    10. PARTNERSHIP TYPES

Partners are defined as “Affiliate” and “Sales” Partners. They are defined by the manner in which they refer a customer to Current Commerce, therefore a Partner can be considered both an “Affiliate” or “Sales” Partner if they have referred customers in both manners as outlined below.

10.1 “Affiliate” Referrals

Affiliate referrals are those in which the Current Commerce Partner has promoted the Current Commerce brand or service to an audience in hopes of driving that audience to Current Commerce’s website or other lead generation asset. Current Commerce’s affiliate system tracks these referrals for 60 days to give referral credit to the affiliate. Current Commerce affiliate tracking is not guaranteed 100% accurate and defensible to error or issue. Current Commerce representatives will also make a best effort to determine lead sources from inbound phone calls in which the affiliate system does not track.

10.2 “Sales” Referral

Sales referrals are those in which a customer is introduced to Current Commerce through an email or phone call initiated by the Current Commerce Partner. Customers that are purchasing services via the Current Commerce Partner in which Current Commerce is acting more formally as a service provider partner are also considered “Sales” referrals.

10.3 Sales Partner Status

In order to be considered as an active “Sales Partner” you must have provided a “Sales” referral within the last 180 calendar days. Partner accounts that have not provided a “Sales” referral in the last 180 calendar days will be considered “inactive”. Inactive accounts will not be eligible for additional commissions made by previous “Sales” referrals on any new purchases that are initiated by Current Commerce and closed during the inactive period. Purchases that are initiated by the Current Commerce Partner should be treated as a new “Sales” referral.

Existing customer commissions that were originally referred via an “Affiliate” referral are not subject to “sales” partner status and are held to their own eligibility window noted below.

10.4 Affiliate Referral Commission Eligibility

Affiliate Referrals are only considered eligible if they meet the following three criterion i) They were identified as a referral using the Current Commerce referral management system or by a Current Commerce representative over the phone or in person ii) Current Commerce has not had any contact over email with the referral in the last 180 calendar days. iii) They are not currently considered a referral of any type from another partner.

Partners are eligible for commission on any additional services initiated and closed by the Current Commerce team from affiliate referrals sold for up to 365 calendar days after the first payment made to Current Commerce by the customer.
