Referral partner terms for Canadian firms.

These terms are an agreement between you (the firm that signs up) and Standard Practice. They cover the referral program of the Canadian edition of the AI Workplace Exposure Assessment at aiworkplaceexposure.com/ca. By signing up you accept them on behalf of your firm.

1. 01Who may join

   The program is open to businesses and self-employed people based in Canada outside Quebec, who can give us a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E. You must be the age of majority in your province and able to accept these terms for your firm.

2. 02What you earn

   We pay you 15% of the amount a business you referred actually pays us, excluding any tax, for purchases it makes within 12 months of starting its assessment through your link. Commission is earned on purchases made in the Canadian edition, in Canadian dollars. Today that covers the Reality Gap Report.

   • No commission is earned on free products, on any part of a price covered by a credit or discount, or on a payment that is refunded or disputed.
   • We may change the rate for future purchases with 30 days’ notice by email. Commission already earned is not affected.

3. 03How a referral is credited

   When someone follows your link, our site remembers your link for 90 days with a cookie and takes them to the Canadian edition. An assessment started in the Canadian edition in that time is credited to the most recent partner link that person followed, and once credited it stays credited.

   If a business clears its cookies, uses another device, or comes to the site without your link, we may not be able to credit it to you. We may correct a credit when the evidence is clear, at our discretion.

4. 04When and how we pay

   A commission becomes payable 30 days after the business’s payment. We pay each month, by bank transfer in Canadian dollars, once your payable balance reaches $50 CAD.

   • Before the first payment we need your payment details and a Form W-8BEN (individuals) or W-8BEN-E (businesses), which confirms to U.S. tax authorities that you are not a U.S. taxpayer.
   • Commission is income to you. You are responsible for your own taxes on it, including any GST/HST you are required to account for; we do not withhold tax from it unless the law requires us to.
   • If a payment we already paid commission on is later refunded or disputed, we deduct that commission from your next payments.

5. 05How you may promote the assessment

   You may share your link with your clients and contacts, on your website, in newsletters and in meetings. You may not:

   • Earn commission on your own firm’s purchases, or on businesses you own or control.
   • Buy search ads on “AIWE”, “AI Workplace Exposure Assessment” or “Standard Practice”, or on misspellings of them.
   • Send commercial email that does not comply with Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL), or make statements about the assessment that are not true, including that it is legal advice, that it guarantees an outcome, or that we endorse your services.

6. 06Telling your clients

   Tell the people you refer that you may receive a referral fee from us. Clients deserve to know, and Canada’s Competition Act prohibits misleading representations about endorsements.

7. 07Your clients’ information

   We do not share your clients’ names, answers, reports or contact details with you. Your dashboard shows counts and amounts only. Each business’s relationship with us is governed by our Canadian privacy policy and terms.

8. 08Our relationship

   You are an independent business. Nothing in these terms makes you our employee, agent or partner, and you may not make promises on our behalf.

9. 09Changes and ending

   Either of us may end your participation at any time, by email. Commission earned before the end is still paid, unless it came from a breach of these terms. We may pause or close a link that breaks these terms and void the commission it earned.

   We may change these terms with 30 days’ notice by email. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, except where the law of your province requires otherwise.
