Definitions

Unless otherwise agreed herein, the terms used in these Terms shall have the meaning agreed in Leadoo Partner Agreement. 

For the sake of clarity, the agreement regarding Leadoo Products shall be made between the End Customer and Leadoo only and Leadoo products shall be provided solely in accordance with Leadoo’s applicable terms and conditions.

The Partner and End Customer may order additional services, such as consultation or in-app purchases, from Leadoo. Terms and prices applicable to such additional services shall be agreed separately. 

Scope of Application

These terms and conditions shall be applied to the cooperation related to the provision of Leadoo Products to the Partner’s End Customers pursuant to the Agreement.

The Partnership will apply for as long as you participate in the program and have an active and signed agreement. Both parties may terminate this agreement with a thirty (30) day written notice to the other party. If Leadoo updates the terms of this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement on five (5) days written notice to us, provided that you send us written notice within ten (10) days after we send you notice of the change.

Partnership levels

There are three levels for partnerships, with different % on the deals:
 

1. Referral level – The Partner refers new clients to Leadoo
2. Gold level – The Partner refers new clients to Leadoo and/or resells Leadoo independently
3. Diamond level – The Partner refers new clients to Leadoo and/or resells Leadoo independently

The level is determined in the Partnership Negotiations between the parties. Different levels have different requirements and kickbacks.
