Affiliate program terms

These terms govern the affiliate program (the "Program") operated by WEB Project s.r.o., ID No.: 28596935, registered seat at Dlouhá 730/35, Prague 1 - Old Town, 110 00, the Czech Republic, incorporated in the Commercial register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, section C, file 306366 ("Leadspicker," "we," or "us"). They apply in addition to the Leadspicker Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. "You" means the Leadspicker account, and the person or business holding it, that takes part in the Program. You accept these terms by clicking "Accept the terms" on the Affiliate program page.

1. Who can take part

The Program is for businesses. By accepting these terms you confirm that you take part in the course of your business or profession (a sole trader counts), not as a consumer. Every Leadspicker account for which we have switched on the Program can take part, including free and trial accounts. Taking part costs nothing, and you never need to buy anything to earn a commission. A team takes part as one account: its referral link, gift codes, earnings and payouts belong to the team's billing owner, and its owner or administrators manage them. We may refuse or end participation as set out in Section 9.

2. How a referral is counted

A new Leadspicker account is referred by you when it signs up through your referral link, your custom code or one of your gift codes, or when it opens a page of our website through your link and signs up later from the same browser, if the visitor has consented to marketing cookies. When several links were used, the last one before the signup counts. We may also attach a referral by hand within 30 days after the signup, when you show us that you brought that customer. A referral is not counted when the new account belongs to your own company (for example, it uses the same company email domain), is a member of another account's team, already has a referrer, or is you or the partner who referred you. An account can have only one referrer, and it never changes.

3. What you earn

For each account you referred ("your customer"), you earn 20% of every invoice your customer pays us during 12 months from your customer's first paid invoice. You earn only on accounts you referred yourself: if an account you referred refers others, you earn nothing on what those others pay. Different rates may apply where we have agreed them with you in writing.

The commission is calculated from the amount actually paid, without VAT and other taxes, on Leadspicker plans, add-ons and credits. It is not earned on amounts paid from a customer's account balance, on mailboxes and domains we resell, on taxes, or on any other product we name on the Affiliate program page. The rate in force when an invoice is paid applies to that invoice. Commissions are kept in the currency of the invoice.

4. Refunds, chargebacks and holding period

Each commission is held for 30 days after the invoice is paid. If the invoice is refunded, credited or disputed, the commission is reduced or cancelled in proportion. If a commission was already paid out, the amount is deducted from your next payouts. A negative balance that is not offset within 6 months is written off and we do not ask you to pay it back, unless it arose from a breach of these terms.

5. Gift codes

While your team pays for a Leadspicker plan, it receives a limited number of single-use gift codes; a free or trial account receives none, and codes you already shared stop working if your team stops paying. A new account that signs up with a gift code is referred by you under Section 2. It receives the bonus credits stated on the Affiliate program page when it pays its first Leadspicker invoice, provided the referral is counted and your participation is not suspended. Bonus credits expire like the other credits of the account's plan, have no cash value, and cannot be transferred or exchanged for money. You may not sell gift codes.

6. Payouts

Nothing is paid out automatically: you request each payout on the Affiliate program page. A payout includes all your approved commissions not yet paid out, net of the deductions under Section 4. You can have one payout request open at a time. You choose on the Affiliate program page how you want to be paid:

(a) As a credit to your Leadspicker account balance, which is set off against your next Leadspicker invoices. This is available to everyone, has no minimum amount, and is credited when you request it. It is available only in the currency in which you are billed.

(b) As a bank transfer. This is available only to registered businesses based in the European Union that provide their legal name, company ID or VAT ID, address and an IBAN in their own name. Businesses outside the European Union take their commissions as described in (a); we may offer them other payout methods later. You can request a bank payout once your approved commissions reach the minimum stated on the Affiliate program page (at present 50 EUR, 50 USD or 1,250 CZK). We pay within 30 days after the request.

We pay in your billing currency and convert commissions earned in other currencies at the market rate on the day of the request. When you change your payout details, we may hold your next bank payout until we have checked them. We may ask for information needed to comply with tax, accounting or sanctions rules before a payout, and we may withhold a payout until we receive it. We do not pay to persons or countries subject to EU sanctions.

7. Self-billing and taxes

By accepting these terms, you agree that for each payout, to your account balance or by bank transfer, we issue the document for your commission in your name and on your behalf (self-billing), and you will not issue your own invoice for the same commissions. Your referral service for the commissions in a payout is completed, and the taxable supply takes place, on the day we credit your account balance or approve your bank payout; the document is issued with that date. Commissions are amounts without VAT.

(a) If you are a VAT payer in the Czech Republic, the document is a tax document issued under § 28(10) of the Czech VAT Act and marked "vystaveno zákazníkem" (issued by the customer). We add VAT at the applicable rate to your payout and state it on the document, also in Czech crowns at the exchange rate of the Czech National Bank on the date of the supply.

(b) If your business is established outside the Czech Republic, the reverse charge applies, whether or not you are registered for VAT where you are established: the tax document is marked "vystaveno zákazníkem" and "daň odvede zákazník" (self-billing, reverse charge), carries no VAT, and we account for the VAT in the Czech Republic.

(c) If your business is established in the Czech Republic and is not a VAT payer, the document is a payout statement, not a tax document, and no VAT is added.

When we issue a document, we check your VAT status in the Czech register of VAT payers or in the EU VIES system and follow what they show. If you are a VAT payer in the Czech Republic, we pay a bank payout only to an account published in the register of VAT payers. Tell us without delay if any of your payout details change, including your VAT registration. You may object to a self-billed document within 15 days after we send it to you; if the objection is justified, we cancel the document and issue a corrected one, otherwise the document is deemed accepted. If a commission is reduced after its document was issued (Section 4), we issue a corrective document in the same way. You are responsible for declaring and paying your own taxes on what you earn.

8. How you may promote Leadspicker

You must clearly disclose that you are paid for the promotion whenever you share your link or code, at the start of the post or message and in its language (for example "Ad", "Advertisement" or "Paid partnership"; "in cooperation with" alone is not enough). You may promote your link or code in paid ads, provided the ads carry the same disclosure, do not use "Leadspicker" or similar terms as described below, and do not look as if they were created or sent by Leadspicker.

You must not: send unsolicited commercial messages (spam) containing your link or code, by email, text message, LinkedIn or any other messaging, including cold emails and cold outreach, or put your link or code into outreach sequences sent through Leadspicker; bid on "Leadspicker", its misspellings, our domain or similar terms in paid search or social ads, let automated campaigns show your ads for them, or use them in domain names, account names or the displayed address of an ad, unless we have agreed to it in writing; pretend to be Leadspicker or suggest that you speak for us, including through websites, pages, accounts or ads that imitate ours; promise discounts, prices or features we do not offer; use false or misleading claims, including earnings claims; post your link or code on coupon or deal sites; or refer yourself, your own company or accounts you control, or create accounts to earn commissions.

When you send an email or other message containing your link or code, you send it in your own name and on your own responsibility: you are the sender, and "Leadspicker" must not appear in the sender's name or address. You may send it only to people who have consented to receive commercial messages from you; the exception for messages to your own customers under Czech law covers only your own similar products and services, not Leadspicker. The message must say clearly that it does not come from Leadspicker and must let the recipient easily unsubscribe. At our request, you will show us within 5 business days where the recipients' contacts came from and their consent; until you do, we may suspend your participation.

If you breach the rules in this Section on unsolicited messages or on pretending to be Leadspicker, you will pay us a contractual penalty of 2,000 EUR for each breach, within 14 days after we ask for it. For messages, one breach is one campaign: one mailing, or one sequence of messages, sent to a group of recipients, not each single message. For pretending to be Leadspicker otherwise, one breach is each website, page, account or ad that does so. The penalty does not affect our right to compensation for damage beyond it, or our rights under the next paragraphs and Section 9. By accepting these terms you expressly accept this penalty.

You act only as an independent recommender. You have no authority to negotiate or conclude contracts on our behalf, to accept payments for us or to bind us in any way; your customers contract with us directly. Nothing in these terms makes you our employee, commercial agent, partner or representative. Partners who sell Leadspicker for us under a separate agreement are governed by that agreement.

You are responsible for how you promote Leadspicker. If a third party or an authority makes a claim against us, or fines us, because you breached this Section 8 or the law when promoting Leadspicker, in particular by sending messages in breach of anti-spam or electronic communications rules, by promoting without disclosing that you are paid, or by making false or misleading claims about Leadspicker, you will compensate us for the resulting damage and costs, including fines and other sanctions imposed on us, the costs of the proceedings and reasonable legal costs. For breaches of the rules on unsolicited messages, this obligation is not limited. For any other breach, it is limited to the greater of 10,000 EUR and the commissions you earned in the 12 months before the claim, unless you acted intentionally or with gross negligence. We may set these amounts and the contractual penalty off against commissions owed to you.

9. Suspension and end of participation

We may suspend your participation and cancel commissions not yet paid out if you breach these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse (for example, self-referrals, fake accounts or payments made to earn commissions), or if the law requires it. We will tell you the reason unless the law prevents it.

You may stop taking part at any time by writing to us, and we may end the Program, or your participation, for a reason other than a breach of these terms by telling you at least 30 days in advance. From the end, no commissions are earned, including on accounts you referred before; you can still request payouts under Section 6 of the commissions earned on invoices paid before the end, once their holding period has passed. Cancelling your paid plan or moving to a free plan does not end your participation, and you keep earning.

Deleting your Leadspicker account ends your participation in the same way. A payout you requested before deleting the account is still paid. All other commissions, including those still in their holding period, lapse. Before you delete your account, the application tells you the amount that would lapse, so that you can request a payout first.

10. Personal data

On the Affiliate program page we show you the names of the accounts you referred and whether they are paying; we show no other customers. You may not use this information for any other purpose. We process your payout details and the documents we issue for your payouts to pay you and to comply with our accounting and tax obligations, as described in our Privacy Policy, and we keep them for as long as the law requires (in the Czech Republic, 10 years for tax documents).

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms or the Program, including the rates, by telling you at least 30 days in advance on the Affiliate program page or by email. Changes apply to invoices paid after they take effect; commissions already earned keep the rate in force when they were earned. If you do not agree with a change, you may stop taking part before it takes effect. Commissions keep accruing either way, but you cannot request a payout, to your account balance or by bank transfer, until you have accepted the version currently in force on the Affiliate program page.

12. Liability

The Program is offered as is. We are not liable for referrals that cannot be tracked, for example because cookies were blocked, or for any loss of profit. Our total liability to you under these terms is limited to the greater of 500 EUR and the commissions you earned in the 12 months before the claim. This limit does not apply to harm caused intentionally or through gross negligence, or to any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be decided by the courts of the Czech Republic having jurisdiction over our registered seat.

14. Paid for reach

If the Affiliate program page shows "Get paid for reach" for your account, you can also earn for the views of your own posts about Leadspicker on the social networks listed there (at present LinkedIn, X and Instagram).

(a) Which posts count. You submit the link to each post on the Affiliate program page. A post counts if it is public and about Leadspicker, it was published by you or a member of your team, and it meets Section 8, including the disclosure at its start. On LinkedIn, it must be published from a LinkedIn account connected to your team in Leadspicker. On X and Instagram, it must contain your referral link in the post itself. On Instagram, only reels count, because only they show a view count. Each post earns once, for whoever submits it first; you may not submit someone else's post.

(b) How views are counted. We count the views ourselves: on LinkedIn through your connected LinkedIn account, because LinkedIn shows a post's views only to its author; on other networks, from the count the network shows publicly. We count daily for 14 days after you submit the post; a post published more than 14 days before you submit it is counted once. We pay for the highest count we saw, and our count is final. If we cannot read the count, for example because the post was deleted or made private or the LinkedIn account was disconnected, the post may earn nothing.

(c) What you earn. You earn the network's rate per 10,000 views stated on the Affiliate program page (at present 25 EUR on LinkedIn, 10 EUR on X and 5 EUR on Instagram), in proportion to the views. The amount is rounded down to the cent and is capped at the maximum per post stated there (at present 500 EUR). The reward is a commission in EUR. It is held for 30 days after the counting ends (Section 4 applies accordingly), and it is paid out, converted and documented under Sections 6 and 7. If the post contains your referral link, you also earn commissions under Section 3 on the accounts it brings.

(d) Only real reach. The views must come from people who chose to see the post. You may not buy views, followers or engagement, use bots, engagement groups or other means to inflate them, or promote the post as a paid ad. We may refuse or reject a post that does not meet this Section, also after the counting ended, and cancel its reward unless it was already paid out. A breach of this Section is also a breach of these terms under Section 9.

(e) We may change the rates, the maximum or the networks, or end Paid for reach, under Section 11.
