of $100 USD applies. Partners are responsible for transaction fees and for providing accurate payment information and required tax documentation (e.g., W-9 or W-8BEN forms).
4.6. Currency: All financial figures in this Agreement, including Net Revenue, subscription fees, and commission payments, are denominated in United States Dollars (USD). Payments to the Partner will be processed in USD. The Partner is responsible for any currency conversion fees or fluctuations.
4.7. Commission on Plan Modifications: Commissions are subject to adjustment based on changes to a customer's subscription plan as follows:
- 4.7.1. Upgrades: If a partner-sourced customer upgrades to a higher-tier plan or adds additional seats/licenses during their contract term, the partner will receive a pro-rated commission for the incremental Net Revenue generated by the upgrade for the remainder of that term. No incremental commission will apply to QuickReviewer-sourced customers.
- 4.7.2. Downgrades: If a customer (partner-sourced or QuickReviewer-sourced) downgrades to a lower-tier plan or reduces seats/licenses mid-term or upon renewal, the commission will be recalculated based on the new Net Revenue and paid accordingly.
- 4.7.3. Cross-Plan Changes: If a partner-sourced customer on a Pro or Premium plan (as per 4.1.1.a) later converts to a customized enterprise plan, the Partner will be eligible for commissions on the new plan as per rates in 4.1.1, less any one-time commission already paid under 4.1.1.a.
4.8. Commission Clawback and Adjustments: If a Customer for whom a commission was paid receives a full or partial refund, credit, or chargeback for their subscription fee, QuickReviewer reserves the right to reclaim the corresponding commission amount (the “Clawback Amount”). The Clawback Amount is calculated based on the refunded sum. QuickReviewer may deduct this amount from future commission payments owed to the Partner. This applies even if the 60-day validation period has passed.
4.9. Annual Retention Bonus: If a Partner's sourced customer cohort achieves an annual renewal rate of ninety percent (90%) or higher by Net Revenue, that Partner will receive a one-time bonus commission of an additional two percent (2%) on all successful renewals within that qualifying cohort for that year. This bonus is calculated and paid annually.
4.10. Lifetime Commission Policy: “Lifetime” commission applies only if the customer maintains an active, uninterrupted paid subscription. If a customer cancels their subscription to move to a “Forever Free” plan and later restarts a new paid subscription (enterprise, pro, or premium), the lifetime commission structure from the original referral is voided. The restarted subscription will not be eligible for recurring lifetime commission under the original terms.
5. LEAD OWNERSHIP AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
5.1. Lead Attribution: A lead will be attributed to the first Partner who registers the lead through the Partner Portal, provided the lead is not already an existing customer or in an active sales cycle with QuickReviewer (“First-Touch Rule”). QuickReviewer’s system of record shall be the definitive source for determining lead attribution and timing.
5.2. Dispute Process: Should a Partner wish to dispute the attribution of a lead, the Partner must submit a written dispute to the QuickReviewer Partner Team within seven (7) business days of the lead registration or denial. The dispute must include detailed evidence supporting the Partner’s claim, such as time-stamped email correspondence or meeting records demonstrating prior substantive engagement.
5.3. Final Decision: QuickReviewer will review the submitted evidence and its own records. QuickReviewer’s decision on lead attribution disputes is final and binding. Failure to dispute within the specified timeframe will constitute acceptance of QuickReviewer’s initial attribution.
5.4. Lead Re-classification for Strategic Deals: On an exceptional basis, QuickReviewer may, in its sole discretion, re-classify a “QuickReviewer-Sourced Lead” to a “Partner-Sourced Lead” to enable a higher commission rate. This is reserved for cases where a Partner can provide compelling evidence of a significant, pre-existing relationship with the lead and demonstrates a high probability of closing an enterprise-level contract.
- Eligibility: This re-classification is strictly limited to leads who are either (a) unregistered accounts on QuickReviewer application and might be only in the inbound leads or sales target accounts or (b) registered users on a non-paying, “forever-free” plan.
- Exclusion: This exception will not be granted for any lead that is currently, or has ever been, a paying Customer of QuickReviewer.
- Process: The Partner must submit a formal request for re-classification to their Partner Manager before substantive engagement. The decision to grant this exception rests solely with QuickReviewer and is final.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1. Term: This Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Partner application and will continue for one year, automatically renewing for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party.

6.2.1. For any non-agreement breach, QuickReviewer will provide written notice to the Partner of the breach. If the Partner fails to cure the breach within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the notice, QuickReviewer may then terminate this Agreement immediately.
6.3. Effect of Termination: Upon termination, your rights to use our trademarks and promote our products will cease.

No commissions will be earned on purchases or renewals occurring after the termination date.
