Overview:
The DirectLync Referral Program (the "Program") was developed to financially compensate DirectLync referral partners (each a "Referral Partner"). A Referral Partner will be eligible to earn a commission when a deal they send to DirectLync closes and as otherwise described in this agreement (the "Agreement").
Payment & Payment Distributions:
The following section outlines the amount and timing of commission payments to Referral Partners.
- A seven percent (7%) commission will be paid on all payments actually received by DirectLync from a new client referred by a Referral Partner (each a "Referred Account") from the date of the first such payment actually received by DirectLync until the first anniversary of such first payment date.
- Commission payments are made to Referral Partners on a quarterly basis.
- All payments received by DirectLync from a Referred Account will be paid at the end of each fiscal quarter.
How to Submit a Referral:
Prior to making any referrals under this Agreement, Referral Partners must first complete and submit the Referral Partner Application Form that is located at: www.directlync.com/referral.
Referral Partner Application Form is required to be filed and approved by DirectLync, whether a Referral Partner initially contacts a representative of DirectLync in person or by email about a potential new Referred Account. Once a Referral Partner Application Form has been approved by DirectLync, then the Referral Partner may submit referrals using a DirectLync referral sheet (each a "Qualified Referral Sheet" or "QRS"). Referral Sheets are how DirectLync tracks which referrals or leads were submitted by which Referral Partner and when referrals or leads were originally submitted to DirectLync.
If the same referral or lead is submitted by two (2) or more different Referral Partners, the Referral Partner that submitted its Qualified Referral Sheet to DirectLync first in time will receive credit for the Referred Account.
Any referral or lead submitted on a QRS must close within ninety (90) days of the date that the QRS was submitted to DirectLync for the Referral Partner to be eligible to receive a commission for the Referred Account. If the referral or lead does not close within such ninety (90) day period, the Referral Partner is not eligible to receive a commission for the Referred Account.
