3.2. the Referral Partner has submitted the mandatory details of the Prospective Customer to Employment Hero through the Partner Portal;

3.3. the Prospective Customer has subscribed to receive one or more of the Eligible Products from Employment Hero through the Employment Hero sales team; and

3.4. the Prospective Customer has made their first payment for an Eligible Product to Employment Hero.

4. Prospective Customer means a business, that is not (and has not been at any time during the 12 months before the date on which your referral is made):

4.1. a customer of Employment Hero; or

4.2. a business that Employment Hero is or has been in discussions or negotiations with for provision of any Services by Employment Hero; and

5. The Referral Partner must provide Prospective Customer details to Employment Hero through the Partner Portal before the Prospective Customer makes first contact with Employment Hero.

6. If a Prospective Customer is referred by more than one Referral Partner to Employment Hero, then Referral Incentives will only be payable in respect of the first referral that is submitted through the Partner Portal.

7. What Referral Incentives are payable for Qualifying Referrals:

1. Your Referral Incentive is based on your Partner Tier, which is displayed on the Home Page of your Partner Portal account. Your starting Partner Tier will be displayed when you first log in to the Partner Portal.

2. The Referral Incentive for each Qualifying Referral you make is based on your Referral Incentive Rate in place at the time you submit the referral in the Partner Portal. For each Qualifying Referral (other than for Global Teams), your Referral Incentive Rate may include:

2.1. a first year rate. For the first 12 months starting from the date of the Qualifying Referral’s first invoice, your Referral Incentive is a commission equal to your first year rate multiplied by the value of the Eligible Products contained in the subscription fee (excluding Sales Taxes) that is received by Employment Hero; and

2.2. an ongoing rate. After the period of the first year rate expires, your Referral Incentive for the Qualifying Referral is a commission equal to your ongoing rate multiplied by the value of the Eligible Products contained in the subscription fee (excluding Sales Taxes) that is received by Employment Hero.

3. For Global Teams, your Referral Incentive for each Qualifying Referral is a commission equal to 1 month’s management fee for the Global Teams service (excluding Sales Taxes) received by Employment Hero, payable after the referral becomes a Qualifying Referral.

4. Employment Hero may change your Referral Incentive Rate or Partner Tier from time to time with notice to you. Changes apply to new Prospective Customers submitted after the date on which the changes are notified to you. Changes made to your Referral Incentive Rate or Partner Tier will not affect the Referral Incentive payable in respect of Qualifying Referrals that have been submitted through the Partner Portal before the change.

5. Referral Incentives will only be payable in respect of a Qualifying Referral until the earlier of:

5.1. the date on which the Qualifying Referral customer ceases to hold a paid subscription for Eligible Products; and

5.2. the date on which you cease to be an Active Referral Partner.

6. When submitting a referral in the Partner Portal, if you choose to offer a discount to a Prospective Customer rather than receive a Referral Incentive, then:

6.1. Employment Hero agrees to offer that Prospective Customer a discount on the price of the Eligible Products contained in their first year’s subscription equal to your first year Referral Incentive Rate; and

6.2. you will not be eligible for any Referral Incentive in respect of that Prospective Customer.

8. Term of appointment and exclusivity

1. The Term of these Referral Terms commences on the date on which they are accepted by the Referral Partner, and continues until terminated under the termination clause below.

2. During the Term, Employment Hero appoints the Referral Partner on a non-exclusive basis to make Qualifying Referrals in favour of Employment Hero.

The Referral Partner may update this Representative’s details or change its nominated Representative by notifying Employment Hero in writing.

10. Payment process

1. Reporting of Qualifying Referrals and payment of Referral Incentive

1.1. Within 14 Business Days of the end of each quarter, Employment Hero will provide a report to the Referral Partner detailing the quantity of Eligible Products sold and the total Referral Incentive payable to the Referral Partner for that quarter (Partner Report).

1.2. Within 5 Business Days of receiving the Partner Report, the Referral Partner will reconcile the information in the Partner Report with its own records and respond to either accept or dispute the Partner Report. If the Referral Partner accepts the Partner Report, it will provide an invoice to Employment Hero for the relevant Fees.

1.3. If the Referral Partner accepts the Partner Report, then Employment Hero will pay the Referral Partner the total amount of Referral Incentive listed on the Partner Report within 14 Business Days of receiving the Partner’s invoice.

1.4. If the Referral Partner disputes all or a portion of the Partner Report, then the parties will first work in good faith to resolve the dispute within 5 Business Days. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute, then Employment Hero may suspend or terminate these Referral Terms immediately by notice to the Referral Partner.

2. Payment terms

2.1. Referral Incentives will be paid by bank transfer to the account nominated by the Referral Partner on its invoice, quarterly in arrears.

2.2. Referral Incentives will be paid only in the currency of the jurisdiction in which the Referral Partner’s business is registered.

4. Payment is exclusive of Sales Taxes and other taxes

4.1. Unless otherwise stated in the definition of Referral Incentive, all amounts payable for supplies made under these Referral Terms are exclusive of Sales Taxes or other taxes (if any). If a supply is a taxable supply, all amounts payable or other consideration provided must be increased by the amount of Sales Taxes or other applicable tax payable in relation to that supply.

5. Eligible Products

5.1. A Prospective Customer must purchase one or more Eligible Products and commit to a minimum contract term of 12 months (or 6 months in respect of Global Teams) for any Referral Incentive to be payable in respect of that Prospective Customer. The Referral Incentive will only be payable for the first purchase made by the Prospective Customer and will not include any upsells (including any upsells made within the first 12 months after the first purchase) and free periods based on any promotions.

6. Errors and Clawbacks

6.1. If there is an error or overstatement in the Partner Report that has resulted in an overpayment, Employment Hero has the right to deduct the overpayment from future Partner Reports. If a Prospective Customer cancels their subscription before the minimum term (12 months for Eligible Products excluding Global Teams, and 6 months for Global Teams), Referral Incentives paid in respect of that Prospective Customer may be deducted from any amounts payable to the Referral Partner in any future Partner Reports on a pro rata basis.

19. General

1. These Referral Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties about their subject matter and supersedes all prior representations, agreements, statements and understandings, whether verbal or in writing.

2. Neither party may assign or novate these Referral Terms or otherwise deal with the benefit of it or a right under it, or purport to do so, without the prior written consent of the other party which must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Employment Hero may assign, novate or subcontract all or any part of these Referral Terms to any of its Affiliates at any time, by giving written notice of such dealing to the Referral Partner. The Referral Partner consents to any novation that satisfies the requirements of this clause.

3. No waiver of a right or remedy under these Referral Terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting it. It is only effective in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is granted.

4. A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy under these Referral Terms does not prevent a further exercise of that or of any other right or remedy. Failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy under these Referral Terms does not operate as a waiver or prevent further exercise of that or of any other right or remedy.

5. The provisions of these Referral Terms that are capable of surviving termination, will do so.

6. Any term of these Referral Terms which is wholly or partially void or unenforceable is severed to the extent that it is void or unenforceable. The validity and enforceability of the remainder of these Referral Terms is not affected.

7. Nothing in these Referral Terms is intended to constitute a fiduciary relationship or a partnership, trust, employment or agency relationship, and neither party has authority to bind the other party.

8. The law governing these Referral Terms will be the law in New South Wales, Australia and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

9. A notice, consent or other communication under these Referral Terms is only effective if it is in writing and it is received in full and legible form at the addressee’s address, email address or through the Partner Portal.

No rule of construction applies to the disadvantage of a party because that party was responsible for the preparation of these Referral Terms.
