PrintSage Partner Referral Agreement.
This Partner Referral Agreement (this “Agreement”) between PrintSage Inc. (“PrintSage,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and you (the “Partner”) describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship.
This Agreement applies to your participation in the PrintSage Partner Referral Program (the “Partner Program”). These terms are important, and you may participate in the Partner Program only if you agree to them.
We may periodically update these terms. If we update or replace this Agreement, we will notify you through electronic means, which may include an in-app notification or email. If you do not agree to an update, you may terminate your participation as described below.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Partner Platform” means the platform or software that PrintSage makes available to you to manage your participation in the Partner Program, including referral tracking and commission information.
1. Non-Exclusivity
This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between you and PrintSage. Both you and PrintSage may recommend, promote, or work with other companies that provide similar or competing products or services.
2. Partner Acceptance
To become a Partner, you must complete an application through the Partner Platform or other method designated by PrintSage.
PrintSage will review your application and notify you whether you have been accepted into the Partner Program. We may request additional information or require you to complete certain requirements before accepting your application.
If we do not notify you that you have been accepted within thirty (30) days after your application, your application will be considered rejected.
If accepted, this Agreement will apply until terminated in accordance with its terms.
You must comply with this Agreement and any applicable Partner Program policies at all times.
3. Partner Referrals
Partner may refer prospective customers to PrintSage through a Partner referral link, direct introduction, referral form, or another method approved by PrintSage.
A “Partner Referral” means a prospective customer referred to PrintSage by Partner.
A Partner Referral will generally be eligible for commission if:
- The prospect is a new potential customer of PrintSage;
- The prospect is not an existing PrintSage customer;
- The prospect was not already in PrintSage’s active sales process before the referral;
- The referral can reasonably be attributed to Partner; and
- The prospect completes a qualifying transaction with PrintSage within the applicable referral period.
PrintSage may determine in its reasonable discretion whether a referral is valid and eligible for commission.
If multiple Partners refer the same prospect, PrintSage will determine which Partner, if any, receives credit based on the referral tracking and attribution rules applicable to the Partner Program.
PrintSage may engage directly with any Partner Referral and will have sole discretion regarding whether to contact, negotiate with, accept, or provide services to any Partner Referral.
4. Partner Eligibility and Requirements
To be eligible to participate as a Partner, you must not be a competitor of PrintSage or its affiliates unless expressly approved by PrintSage.

Partner has no authority to distribute, resell, or bind PrintSage to any agreement or obligation unless expressly authorized in writing by PrintSage.

Partner is solely responsible for any unauthorized representation or commitment it makes regarding PrintSage or its services.
6. Acceptance and Validity of Partner Referrals
Partner will be eligible for commission only for qualifying customer transactions that are properly attributed to Partner and accepted by PrintSage under the Partner Program.
A Partner Referral will not be considered valid if the prospect:
- Is already an existing PrintSage customer;
- Was already in PrintSage’s active sales process before the referral;
- Was previously referred by another Partner and is properly attributed to that Partner; or
- Does not complete a qualifying transaction within the applicable referral period.
PrintSage may reject a Partner Referral in its reasonable discretion.
A referral submitted after termination of this Agreement will not qualify for commission.
7. Commission and Payment
Partner will receive commissions for qualifying transactions generated from eligible Partner Referrals in accordance with the commission terms displayed in the Partner Platform or applicable Partner Program policies.
Unless otherwise specified:
- Commission Rate: 15%
- Commission Period: First twelve (12) months following the customer’s initial qualifying transaction.
Commission will be calculated based on Net Revenue actually received by PrintSage from qualifying services.

Partner must:
- Accept this Agreement;
- Complete its Partner Platform account;
- Maintain a valid payment method;
- Provide any required tax documentation; and
- Meet any other payment requirements established by PrintSage or the Partner Platform.
Commissions will be paid according to the payment schedule established through the Partner Platform.

8. Commission Adjustments and Forfeiture
PrintSage may adjust, reverse, or withhold commissions resulting from:
- Refunds;

- Transactions generated through prohibited activities; or
- Violations of this Agreement or Partner Program policies.
Partner is not entitled to commission on transactions involving Partner itself, its owners, employees, or related entities unless expressly approved by PrintSage.
If PrintSage has already paid a commission that is subsequently reversed or determined to be invalid, PrintSage may deduct the amount from future commissions or request repayment from Partner.
9. Third-Party Payment Processors
