Terms & Conditions

MARIANA TEK REFERRAL PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. The Program and these Terms

1.1 We are Mariana Tek Corporation (MT or we). Through our referral program (the Program) we offer our existing clients and affiliate partners (Referrers or you) the chance to earn referral fees (Referral Fees) in exchange for referring potential new clients (Potential Clients) to us, where those new clients go on to become subscribers to our services (Services).
1.2 This page sets out the terms and conditions (Terms) which apply to your participation in the Program. Please read these Terms carefully. By clicking to accept these Terms, and by subsequently participating in the Program, you indicate that you accept these Terms and that you agree to abide by them. We may amend these Terms at any time. Where we do so, we will make the updated version available to you on the homepage of your Portal (as defined in section 3.1 below). You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms. Continued participation in the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. No other terms or conditions shall apply to your participation in the Program.

2. Eligibility

2.1 In order to participate in the Program, you must create and maintain an account with us through our Program homepage.
2.2 Employees of MT or their subsidiaries, affiliates or promotional agencies, including immediate family and household members, are not eligible to participate in the Program.

3. Referral Process

3.1 Upon signing up for the Program, you will be given access to a custom website portal (Portal) which will include links for you to make available to Potential Clients via social media, email or by sharing a hyperlink (each a Referral Link). These Referral Links will enable Potential Clients to apply to subscribe for the Services.
3.2 Where a Potential Client goes on to apply to subscribe for the Services having clicked through a Referral Link, MT may (acting in its sole discretion) accept the Potential Client as a subscriber to the Services. If a Potential Client is accepted by MT as a subscriber to the Services and subsequently becomes a paying subscriber of MT in respect of the provision of those Services, they will become a Referred Client.  
3.3 You will be able to review the status of any Potential Clients to whom you have provided a Referral Link and any applicable or pending Referral Fees via the Portal.
3.4 For the avoidance of doubt:
3.4.1 it shall be MT's responsibility, not the Referrer's, to arrange any meetings with Potential Clients, to carry out any demonstrations of the Services and to negotiate with Potential Clients in respect of the Services. You must not make or enter into any contracts or commitments or incur any liability for or on behalf of MT, or negotiate any terms with Potential Clients; and
3.4.2 MT shall retain complete and sole discretion as to whether to accept a Potential Client and shall not be under any obligation to accept any Potential Client who has accessed a Referral Link.
3.5 Where you provide a Potential Client with a Referral Link, and that Potential Client then introduces a third party (or another team or group company within its organisation) to MT, who goes on to become a client of MT, that third party shall not constitute a Referred Client for whom Referral Fees are payable.

4. Referral Fees

4.1 Subject to clause 4.6, we will pay you Referral Fees for each Referred Client that becomes a paying MT customer for at least 90 days as set out below. The Referral Fees payable in respect of Referred Clients will be as set out in the dashboard of the Portal. 
4.2 Once a Referred Client has completed a demonstration with a Mariana Tek Account Executive, we will take steps to verify the Referral Fees payable. Verification of Referral Fees is at our discretion and our decision as to whether or not Referral Fees are payable (and at what level) is final and binding. Referral Fees will generally be paid within 60 days of verification.
4.3 Once a Referred Client has been accepted as a subscriber for the Services, agreed our terms of service and been a paying MT customer for at least 90 days, we will take steps to verify the Referral Fees payable. Verification of Referral Fees is at our discretion and our decision as to whether or not Referral Fees are payable (and at what level) is final and binding. Referral Fees will generally be paid within 60 days of verification.
4.4 How we will pay you the Referral Fees will depend on whether you have a current MT account:
4.4.1 If you have a current MT account, we will credit your account with the applicable amount for the Referral Fees.
4.4.2 If you do not have a current MT account, we will pay your Referral Fees via PayPal. You will have to provide us with your PayPal details in order for us to do so.
4.5 If the Referral Fees payable to you exceed USD $599 in aggregate in any one calendar year, you will have to fill out a W9 Form. Where this is the case, we will contact you ahead of making payment in order for you to take the necessary steps. In this case, we will generally pay your Referral Fees within 60 days of receiving your signed W9 Form.
4.6 Referral Fees will only be payable where:
4.6.1 the Referred Client did not have an existing relationship (including having been in or being in discussions for Services) with MT or any member of its corporate group; and
4.6.2 MT has not received a referral from a third party in respect of the same Referred Client in the 12 months prior to the Referred Client accessing the Services via a Referral Link.
