Partner Agreement

Effective date: May 14, 2026

1. Eligibility

Partnership is open to individuals and organizations with a relevant audience (Telegram community managers, content creators covering community tools, agencies, adjacent SaaS founders). You confirm that you operate your own promotional channels and are not promoting on behalf of an employer who has not authorized it. Anyone running paid traffic or trademark bidding on "Varta" terms is not eligible.

2. Commission

  • Tier 1 — Standard: 30% recurring commission for 12 months on each new paying customer attributed to you.
  • Tier 2 — Strategic: 25% recurring lifetime commission for partners approved with audiences of 50,000+ on Telegram or 10,000+ on Twitter. Tier 2 is reviewed manually; criteria and approvals are at Varta's discretion.
  • Commission is calculated on net subscription revenue actually received from the customer. Refunds, chargebacks, and downgrades reduce commission accordingly (two-way reconciliation through our affiliate platform).
  • Free-tier and trial users do not generate commission. Only paid subscriptions count.

3. Attribution

  • Cookie window: 60 days from click. Last-click attribution wins. When multiple partner links touch the same customer, the most recent click before subscription gets credit.
  • Mechanism: your unique partner link sets a cookie on getvarta.com and propagates an af_CODE parameter into the Telegram bot's /start flow, which is then attached to the Stripe checkout for commission resolution.
  • Self-referrals (customer email or Telegram account matches your own) are detected automatically and excluded from commission.

4. Promotion guidelines

You agree to follow these rules. Violations end the partnership immediately and forfeit any pending commission:

  • No unsolicited posting in Telegram groups you don't run. Varta deliberately does not spam groups, and partners must follow the same principle. Recommendations belong in your own channels, newsletters, videos, or one-to-one conversations.
  • Disclose the partnership. When recommending Varta in a public context (post, video, newsletter), disclose that you receive commission. A short line like "I earn a commission if you sign up via this link" satisfies the requirement and matches US FTC guidelines.
  • No misleading claims. Don't claim features Varta doesn't have, don't fake testimonials, don't impersonate official Varta channels.
  • No paid search on Varta trademarks. Don't bid on "Varta", "getvarta", or close variations in Google Ads or similar.
  • No incentivized clicks. Don't offer money, credits, or rewards in exchange for clicking your link.
  • Brand-aligned tone. Promote Varta in positive framing — what it enables, not fear of spam. Avoid catastrophizing language.

5. Payouts

  • Methods: Wise, PayPal, Crypto, Wire transfer. Each affiliate selects their preferred rail in the platform dashboard.
  • Schedule: monthly (1st).
  • Minimum threshold: $50. Below the threshold, balance rolls forward to the next payout.
  • Hold period: 30 days from conversion. Protects against chargebacks and refunds. After hold, commission is locked.
  • Currencies: 190+ currencies supported via the affiliate platform. FX handled by the payout rail.

6. Taxes

You are responsible for your own taxes on partner commission, including any reporting required in your country of residence. Where required by law, Varta or the affiliate platform will collect tax forms (W-9 for US residents, W-8BEN for non-US) and may apply withholding. For US-resident affiliates earning ≥$2,000 in a calendar year, a 1099-NEC will be issued.

7. Termination

Either party can end the partnership at any time, with or without cause, by written notice (email is fine). Varta may terminate immediately for violations of section 4 (promotion guidelines), fraudulent activity, or self-referral attempts. On termination: tracking links stop attributing new conversions; commission already earned and out of hold is paid out per the normal schedule.

8. Modifications

Varta may update these terms with 30 days notice via email or partner dashboard. Continued participation after the notice period constitutes acceptance. Material changes (commission rate, attribution model) only apply to conversions after the effective date.

9. No agency

This is an independent-contractor relationship. You are not an employee or agent of Varta. You have no authority to bind Varta to commitments. Varta has no obligation to provide benefits, training, or equipment.
