Sprintlaw Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to participants in Sprintlaw’s Affiliate Program for Accountants and Bookkeepers (“Program”). By submitting your Expression of Interest (“EOI”) and ticking the acceptance box, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Sprintlaw’s Affiliate Program allows accountants and bookkeepers to refer clients to Sprintlaw’s Plus Membership at a discounted rate and earn a referral commission for successful sign-ups. The Program also offers optional access to Sprintlaw’s ‘Advisor Feature’ to co-manage clients’ legal needs.
2. ELIGIBILITY
To participate in the Program, you must:
- Be a licensed accountant or a registered BAS agent (if required), or an independent bookkeeper operating in Australia.
- Submit a valid EOI form.
- Be approved by Sprintlaw at its sole discretion.
- Agree to these Terms.
Sprintlaw reserves the right to refuse or revoke participation in the Program at any time if it deems a participant’s conduct inappropriate, unlawful, or in violation of these Terms.
3. AFFILIATE BENEFITS
As a participant in the Program, you will receive:
- Free Sprintlaw Plus Membership For You: You will receive a complimentary Sprintlaw Plus Membership for your first year (valued at $799 per year). This includes access to benefits including but not limited to free legal templates, 30-minute lawyer consults, access to discounts, and other benefits. Your membership is subject to Sprintlaw’s Terms of Engagement. By signing up, you agree to be bound by these terms. This membership is non-transferable and non-refundable. If you continue your membership beyond the first year, you will be responsible for renewal fees unless otherwise agreed with Sprintlaw.
- Discounted Sprintlaw Plus Membership for Your Clients: You can offer your clients a Sprintlaw Plus Membership for the first year at a discounted rate of $199. Clients must sign up using your unique referral link. This offer is only valid for new Sprintlaw clients and cannot be combined with other promotions.
- Referral Fees: You will earn a $50 commission for each successful client sign-up under your unique referral link. A “successful sign-up” means a client has paid for the Plus Membership and has not cancelled or requested a refund within the first 30 days. Commissions will be tracked and reported to you quarterly.
- Optional ‘Advisor Feature’: With client consent, you may co-manage their Sprintlaw account under our ‘Advisor Feature’. This includes access to document drafting tools, eSignature management, project tracking, and legal quote requests. If you choose to offer the ‘Advisor Feature’ service to clients, you must obtain and maintain their express written consent before accessing or managing their Sprintlaw account. The client may revoke their consent at any time, and you must immediately cease accessing their account upon such revocation. Any fees you charge your clients for this service are your responsibility, and Sprintlaw is not liable for such arrangements.
4. PAYMENT AND REPORTING
Unless otherwise agreed, Sprintlaw will provide you with an Activity Report as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar quarter, setting out the amount of paid work completed for referred clients. The report will include:
- The number of clients who have signed up for a Plus Membership under your referral link.
- The total amount of Referral Fees payable.
Upon receipt of the Activity Report, you may issue a tax invoice to Sprintlaw for Referral Fees. Sprintlaw will pay a correctly rendered invoice issued under this clause within 30 days of receipt.
Referral Fees exclude GST, and you may charge GST on Referral Fees in accordance with applicable law.
