Thank you for your interest in partnering with Valene Ashia Creative Studio! We appreciate your help connecting us with nonprofits and social enterprises seeking impactful web design.
To set clear expectations and protect the interests of both parties, we’ve outlined our terms and conditions below. Please take a moment to read them carefully.
Let’s get started.
Last updated: February 3, 2025.
Referral Program Terms and Conditions
This Referral Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Valene Ashia Creative Studio (“VACS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the “Referral Partner” (“you” or “your”) who agrees to these terms.
1. Program Term
The term of this Referral Agreement begins upon your acceptance of these terms and continues until terminated by either party with written notice.
2. Referral Process
You can refer potential clients to us by introducing them directly or ensuring they mention your name during their initial contact with VACS. We will then follow up with the potential client.
3. Qualified Referrals and Projects
A ‘Qualified Referral’ is a potential client who meets all of the following criteria:
- You actively introduced the potential client to VACS, or the potential client mentioned your name during their first interaction with us;
- The potential client is a new client to VACS (i.e., not an existing client or someone with whom we’ve already had discussions about a project), and
- The potential client signs a project contract with VACS within 60 days of your initial referral.
You will not receive a referral fee if any of these criteria are not met.
A “Project” refers to a new website design and development project undertaken by VACS for a Referred Client.
4. Referral Fee
For every successful referral that results in a paid project, you will receive a referral fee equal to 7% of the total project cost.
5. Payment
We will pay your referral fee within 15 days of our receipt of the referred client’s full payment for the Project.
Your payments will be sent to you via PayPal.
We are not responsible for referral fees if the referred client fails to pay the full project cost for any reason, including partial payment. Only a complete project payment will qualify for a referral fee.
6. Confidentiality
The terms of this Agreement are considered confidential.
7. Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement with written notice.
Written notice must be delivered via email to webdesign@valeneashia.com for notice to VACS and to the email address you provided for notice to you.
You will be entitled to any outstanding referral fees earned before the termination date.
8. Independent Relationship
This Agreement establishes an independent relationship. It does not create a joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship between us. Neither party has the authority to bind the other to any contract or incur any debt on behalf of the other.
9. Assignment
This Agreement cannot be assigned without written consent from both parties.
10. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances will either party be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including lost profits) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions it contemplates (whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence, or other form of action) unless such damages are the direct result of one party’s negligence or breach of this Agreement.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, employees, and successors, from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, penalties, punitive damages, expenses, and reasonable legal fees and costs of any kind or amount that may arise from this Agreement, except those directly resulting from the indemnified party’s negligence or breach of this Agreement. This section will remain in full force and effect even after the termination of the Agreement.
12. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute or difference whatsoever arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with, and subject to the laws of the State of Georgia.
If mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration in Georgia, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
13. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.
14. Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior communications, agreements, understandings, inducements, and conditions, express or implied, oral or written.
If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
15. Changes
We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms and Conditions at our discretion. We will notify you via email at least 30 days prior to the effective date of any changes.
The ‘Last updated’ date at the top of these Terms and Conditions will also be updated.
Continued participation in the referral program after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms and Conditions.
