Refer & earn
Earn 20% recurring commission for 12 months when you refer new customers to Zernio.
Zernio Affiliate Program Terms
Zernio has an affiliate program — refer new customers and earn 20% recurring commission for 12 months. Head to our affiliate page for the full details and to apply. The terms below cover how it all works.
Effective date: The date you submit your application and accept these terms.
This agreement is between Zernio ("we," "us," "the Company") and you, the approved partner ("you," "Partner"). By applying to the Zernio Partner Program ("Program") and accepting these terms, you agree to the following.
1. Definitions
Referral — a potential customer you introduce to Zernio through your unique partner link.
Qualified Referral — a Referral that meets all of the following criteria:
- A first-time Zernio customer who has not previously held an account in our system.
- Completes a qualifying paid subscription (connecting 3 or more social accounts, as the first 2 are free).
- Full, valid payment is received by the Company.
- Remains an active, paying customer for at least 30 days after their initial payment.
The determination of whether a Referral qualifies rests with the Company.
2. Eligibility and Approval
The Program is application-based. We review each application individually and reserve the right to approve or decline at our discretion. We may also end a partnership if these terms are not being followed.
3. Partner Responsibilities
As a partner, we ask that you:
- Represent Zernio's products and capabilities accurately
- Share your partner link only through authorized methods and channels
- Comply with all applicable advertising, marketing, and data protection laws in your jurisdiction
- Follow the brand guidelines we provide upon approval
4. Program Guidelines
To keep the Program fair and sustainable for everyone, the following activities are not permitted:
- Bidding on Zernio brand terms in paid search, or running paid advertising that competes directly with Zernio's own campaigns
- Listing Zernio on coupon, deal, or discount aggregator sites without prior approval
- Using automated, incentivized, or artificially inflated traffic methods (including bots, cookie stuffing, or misleading redirects)
- Referring accounts that you own, operate, or control
- Operating sub-affiliate arrangements or reselling access to the Program
- Representing yourself as an employee, agent, or official representative of Zernio
- Misrepresenting Zernio's product capabilities or pricing to drive signups
We understand that most partners would never consider these things, but having them written down protects everyone involved. Violations may result in removal from the Program and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.
5. Revenue Share
Commission
Partners earn a 20% revenue share on qualifying subscription fees paid by each Qualified Referral, for up to 12 months from the date of their first payment or until the customer cancels, whichever comes first.
What's included in the calculation
Commission is calculated on Zernio's own account-based subscription revenue. The following are excluded:
- Taxes, discounts, and promotional credits
- X/Twitter API passthrough costs (billed at exact platform rates with no Zernio margin)
- WhatsApp passthrough charges
6. Payment Terms
- Platform: Payouts are processed through Dub Partners and facilitated via Stripe.
- Schedule: Commissions accrue monthly and are issued at the end of each calendar month.
- Holding period: The first month's commission for each new Qualified Referral is held for 30 days after month-end, allowing time to verify eligibility and confirm no refund or cancellation occurred.
- Minimum payout: $10 — balances below this threshold carry forward to the following month.
- Delivery: Payments are sent within 30 days following month-end.
7. Refunds and Adjustments
If a Qualified Referral cancels, receives a refund, initiates a chargeback, or is found to have been obtained through methods that don't comply with these terms, the associated commissions may be adjusted or withheld. We will notify you if this happens.
8. Taxes
Partners are responsible for all applicable taxes on earnings received through the Program.
9. Intellectual Property
Any trademarks, logos, screenshots, or promotional materials we provide remain the property of Zernio. You're welcome to use them to promote the Program in accordance with our brand guidelines, but no ownership rights are transferred. If we update or retire specific materials, we'll ask you to update accordingly.
10. Term and Termination
This agreement remains in effect from the date of your acceptance until either party ends it.
- You may leave the Program at any time.
- We may end the partnership at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice. In cases of serious or repeated violations of these terms, we may terminate immediately.
Upon termination, any earned and verified commissions will still be paid out according to the normal schedule. Commissions that haven't yet cleared the 30-day holding period will be reviewed and paid if eligible.
11. Changes to the Program
We may update these terms, adjust commission rates, or modify Program mechanics over time. When we do:
- We'll provide at least 15 days' notice by email before changes take effect
- Continued participation after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms
We're committed to making changes thoughtfully and transparently.
12. Disputes
If you believe a commission was calculated incorrectly, please let us know in writing within 30 days of the relevant payment. We'll work together to resolve it.
13. General Provisions
- Governing law: This agreement is governed by the laws of Spain.
- Independent relationship: Partners are independent and are not employees, agents, or contractors of Zernio. Nothing in this agreement creates an employment or agency relationship.
- Non-exclusivity: This agreement is non-exclusive. Both parties are free to enter into similar arrangements with others.
- Entire agreement: This document represents the complete agreement between both parties regarding the Program and supersedes any prior discussions or understandings.
- Severability: If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
