Referral Agent Agreement (Link-Based)

Effective Date: September 16, 2025

Gerra: 732 South 6th Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101

Referral Partner: The individual or entity that accepts these terms (via click-accept, message or signature) ("Referral Partner").

Acceptance. By clicking "I agree," generating or using a referral link containing ?refp=, or submitting referrals to Gerra after being presented with this Agreement, Referral Partner agrees to these terms. If you prefer a signed copy, Gerra will countersign the same text.

1. Purpose; Relationship; Non-Exclusivity

1.1 Purpose. Referral Partner introduces prospective customers to Gerra via approved link(s) and/or warm email introductions (the "Program").

1.2 Independent Contractor; No Authority. Referral Partner isn't Gerra's agent/employee, may not bind Gerra, quote binding pricing, make warranties, or speak on Gerra's behalf.

1.3 Non-Exclusivity. Both parties may work with others.

2. Tracking & Attribution

2.1 Referral Link & Cookies. Gerra provides a unique URL containing ?refp=[partner]. A first-party cookie persists 14 days from the last valid click.

2.2 Attribution Window. A Qualified Booking (defined in §3.1) is attributed if (a) it occurs while the cookie is valid, or (b) the booking session includes the valid refp parameter.

2.3 Multiple Referrers. Last-click wins within the 14-day window.

2.4 Manual Attribution. If a prospect books off-link, Gerra may attribute where (i) the prospect identifies Referral Partner in writing, or (ii) Referral Partner provides dated evidence of a warm intro before the account was active in Gerra's CRM.

2.5 Ineligible Leads. House Accounts designated by Gerra in writing before the referral are not commissionable. Gerra may update the House list prospectively (existing approved, attributed leads aren't retro-affected).

3. Commissions (10% base; 15% accelerator)

3.1 Qualified Booking. A new paid customer order for Gerra's services attributable under §2, for which Gerra actually collects payment.

3.2 Rates. 10% of Net Revenue on Initial Order(s); if three (3) or more Qualified Bookings convert to paid revenue (initial payments received) in the same calendar month, rate is 15% for all that month's Qualified Bookings.

3.3 Initial Order(s):

  • Events / one-time SOWs: the invoiced amount(s) collected for that SOW at start.
  • Subscriptions: the first invoice only (including any same-time onboarding/setup).
  • Annual or multi-month prepay: the upfront prepaid amount collected at start.

Renewals/expansions/later purchases aren't commissionable unless separately referred and attributed under §2 during a new 14-day window.

3.4 Payment Timing; Statements. ACH within 15 days after Gerra receives customer payment, with a calculation statement.

3.5 Net Revenue. Amounts collected minus: taxes/duties/withholdings and any line items designated pass-through at cost (e.g., shipping, customs, venue/union fees, drayage, rigging, temporary power, security, regulator/venue-mandated third-party charges).

3.6 Chargebacks & A/R.Refunds/credits and invoices >60 days past due are reversed or netted against future commissions.

3.7 No Gaming. Self-referrals, cookie stuffing, link hijacking, unauthorized paid search on Gerra brand terms, or deceptive tactics void eligibility.
