Partner Agreement

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding agreement. We accept partners from most countries; payouts are limited to those PayPal supports for receiving funds.

Default: 20% of every paying referred vendor's subscription, for 12 months from their first paid invoice. Per-partner overrides may be negotiated and shown in your dashboard.

Commission is calculated on the gross invoice amount paid to VendBuddy (excluding taxes and fees).

We use a 60-day cookie window with last-click attribution. A click-then-signup must occur within 60 days of the most recent click for credit. We do not pay for self-referrals (signups using the partner's own email or accounts the partner controls).

Each commission is held in "pending" status for 30 days after the underlying payment. If the referred vendor cancels or charges back during that window, the commission is reversed. Already-paid commissions clawed back via chargeback may be deducted from future payouts.

Payouts run monthly on the 1st for partners with a balance above their minimum payout threshold (default $50). Payment goes to the email or handle on file. We don't cover transfer fees imposed by your bank or PayPal.

US partners earning $600 or more in a calendar year must provide a W-9 before payouts continue past that threshold. International partners may be required to provide a W-8BEN.

You may not:

• Bid on the "VendBuddy" brand name or close variants in paid search
• Spam, mass-DM, or use deceptive pop-ups or fake content
• Offer cash kickbacks, rebates, or other incentives to anyone for clicking your link
• Misrepresent the product, pricing, terms, or your relationship with VendBuddy
• Use VendBuddy trademarks beyond what's in the marketing kit, or in ways that imply endorsement

You're responsible for any taxes on payouts you receive. We'll issue 1099 forms to US partners who reach the IRS reporting threshold.

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this agreement, including forfeiture of pending commissions. Approved-and-cleared commissions earned before termination are paid in the next cycle.

We may update this agreement; the version above tracks the most recent change. Material changes will be announced by email and may require re-acceptance before continued use.
