Partner Program — Terms of Service.

Effective Date: March 10, 2026

By creating a Stacq Partner account and checking the agreement box during registration, you ("Partner," "you") agree to and are legally bound by this Partner Terms of Service ("Agreement"). Stacq.io ("Stacq," "we," "us") reserves the right to update these terms at any time with reasonable notice.

1. Program Overview

The Stacq Partner Program allows qualified agencies, freelancers, and web professionals ("Partners") to refer prospective clients to Stacq's managed website infrastructure service. Partners earn ongoing commissions for each successfully matched and active referral.

2. Eligibility

To participate, you must:

Be at least 18 years of age.
Operate a legitimate web services, marketing, or technology business.
Provide accurate and truthful information during registration.
Agree to these Partner Terms of Service and our general Terms & Conditions.

Stacq reserves the right to approve, deny, or revoke Partner access at any time and for any reason.

3. Referral Process

Partners submit prospective client website URLs through the Partner Dashboard. A referral is matched when a client registers on Stacq with a URL that matches a Partner's submitted referral URL. Matching is performed automatically via URL domain comparison and may also be matched manually by a Stacq administrator.

Pending: URL submitted, awaiting client registration.
Matched: Client registered with a matching URL.
Active: Client is on an active billing plan.
Cancelled: Client cancelled or referral was removed.

Partners are responsible for the accuracy of submitted URLs. Each client URL may be matched to only one Partner.

4. Commission Structure

Partners may select one of two payout models during setup. Once selected, the payout model cannot be changed.

Option A — Monthly Commission

10% of the referred client's monthly subscription rate, paid monthly for the duration of the client's active subscription.

Option B — Annual Flat Fee

$150 per year for each active Basic plan referral.
$200 per year for each active Advanced plan referral.
Paid annually on the anniversary of the referral match date.

Commissions are calculated only on active, paying client accounts. No commission is earned during a client's free trial period, during periods of non-payment, or after a client's account has been cancelled.

5. Invoicing & Payouts

Stacq will generate Partner payout invoices on a period basis. Invoices are viewable in the Partner Dashboard. Payment is issued on the 1st-5th of each month for all accrued referral revenue over the past month via the Partner's preferred payment method. Months are counted from the 1st of one month to the 1st of another. Stacq reserves the right to withhold payment if fraudulent activity, self-referrals, or abuse of the program is suspected.

6. Partner Obligations

As a Partner, you agree to:

Represent Stacq's services accurately and ethically.
Not make false claims, guarantees, or promises regarding Stacq's services, pricing, or performance.
Not engage in spam, unsolicited communication, or deceptive marketing practices when referring clients.
Not refer yourself, your own business entities, or accounts you control.
Notify Stacq promptly of any changes to your contact or business information.

7. Co-Branding & Marketing Materials

Partners may access Stacq-provided marketing materials (PDFs, one-pagers) through the Partner Dashboard. Partners may optionally enable a co-branded experience for referred clients, displaying their agency name alongside the Stacq brand during the client onboarding process.

Partners may not create their own marketing materials that use the Stacq name, logo, or trademarks without prior written approval.

8. Confidentiality

Partners may have limited, read-only access to certain client data (site health reports, account status) for referrals matched to their account. This information is confidential. Partners agree not to share, distribute, or misuse any client data accessed through the Partner Dashboard.

9. Term & Termination

This Agreement remains in effect for as long as your Partner account is active.

By Partner: You may request account deactivation at any time by contacting Stacq. Pending payouts for commissions already earned will be honored.
By Stacq: Stacq may deactivate or terminate a Partner account at any time, for any reason. In the event of fraud, misrepresentation, or program abuse, Stacq reserves the right to withhold all unpaid commissions.

Upon termination, all referral relationships are dissolved and no further commissions will accrue.

10. Limitation of Liability

Stacq is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from participation in the Partner Program. Stacq's total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total commissions paid to the Partner in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Modifications

Stacq may modify these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-dashboard notification at least fourteen (14) days before taking effect. Continued use of the Partner Dashboard after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

12. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of law principles.
