Terms

The short version of how Referral Market works and what each side agrees to.

What Referral Market is

Referral Market is a place where a business posts what it will pay for a referred customer, and a connector who sends that customer is paid the fee once the business confirms the referral.

Referral Market is not a party to the sale between a business and its customer, and does not employ connectors.

Your local laws

Check your local laws and regulations before you pay or accept a referral fee. Rules differ by state, by city and by industry, and some licensed fields limit or forbid referral fees. Your employer or the platform you work through may have rules of its own.

You are responsible for following the rules that apply to you. Referral Market does not give legal advice and does not promise that a listing is lawful where you are.

Businesses

You set the fee and the terms of each listing, and you may change or pause a listing at any time. A pass keeps the terms it was created with.

You confirm a referral only when the customer did what the listing asks, and you decline it with the true reason when they did not. Once you confirm, you owe the fee. An answer cannot be changed afterwards.

You are responsible for what the people on your staff list do in your name.

Connectors

The customer chooses where to go. You recommend a business only when it suits what the customer asked for, and you never pressure or mislead them.

If a customer asks, you tell them that you may be paid for the referral. You create a pass only for a real customer, and never for yourself or for a business you own or work at.

Fees and payment

Listing a business and joining as a connector are free.

At the end of each week a business is billed for the referrals it confirmed that week: the referral fees, plus a service fee to Referral Market. The business is told the rate of the service fee before its first bill.

Confirmed fees are paid to connectors at the end of each week, once the business has paid. Payment is arranged by email. You are responsible for any tax on what you earn.

Accounts

Each business and connector is reviewed before its account opens. We may decline an application, remove a listing, or close an account that breaks these terms or that we believe is being used dishonestly. Records of passes already created are kept.

You may ask us to delete your account at any time. The privacy page says what is removed and what is kept.

No guarantees

The site is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will bring a business customers or a connector income, or that it will always be available.

To the extent the law allows, Referral Market is not liable for losses that arise from a dispute between a business, a connector and a customer, or from the conduct of any of them.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, the new version is posted here with its date. Questions go to referralmarket.site@gmail.com.
