Referral program terms

Article 1 : Purpose

These terms govern ZKYSolutions' "referral partner" program, allowing any adult individual (hereinafter "the Referrer") to recommend ZKYSolutions' services to prospects, in exchange for a commission if a contract is signed.

Article 2 : Commission

2.1 The Referrer receives a commission equal to 10% of the total pre-tax price of the project they referred, as set out in the quotation accepted by the client and, where applicable, its amendments. As ZKYSolutions benefits from the VAT exemption for small businesses (Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code), its invoices do not include VAT: the pre-tax and inclusive-of-tax amounts are therefore currently identical.

2.2 The commission is paid as a single payment, and is only due provided that the client has paid the full price of the project. This condition is met when all invoices issued for the project have been paid in full and the total amount received reaches the total price of the project. The commission is triggered by ZKYSolutions actually receiving the client's final payment.

2.3 The Referrer receives no commission, not even in part, before the condition in Article 2.2 is met. Payment of a deposit, an instalment or any other portion of the price gives no right to an interim payment.

2.4 If the project is interrupted or abandoned, or if the client fails to pay the full price for any reason whatsoever, no commission is due to the Referrer. This applies even where a deposit has been received and retained by ZKYSolutions. The Referrer acknowledges that their remuneration depends on full payment of the project by the client they referred, and that it may therefore never become due.

2.5 Any commission due is paid within 30 days of the full payment defined in Article 2.2. For a Referrer that is a legal entity, this period runs from receipt of its invoice, issued in accordance with Article 8.

2.6 The commission relates to the referred client's first project, that is, all invoices issued under the first quotation accepted by that client. Subsequent projects for the same client give no right to any commission.

Article 3 : Independence of the Referrer

The Referrer acts entirely independently, with no subordination relationship with ZKYSolutions. They are neither an employee, agent, nor representative of ZKYSolutions, and may not bind the company towards third parties or negotiate on its behalf.

Article 4 : Tax and social obligations

The Referrer is solely responsible for declaring amounts received under this program to the tax and social authorities of their country of residence, and for complying with any cap, threshold or specific regime applicable in that country (tax exemption schemes, micro-business or local equivalent, registration requirements). ZKYSolutions does not verify or guarantee the Referrer's compliance with such country-specific rules, and disclaims any liability for the Referrer's failure to meet their reporting obligations, regardless of the country involved.

Article 5 : Personal and banking data

Identity, birth, contact, and banking (IBAN/BIC) information collected when joining the program is used exclusively to identify the Referrer and pay out commissions owed. Banking data is encrypted and never shared with third parties.

Article 6 : Duration and termination

The Referrer may end their participation in the program at any time, by simple written request to contact@zkysolutions.com. Termination has no effect on commissions already owed for prior referrals.

Article 7 : Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. Failing an amicable resolution, French courts shall have sole jurisdiction.

Article 8 : Corporate Referrer

When the Referrer acts as a legal entity (company), the commission is paid against an invoice issued by the Referrer to ZKYSolutions, not by a simple bank transfer without supporting documentation. If canvassing is the Referrer's habitual business activity, the Referrer remains solely responsible for checking with their own advisors (accountant, lawyer) whether the one-off referral status set out in these terms is sufficient or whether a commercial agent agreement is required; ZKYSolutions does not reclassify or guarantee this status. The registration number declared by the Referrer is their sole responsibility as to accuracy.
