Partner Program Terms

1. Overview

The ScentGraph Partner Program ("the Program") is operated by ScentGraph Digital Pty Ltd (ACN 696 194 564, ABN 26 696 194 564), a company registered in Western Australia ("we", "us", "ScentGraph").

The Program allows approved partners ("Partners", "you") to earn commission by referring new paying subscribers to ScentGraph Pro. By applying to or participating in the Program, you agree to these Partner Program Terms ("Partner Terms").

These Partner Terms supplement the general Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict, these Partner Terms take precedence for Program-related matters.

2. Eligibility and Approval

Anyone may apply to the Program. Acceptance is at our sole discretion. We evaluate applications based on audience relevance, content quality, and alignment with ScentGraph values.

We reserve the right to reject any application without providing a reason. Rejected applicants may reapply after 90 days.

By applying, you represent that:

• All information in your application is accurate and complete
• You have the legal authority to enter into these terms
• Your content and audience are genuine and not artificially inflated
• You comply with all applicable laws and advertising regulations in your jurisdiction

3. Commission Structure

3.1 Commission rate

Partners earn commission on qualifying subscriptions referred through their unique partner link. The commission rate is 20% of net revenue received by ScentGraph, unless a different rate has been agreed in writing.

3.2 Net revenue defined

Net revenue means the gross subscription payment minus all payment processing fees, platform charges, and applicable transaction costs. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Apple App Store commission (currently 30% in year 1, 15% thereafter)
• Google Play Store commission (currently 15%)
• Stripe processing fees (currently 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)
• Any other payment processor fees, currency conversion charges, or platform levies

For example: on a $9.99/month subscription purchased through the Apple App Store in year 1, net revenue is approximately $6.99. At 20%, the partner commission would be approximately $1.40.

3.3 Qualifying subscriptions

Commission is earned on monthly and annual Pro subscriptions only. The following are excluded:

• Weekly subscriptions
• Free trials (commission is earned only when the trial converts to a paid subscription)
• Self-referrals (subscriptions purchased by the Partner or their immediate household)
• Subscriptions obtained through misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent means
• Chargebacks, refunds, or disputed transactions

3.4 Recurring commission

Commission is recurring for the duration of the referred subscriber's active, paid subscription, subject to the attribution window described in Section 4.

4. Attribution and Cookie Window

4.1 Attribution model

We use a last-click, first-subscription attribution model. The Partner whose referral link was most recently clicked before the user's first paid subscription is credited with the referral.

4.2 Cookie window

The referral cookie has a 30-day expiry from the last click. If a user clicks your link but does not subscribe within 30 days, the attribution expires.

4.3 Attribution window

Once a referred user subscribes, the Partner earns recurring commission for 12 months from the date of first subscription. If the user cancels and resubscribes within this 12-month window, the Partner continues to earn commission on the resubscription.

After the 12-month attribution window expires, any subsequent subscription activity by that user (including resubscriptions) is not subject to partner commission.

4.4 One partner per user

Each user can only be attributed to one Partner. Once a referral is recorded, it cannot be reassigned to another Partner.

5. Partner Tiers

The Program includes three tiers with different commission rates:

• Partner: Available to all approved applicants. 20% commission on net revenue.
• Ambassador: Available to Partners with 50 or more active referred subscribers. 25% commission on net revenue.
• Founding Partner: Available to the first 10 approved Partners. 25% commission on net revenue, locked for the duration of their participation in the Program.

Tier promotion is automatic when the qualifying threshold is met. We reserve the right to modify tier thresholds and commission rates with 30 days written notice, except for Founding Partner rates which are locked as described above.

6. Payouts

6.1 Payout schedule

Commissions are calculated monthly and paid on or around the 1st of the following month (Net 30). For example, commissions earned in March are paid in April.

6.2 Minimum threshold

The minimum payout threshold is $50 USD. If your balance is below this threshold, it carries forward to the next month. There is no expiry on accumulated balances.

6.3 Payout method

Payouts are made via electronic transfer. We will request your preferred payout details upon approval. We reserve the right to change payout methods with 30 days notice.

6.4 Currency

All commissions are calculated and paid in US Dollars (USD). Currency conversion costs, if any, are the Partner's responsibility.

6.5 Taxes

Partners are responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes on their commission earnings. We may request tax documentation (such as a W-9, W-8BEN, or equivalent) before processing payouts. We will issue tax reporting documentation where legally required.

7. Partner Obligations

As a Partner, you agree to:

• Clearly disclose your affiliate relationship with ScentGraph in compliance with FTC guidelines, ASA regulations, and any other applicable advertising standards in your jurisdiction
• Not make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about ScentGraph, its features, or the Partner Program
• Not use spam, unsolicited messages, or deceptive advertising to drive referrals
• Not bid on ScentGraph brand terms (including "ScentGraph", "Scent Graph", or variations) in paid search advertising without our written permission
• Not create fake accounts, use bots, or employ incentivised sign-up schemes to inflate referral numbers
• Not engage in cookie stuffing, click fraud, or other manipulative practices
• Use ScentGraph brand assets only as provided and in accordance with our brand guidelines
• Maintain content and conduct that is consistent with ScentGraph values and does not bring the brand into disrepute

8. Pro Access

Approved Partners receive complimentary ScentGraph Pro access for the duration of their active participation in the Program. This access is non-transferable and will be revoked if you leave or are removed from the Program.

Pro access granted under the Program does not generate commission (it is not a self-referral).

9. Interaction with User Referral Program

ScentGraph also operates a user referral program that rewards users with free Pro days for referring friends. The Partner Program and user referral program are separate systems.

A referral attributed to a Partner does not also trigger the user referral reward. There is no double-dipping between the two programs.

10. Termination

10.1 Voluntary termination

Either party may terminate participation in the Program with 30 days written notice. All commissions earned through the termination date will be paid in the next scheduled payout cycle, provided the minimum payout threshold is met.

10.2 Termination for cause

We may immediately terminate your participation and void any unpaid commissions if we determine, in our reasonable judgement, that you have:

• Engaged in fraud, deception, or manipulation of the Program
• Violated these Partner Terms or the general Terms of Service
• Engaged in conduct that brings ScentGraph into disrepute
• Provided materially false information in your application

10.3 Effect of termination

Upon termination, your referral link will be deactivated, Pro access will be revoked, and no further commissions will accrue. Earned but unpaid commissions (above the minimum threshold) will be paid in the final payout cycle unless voided for cause under Section 10.2.

11. Program Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Partner Terms, commission rates, tier thresholds, payout schedules, and any other aspect of the Program with 30 days written notice to the email address associated with your Partner account.

Continued participation in the Program after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not agree to the modifications, you may terminate your participation per Section 10.1.

Exception: Founding Partner commission rates (25% of net revenue) are locked for the duration of the Founding Partner's continuous participation in the Program and cannot be reduced unilaterally.

12. Sale, Acquisition, or Cessation

12.1 Sale or acquisition

In the event of an acquisition, merger, or asset sale involving ScentGraph, these Partner Terms may be assigned to the successor entity. The successor entity may modify or terminate the Program with 30 days notice.

12.2 Cessation of operations

If ScentGraph ceases operations, all earned but unpaid commissions will be paid within 60 days of cessation, subject to available funds and in priority behind employee wages and statutory obligations.

13. Limitation of Liability

The Program is provided "as is." We do not guarantee any level of earnings, referral conversions, or continued availability of the Program.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScentGraph Digital Pty Ltd's total liability to any Partner under or in connection with the Program is limited to the total commissions paid to that Partner in the 12 months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your participation in the Program.

14. Confidentiality

Partners may receive access to non-public information about ScentGraph, including but not limited to upcoming features, conversion data, and internal communications. You agree to keep such information confidential and not disclose it to third parties without our written permission.

Your own commission earnings and referral statistics are not considered confidential and you may share them publicly.

15. Independent Contractor

Partners are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or representatives of ScentGraph Digital Pty Ltd. Nothing in these Partner Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.

You are responsible for your own equipment, expenses, insurance, and tax obligations.

16. Governing Law

These Partner Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia.
