Sprintlaw Partner Program - Terms and Conditions

See also: Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 May 2026

Welcome to Sprintlaw's Partner Program ("Program"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between the organisation or individual accepting these Terms ("Partner", "you") and the applicable Sprintlaw entity ("Sprintlaw", "we", "our", "us"), being:

• Sprintlaw Pty Ltd (ABN 61 616 847 093) for Partners located in Australia or New Zealand; or
• Sprintlaw (UK) Ltd (company number 12872061) for Partners located in the United Kingdom or Europe.

The applicable Sprintlaw entity will be determined based on the Partner's primary place of business or as otherwise specified by Sprintlaw.

By ticking the box to accept these Terms, you agree to participate in the Program in accordance with these Terms and any partnership details agreed between you and Sprintlaw.

1. Partnership Structure

1.1 Referral Program - Under the Program, Partners may refer potential clients to Sprintlaw in exchange for a referral fee as specified in these Terms or otherwise agreed between the Partner and Sprintlaw.

1.2 Tiering - You will be allocated a Partner Tier (e.g. Ready, Gold and Platinum) as mutually agreed between the Partner and Sprintlaw. Each tier may include different commercial benefits or marketing features, such as commission structures, partner discounts or promotional opportunities.

1.3 Minimum Activity - To maintain active partner status and any applicable discounts or benefits, you must meet the minimum referral threshold (if any) set out in your Partner Tier (for example, five referrals per quarter for the Gold Tier). Sprintlaw reserves the right to suspend or downgrade your partner tier if minimum activity levels are not met. For a referral to count towards the threshold, it must be a Qualified Referral, meaning a referral that results in Sprintlaw issuing a quote to the referred client.

1.4 Program Changes - Sprintlaw may update the structure, benefits or eligibility criteria of the Program from time to time. Where changes materially affect a Partner's benefits, Sprintlaw will notify the Partner.

2. Referral Benefits

2.1 Referral Fee or Client Discount -

1. For each new client successfully referred by you and accepted by Sprintlaw ("Referred Client"), Sprintlaw will pay the Partner a referral commission in accordance with the commission structure agreed in writing between the Partner and Sprintlaw (for example, a 10% commission to you, or a 5%/5% commission to you and discount for your client).
2. A client will be deemed successfully referred only once they have engaged Sprintlaw for a legal project and paid Sprintlaw's invoice for that project.
3. Any applicable referral fee or discount applies only to the first paid legal project that Sprintlaw completes for the Referred Client.

2.2 Qualifying Revenue - Referral fees are calculated based on revenue actually received by Sprintlaw for legal services (excluding GST, VAT or any similar sales tax, government fees and disbursements) and actually retained by Sprintlaw after any refunds or credits issued to the Referred Client.

If Sprintlaw issues a full or partial refund for a legal project after a referral fee has been paid, Sprintlaw may deduct or set off the refunded amount from any future referral fees payable to you, or require repayment of the overpaid portion if no further referral fees are due.

For clarity, referral fees will not be payable in respect of any Referred Client where Sprintlaw ultimately receives no payment for the relevant legal project.

2.3 Exclusions - Referral fees are not payable for:

• clients who were already engaged with or known to Sprintlaw before your introduction;
• referrals that do not result in paid legal work; or
• entities referred after the termination of your participation in the Program.

2.4 Reporting and Payment -

Referral fees will be paid in accordance with applicable tax and invoicing requirements in the relevant jurisdiction.

Sprintlaw may provide Partners with a referral summary from time to time setting out any referral fees payable.

Where the contracting entity is Sprintlaw Pty Ltd and the Partner is registered for GST in Australia, Sprintlaw may issue a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) in accordance with ATO requirements. By participating in the Program, the Partner agrees that:

• Sprintlaw may issue RCTIs in respect of any referral fees payable to the Partner;
• the Partner will not issue tax invoices for the same supplies unless requested by Sprintlaw;
• the Partner is registered for GST at the time of entering the Program and will notify Sprintlaw immediately if it ceases to be registered for GST;
• Sprintlaw and the Partner will comply with all relevant ATO requirements for issuing and retaining RCTIs; and
• if, for any reason, Sprintlaw is unable to issue an RCTI, Sprintlaw may request that the Partner issue a valid tax invoice (as applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) for the relevant referral fees, and Sprintlaw will pay that invoice within 30 days of receipt of a correctly rendered tax invoice or RCTI, as applicable.

2.5 Taxes -

Each party is responsible for its own tax obligations arising from referral fees received under these Terms. Unless otherwise stated, referral fees payable under these Terms are exclusive of GST, VAT or any similar sales tax.

3. Marketing and Use of Branding

3.1 Prior Consent Required - Neither party may use the other party's name, logo, trade marks or branding ("Marks") without the prior written consent of the Mark owner. Such consent may be given by email or other written communication and may be subject to conditions, including compliance with any brand guidelines provided by the Mark owner. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by providing written notice (including by email).

3.2 Scope of Permitted Use - Where consent has been granted under clause 3.1, the consenting party grants the other a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the relevant Marks solely for the purpose specified in the consent. Neither party may misrepresent the nature of the relationship.

3.3 Branding Resources - Sprintlaw may provide logos, branding guides and promotional materials through the Partner Portal. These materials must not be altered or used in a misleading or defamatory way.

3.4 Custom Landing Pages - Where a custom referral page is provided by Sprintlaw, it must only be used for legitimate referral purposes. Sprintlaw may remove or modify any page at any time at its discretion.

4. Partner Obligations

4.1 Accurate Representations - You must accurately describe Sprintlaw's services when referring potential clients and must not make any statement, promise, or representation that is false, misleading, or inconsistent with information provided by Sprintlaw.

4.2 Compliance with Law - You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including all applicable consumer protection laws and privacy and data protection laws, such as the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) in Australia and the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 where applicable.

4.3 Referral Fee Disclosure and Conflicts -

You acknowledge that referral fees, commissions or other benefits may need to be disclosed to Referred Clients under applicable laws, professional rules, fiduciary duties, anti-bribery or secret commission laws, consumer protection laws, or industry codes.

Where you refer a potential client to Sprintlaw and you receive, may receive, or are eligible to receive a referral fee, commission, discount, benefit or other incentive from Sprintlaw, you must clearly disclose that fact to the potential client before or at the time of making the referral.

If you act as an accountant, consultant, adviser, broker, agent, fiduciary or other trusted adviser to the potential client, you must ensure that the disclosure is sufficiently clear and prominent to allow the client to give informed consent to the referral arrangement.

Sprintlaw may provide suggested disclosure wording from time to time, but you remain responsible for ensuring your disclosure complies with all laws, professional obligations and industry requirements applicable to you.

You must not make any referral to Sprintlaw where doing so would breach any duty owed to the potential client, create an undisclosed conflict of interest, or involve any misleading, deceptive, unlawful, improper or corrupt conduct.

4.4 Privacy and Confidentiality -

1. When collecting or sharing client information, you must comply with Sprintlaw's Privacy Policy, available at:
   • https://sprintlaw.com.au/privacypolicy (Australia); and
   • https://sprintlaw.co.uk/privacypolicy (United Kingdom)
   as updated from time to time.
2. Sprintlaw will not disclose confidential client information to Partners except as permitted by law or with client consent.

4.5 Independent Relationship - Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship between Sprintlaw and the Partner. You have no authority to bind Sprintlaw or represent that you are its agent.

4.6 Conflicts - Sprintlaw reserves the right to decline or discontinue referrals where accepting them would create, or may reasonably be perceived to create, a conflict of interest with existing or prospective clients. Partners must not hold themselves out as acting on behalf of Sprintlaw, provide legal or professional advice in Sprintlaw's name, or make representations that suggest Sprintlaw has endorsed or approved their advice or services beyond the scope of this Program.

5. Term and Termination

5.1 Term - Your participation in the Program commences when you accept these Terms and continues until terminated.

5.2 Termination by Either Party - Either party may terminate participation in the Program at any time by providing written notice (including by email).

5.3 Consequences of Termination -

1. You will continue to receive referral fees for Referred Clients introduced prior to termination, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
2. You will not be entitled to any further referral fees or benefits after the date of termination.
3. Sprintlaw may disable access to any Partner Portal, landing page or marketing materials immediately upon termination.

5.4 Termination for Cause -

Notwithstanding the above, Sprintlaw may immediately suspend or terminate a Partner's participation in the Program, and withhold or cease payment of any referral fees (whether accrued or otherwise), if the Partner:

• breaches these Terms;
• engages in any misleading, deceptive or unlawful conduct;
• misuses Sprintlaw's intellectual property or confidential information;
• fails to make any required referral fee, commission, conflict or incentive disclosure to a potential client (or a Referred Client); or
• acts in a manner that Sprintlaw reasonably considers may damage Sprintlaw's reputation or relationships.

Any determination under this clause will be made in Sprintlaw's reasonable discretion.

6. Liability and Indemnity

6.1 Limitation of Liability - To the maximum extent permitted by law:

1. Sprintlaw's total aggregate liability to you under these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the total referral fees paid to you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; and
2. Sprintlaw is not liable for any loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data, or any indirect or consequential loss.

6.2 Indemnity - You indemnify Sprintlaw against any loss, claim, liability, cost or expense arising from your failure to comply with your disclosure, conflict of interest, anti-bribery, secret commission, consumer law, professional conduct or privacy obligations in connection with a referral.

7. General

7.1 Variation - Sprintlaw may update these Terms at any time by publishing an updated version on its website. Continued participation in the Program after publication of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.

• Where the contracting entity is Sprintlaw Pty Ltd, the laws of New South Wales, Australia apply.
• Where the contracting entity is Sprintlaw UK Ltd, the laws of England and Wales apply.

7.3 Entire Agreement - These Terms, together with any written communications from Sprintlaw confirming your tier or benefits, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sprintlaw in relation to your participation in the Program.
