# Referral & Partner Program Terms

Effective Date: November 20, 2025 | Version 11.19

By participating in the ZaapIn Referral & Partner Program ("Program"), you ("Partner," "You") agree to the following terms and conditions as well as our [Terms of Use](https://zaapin.com/terms.html), [Privacy Policy](https://zaapin.com/privacy.html), [Refund Policy](https://zaapin.com/refund-policy.html), and [Sandbox Disclaimer](https://zaapin.com/sandbox-disclaimer.html). This program is exclusively designed for active ZaapIn SaaS users.

## 1. Eligibility & Participation

- **Active Status:** You must have an active, paid (or credit-funded) ZaapIn account to participate. Users on "Trial," "Suspended," or "Lapsed" status are ineligible.
- **SaaS Users Only:** This Program is for business users. Professional influencers and affiliate marketers must apply for a separate Affiliate Contract.
- **Partner Cancellation:** If you cancel your own ZaapIn subscription, you are immediately disqualified from the Program. Your wallet will be settled as per the "Inactive Rules" (See Section 5.2).

## 2. Geo-Fencing & Attribution

The Program operates on a strict geographic logic based on the billing country of both parties.

- **Same-Country Referrals (Automated):** If You and the Referee reside in the same country (e.g., India referring India), tracking and rewards are automated.
- **Cross-Border Referrals (Manual):** If You refer a user in a different country, automatic tracking does not apply. You must submit these via the "Global Partner Lead Form" in your dashboard.
- **Attribution:** Attribution is tracked via Referral Code auto-capture at signup. A **60-90 day cookie** is used as a secondary safety net.

## 3. Reward Structure (Domestic)

For same-country referrals, the program consists of three phases:

### Phase 1: New Business Credits (0–11 Referrals)

- **Referrer Reward:** Credit equal to **100% of the Referee's First Month Net Invoice**.
- **Referee Reward:** Credit equal to **100% of their own First Month Net Invoice**.
- Note: Credits are issued in the Referee's billing currency and exclude taxes.

### Phase 2: Partner Status (12 Lifetime Referrals)

Upon reaching 12 total referrals, you unlock the "Partner" Badge, Directory Listing, and Financial Dashboard.

### Phase 3: Recurring Income (12+ Active Referrals)

- **Requirement:** Maintain 12+ Active (Paying) Referrals.
- **Reward:** **10% Recurring Commission** on the Net Invoice Value of active referrals.
- **Payout:** Real Money (Withdrawable) or Credits.

### Annual Loyalty Bonus

Maintain Active Partner Status for 12 consecutive months to receive a lump-sum credit equal to **3 Months of your Current Plan Value**.

## 4. Cross-Border Rewards (Manual Leads)

For referrals across different countries, the following standardized finder's fees apply:

- **Small Deal (\< $1,000/yr):** One-time **$50 Credit** (converted to your local currency).
- **Enterprise Deal (> $1,000/yr):** One-time **15% Cash Payout** of the First Year Contract Value.
- **Tax Compliance:** Non-resident partners must sign a "No Permanent Establishment (PE)" declaration to receive gross payouts without local tax deduction.

## 5. Financial Mechanics & Payouts

### 5.1. Universal Wallet

Credits act as "ZaapIn Cash" and can be used for Base Plans, Upgrades, SMS Packs, and Add-ons. Our billing system consumes funds in this strict order: **1) Credits → 2) Brokerage Balance → 3) Payment Method.**

### 5.2. Operational Rules & Settlement

- **Vesting Period:** Commissions remain "Pending" for 30 days to cover the refund window.
- **60-Day Grace Period:** If you drop below 12 Active Referrals, you enter a 60-day recovery window where you continue to earn. You must restore your count by Day 60.

**Demotion & Auto-Sweep:** If you fail to recover, or if you cancel your own subscription, your status becomes "Inactive." Your wallet is immediately settled:

- Balance **\< $10 USD equivalent:** Auto-converted to Credits.
- Balance **> $10 USD equivalent:** Processed for final Cash Payout.

### 5.3. Cash Withdrawals & Taxes

- **Minimum Threshold:** ₹1,000 (India) or $50 (Global).
- **Taxes:** ZaapIn will deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) as per applicable laws (e.g., Section 194H/194J in India). Mandatory KYC (PAN/Tax ID) is required.

### 5.4. The Ecosystem Multiplier

You may convert Cash Commission to Wallet Credits with a bonus (+10% to +15%) based on your active referral count. This bonus is considered a taxable perquisite under Section 194R where applicable.

## 6. Fraud & Data Rights

- **Prohibited:** Self-referrals (matching PAN/IP/GSTIN) are strictly blocked. Bidding on ZaapIn branded keywords is prohibited.
- **Data Rights (GDPR):** If you exercise your "Right to be Forgotten" and request data deletion, your referral linkages and history will be permanently erased. **This action is irreversible** and results in the forfeiture of all future earnings and status.

**Acceptance:** By generating a referral link or submitting a lead, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
