Terms for partners who bring the client

Broadcastwell Strategic Partner Agreement

Fixed version v2026-10-SP | Issued 8 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 accepted record (Partner). The accepted record states the Partner's full legal name, entity type, authorized signatory and capacity, actual work country and state, account reference, partner code, agreement version, acceptance times and effective date. The effective date is the later of our written approval and the Partner's acceptance of this fixed text. A submitted application, a completed module or a blank template does not activate the Strategic Partner track.

This version is the Strategic Partner schedule v2026-10-SP. It governs prospects registered under it after the effective date. The Referral Partner schedule v2026-10 stays unchanged for introducers who step back after an introduction. Earlier approvals, accepted registrations, signed agreements and accrued rights keep their accepted terms. An existing partner may apply to this track; the new schedule then applies only to prospects registered after approval here, through an explicit prospective written election accepted by both parties. Silence, a website update, a new login or taking a course is never that election.

1. The Strategic Partner track

The Partner finds a prospective client, holds the conversation in its own way, brings the prospect to an order the client places directly with us, and stays the client's relationship contact. Our partner kit is optional reference material, not a script. Our team delivers every order under the published method, with the delivery lead named on our site. No purchase, fee, starter kit, minimum volume, quota, exclusivity, territory or recruitment reward applies, and the Partner bears no cost. Strategic Partner names an independent contractor relationship. Taking part creates no entitlement or priority for paid work with us. We make no income promise. Commission is earned only when a referred client pays and the refund window closes. Many partners earn nothing. Figures shown are worked examples, not typical earnings.

2. Eligibility, approval and independence

Partner must be an adult with legal capacity and, for an entity, authority to sign. We review the application, a public page that verifies the Partner's identity, the network the Partner works, whether the Partner sells AI visibility, GEO, AEO or search services, actual work location and independence, and we approve in writing inside the partner portal. An entity label alone does not establish independent contractor status.

New individual partners working in California, Massachusetts or New Jersey are held pending lawyer review. Partners working in India are held for this track until our India lawyer's written review of the track; the Referral track stays open to them. Anyone currently working for us in a paid position, and anyone who did unpaid work for us, is held until their individual review is complete.

Partner is an independent contractor acting in its own name. Partner decides whether, when, how and whom to approach, uses its own methods, sets its own hours, may serve other businesses and may decline any introduction. We set no hours, targets, territory, call reviews or activity minimums. We may review the accuracy, disclosure and legal compliance of what Partner says about us. Actual conduct controls classification. If the relationship would require a different legal arrangement, new activity stops until the correct arrangement is in place; this document waives no mandatory right.

3. Scope and authority

Partner may describe our published offers using published prices and terms, share partner links, make introductions with permission, and remain the client's relationship contact. Partner cannot negotiate, set or quote any price or term other than as published, discount, offer a rebate or kickback, make a side agreement, close or sign a contract, collect customer money, make any commitment, appoint subagents or otherwise bind Broadcastwell LLC. Every order is placed by the client directly with Broadcastwell, through a published checkout link or a written order we issue, and we alone accept orders. We decide independently whether to pursue a registered prospect and whether to contract. No Indian office, 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 prospect before first contact: company, domain, contact name and title, how Partner knows them and short notes. A cold-originated prospect is eligible when it is registered and accepted before first contact. Do not submit sensitive personal information, scraped or purchased lists or confidential employer or client material. We record the registration time and accept or decline in the partner portal.

Before a first registration is accepted, Partner completes Launchpad module 9, Selling as a Strategic Partner, and the correct tax form is on file (section 11). Module 9 requires and scores only disclosure, published prices and terms, authority limits, registration and the data rule; the conversation techniques in the kit are optional and are not assessed. Completing module 9 is never acceptance of any terms.

Protection lasts 90 calendar days from accepted registration, extended to 180 calendar days where a documented conversation with the prospect occurs inside the first 90 days. The first valid registration wins. Attribution stays with the Partner when we contract directly with the prospect inside the protection window, without the Partner attending later sales or delivery work. We do not substitute a new acceptance date to shorten or restart protection.

A company is pre-existing, and a registration may be declined for that reason, only if it is a current or former client, or Broadcastwell or one of its agents had a two-way conversation with it in the 90 days before the registration. A cold email from us with no reply does not make a company pre-existing. A decline for that reason cites the dated record, without disclosing another party's private data. A company the Partner owns, works for or controls, a related entity under common control, a duplicate and a self-purchase are ineligible.

The protection window decides whether a client first qualifies. Once the client's first payment is collected inside the window, commission continues on every invoice we collect from that client within twelve months of that first collected payment, measured by collection date, even after the window or the Partner's participation ends.

5. Commission schedule v2026-10-SP

50% of the first order: the first invoice we collect from a referred client, net of credits, taxes, refunds and third-party costs. For the program, the first invoice is the first monthly $4,500.

20% of every further invoice we collect from that client within twelve months of the date of the first collected payment.

Third-party costs means separately itemized pass-through amounts, such as ad spend paid to an advertising platform. Payment processing fees and our delivery costs are never deducted. A credit is counted once.

Not commissionable: agency wholesale ($1,000 per client per month for the first client, then $490 per client per month) and white-label reports ($490 each), as on the Referral schedule; any order where the Partner owns, works for or controls the client; and any amount refunded or charged back before the refund condition closes. Index Verified is free and Category Exclusive is included with the Fix Sprint and the program; neither carries a price or a commission. Credits are never commissioned twice: a Fix Sprint bought after a credited Audit is commissioned on the $2,410 collected. No cap, no minimum, no exclusivity, no territory and no cost to the Partner.

Worked examples, each an example and not typical earnings. A client buys a Category Audit ($490): $245. Then a Fix Sprint after the credit ($2,410): $482. Then the program for ten months ($45,000): $9,000. Twelve-month total: $9,727. A client buys the Fix Sprint directly ($2,900): $1,450. A client starts on the program: $2,250 on the first invoice, then $900 on each of the next eleven collected: $12,150.

Commission is earned only when a referred client pays and the refund window closes. Many partners earn nothing. Figures shown are worked examples, not typical earnings.

6. Earning, five dates and payment

The ledger records for each invoice (1) the accepted registration, with its original registration time; (2) the client's first collected payment, which starts the twelve months; (3) collection of that invoice; (4) closure of the refund condition published on broadcastwell.com/terms for that offer; (5) the payable date. Collection alone is not refund closure. Internal review cannot postpone an objective condition or the payment deadline.

We pay within seven calendar days after the refund condition closes, in US dollars, to the payment method on file, unless mandatory law requires earlier payment. We bear sending fees. Any legally required withholding is shown separately with evidence. Because the tax form is on file before a first registration is accepted, a paperwork delay should never arise; if one does, we explain it promptly, seek a lawful solution and pay every undisputed sum when law requires. No indefinite hold or forfeiture of a debt results.

Amounts refunded or charged back before the refund condition closes are excluded from the commission base. If a Fix Sprint is refunded under its day-30 term, the refund returns the Sprint and any credited fee once, and that refunded cash earns no 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.

7. Review gate

The first payment we collect from a client referred under this schedule triggers review by our US lawyer and, for any India matter, our India lawyer. That review finishes before the first commission under this schedule is paid, and we arrange it in time so it never defeats a contractual or statutory payment deadline.

8. Category Audit at no charge for a prospect

A Strategic Partner may request one Category Audit at no charge for each accepted registered prospect. We approve or decline each request individually. It is delivered to the prospect under the published method, like every Category Audit, and our team holds it for review before release. It is not an invoice and earns no commission; the first paid invoice remains the first order. Because no fee was paid, it carries no credit toward the Fix Sprint. Do not mention it to a prospect before we approve the request.

9. Client data and confidentiality

Deliverables go to the client. For orders attributed to the Partner, the portal shows order status only: offer, amount collected, dates, delivery status and the refund window. The Partner sees a client's report only if the client ticks "Share my report with my Broadcastwell partner" at intake, which is off by default. The Partner never sees another partner's data, any client's answers or receipts without that consent, or any order not attributed to the Partner. Register only the business contact data needed. Our privacy notice and the Launchpad privacy notice apply.

10. Disclosure and conduct

Every recommendation, endorsement or introduction carries this exact disclosure: "I may earn a commission if you become a Broadcastwell client." We use "may" because earning depends on collection, refund closure and eligibility. Say it at the start of the first conversation and include it in every message that carries a buy link, before the link and before any truncation. Spoken and video recommendations need an audible and visible disclosure. The disclosure guide sets the placement for each channel.

Quote published prices and terms only, as published. No Partner-set price, rebate, kickback or side agreement. No promise of a rank, lead, placement, inclusion or result. No contract, quote or commitment on our behalf. Do not describe yourself as part of our company. Outreach is one-to-one in the Partner's own name; no bulk, purchased or scraped lists; no paid advertising on our brand without our written approval; no Broadcastwell-branded domains or handles. No deception, impersonation, fake reviews or unverified results, and no reward for recruiting other partners. Each rule above is a form of honest representation, the one condition we place on how the Partner works. We review templates and the first public promotion, then spot-check; we never sit in on the Partner's calls or require access to its private communications. Repeated breaches suspend new registrations and promotion, with notice and correction instructions; earned commission stays protected.

11. Tax forms and payment details

Before a first registration is accepted, the Partner uploads the correct tax form through the restricted portal record: a US tax person gives a W-9, including a US tax person working in India; a foreign individual generally gives a W-8BEN and a foreign entity a W-8BEN-E, subject to actual status and work location. The form is encrypted, available only to the Partner and the owner, and kept only as long as tax and legal duties require. Payment details are not stored in the partner portal; we collect them directly from the Partner at the first payout. Never send Aadhaar, passports or tax returns. Where India work is ever approved, the India addendum to the v2026-10 agreement applies to this agreement too, including its written CA and receiving-bank confirmations before the first India payment.

12. Ending participation, disputes and law

Either party may end participation by written notice. Earned commission is never cancelled; valid accepted registrations keep their remaining protection, and the twelve-month commission period of a client whose first payment was collected survives. No termination reduces accepted economics. Future changes require clear prospective notice and the Partner's assent; fixed accepted versions stay downloadable. No indemnity, liability or personal surety is placed on the Partner.

Raise a dispute in writing through the partner portal or partners@broadcastwell.com, identifying the transaction and concern. We acknowledge it, investigate, share relevant non-confidential evidence and pay undisputed amounts on time. The parties have 30 days to resolve it; after that, Indiana courts. Indiana law applies, except where mandatory work-location, wage, privacy, freelance, sales-representative or other local law requires otherwise. Nothing waives a nonwaivable protection, and the 30 days never delay a statutory right or an urgent remedy.

Acceptance record

The Partner accepts in the partner portal by typing its full legal name and capacity, checking a separate intent statement and confirming this fixed v2026-10-SP text. We approve in writing by the same method, recorded by the owner. The system records, for each party, the typed name, capacity, version, SHA-256 of the fixed text, UTC time and source IP. Both parties can download the same accepted record as a PDF. No automated process accepts or approves for either party.
