The terms, in full#
| Commission | 20% of net revenue |
| Duration | 12 months per referred customer |
| Attribution | Last click, 60-day window |
| Hold period | 30 days before a commission is payable |
| Minimum payout | ₹1,000 |
What "net revenue" means, and why it is not the sticker price#
A ₹2,999 Pro subscription does not put ₹2,999 in our account. The payment gateway keeps roughly 2% plus GST on its own fee — about ₹70.78. Commission is 20% of what actually arrives:
gross ₹2,999.00
gateway fee − ₹70.78
─────────────────────────────
net ₹2,928.22
your 20% ₹585.64
We use the real fee the gateway reports for that specific payment, not an assumption, so a discounted or prorated charge earns exactly 20% of whatever it truly netted. Where the gateway has not yet reported a fee, an estimate is used and the commission is marked as estimated rather than quietly presented as measured.
Paying 20% of the sticker price would mean paying 20.48% of the money we received. We would rather state the smaller number honestly than the larger one misleadingly.
Rs 585.64 per month, per Pro customer, for twelve months is ₹7,027 from one referral. A Team subscription at ₹24,999 earns ₹4,881.80 a month — ₹58,581 over the year.
When you get paid#
A commission is pending for 30 days. That is the refund window: if the customer refunds or cancels in that time, the commission is reversed, because the money was never really ours to share. After 30 days it becomes approved, and approved balances over ₹1,000 are paid out.
Your console shows pending and approved as separate figures on purpose. Showing one combined "balance" would be friendlier and less honest — pending money can still go down.
The rules#
- No self-referral. Signing up through your own link earns nothing.
- First claim wins. A customer is attributed to one affiliate, permanently. A later link does not reassign someone who already signed up.
- Existing customers cannot be claimed. Attribution only happens for an account created through your link.
- No bidding on our brand in paid search, no impersonating the product, no unsolicited bulk email. Codes that look official are reserved.
- Rates are frozen when a customer is attributed, so a change to the programme never reprices referrals you have already earned.
We can pause an account for abuse. We will tell you why.
Tax#
You are responsible for your own tax on what you earn. We are not withholding anything, and a commission is not a salary.
