Partner Programme Terms

(Affiliates and Referral Partners)

These Partner Programme Terms (the "Terms") govern your participation in the Perkstar referral and affiliate programme (the "Programme"). They are a binding agreement between Perkstar Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 16256732 and registered office at 86-90 Paul Street, 3rd Floor, London, EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom ("Perkstar", "we", "us"), and you, the individual or business participating in the Programme (the "Partner", "you").

By applying to, or participating in, the Programme — including by using a referral link, referral code, or otherwise introducing customers to Perkstar in exchange for commission — you agree to these Terms.

1. Definitions

"Customer" means a business that subscribes to a paid Perkstar plan.

"Referred Customer" means a Customer who signs up through your referral link or code, or who Perkstar otherwise attributes to you in accordance with clause 4, and who was not already a Customer, in active sales discussions with Perkstar, or a prior Perkstar account holder at the time of the referral.

"Commission" means the fee payable to you for a Referred Customer, as set out in your Partner Confirmation.

"Partner Confirmation" means the written confirmation (by email or partner portal) from Perkstar to you setting out your applicable Commission rate, structure, and any specific terms for your participation. The Partner Confirmation forms part of these Terms.

"Net Revenue" means the subscription fees actually received by Perkstar from a Referred Customer and retained by Perkstar after deduction of taxes, payment-processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, credits, and discounts.

2. The Programme

Perkstar appoints you as a non-exclusive Partner to promote Perkstar and introduce potential Customers, on these Terms. The appointment is non-exclusive: Perkstar may appoint other partners, run its own marketing, and sell directly, in any channel or territory, without restriction or any obligation to you.

Participation in the Programme does not create any employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and Perkstar. You are an independent contractor. You have no authority to bind Perkstar, to make representations or warranties on its behalf, to negotiate terms with a Customer, or to incur any liability for Perkstar.

3. Commission rate — agreed separately

Commission rates are not fixed in these Terms. The rate, structure, and duration of Commission vary depending on the Partner, the arrangement, and the time at which you join, and are set out in your Partner Confirmation.

If you do not yet have a Partner Confirmation, no Commission is payable until one is agreed in writing. To discuss commercial terms, contact partners@perkstar.co.uk. Perkstar is under no obligation to agree any particular rate, and a discussion or application does not entitle you to any Commission.

4. How referrals are attributed

A referral is attributed to you where the Customer signs up using your unique referral link or code, or where Perkstar otherwise determines, acting reasonably, that you were the effective cause of the introduction.

  • Attribution is subject to any tracking window stated in your Partner Confirmation. Where a Customer could be attributed to more than one Partner, Perkstar's records and reasonable judgement determine attribution, and its decision is final.

  • A referral does not qualify for Commission unless and until the Referred Customer becomes a paying Customer and Perkstar has received and retained cleared payment.

  • Self-referrals do not qualify. You may not earn Commission on your own account, an account you control, or an account of a business affiliated with you.

5. How and when Commission is paid

This clause is important; please read it carefully.

Commission is paid monthly. Commission accrues and is paid in monthly instalments for each month a Referred Customer remains a paying Customer and Perkstar has received and retained the corresponding Net Revenue, in accordance with your Partner Confirmation.

Annual subscriptions are still paid monthly. Where a Referred Customer pays for an annual (or other multi-month) subscription in advance, your Commission on that subscription is not paid as a single up-front lump sum. Instead it accrues and is paid in equal monthly instalments across the subscription period, conditional on the subscription remaining active and the corresponding Net Revenue remaining retained by Perkstar each month. This protects both parties: if a Customer cancels, refunds, or charges back early, neither of us is left out of pocket.

No Commission on amounts not retained. Commission accrues only on Net Revenue. If a payment is refunded, reversed, charged back, written off, or never clears, no Commission accrues on that amount, and any Commission already paid in respect of it may be deducted from future payments or, if no future payments are due, reclaimed by Perkstar as a debt.

Payment mechanics.

  • Commission is calculated and paid monthly in arrears, normally within 30 days of the end of each calendar month, for Commission that accrued and cleared in that month.

  • Perkstar may apply a minimum payout threshold (stated in your Partner Confirmation or the partner portal). Commission below the threshold rolls over to the next period until the threshold is met.

  • Commission is paid in GBP unless otherwise agreed. You are responsible for any currency-conversion or bank fees on your side.

  • Commission is exclusive of VAT. If you are VAT-registered, you must provide a valid VAT invoice and VAT will be added where properly chargeable. You are solely responsible for your own income tax, National Insurance, VAT, and any other taxes arising from your Commission, and you will indemnify Perkstar for any liability it incurs as a result of your failure to account for them.

  • You must keep your payment and contact details current. Perkstar is not liable for Commission delayed or lost due to incorrect details you have provided.

Clawback for fraud or breach. Perkstar may withhold, cancel, or reclaim any Commission connected with a referral that is fraudulent, made in breach of these Terms, or generated through prohibited conduct under clause 6.

6. Partner conduct

You must, at all times, promote Perkstar honestly, lawfully, and in a way that reflects well on the brand. You must:

  • comply with all applicable laws and codes, including consumer-protection law, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), data-protection law, and the UK CAP Code and CMA guidance on advertising;

  • clearly disclose that you have a paid or commercial relationship with Perkstar wherever you promote us (for example, "#ad", "affiliate", or an equivalent clear and prominent statement), as required by UK advertising rules;

  • only make claims about Perkstar that are accurate and that we have published or approved; and

  • keep your promotional methods truthful and not misleading.

You must not:

  • send unsolicited bulk email, SMS, or other spam, or otherwise breach PECR or anti-spam law;

  • bid on, or use, "Perkstar" or our trademarks (or close variants or typo-variants) in paid search advertising, domain names, or social handles, except as expressly permitted in your Partner Confirmation;

  • make misleading, exaggerated, or unauthorised claims about Perkstar, its features, pricing, or performance;

  • offer unauthorised rebates, cash incentives, or inducements to sign up, or generate referrals through deceptive means (including cookie stuffing, fake or incentivised sign-ups, or self-referral);

  • use the Programme to promote anything unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or that brings Perkstar into disrepute;

  • represent yourself as Perkstar, as an employee or official agent of Perkstar, or as authorised to negotiate or contract on Perkstar's behalf; or

  • register or attempt to register any Perkstar trademark, or anything confusingly similar, anywhere in the world.

Breach of this clause entitles Perkstar to suspend your participation, withhold or reclaim Commission, and terminate these Terms with immediate effect.

7. Use of Perkstar brand assets

Subject to these Terms, Perkstar grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Perkstar name, logo, and approved marketing materials solely to promote Perkstar under the Programme, and only in accordance with any brand guidelines we provide.

All goodwill arising from your use of the Perkstar brand accrues to Perkstar. You acquire no rights in the Perkstar brand. You must stop using all Perkstar brand assets on termination of these Terms or on our written request.

8. Term, suspension, and termination

These Terms start when you begin participating in the Programme and continue until terminated.

Either party may terminate for convenience on 30 days' written notice. Perkstar may suspend your participation, or terminate immediately on written notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably suspect fraudulent or prohibited activity, or if continuing the Programme with you would expose Perkstar to legal or reputational risk.

On termination:

  • you must stop promoting Perkstar and using all Perkstar brand assets;

  • subject to the clawback and conditions in clause 5, Perkstar will pay Commission that has properly accrued and cleared up to the termination date; and

  • unless your Partner Confirmation expressly states otherwise, no Commission accrues for any period after termination, including future instalments on annual subscriptions and any future renewals of Referred Customers.

Perkstar may discontinue or change the Programme (including Commission structures) at any time on reasonable notice; see clause 12.

9. Confidentiality

You may receive non-public information from Perkstar (including pricing, Customer information, and Programme data). You must keep it confidential, use it only to participate in the Programme, and not disclose it except where required by law. You must not contact, solicit, or use Referred Customer data for any purpose other than the introduction itself. This obligation survives termination for three years.

10. Data protection

Where you collect or handle personal data of prospective Customers in connection with the Programme, you act as an independent controller of that data and are responsible for your own compliance with data-protection law, including providing your own privacy notice and obtaining any necessary consents. Perkstar's handling of Customer and Cardholder data is governed by our Privacy Notice and Data Processing Agreement.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Programme is provided "as is". Perkstar does not guarantee any minimum number of referrals, any level of Commission, any conversion rate, or the continued availability of the Programme.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Perkstar is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, anticipated earnings, business, or goodwill. Perkstar's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of £500 or the total Commission paid to you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Perkstar, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your participation in the Programme; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your promotional activity or any claims you make about Perkstar; or (d) your breach of any applicable law or third-party right.

13. Changes to these Terms and the Programme

Perkstar may revise these Terms or change the Programme (including Commission structures, tracking, and thresholds) from time to time. Material changes will be notified by email or through the partner portal. Changes do not affect Commission that has already accrued and cleared before the change takes effect. Your continued participation after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop participating.

14. General

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Perkstar's prior written consent. Perkstar may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with your Partner Confirmation, are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Programme and supersede all prior discussions. Where there is a conflict, the Partner Confirmation prevails for commercial terms specific to you, and these Terms prevail for everything else.

Severability and waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.

Third parties. No one other than the parties has any right to enforce these Terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
