02The terms
What your audience gets, and what you earn
| Partner | Your audience or client gets | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | 10% off the Audit Sprint: ₹16,200 instead of ₹18,000 per storefront | 15% of what the client pays; 20% from your third paid client in a calendar quarter |
| Agency | The same 10% off, or you resell the audit under your own name | 20% referral, or white-label at ₹12,600 per storefront and set your own price |
| Any partner | – | 10% of Continuous Assurance fees in the client's first year |
| Creator who runs a store | – | We may audit your own store free (up to three this quarter), in return for an honest post that says it's a collaboration |
- Until 31 October 2026 the founding price of ₹9,000 applies to everyone and is lower than any code, so codes don't stack with it. You still earn your commission.
- Amounts exclude GST. Commission is earned on paid invoices that aren't refunded, and tax is deducted at source where the law requires it.
- One code per client; the first code given with an enquiry counts, for 90 days. Your own purchases don't earn commission.
- Our site has no cookies or tracking, so your code travels only in the booking form. Your link fills it in; ask your audience to keep it there.
03House rules
We sell honesty, so partners keep to it too
- Say it's a partnership, upfront and in the post itself: "Ad", "Paid partnership" or "#collab", plus the platform's paid-partnership label. ASCI's influencer guidelines and the government's Endorsement Know-hows! treat a code or a free audit as a material connection. A post without the label earns no commission.
- No promises we can't make. Don't call a store "certified", "compliant" or "government-approved", and don't promise that an audit avoids penalties. We don't issue certificates.
- No fake urgency. "Founding price until 31 October" is true. "Only 3 slots left" isn't.
- Don't name and shame. Show dark patterns on our demo shop, which we built for this, not on a real store.
- Advocates: Bar Council rules limit advertising and referral fees, so for lawyers we offer content collaborations only. CAs and CSs: white-label, where your professional code allows it.
04What you get
A kit you can use as it is
- Your code and link. Shown beside the price when someone arrives through it.
- Screen recordings from the demo shop. False urgency, basket sneaking, drip pricing and more, switched on and off. Free to use in your videos.
- Short scripts and rule references. What each pattern is, which rule covers it, and the fix, checked before you post.
- A monthly statement. Enquiries and paid clients for your code.
