You will only be entitled to receive Partner Share for a Closed Subscription if (i) You receive a notification from Privy that the lead has been approved (an “Approved Lead”) and (ii) such Approved Lead results in a Closed Subscription prior to expiration. All registrations will expire after (90) days, unless a longer period is mutually agreed upon by You and Privy.

You may only submit a Lead Registration Form for prospects that have expressed an interest in using Privy products.

You may from time to time request our participation on calls with Prospective Customers, however, our participation and the level of such participation will be determined by Privy in our sole discretion.

Privy may determine the benefits available for each Tier in its sole discretion and may change the qualifying criteria of each Tier or the benefits available to any Tier in its sole discretion without notice or liability to You.

You will receive Your Partner Share for Closed Subscriptions for as long as the Closed Subscription remains active and You remain an Active Partner. The percentage of Partner Share you will receive is based on your Tier as follows:
- 10% of Net Revenues for Affiliate Tier
- 0% of Net Revenues for Partner Tier
- 10% of Net Revenues for Silver Tier
- 15% of Net Revenues for Gold Tier
-
20% of Net Revenues for Platinum Tier
- Payments in the Privy Partner Program are handled by GrowSumo (a.k.a PartnerStack). GrowSumo pays affiliates by either Paypal or Stripe, dependent on the affiliate’s preference. If the PayPal or Stripe email changes, it is the responsibility of the Partner (your responsibility) to update it within the GrowSumo dashboard to ensure proper commission payments. We will not resend payments returned due to incorrect payment email addresses.
- You will not be eligible for any Partner Share if (i) payment of the Partner Share would be prohibited by Law; or (ii) the Customer has paid or will pay you any commission related to the Privy Product or (iii) the Customer is a Partner.

- You will receive Partner Share corresponding to your Tier at the time of the Closed Subscription. If you move to a higher Tier, your new Partner Share percentage will apply only to new Closed Subscriptions from that point forward.
- In the event a Customer uses a discount and does not pay retail price, then notwithstanding your current Tier, You only will be eligible to receive a Partner Share of 5% of Net Revenues, calculated on the discounted subscription price.
- If We refund any subscription fees to a Customer, Your Partner Share for the quarter in which the refund takes place will be reduced by an amount equal to the relevant Partner Share times the amount of the refund.
- On a case-by-case basis, you may choose to pass along your Partner Share in the form of a discount to the End User. When this happens, you waive your right to Partner Share on that Closed Subscription and will no longer be eligible to receive Partner Share for that Closed Subscription.
- You may also choose to opt-out of Partner Share altogether. If you waive your right to Partner Share, Privy is not responsible for any past Partner Share. You may choose to re-enter into receiving Partner Share at any point, but Partner Share will only be paid out on new Closed Subscriptions from that day forward.
- We may split the Partner Share for a Closed Subscription among more than one Partner if we feel that multiple Partners contributed to such Closed Subscription. We may deny the payment of a Partner Share if You did not have significant impact on or if another Partner secured the Closed Transaction, even if you received an Approved Lead. From time to time We may request proof that you are actively engaged with a Prospective Customer. You are responsible for all taxes associated with any Partner Share that You earn pursuant to the Program.
- Privy reserves the right to change the prices for the various Privy Products from time to time in its sole discretion. Privy shall honor existing pricing for any Closed Subscription that occurs within ten (10) days of the pricing change, provided that the associated subscription fee is also received by such date. We will notify You of any pricing change by email.
Training
You and your employees may be eligible to participate in any Privy Agency Partner Program Certification (the “Certification”) Privy provides.
