01Partner appointment
These Partner Terms apply to every account given partner status, referral attribution, co-marketing access, promotional assets or a commercial partner benefit. Partner status is a limited, revocable permission; it creates no employment, franchise, joint venture, fiduciary duty, territorial exclusivity or authority to bind Ident.ink.
Only the account and legal person approved in writing may use the status. Access is non-transferable and may be re-verified at any time.
03Anti-bribery, sanctions and conflicts
Do not offer, request or accept a bribe, secret commission, facilitation payment or improper advantage in connection with Ident.ink. Do not use the relationship for sanctions evasion, money laundering or concealment of ownership. Promptly disclose an actual conflict that could affect a recommendation, procurement decision or customer introduction.
Ident.ink may perform proportionate identity, ownership, sanctions, adverse-risk and authority checks before granting access or paying compensation. A check may be repeated when risk or control changes. Failure to satisfy a required check may suspend the affected access or payment without creating entitlement to unearned commission.
04No misleading claims
- Do not promise guaranteed uptime, earnings, rankings, security, acceptance, features, pricing or results not stated in current official material.
- Do not present yourself as Ident.ink staff, support, an exclusive agent or an authorised reseller unless a signed agreement says so.
- Disclose the commercial relationship clearly and prominently wherever law or audience expectation requires it.
- Do not bid on Ident.ink marks, register confusing domains or accounts, or publish fake reviews and testimonials without prior written approval.
05Brand licence
During active approval, Ident.ink grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use supplied partner assets solely for approved promotion. Follow current brand instructions, do not alter a mark beyond supplied variants, and submit material for review when requested.
All goodwill belongs to the relevant owner. Stop use and remove assets promptly after notice or termination. No approval transfers ownership.
06Referrals and attribution
Referral credit exists only where the platform records an eligible referral through the approved link or mechanism before purchase. Cookie deletion, prior accounts, an existing sales relationship, self-referral, duplicate attribution, employee or household collusion, refunded payments and fraud may make a referral ineligible.
Do not obscure a link destination, inject attribution, overwrite another partner’s referral, use adware or browser extensions, pre-fill consent, or place cookies without a genuine user action and lawful notice. Ident.ink’s good-faith records control attribution, subject to correction of demonstrated error.
07Commission and payout
No commission is owed unless a current written offer states the rate and eligibility. Earnings accrue only on cleared, non-fraudulent, non-refunded subscription revenue actually received, net of taxes, processor fees, credits, chargebacks and reversals where the offer says so.
Payout requires successful Stripe Connect onboarding and the published threshold. We may hold a payout while risk, identity, refund or attribution is investigated. Invalid earnings may be reversed and offset. You are responsible for taxes and reporting on compensation.
08Marketing restrictions
- No unsolicited bulk email or messages, purchased lists, automated DMs, spam comments or contact that ignores an opt-out.
- No promotion on unlawful, hateful, exploitative, sexually explicit, deceptive, pirated or malware-related content.
- No coupons, prices, plan limits or screenshots that are expired or materially altered.
- No sub-partners, networks or paid introducers without prior written approval; you remain responsible for approved subcontractors.
09Data and confidentiality
Use personal data only for the lawful, disclosed partner purpose and only for as long as needed. Do not export, combine, sell or reuse leads supplied by Ident.ink. Apply appropriate access controls, incident response and deletion practices.
Non-public pricing, roadmaps, metrics, security information, customer data and commercial discussions are confidential. Use them only to perform the partnership and disclose them only to authorised people bound to protect them. Legally compelled disclosure requires advance notice where lawful.
10Records, audit and cooperation
Keep accurate promotion, consent, attribution and compliance records for at least the period required by applicable law and any written campaign rules. On reasonable notice, provide evidence needed to investigate a claim, regulator enquiry or suspected abuse. We may test public promotions and suspend tracking during an investigation.
11Protective directions and approval controls
Ident.ink may issue reasonable written directions about brand presentation, claims, customer communications, security, data handling, campaign placement and use of partner tools. A direction may require correction, removal, preservation of evidence, suspension of a campaign or confirmation that affected recipients were notified. The partner must comply within the stated reasonable period, or immediately where continued activity creates a credible legal, security, payment or consumer risk.
Ident.ink may require prior written approval for a new campaign, channel, subcontractor, integration, discount, public statement or use of confidential information. Approval may be limited, conditioned or withdrawn prospectively. Approval of one item does not approve a later variation and does not transfer the partner's legal responsibility.
12Certificates and verification codes
A partnership certificate or verification code confirms only the relationship, scope, suite and validity shown in the verification record. It is not a share certificate, regulated approval, credit reference, agency appointment or guarantee of performance. Do not alter, duplicate, transfer or continue displaying an expired or revoked certificate.
Ident.ink may revoke a certificate and remove its verification record after termination, fraud, error or material breach. A partner must remove affected public claims promptly. Historical audit evidence may remain where required to prove what was issued and why it ended.
13Partner platform access
Partner status does not unlock paid software by itself. The account receives only the exact suite or product grants recorded for it, for the stated term. Hosting and bot execution require their own explicit grant because those services consume separate infrastructure. Usage caps, security controls and the Terms of Use continue to apply. Partner status never grants administrator or staff permission.
14Credentials and technical boundaries
Keep partner credentials, OAuth tokens, referral controls and non-public links confidential, use least privilege, remove access promptly when personnel leave, and notify security@ident.ink without undue delay after suspected compromise.
Partner status never permits access to Ident.ink infrastructure, internal services, another tenant, confidential security controls or data outside the approved partner interface. No partner may test or circumvent technical controls under the guise of promotion, integration or due diligence without prior written authorisation.
15Partner enforcement and financial remedies
For suspected material breach, Ident.ink may freeze attribution, tracking, certificates, partner access, campaign approval and unpaid compensation while it conducts a proportionate investigation. It may preserve relevant records, notify an affected provider or authority where lawful, require corrective communication and remove or correct material hosted on Ident.ink-controlled services. These protective steps are not a finding of criminal or civil liability.
Commission generated by fraud, self-referral, unlawful marketing, misattribution, chargeback, refund, false identity, unauthorised subcontracting or another ineligible event is not earned. Ident.ink may cancel it, recover an overpayment and set an undisputed, agreed or finally determined amount against compensation otherwise payable where law permits. A disputed damages amount will not be charged automatically to a saved payment method.
A partner is responsible for reasonable, evidenced direct loss and third-party liability caused by its fraud, infringement, confidentiality breach, unlawful data use, unauthorised representation or deliberate material breach, subject to causation, mitigation, the liability clause and applicable law. Ident.ink may seek an injunction, delivery up, deletion, account of sums wrongly received or another remedy available from a competent court. There is no arbitrary contractual fine.
16Suspension and termination
Either party may end an open-ended partnership on written notice. Ident.ink may suspend the affected activity immediately where reasonably necessary to contain fraud, spam, a misleading claim, brand misuse, illegality, security risk, payment manipulation, confidentiality breach, a credible serious threat to customers or the brand, or failure to cooperate. It may terminate for a material breach that cannot be safely cured or is not cured within a reasonable written period.
On termination you must immediately stop representing the relationship, remove marks, certificates, verification codes and confidential material, disable partner integrations and cease new promotion. On request, confirm completion and return or securely delete protected information unless law requires retention. Valid cleared earnings accrued before termination may remain payable; earnings linked to breach, fraud or unqualified activity are not earned to the extent lawful.
Clauses concerning confidentiality, data, records, intellectual property, invalid earnings, recovery, liability, disputes and accrued rights survive termination. Termination of partner status does not cancel an unrelated customer subscription unless the applicable customer terms independently permit that action.
17Commercial responsibility
Each party remains responsible for its own conduct. To the maximum extent lawful, Ident.ink is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost commission, expected business or goodwill. Aggregate liability under the partnership is limited to partner compensation paid or payable in the twelve months before the event, except where law does not permit limitation.
You will defend and indemnify Ident.ink against third-party claims, regulatory penalties and reasonable evidenced costs caused by your unlawful promotion, misleading statement, privacy breach, infringement or material breach, except to the extent caused by Ident.ink. Ident.ink must give reasonable notice where practicable, allow reasonable participation in the defence, mitigate avoidable loss and may not agree an admission or non-monetary obligation for you without consent that is not unreasonably withheld.
18Changes and disputes
We may update these terms prospectively and will give reasonable notice of a material commercial change. Continued promotion after the effective date accepts the update; otherwise stop promotion and request termination.
The Terms of Service and Disputes and Arbitration Policy apply. A written partner order may set a specific governing law, arbitration seat or campaign term. If it does not, the business dispute rules in the Disputes and Arbitration Policy apply where lawful.
Partner access is a revocable commercial permission and never grants staff, administrator, hosting or bot entitlements unless expressly written.
