The TOD-OPS referral programme lets an existing paying customer (a "referrer") earn rewards for introducing new businesses that become paying TOD-OPS customers. Participation is free and optional, and is open only to accounts in good standing (active subscription, no overdue balance). These terms supplement the Terms of Service; where they conflict, the Terms of Service prevail.
Each account is given a unique referral link. A referral is attributed to you when a new business signs up through your link (the link stores your code for 30 days) or otherwise identifies you as the referrer at sign-up. A referral must be a genuine, new, independent business.
You earn a one-off reward of £10 for each referral that becomes a paying customer. A referral qualifies once the referred business holds an active, paid subscription (its free trial alone does not qualify). The reward is confirmed and becomes payable once the referred business has held a paid subscription for three months; until then it is shown as pending and nothing is owed.
Referrers who maintain enough active referrals (referred accounts that are currently paying customers) unlock a recurring monthly commission, calculated as a percentage of each active referral's plan price for as long as that referral remains a paying customer:
Your tier is re-assessed each month from your current active-referral count. Commission on any individual referral begins only once that referral has held a paid subscription for three months — the same confirmation period as the one-off reward. If a referral cancels, lapses, or stops paying, it no longer counts as active: your count — and therefore your tier and commission — can go down as well as up. Commission accrues only for months in which both you and the referred account are active, paying customers.
When a business you referred goes on to refer others, you earn a second-level commission of 5% of each of those subscriptions monthly, in addition to any tier commission of your own. Every referrer earns this — there is no tier minimum. It follows the same timeline as everything else in this programme: each second-level referral must have held a paid subscription for three months before anything accrues, and nothing accrues for any month in which that business is not an active, paying customer. Second-level earnings are reported to you as counts and amounts only: the identity of those businesses belongs to the person who referred them, and is never disclosed to you.
Referrers who actively sell TOD-OPS may join the Affiliate programme from within the app. Affiliates must hold and keep an active paid TOD-OPS subscription of their own. Joining provisions a separate demo account — a clearly fictitious business, provided free of charge solely for demonstrating TOD-OPS to prospects. The demo account must not be used to run a real business, carries no service commitments, and may be reset or withdrawn by us at any time. You accept these terms as the Affiliate Agreement within the app when you join; the date, the person accepting, and the version of these terms accepted are recorded against your account.
Confirmed rewards and commission are paid either as account credit (applied automatically against your TOD-OPS bill) or as cash by bank transfer, according to the payout method you choose in the app. Cash payouts are subject to a minimum balance of £50; a balance below that rolls forward to the next payout run (account credit has no minimum). Confirmed rewards are paid monthly in arrears and settled within 30 days of the end of the calendar month in which they were confirmed. You are responsible for any income tax, VAT, or other liability arising on rewards you receive; all rewards and commission are stated and paid gross, inclusive of any applicable VAT — the amount paid is the full amount payable, we do not operate self-billing, and no separate VAT invoice is required from you. If you are VAT-registered you are responsible for accounting to HMRC for any VAT due on amounts you receive. Rewards have no cash-equivalent guarantee beyond what is stated here and cannot be exchanged for anything else.
A referral does not qualify and any related reward or commission may be withheld, voided, or reclaimed (including by deducting it from future payouts or your account) where: you refer your own account or another account you own or control ("self-referral"); the referred business was already a TOD-OPS customer or already in an active sales process with us; the sign-up is not genuine, is duplicated, or is obtained through spam, misleading claims, unauthorised advertising, trademark bidding, or other prohibited promotion; the referred subscription is cancelled, refunded, charged back, or found to be fraudulent; or the programme is otherwise abused. We may withhold payment while we investigate suspected abuse.
You may share your referral link honestly and must not imply you are TOD-OPS or Type on Data, make claims about the product we have not authorised, use paid search on our brand names, or send unsolicited bulk messages (spam). You must comply with all applicable law, including UK data-protection and marketing rules (UK GDPR and PECR), when contacting people about TOD-OPS.
We may change the reward amount, tier thresholds, commission rates, payout methods, or these terms, and may suspend or end the programme, at any time. Changes are not retrospective for commission already accrued and confirmed. We may remove you from the programme, with or without notice, if you breach these terms or the Terms of Service. If your own subscription ends, your participation and any right to future rewards or commission end with it.
Rewards and commission payable by us to you under these terms are stated and paid gross, inclusive of any applicable VAT, as set out in clause 7: the amount shown is the full amount payable and nothing is added to it. Subscription fees payable by you to us are separate and are exclusive of VAT, which is charged in addition where applicable (see the Terms of Service). You remain responsible for your own tax affairs, including any income tax, corporation tax, or VAT arising on amounts you receive under this programme.
