2. Referral Fees 

2.1. Payment of Fees 

  1. Upon acceptance into the Partner Program, You will be assigned one unique Partner code that You will use to advertise Sofia Health. When another person (a “Prospect”) signs up with that code, your information will be associated with that account. When the Prospect creates a Sofia Health paid Business account by using Your Partner code, Sofia Health registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.”
  2. Subject to Partner’s compliance with this Agreement, You will be entitled to a referral fee for each Sold Account that generates a payment to Sofia Health monthly. The referral fee amount is 30% of all fees received by Sofia Health for a Sold Account beyond the free trial (the “Referral Fees”). Payments of any Referral Fees will be made on the 5th of each month following Sofia Health’s receipt of such payments.
  3. Referral Fees are paid only for transactions that actually occur between Sofia Health and a Prospect. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale is not actually received by Sofia Health, You will not be paid a Referral Fee on the transaction. If a referral does not link or attach to Your Partner account within 30 days from such referral’s subscribing to Sofia Health’s services, such referral will not be deemed Your Sold Account, and You will not be entitled to any Referral Fees from such referral. In order for an account to be linked to your Partner account, a referral must either use your affiliate code directly during initial sign-up or reach out to partners@sofiahealth.com within those first 30 days requesting to be linked. If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a Referral Fee was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then the applicable Referral Fee will be deducted from any future Referral Fees. If Sofia Health determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, in addition to Sofia Health’s rights under Section 3.1, no Referral Fees will be paid to You for such Sale, or if such violation or fraud is discovered by Sofia Health after payment, such amounts shall be deducted from any future Referral Fees. A referral may request at any time to be removed from Your Partner Account, and upon such request, You will no longer be entitled to receive any Referral Fees for such referral.
  4. No Referral Fees will be paid on any Sold Account that is an affiliated business of the applicable Partner.
  5. Prospects that are referred to Sofia Health through a customer account that is not a participant in the Partner Program will receive an email notification from Sofia Health inviting them to join the Partner Program. Referral Fees from such referrals will be paid if the customer joins the Partner Program within two (2) months of such notification. If the customer does not join the Partner Program within such two (2) month period, such Referral Fees will be forfeited even if such customer later joins the Partner Program.

2.2. Partner Representations; Taxes 

  1. Partner hereby represents and warrants to Company that You are engaged in an independent business enterprise and that You have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate Partner’s business, if any, such as licensing, tax, and other business operation requirements.
  2. You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including without limitation income tax liabilities, that arise from or in any way relate to any Referral Fees You receive from Sofia Health. If You are not a resident of the United States, Sofia Health may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required to by applicable law. Where Sofia Health is required to withhold tax, Sofia Health will document such withholding.

2.3. Inventory Loading/Rebates 

Partner will not be paid any Referral Fees for payments made on Your own User Account(s). Partner is not permitted to open a Sofia Health account under the name of another person or entity, or under a fictitious name. Partner is not permitted to open a Sofia Health account under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Referral Fees or any other compensation, including without limitation incentives or prizes that may be offered from time to time. Partner may not pay for another person’s account. Partner is not permitted to refer itself or any affiliated business. Partner is not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to actual or potential Sales. Violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and You agree to repay to Sofia Health all Referral Fees earned as a result of any such violation.

3. Termination 

3.1. Termination 

  1. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon notice to another Party.
  2. Fraudulent or other unacceptable behavior by Partner, including breach of this Agreement or any Sofia Health Policies, as determined by Sofia Health in its sole discretion, may result in one or more of the following actions being taken by Sofia Health: (a) termination of Your affiliation with Sofia Health in its entirety and termination of all services provided to You; (b) suspension of some or all of Your privileges under the Partner Program; and/or (c) termination of Your Partner account entirely without notice to, or recourse for, You, in which case You shall forfeit all Referral Fees owed to You, either as of the date of termination or thereafter accruing.
  3. At any time that your Sofia Health customer account is cancelled or suspended by either Party, Partner’s participation in the Partner Program shall be automatically terminated and Partner shall no longer be entitled to any further Referral Fees. If Partner later activates a Sofia Health customer account, Partner will be entitled to apply for participation in the Partner Program and to earn Referral Fees on any new Sold Accounts. For the purpose of clarity, Partner will forfeit all Referral Fees from its Sold Accounts prior to such termination.
