Partner terms

1. Who these terms are between

These terms are between you (the partner) and Akshaf Mulla, trading as a technology consultant at akshafmulla.com ("we", "us"). You act as an independent contractor. Nothing here makes you an employee, agent or legal representative, and you may not sign contracts, quote prices or make commitments on our behalf.

2. What you do

You introduce prospective clients who may need technology consulting, product, digital transformation or AI delivery services. You submit each introduction through the partner portal, either yourself or through your referral link.

You only submit a prospect who has agreed to be contacted, and you give accurate information. You follow applicable anti-spam, data-protection and anti-bribery laws, and you never offer anything of value to a prospect's staff to win business.

3. Lead acceptance and ownership

Every lead is reviewed. We may accept or reject a lead at our discretion. A lead is attributed to you only once we accept it.

If a company, e-mail address or phone number is already known to us (an existing client, an open opportunity, or a lead another partner submitted earlier), the lead is held for ownership review and no attribution is given automatically. We decide ownership; the earliest accepted submission normally wins. A lead that was rejected or lost more than six months earlier does not block a new submission.

Once accepted, the attribution is locked. You cannot change it, and it is never transferred without a written reason recorded in the portal.

4. Commission

Your commission rate is the rate in your agreement, fixed in the agreement you accept in the portal. A later change to the rate applies only to agreements offered after the change. It never changes commission already earned.

Commission is earned only on money a referred client actually pays us, excluding VAT and other taxes. It is not earned on proposals, estimates, signed contract values or unpaid invoices. When a client pays in instalments, you earn proportionately as each payment is received.

Commission applies to every eligible payment from a client attributed to you, on any project, for as long as the attribution remains active. We may end an attribution only for a breach of these terms, and we record the reason. Commission already earned at that point is not affected.

If a client payment is refunded or reversed, the commission on it is reversed too. If that commission was already paid to you, the amount is deducted from your future commission; we never debit your account.

5. Approval and payment

Earned commission is reviewed and approved, then paid in a payout to the details you provide in the portal. A client paying us does not by itself mean you have been paid: a payout is recorded separately, with its reference.

Commission may be placed on hold while a client payment, dispute or compliance question is investigated. You can see every amount, its calculation and its status in the portal, and you can raise a query on any line.

You are responsible for your own taxes on commission received.

6. Confidentiality

Information about our clients, prices, proposals and other partners is confidential. Use it only to perform under these terms and do not disclose it.

7. Suspension and ending

Either side may end the partnership at any time by notice in writing (e-mail is enough). We may suspend your account immediately for a breach. While suspended, new commission is held until we decide, and commission already approved stays payable unless it relates to the breach.

After ending, commission already earned on attributed clients' payments stays payable under section 5.

8. General

These terms are the whole agreement about the partner programme. If any part is unenforceable, the rest still applies. They are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Dubai.
