Trade Referral Program Terms and Conditions

1) Definitions

Company: Aprils Form (the “Company”).
Partner: An approved trade customer (e.g., design studio, architect, developer, procurement firm) with an active trade account and a valid Trade ID.
Referred Business: A third-party business introduced by Partner. Consumer/homeowner referrals are not eligible.
Qualified Referral: A Referred Business first submitted by Partner through the Company’s referral form (or Partner account Referrals tab) with required fields and a valid Trade ID, and which was not already in Company systems or active pipeline.
Qualified Order: The first order placed by the Referred Business with net invoice value ≥ $10,000 USD (excludes taxes, shipping, refunds/credits), produced, delivered, and accepted.
Trade ID: The unique code Company issues to Partner and stores in the Partner’s account; it must be used for attribution and payout.

2) Eligibility & Enrollment

Program is B2B only. Partner must be approved for a trade account and remain in good standing.
Self-referrals, referrals of affiliates/subsidiaries Partner controls, and consumer/homeowner contacts are ineligible.
By submitting a referral or participating, Partner accepts these Terms.

3) Submitting Referrals

Submit via the Referrals tab in your account with: company name, website/domain, contact name/email, project type, budget (USD), and timeline.
Attribution rule: first valid submission by timestamp + domain check (primary key = business domain). If the domain/contact already exists in the CRM or is in active discussions, the referral is ineligible.
Referrals expire 12 months from submission if no Qualified Order occurs.

4) Commission & Calculation (USD)

5% on Qualified Orders under $50,000 USD net.
10% on Qualified Orders $50,000 USD and above net.
Commission applies once per Referred Business (first Qualified Order only), unless otherwise agreed in a signed addendum.
Net invoice value = line items minus discounts/credits; excludes taxes, shipping, financing fees, chargebacks, and after-invoice concessions.

5) Payout Timing & Method

Commissions become payable 30 calendar days after delivery and client acceptance of the Qualified Order.
Payouts are processed monthly (e.g., first business day of the month).
Minimum payout: $100 USD; smaller amounts roll forward.
Payment methods: ACH/wire or store credit, at Company’s discretion. Bank account name must match Partner’s legal entity. Partner must complete payout onboarding and provide all required tax and payment information as applicable in their jurisdiction (e.g., business number, tax residency declaration). For U.S. entities, this may include a W-9; for non-U.S. entities dealing with a U.S. entity, this may include a W-8 series form.

6) Clawbacks & Adjustments

If a Qualified Order is refunded, discounted, or revoked after payout, Company may net or claw back the corresponding commission in future payouts.
Company may offset amounts Partner owes to Company against commission payable.

7) Conduct & Compliance

Partner will only submit business contacts with a legitimate interest; no spamming or misrepresentation.
Partner must comply with applicable laws (including anti-spam, anti-corruption, and privacy laws such as CAN-SPAM, GDPR/UK-GDPR where applicable).
Pricing, proposals, drawings, and non-public information are confidential and may not be shared without Company approval.

8) Brand Use & Relationship

Partner is an independent contractor, not an agent, franchisee, employee, or representative of Company.
Do not make guarantees or commitments on Company’s behalf. Any promotional use of Company trademarks/materials requires prior written consent.

9) Duplicates, Disputes & Edge Cases

Duplicate checks are performed using domain/contact. Company’s records control attribution.
Disputes regarding referral ownership or commission must be raised within 10 business days of the payout statement; afterwards, approved adjustments occur in the next cycle.
Company may deem referrals ineligible due to channel conflicts (e.g., existing partner, distributor, or house account).

10) Taxes

Partner is responsible for all taxes arising from the commission. Company may issue year-end information returns as required by law.

11) Data Protection

Any personal data shared must be strictly business contact data necessary for evaluation and sales outreach.
Each party shall comply with applicable data protection laws. See Company’s Privacy Policy for details.

12) Term, Suspension & Termination

Company may modify, suspend, or terminate the Program or these Terms at any time.
Misuse, fraud, or breach (including confidentiality or compliance breaches) may result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

13) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company’s total liability relating to the Program will not exceed the total commissions paid or payable to Partner in the preceding 12 months. In no event will either party be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

14) Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement as to the Program; any waivers must be in writing.
If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
