You may include a banner or classified advertisement that links to the Zeald website in your e-mails. We will track any new prospects resulting from these links.

4. Active promotion of Zeald by the Supporter

There is no obligation on the Supporter to actively promote Zeald. If you wish to undertake any promotional activity to generate a larger number of prospects, this activity must first be approved by your Zeald representative.
 

5. Supporter Fees

The friends and supporters program is very valuable to us, since we see ourselves as a professional services organisation and prefer to work through referrals rather than cold calling.

Accordingly, we recognise your contribution to our business by rewarding a supporters fee of an amount equal to 5% of the initial GST exclusive sales price of any Zeald products or services supplied to your prospect as a result of direct or indirect referral that is less than 6 months old.

You can instruct us to have the supporters fee paid directly to yourself or to an authorized Zeald charity.

6. Payment Terms

We recognise the sale when the customer signs the contract with us and pays the deposit for the website. Once the deposit has been received we will pay either yourself or your nominated charity the full supporters fee.

To keep the paperwork simple – we settle all fees on a fortnightly payment cycle.

7. Our Commitment to You

We undertake to you that we will follow through on all referrals in a prompt and professional manner. We want your contact to thank you for introducing you to us!

8. Required Disclosures

It is important that you comply with all relevant law, including the Secret Commissions Act 1910 and the Privacy Act 1993, and when required disclose to referred customers that you will receive benefits as a result of the referral to Zeald (in the event that it is successful).

9. Tracking

We take responsibility for tracking all referrals made by our Supporters through the Zeald Supporters Centre.  The Zeald Supporters Centre can be accessed at the following location http://supporters.zeald.com.  Please note – you will need a login in order to successfully use the Zeald Supporters Centre.  If you do not have a login please email our support team on support@zeald.com.

11. Updates to this Agreement
