1. Your role and Whitmore's responsibility
This referral agreement is between Whitmore AI, Inc. (Whitmore) and you, or the company you are authorized to represent as identified in this application. You introduce prospective clients to Whitmore. Whitmore takes full responsibility for discovery, proposals, scope, pricing, the client contract, implementation, project management, and the support agreed with the client. Clients contract directly with Whitmore. You have no delivery obligations and no authority to bind Whitmore, quote prices, make guarantees, or collect money on its behalf.
2. Joining the program
You do not need AI engineering experience, an existing client lead, or a minimum number of referrals. There is no joining fee, minimum commitment, or exclusivity. You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. A company applicant must have authority to sign for that company. The agreement starts when Whitmore successfully records your signed application. Participation does not guarantee that Whitmore will accept a particular referral or project.
3. Introducing a client and establishing attribution
With the prospective client's permission, send a warm email introduction to hello@heywhitmore.ai using the email address in this application. Include the business, contact, and a brief description of the need. Whitmore confirms eligible referrals and attribution in writing before accepting a project. Existing clients, opportunities already in Whitmore's active pipeline, self-referrals, and duplicate introductions are excluded unless Whitmore agrees otherwise in writing. Where more than one person introduces the same opportunity, the first eligible introduction accepted in writing by Whitmore receives attribution. A referral must result in a client engagement within six months of that written acceptance; otherwise, ask Whitmore to reconfirm it.
4. Your 10% commission
For an accepted referral that becomes a paying client, Whitmore pays you 10% of eligible service fees actually received from that referred client during the 12 months beginning with the client's first payment to Whitmore. This includes the first project, repeat projects, and recurring service fees collected within that same period. The period does not restart for each project, and there is no lifetime commission. Eligible fees exclude sales tax, VAT, refunds, credits, chargebacks, reimbursed expenses, and separately identified third-party or pass-through costs such as software subscriptions, advertising spend, and hosting. Whitmore's own delivery costs are not deducted from eligible service fees. No commission is due on unpaid invoices.
5. Statements and payment
Whitmore provides a monthly commission statement and pays amounts due within 30 days after the end of the month in which eligible client payment clears. Before the first payout, you must provide appropriate payment details, any legally required tax information, and an invoice where required. If those details are incomplete, payment is held until they are provided. Commission is calculated and paid in the currency in which Whitmore receives the eligible service fees, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You are responsible for your taxes; legally required withholding will be shown on the statement. Refunded or charged-back fees reverse the associated commission and may be offset against a later payout. Tell Whitmore about any statement discrepancy promptly so we can resolve it together.
6. Independent referrals and confidentiality
You act independently. This agreement does not create employment, a legal partnership, an agency relationship, a reseller arrangement, or work under your brand. Do not use Whitmore's name or logo to imply authority beyond making introductions, send spam, or disclose a prospect's information without permission. Disclose your referral compensation to the prospective client where required and do not accept prohibited payments or violate duties to an employer or client. Both sides keep nonpublic business information confidential. Whitmore will not publicly list you as a partner or contact your current businesses to verify your application without your agreement. Your application and signed agreement are stored privately for program administration as described in Whitmore's privacy policy at https://heywhitmore.ai/privacy.
7. Ending participation and changes
Either side may end participation by email at any time. Ending participation does not remove commission owed on referrals already accepted in writing, including eligible repeat work within their original 12-month periods. No new referrals are accepted after termination. Changes to the commission rate, eligibility, or payment terms require written agreement; a later website update does not rewrite a signed version. Neither side promises a minimum volume of introductions or engagements. This agreement is governed by North Carolina law, subject to any mandatory law that applies. Contact hello@heywhitmore.ai to resolve questions or arrange a written amendment.
8. Electronic signature and your copy

You confirm you have read these terms and the linked privacy policy. You can download the terms before signing and your signed record after a successful submission. Whitmore retains the accepted terms version, the exact terms text, your application details, your typed signature, your agreement and authority confirmations, and the recorded signing time.
