Transparent terms for genuine introductions

Broadcastwell Launchpad Partner Agreement

Fixed version v2026-10-09 | Issued 9 October 2026 | USD unless stated otherwise

Parties and effective date

Broadcastwell LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, 517 E Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, IN 47408, USA, represented by Sairam Sivakumar, Founder (we/us), and the legal individual or entity identified in the signed record (Partner). The signed record states the Partner's full legal name, entity type, authorized signatory and capacity, actual work country and state, account reference, agreement version, acceptance times and effective date. The effective date is the latest of both signature dates and completion of our approval and required onboarding. A blank template or submitted application does not activate participation.

This version governs only new registrations made after its effective date. Earlier approvals, accepted registrations, signed agreements and accrued rights retain their accepted terms. An existing partner changes terms only through an explicit prospective written election signed by both parties. Silence, a website update, a new login or taking a course is not that election.

1. Three independent routes

Learn is free education. Refer is an independent, optional introduction relationship. Paid work is available only through funded roles with a separate hiring process. Joining, declining, completing or leaving Launchpad, making referrals, generating revenue, or taking part in the Exchange does not affect any application, interview, paid assessment or hiring decision. Learning and referrals create no entitlement or priority for paid work. No hiring reviewer receives Launchpad activity through the program. No purchase, fee, starter kit, minimum volume, quota, exclusivity, territory or recruitment reward applies. We make no income or employment promise; most participants may earn nothing.

2. Eligibility, approval and independence

Partner must be an adult with legal capacity and, for an entity, authority to sign. We review actual work location, business activity, clients served, independence and payment readiness. An entity label alone does not establish lawful contractor status. New individual partners working in California, Massachusetts or New Jersey are held pending lawyer review. Learn stays open. Anyone currently or previously doing unpaid work for us is held from referral activation until their individual classification and compensation issues are reviewed.

Partner chooses whether, when and how to make lawful introductions, may serve others, bears no obligation to work set hours, perform assigned sales duties or meet targets, and may decline any opportunity. We may review accuracy, disclosure and legal compliance without directing an employee-like sales role. Actual conduct controls classification. If the relationship would require employment or another legal arrangement, introductions stop until the correct arrangement is established; this document waives no wage or other mandatory right.

3. Limited scope and authority

Partner may identify a genuine fit and, with appropriate permission, introduce a prospective retail customer. Partner acts in their own name. Partner cannot negotiate, quote, discount, close, execute contracts, collect customer money, provide unapproved client advice, appoint subagents, or otherwise bind Broadcastwell LLC. We decide whether to accept a prospect and whether to contract. No Indian office, employee, representative office or local establishment may be held out on our behalf. Customer contracting and delivery remain our responsibility.

4. Registration, acceptance and protection

Register the company domain and minimal business context before any introduction. Do not submit sensitive personal information, scraped lists or confidential employer/client material. We record registration time and send an acceptance or reasoned rejection in the partner record. Attribution belongs to the first valid accepted registration; acceptance records the registration date used for protection. A pre-existing-opportunity rejection identifies a dated prior company contact record, without disclosing another party's private data.

Protection lasts 90 calendar days from registration, extended to 180 calendar days where a documented sales conversation occurs inside the first 90 days. Existing clients, active opportunities, prior conversations documented before registration, duplicates, self-purchases and related entities under common control are ineligible. We do not substitute a new acceptance date to shorten or restart protection. A recorded eligible purchase within the protection window remains attributed if we contract directly, without Partner attending later sales or delivery work.

The protection window determines whether a customer first qualifies; it is distinct from the payment tail. Once an eligible program customer qualifies inside the window, commissions on that program continue for up to its first 12 paid months, including eligible month-to-month continuation, even after the window or participation ends. No new attribution is created by a purchase outside the window without a new written acceptance. Renewing a window requires a documented agreement, never a retroactive change to another partner's rights.

5. Prospective commission schedule

Other offers have no commission without a separately signed prospective schedule. Commission base excludes sales taxes, refunded/reversed cash before earning, and separately itemized third-party pass-through costs. A credit is counted once. It is neither new collected cash nor a second deduction from the Sprint's $290 total target. Processor/sending fees do not reduce an agreed flat commission or the eligible collected-cash base.

Each example below is an illustration, not typical and not guaranteed: Audit $50 then a credited Sprint adds $240, for $290 total. Direct program purchase with three retained $4,500 payments yields $1,350. Only actual eligible cash and the accepted agreement control.

6. Customer milestones

One $100 bonus follows the first distinct genuine unrelated retail customer with an eligible retained payment; one $150 bonus follows the third. An Audit counts. Upgrades, recurring invoices and multiple products for one company do not create additional customers. No bonus is earned for recruiting partners, learners, employees or relatives, for self/related-company purchases, or for wholesale/white-label purchases with no agreed schedule. Bonuses become earned when the qualifying customer payment satisfies its product refund condition. Each bonus is paid only once.

7. Earning, four dates and payment finality

The ledger separately records (1) referral acceptance, with original registration time; (2) customer collection; (3) objective product refund-condition closure and supporting evidence; (4) commission due date. Collection alone is not refund closure. Internal review cannot arbitrarily postpone an objective condition or the payment deadline.

This table reflects broadcastwell.com/terms inspected 3 October 2026. The signed customer terms for the transaction control its refund condition; store their version with the ledger. Partner economics are not silently rewritten by later website changes.

Commission is earned when the accepted eligible referral produces collected cash that is retained after the applicable refund condition. We pay within seven calendar days after that condition closes and required tax/payment documents are complete, unless mandatory law requires earlier payment. Required documents are collected before activation. If a later documentation issue arises, we promptly explain it, seek a lawful solution and pay every undisputed sum when law requires; no indefinite hold or forfeiture of a debt results. We bear sending fees. Any legally required withholding is separately identified with evidence, not treated as a reduced earned commission.

A correctly paid commission is final despite a later ordinary refund or chargeback. Recovery is limited to substantiated Partner fraud connected to that specific payment, with written facts, amount and evidence, and an opportunity to dispute. We do not offset unrelated earnings or claw back for ordinary refunds, dissatisfaction or a general breach. A demonstrable duplicate or arithmetic payment error is handled as a separate documented correction under applicable law, not disguised as a refund clawback.

8. Review gates

The first collected payment from a referred client triggers review by both our US and India lawyers. Review must finish before the first commission payout. The flag is raised at collection, before refund closure. We arrange timely review so this internal gate does not defeat a contractual or statutory payment deadline. If timing conflicts arise, the owner escalates before the deadline and follows mandatory law. India payments additionally require the written CA and receiving-bank confirmations in the India addendum. We send payments through the agreed payment route and provide a payment record.

9. Tax, privacy and communications

Required tax identity and payment documentation is completed through restricted onboarding before activation, separately from applications and course data. US tax persons use W-9; a foreign individual generally uses W-8BEN and a foreign entity W-8BEN-E, subject to actual status and work location. A US tax person working in India still requires the appropriate US-person treatment. Learn alone requires no tax form. Never submit Aadhaar, passports or tax returns to Launchpad. Tax, contract and financial records are retained only for applicable legal obligations and disputes; access is limited to authorized owner/finance advisers.

Operational notices needed to administer a requested referral relationship are separate from optional Launchpad marketing. The marketing choice is unticked and can be declined or withdrawn without affecting learning, referral eligibility, compensation or hiring. Applicant contacts are never imported or solicited for Launchpad. Public certificate verification uses only the consented display name, title, version, issue date and random certificate ID; consent can be withdrawn.

10. Disclosure and prohibited conduct

Use clearly beside each recommendation: "I earn a referral commission from Broadcastwell if you purchase through my referral." Use "may earn" only where the commission is genuinely conditional. Spoken/video endorsements need an audible and visible disclosure; links and text posts need an adjacent readable disclosure before any truncation. We review the first public promotion and spot-check later material. Repeated breaches pause promotion and new registration, with notice and correction instructions; earned lawful debts remain protected.

No spam, purchased/scraped lists, deception, impersonation, fake reviews, unverified results, ranking/income/job guarantees, cookie stuffing, trademark bidding, unauthorized paid advertising, or misrepresentation of available offers. Do not reveal confidential information or use unapproved branding. Education exercises are synthetic or learner-owned and are never required commercial deliverables.

11. Ending participation, disputes and changes

Either party may end future participation by written notice. We may pause new activity immediately for substantiated compliance concerns and state the reasons. Valid prior registrations keep their remaining protection; eligible customer payment tails, earned compensation, payment records, confidentiality and dispute rights survive. No termination retroactively reduces accepted economics or creates a forfeiture for declining work. Future changes require clear prospective notice and any legally required assent; fixed signed versions remain downloadable.

Raise a payment dispute through the partner record or partners@broadcastwell.com, identifying the transaction and concern. We acknowledge and investigate promptly, provide relevant non-confidential evidence and pay undisputed amounts on time. A proposed 30-day discussion period does not delay statutory rights or an urgent remedy. Indiana law and competent Indiana courts apply except where mandatory work-location, wage, privacy, freelance/sales-representative or other local law requires otherwise. Nothing waives nonwaivable protections or imposes a personal guarantee or broad indemnity.

Electronic signatures

Each signatory types their own full legal name and capacity, checks a separate affirmative intent-to-sign statement and confirms the fixed v2026-10-09 text. The system records the document hash, version, UTC time and source IP for each signature. Both parties receive access to the same fixed downloadable signed record. A company administrator cannot sign on the Partner's behalf. No automated process signs for Sairam. India addendum applies where work occurs in India; state-specific addenda require counsel-completed text and separate acceptance where needed.

India addendum to Partner Agreement v2026-10

Issued 3 October 2026. Applies to work physically performed in India. The signed record identifies the payee, work state, business status, actual functions and authorized signatory. No independent-contractor label substitutes for the actual classification analysis.

The Partner works only from the declared India location and notifies us before changing it or working in another country. Partner has no authority to negotiate, quote, close, collect money, habitually secure orders on our behalf, or bind Broadcastwell LLC. We do not hold out the Partner's premises as our office. No territory, hours, exclusivity or required sales activity applies. Actual activity and combined service days are monitored for tax/establishment review; a 12-week engagement does not establish a permanent-establishment exemption.

Before activation, obtain through restricted onboarding: legal name/payee type; PAN; US tax status and appropriate W-9 or W-8 form; work-location declaration; GST registration status and GSTIN if registered; compliant invoice details; receiving bank/payee details and approved payment route. Collect only what is needed. No Aadhaar, passports or tax returns. Do not place tax or bank information in a partner application, hiring tracker or shared spreadsheet.

Before the first India payment, our CA provides written analysis of payer-side withholding/TDS, GST and invoicing. The analysis must identify relevant payer facts and the Income-tax Act, 2025 provisions effective in 2026; it must not assume a blanket 2% deduction. The memo identifies the section 393 framework and an INR 20,000 commission threshold in applicable cases. The CA verifies the exact current category, rate, threshold and remittance/reporting duties for this payer/payee.

The CA must retrieve the enacted Finance Act 2026 GST amendment and commencement provision, determine whether intermediary treatment changed for this specific service, and assess place of supply, all export-of-services conditions, registration thresholds (including any special-category state treatment), LUT/IGST position, and invoice wording. Zero rating, no GST registration or no withholding is not presumed. A registered exporter and an unregistered person have different documentation paths; an unregistered person is not instructed to file an LUT.

The receiving authorized-dealer bank must confirm in writing the post-1 October 2026 route: exporter reporting/EDF, timing, accepted purpose code, receipt currency, realization period and eFIRC or equivalent receipt evidence. Do not use a guessed purpose code or assume any named payment intermediary is universally eligible. The memo's nine-month general / twelve-month INR realization distinction and EDF timing must be checked against the bank's applicable current rules. The bank confirmation is a gate, not an assertion that this document itself satisfies RBI reporting.

Our lawyers review at the first referred client collection and before first commission payout. Local tax/bank readiness is completed early enough to meet the seven-calendar-day payout rule. Internal review does not extinguish or indefinitely defer an earned legal debt. We pay sending fees and show any mandatory withholding separately. Existing accepted rights and mandatory law prevail over inconsistent boilerplate.

Signature is recorded with the main fixed agreement and this addendum's version/hash. A future change to duties, location, payment route or legal status is reviewed prospectively before new activity.
