SQOR Partner Program Terms

These terms summarize the SQOR Partner Program Agreement between SQOR Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SQOR.ai", "we" or "us"), and each firm we welcome as a partner ("you"). The agreement your firm signs is the final word, so if anything here differs from it, the signed agreement applies. Version 2026-11-05.

What you get

• Paid fast. We pay each commission within 15 days of the client's payment reaching us, with no minimum payout.
• Paid for 3 years. As a Partner or Premier Partner, you earn on your client's payments for 3 years, including upgrades and growth.
• Covered if we part ways. If we end the agreement without cause, you keep earning on your clients for up to 12 months.
• Terms that hold. Your signed agreement changes only when both of us sign the change.
• Our team does the technical work. We connect the client's systems, run the Proof of Value and the launch, and support the platform, and our help never reduces your rate.

1. Who can join

Advisory firms anywhere in the world with at least 1 active paying client are welcome to apply, and we give priority to firms in the United States and Canada. We review every application and approve partners at our discretion. Joining is free, you remain free to work with other software companies, and you cover your own costs of taking part. Your firm becomes a partner once we have both signed the partner agreement.

2. How partners earn

• Refer, 10% once. Introduce a client and step away, and you earn 10% of the subscription fees we receive from that client for its first year.
• Partner, 20% for 3 years. Stay in as the client's lead contact, and you earn 20% of the Proof of Value fee when we receive it, and 20% of every subscription payment we receive from that client during the commission period in section 5.
• Premier Partner, 30% for 3 years. Each partner client whose agreement with us is signed in a calendar year counts toward that year. Your first 5 partner clients of the year earn 20%. Your 6th and every later partner client of the year earn 30%, on the Proof of Value fee and for their whole commission period. Counts reset each January 1, and a client keeps the rate it started at.

3. What a partner does

As a Partner or Premier Partner, you are the client's trusted lead from the first meeting through launch and after it. You keep the client's team and ours in step, in a shared Slack channel and regular meetings, you keep the Proof of Value moving, and you look for the next team, location or use case. We handle the technical work: connecting the client's systems, running the Proof of Value and the launch, training the client's people and supporting the platform. Our help with demonstrations, pricing or contracts never reduces your rate.

4. Registering a client

• Register each client with us in writing before or when you introduce it, so your introduction is on record. We accept or decline each registration in writing within 10 days, and one we have not accepted by then is declined.
• An accepted registration holds for 180 days. If the client signs its first agreement with us in that time, it counts as yours.
• A registration cannot cover a client that already has an agreement with us, that we already know as a prospect, that another partner introduced first, or that is one of our existing direct private equity accounts.
• If 2 partners introduce the same client, we decide, based on each partner's contribution, who earns and how a commission is shared, and that decision is final.

5. How long partners are paid

For a Partner or Premier Partner client, the Proof of Value fee earns commission when we receive it, before the client launches. For subscription payments, the commission period starts on the first day of the month after the client launches and runs for 36 months, and subscription payments we receive during the month the client launches count as well. It ends sooner only if you end the agreement, or if we end it for cause under section 12. If we end the agreement without cause, you keep earning on each client you were already paid on, for the rest of its commission period, up to 12 months after the agreement ends. A referral is paid once, on the client's first-year subscription.

6. What partners earn on

Commissions are calculated on the fees we actually receive from the client, before taxes: the Proof of Value (for Partners and Premier Partners) and the client's subscription, including upgrades and additional teams, locations or use cases of the same client during its commission period. A new company, affiliate or division of the client counts once you register it as its own client. If we refund or credit a fee, it is not commissionable, and any commission already paid on it comes off your next payment.

7. When and how partners are paid

We pay each commission within 15 days of the client's payment clearing our account, in United States dollars, with no minimum payout. Send us the tax form we ask for, a W-9 for a United States firm or a W-8BEN-E for a firm outside the United States, and you handle your own taxes on your commissions. Commissions are calculated from our records. If a payment ever looks wrong, tell us in writing within 30 days and we will look into it.

8. Prices, and your own services

Clients sign with us and pay our list price for the Proof of Value and the subscription, the same price every client pays, so you never have to negotiate or collect for SQOR.ai. Please do not charge clients for SQOR.ai or add to our price, and leave reselling and signing agreements to us. Your own services are yours to price, such as cleaning and organizing a client's data, preparing due diligence, training people or consulting. Beyond your own services and the commissions we pay you, you take no payment from a client based on its use of SQOR.ai.

9. Disclosure and professional rules

Where the law or your professional rules call for it, tell your clients that you receive a share of SQOR.ai revenue for the clients you introduce. Accounting firms follow AICPA and state board rules on commissions and do not take a commission for a client the firm audits, reviews or performs any other attest service for. As in all your work, you follow the laws that apply, including anti-bribery laws.

10. Marketing together

We give you ready-made materials, kept current, so you never have to write about SQOR.ai from scratch, and we make our best efforts, as time permits, to answer your questions and support your conversations with clients. When you describe SQOR.ai, keep to what our materials say, and check with us before you change them. You are welcome to email your own clients and contacts about SQOR.ai under the anti-spam laws that apply to you, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States and Canada's anti-spam law. Because our name travels with every message, we ask that you do not send bulk or unsolicited email about us or anything that appears to come from SQOR.ai, and that you use our name and logos as our materials show.

Premier Partners can be listed in our partner directory. From time to time we may also invite partners, Premier Partners first, to market with us. It is never a requirement.

11. Client data and confidential information

Client data and client systems stay with our team, and partners do not access them through SQOR.ai. Anything we share with you that is confidential, or that you would reasonably understand to be, stays confidential and is used only for the program. SQOR.ai, our materials, our names and logos, and the data and results our products produce remain ours. Please do not use our materials or confidential information to compete with us, or copy, reverse engineer or try to discover the source code of SQOR.ai.

12. Term and ending the agreement

The agreement runs for 1 year and renews each year. You may end it at any time. We may end it on 30 days' written notice for any reason, or at once for cause: if you act in a way that harms SQOR.ai or its reputation, or if you breach the agreement and do not fix it within 15 days of our notice. When the agreement ends, you stop presenting yourself as a SQOR.ai partner and return our materials and confidential information.

13. A program, not a legal partnership

"Partner" is the name of the program, not a legal partnership. You run an independent business: you are not our employee, agent, franchisee or legal partner, and neither of us can bind the other. If you would like someone else to take over or carry out the agreement for you, ask us first in writing.

14. Liability and the law

We are not liable to you for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages, such as lost revenue or profits. Apart from undisputed commissions we owe you, our total liability under the agreement is limited to what we paid you in the 12 months before the claim. SQOR.ai and our materials are provided to you as they are, without warranties. You indemnify us against third-party claims that result from your acts or omissions, and we may set such a claim off against commissions. The agreement is governed by New York law, and disputes go to the state and federal courts in New York City. A claim must be brought within 1 year after the agreement ends. Changes to a signed agreement take effect only in writing, signed by both of us.
