In short
The Aventide Partner Program is open to people and companies in the United States with a US bank account, and you don’t need a paid Aventide plan to join. You earn 20% of the plan fee on each Starter or Pro payment a new referred account makes, for 12 months from its first paid plan invoice, when that person creates an account within 90 days of opening your partner link (the first link they open counts). Commission is held for 60 days (90 for an annual payment), then paid once a month through Stripe when your balance is at least $50 (your first payout also needs two referred accounts that have paid), and you promote Aventide by saying you are a partner close to your link, marking links as sponsored and describing Aventide truthfully.
This summary is for convenience. The terms below are what apply.
These terms are the agreement between you and Second Spring Design Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Aventide (“Aventide”, “we”, “us”), when you join the Aventide Partner Program. You accept them by ticking the box when you join. We record the time and the version you accepted.
1. Joining
You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. If you join for a company, you confirm you can accept these terms for it.
For now the program is open only to people and companies in the United States with a US bank account. If you move outside the US, tell us. We can’t pay you there yet.
You join with one Aventide account. One partner account per person or company.
Joining is open and your link works right away. We can pause or end any partner account, at our discretion, as section 12 describes.
You don’t need a paid Aventide plan to be a partner. Using the Aventide app is separate and follows the Aventide Terms.
2. Your relationship with us
You are an independent contractor. You are not our employee, agent or representative, and you can’t make promises or sign anything for Aventide. Nothing here is exclusive: you can work with others, and so can we.
3. What you earn
You earn 20% of the plan fee in each payment a referred account makes on a Starter or Pro plan.
The plan fee is counted before tax and after any discount.
You earn for 12 months, starting on the date of that account’s first paid plan invoice of $5 or more.
You earn on at most 12 months of plan fees for each referred account. A monthly payment counts as one month and an annual payment as 12. If an annual payment would take the total past 12 months, you earn only on the months that are left. For example, after 10 monthly payments, an annual payment earns on 2 of its 12 months.
A charge for changing plans part way through a billing period counts as a payment, and as one of the 12 months.
These never earn commission: credit packs, add-ons, free trials, invoices of $0, taxes, and any plan other than Starter or Pro.
Your own Aventide subscription never earns you commission.
Amounts are in US dollars. Dates are counted in UTC.
4. Which sign-ups count
A sign-up counts for you when a new person opens your partner link and then creates a new Aventide account within 90 days.
The first partner link a person opens is the one that counts. A later link from another partner doesn’t replace it, unless the first partner’s link no longer works.
New accounts only. Someone who already has or had a paying Aventide account doesn’t count.
A referral is not split between partners.
Tracking relies on a cookie. If a person blocks or clears cookies, or uses another device, we may not be able to credit you.
Our records decide who is credited. If you think we missed one, write to us within 60 days of the sign-up and we will look into it.
5. When and how you are paid
Commission on a monthly payment is held for 60 days. Commission on an annual payment is held for 90 days. After the hold it becomes payable.
We pay once a month, when your payable balance is at least $50.
Your first payout also needs at least two different referred accounts that have each paid.
We pay through Stripe. Before your first payout we will ask you to connect a Stripe payout account and accept Stripe’s terms for it. We can’t pay you until you do.
A payable balance below $50 carries forward to the next month.
We pay Stripe’s fee for sending the payout. Any currency conversion or bank fee on your side is yours.
6. Taxes
You are responsible for your own taxes on what you earn.
Before your first payout you must give the tax details Stripe asks for. We can’t pay you without them.
We report payments and withhold tax where the law requires it.
Payments are reported under the name and tax ID you give Stripe. If they are wrong, we may hold payouts until they are fixed.
7. Refunds, chargebacks and mistakes
If a payment you earned on is refunded, reversed or charged back, the commission on it is taken back.
We take it from your unpaid balance first, then from future payouts. A balance below zero carries forward.
We won’t ask you to send money back, unless the commission came from fraud or from breaking these terms.
If we credit commission by mistake, we can correct it.
While a payment is in dispute, the commission on it stays on hold.
8. Balances left unclaimed
A quiet account. If your account has earned no new commission for 12 months and still has a balance, we will email you. If you have connected a payout account, or you connect one within 60 days of that email, we pay the whole balance, whatever its size. The $50 minimum and the two-account rule in section 5 don’t apply to that payment.
No payout account. If a balance that meets the $50 minimum and the two-account rule in section 5 has been payable for 12 months and you haven’t connected a payout account, we will email you twice, 30 days apart. If you connect one within 60 days of the first email, we pay it.
If you don’t claim it. A balance that was below the $50 minimum, or that hadn’t met the two-account rule, may be closed when the 60 days end.
A balance that met both is never closed. We keep it for you and, when the law requires, send it to the unclaimed property office of the state the law names, usually the state of your last address we have. You can then claim it from that office.
Connecting a payout account, or writing to us about your balance, stops this at any time before a balance is closed or sent on.
Sections 6, 7, 10 and 12 still apply to any payment under this section.
9. How you promote Aventide
Say you are a partner wherever you share your link, clearly and close to the link. For example: “I’m an Aventide partner. I earn a commission if you sign up through my link.”
On a website or in a newsletter, mark links to Aventide as sponsored (
rel="sponsored").Describe Aventide truthfully. Use what our website says. Don’t promise results, savings or income.
Don’t present yourself as Aventide or as speaking for Aventide.
You may use the Aventide name and logo, unchanged, only to promote Aventide under these terms. We can withdraw that permission at any time.
Don’t post a review or rating of Aventide on a review site, app store or marketplace, unless the review says you are an Aventide partner.
If we ask you to change or remove something you published about Aventide, do it within 5 days.
10. What is not allowed
Referring yourself, your own business, or an account you control or pay for.
Paying, rebating or rewarding people to sign up, or arranging sign-ups that aren’t real customers.
Bidding on “Aventide” or close misspellings in paid search or other ads, or using our name in a domain, account name or handle.
Coupon, deal, cashback or rebate sites, apps and browser extensions.
Spam: unsolicited bulk email, messages or posts. Any email you send about Aventide must follow the US CAN-SPAM Act and similar laws. No texts or calls to people who haven’t agreed to hear from you.
Hidden, forced or automated clicks, cookie stuffing, fake accounts, or anything else meant to trick our tracking.
Anything illegal, misleading or harmful to the people you share Aventide with.
11. Data and privacy
You see counts only: clicks, sign-ups and paying accounts. We never share the names, emails or account contents of the people you refer.
Don’t collect personal information from people in Aventide’s name.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information as a partner and the cookie that tracks referrals.
12. Pausing, ending and breaking the rules
You can leave at any time by writing to us. We can end your participation with 30 days’ notice.
When the partnership ends without a breach, commission that is already earned still becomes payable after its hold and is paid, and nothing new accrues after the end date. The $50 minimum and the two-account rule don’t apply to your final payout.
If you break these terms, we can pause or end your account immediately, turn off your link, and cancel unpaid commission that came from the breach. For fraud or serious breach, we can cancel all unpaid commission.
We can review referrals and hold a payout while we look into a concern.
Sections 6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15 continue after the partnership ends.
13. Changes
We can change the program or these terms. We will email you at least 30 days before a change that reduces what you earn or adds obligations, and we will give the terms a new version.
If you keep sharing your link after a change takes effect, you accept it. If you don’t agree, you can leave, and section 12 applies.
A change applies to sign-ups made after it takes effect. Referrals you already have keep the commission terms they started with, unless the change is better for you.
We can end the whole program with 30 days’ notice. Section 12 then applies to what you have earned.
14. The legal part
No guarantee. We don’t promise that you will earn anything, or any level of traffic, sign-ups or payouts.
Liability. Neither of us is liable to the other for lost profits or indirect losses. Our total liability to you under these terms is limited to the commission we paid or owed you in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if that is more. None of this limits commission we owe you under these terms, or either side’s liability for fraud.
Your promotion. If someone makes a claim against us because of how you promoted Aventide in breach of sections 9 or 10, you will cover our reasonable costs of it.
Disputes and law. The disputes section of the Aventide Terms (section 18 when you accepted these terms: how disputes are handled, individual arbitration, no class actions, Delaware law and courts) applies to these terms too. A later change to that section doesn’t apply to a dispute you had already told us about.
Sanctions. You confirm you are not in a country, or on a list, that US law bars us from paying.
Transfer. You can’t transfer your partner account or these terms to someone else without our written agreement. We can transfer them with our business.
Whole agreement. These terms are the whole agreement between us about the Partner Program. If one part can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
15. Contact
Questions about the program or these terms: support@aventide.ai.
We send notices to the email address on your partner account. A notice counts as given the day we send it. Keep that address current.
