1. PROGRAM TERM

The Lead Referral Program may be canceled by Global Shop Solutions at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.

2. COMMISSIONS

Referrer shall receive commission on all software purchased by Approved Leads (as defined in paragraph 5). The commission percentage or flat fee amount shall be sent out in a separate written agreement. Effective November 1, 2018, the terms of this referral program changed. If you do not have a written agreement dated after November 1, 2018, please contact your Global Shop Solutions representative. If paid as a percentage of the sale, the commission amount will be determined by the gross amount of the software sale less all costs related to third-party software. In the event the purchase includes any non-commissionable items lumped into the software price, such items will be separated for accounting purposes and commission paid only on the software portion.

No commission will be payable for custom software, software retainer (support and upgrade fees), consulting, training, installation, hardware or third-party software.

All commissions due under this Terms and Conditions shall be paid within 21 days following receipt of the down payment from the Approved Lead. If non-standard terms are given to the customer, all commissions due will be paid within 21 days following receipt of 40% of the total purchase price. Any returns shall be handled on a case-by-case basis and will require the agreement of both parties. Any refunds will be made in proportion to the amount received by each party.

All sales leads must be submitted over the Internet at the following link: https://www.globalshopsolutions.com/refer. Global Shop Solutions will then review the lead to determine whether or not they have identified the company already as a prospect. If they have, the lead will be rejected. Otherwise, the lead will be approved by a Global Shop Solutions representative and Referrer will be notified. Global Shop Solutions retains exclusive and final authority to determine whether a lead is approved.

All Approved Leads will be valid for a period of one year. If no sale has resulted from an Approved Lead after one year, it will no longer be considered an Approved Lead and no commission will be due referrer.
