Trainerize Referral Program Agreement

 

This Referral Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a binding agreement between TSR Gym Technik Ltd. d/b/a Trainerize (“Trainerize” or the “Company”) and you, the individual or business entering into this Agreement, (“User”), (collectively “the Parties”). By clicking on the “ACCEPT” button at the end of this Agreement, you represent that you have the authority to bind User to the terms of this Agreement, and User accepts and agrees to be bound by and comply with the terms of this Agreement.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE REFERRAL PROGRAM.

1.     Purpose. Trainerize is in the business of helping trainers and fitness businesses reach new clients, building stronger relationships with their existing ones, and promoting a healthy lifestyle for everyone. User is in a position to refer prospective customers to Trainerize. This Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which User will do so as part of the referral program (the “Referral Program”).

2.     Referral Program. By accepting this Agreement and participating in the Referral Program, User may, from time to time, refer new prospective customers (the “New Customers”) to Trainerize on a non-exclusive basis. Trainerize will pay User a referral fee (“Referral Fee”) for each Successful Referral (defined below), subject to the conditions in Section 3 of this Agreement. A “Successful Referral” occurs when: (a) a New Customer signs up for a Grow, Pro or Studio Plan, and/or, a Video Coaching Add-On, Video Coaching Credits, Stripe Integrated Payments Add-On, Nutrition Coaching Add-On, or Pro Custom Branded App Add-On (an “Applicable Service”) with Trainerize using User’s dedicated “Referral Link” and (b) directly following New Customer’s access to the Applicable Service, New Customer converts to a paid Trainerize account and (c) the New Customer remains a paid Company account for at least sixty (60) days. A referral cannot be a “Successful Referral” if (i) Trainerize has already contracted with or contacted referral about its services or (ii) referral has already been referred to Trainerize by a third-party.

3.     Referral Fee. For Successful Referrals, Company shall pay User a residual referral fee (“Referral Fee”), subject to the conditions herein, based on the tier of User.  A “Tier One User” is any User that is not designated as a “Tier Two User” by Trainerize, at its sole and absolute discretion.    

a.     Referral Fee Structure.

                                               i.     Tier One User will be paid a Referral Fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Trainerize product monthly software subscription price that is successfully collected from Successful Referral, excluding discounts, claims, taxes and credits.  Tier Two User will be paid a Referral Fee equal to twenty (20%) of the Trainerize product monthly software subscription price that is successfully collected from Successful Referral, excluding discounts, claims, taxes and credits. The Referral Fee will be payable within sixty (60) days following receipt of the monthly software subscription fee by Trainerize, subject to the conditions provided herein. 

                                              ii.     User will receive ongoing Referral Fees for Successful Referrals provided User refers at least one (1) Successful Referrals during any thirty-six (36) month period.  Referrals Fees may be amended at any time or terminated, as provided herein.

                                             iii.     If User fails to refer a Successful Referral during any thirty-six (36) month period, all Referral Fees will terminate (“Referral Fee Termination”).

                                             iv.     If, following Referral Fee Termination, User refers a Successful Referral, User will be paid a Referral Fee for new Successful Referrals only.

b.     Referral Fees specified herein are subject to change at the sole and absolute discretion of Trainerize.

4.     Payments. Payment of Referral Fees is handled by PartnerStack (the “Payment Provider”). In order to receive payments under this Agreement, User must create and maintain an account with Payment Provider in the Payment Provider’s online or app-based dashboard (“Payment Provider Platform”), which is provided pursuant to terms directly between the Payment Provider and User. User must keep all information updated and complete within the Payment Provider Platform to receive payments. The Payment Provider Platform will reflect User payment history. The Parties agree that: (a) the data shown in the Payment Provider Platform will govern payments, subject to Trainerize’s right to correct errors based on its own records and (b) records and payments will be deemed complete and incontestable by User twelve (12) months after the date of the payment.

5.     Relationship of the Parties. Participation in the Referral Program does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, broker relationship or agency relationship, between User and Trainerize. It is the sole responsibility of the User to disclose the nature of their relationship with Trainerize to any New Customers or other parties. User shall indemnify and hold harmless Trainerize against any liability arising from User’s lack of proper disclosure to any New Customer or other parties.

6.     Communications. User consents to be contacted by Trainerize via email and telephone, including via automated dialing systems, texts and pre-recorded messages.

7.     Term & Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the date User joins the Referral Program (“Effective Date”) and will continue until terminated (a) by either Party upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other Party or (b) by Company upon notice if User breaches the terms of this Agreement. Upon termination, Company will pay User Referral Fees through the termination date.  For the avoidance of doubt, Company’s obligation to pay Referral Fees is terminated upon termination by Party, for any reason.

8.     Confidentiality. During the course of this Agreement, it may be necessary for either Party to share proprietary and/or confidential information, including, but not limited to, the methods and processes of operation; identities of customers, suppliers, and employees; cost and expense information; production information; trade secrets; confidential processes and technology; pricing information; computer programs and equipment; know-how; research; inventions; financial statements or other financial information, with the other Party, (the “Confidential Information”).
