These Terms & Conditions govern participation in the Strategic Partnerships program (hereafter, "the Program") for individuals and businesses who refer clients to our services.
1. Overview
The Program is designed for approved Strategic Partners who refer clients to select offerings within our audience-building, media visibility, and YouTube optimization services. Referrals are tracked and compensated under the terms outlined below.
2. Approved Services
Strategic Partners may refer clients to the following approved services:
- Landing a TEDx Talk for Your Client
- YouTube Channel Management
- Audience Growth Subscriptions
- The Influencer
- The Bestseller
- The Double Best-Seller
- The Million Maker with Media Connector
Services outside this list are not currently eligible for referral commissions unless explicitly approved in writing.
3. Referral Process
Each Strategic Partner receives a unique account through our partner platform. This account is required to ensure referral credit is properly tracked.
4. Commission Structure
Commissions are paid as follows unless otherwise agreed:
- $0 – $5,000 per quarter → 10% commission on all sales
- $5,001 – $10,000 per quarter → 12.5% commission on all sales
- $10,001+ per quarter → 15% commission on all sales
Payments are made monthly, or quarterly, depending on the order arrangements, once the referred client's payment has been successfully processed in advance.
Strategic Partners are not permitted to offer discounts or altered pricing without prior approval.
5. Payment Terms
Commissions are processed 30 days, or in some cases 90 days after the client's payment is received and cleared. Payments are issued via PayPal, or an agreed upon system where possible.
6. Marketing Assets
Approved Strategic Partners may use only the marketing assets and language provided or approved by us. All public messaging must reflect the core positioning of our services and may not misrepresent the offering.
Use of the TEDx trademark must follow public usage guidelines and must not imply endorsement or official TED partnership.
7. Program Conduct
We reserve the right to revoke Strategic Partnership status at any time if:
- There is any misuse of branding, messaging, or client information
- A partner engages in deceptive marketing practices or unsolicited outreach
- There is a breach of confidentiality or non-disparagement expectations
8. Term & Termination
Participation is at-will and may be terminated by either party with written notice. Commissions for active referrals will be honored for up to 90 days after termination.
9. Confidentiality
Strategic Partners agree to maintain confidentiality around internal processes, pricing structures, and client data.
10. Amendments
We reserve the right to update these Terms & Conditions. All active partners will be notified of any material changes.
