Sales create commission. Recruitment does not.

1. Approval, activation and eligible referrals

A syntactically valid referral URL, assigned code or written approval does not by itself create a live commissionable path. Only a promoter that Solarc has provisioned and marked ACTIVE can become runtime-attributable. Solarc may withhold activation until the dedicated checkout and reconciliation references are correctly provisioned.

A qualifying referral must be a genuinely new buyer introduced through the ACTIVE promoter's distribution activity and must complete an eligible purchase through an attributable path. No commission is payable for a self-referral, a purchase by the promoter or its controlled entity, fabricated transactions, test payments, or a lead that Solarc can reasonably evidence was already in an active sales conversation during the 30 days before the referral.

Existing Solarc customers may apply as customer advocates. A purchase does not automatically enrol a customer into the programme, create a payout entitlement or make a referral code ACTIVE.

2. No recruitment or downline compensation

There is no recruitment commission, downline commission, override, team-volume payment or payment for promoter sign-up. Introducing another person to this programme has no commission value by itself. Commission is created only by an eligible directly attributable product sale.

If A refers B as a buyer and B later independently becomes an ACTIVE promoter who refers C, A may earn on B's eligible purchase and B may earn on C's eligible purchase. A earns nothing from C merely because A originally introduced B. The programme does not require an entry fee, inventory purchase, training purchase or Solarc purchase to participate.

3. Commission schedule and automatic active rate

• Partner: 30% of eligible net sales.
• First Win: the first eligible validated sale receives at least 40% where the product ceiling permits.
• Proven: 35% after 3 validated buyers, or €2,500 rolling eligible net sales with at least 2 buyers.
• Growth: 40% after 10 validated buyers, or €7,500 rolling eligible net sales with at least 3 buyers.
• Vanguard: 45% after 25 validated buyers, or €20,000 rolling eligible net sales with at least 5 buyers.
• Strategic: up to 50% only under a written product-specific agreement after quality and margin review; it is not an automatic tier.

Automatic performance tiers use the rolling 90-day validated buyer and eligible-net-sales record. The transaction that crosses an automatic threshold receives the newly reached active tier rate. Product ceilings always apply and already-approved historical commissions are not retroactively reduced because later rolling performance changes.

InvoiceBatch FR ceiling: the current commission ceiling is 45%. A Strategic agreement cannot silently override that product ceiling.

Solarc-authorised 10% partner buyer benefit: an eligible InvoiceBatch FR purchase through an ACTIVE promoter's provisioned path uses a dedicated Stripe checkout that applies the 10% buyer benefit. This buyer benefit is separate from commission. Commission is calculated afterward on eligible net sales.

4. Net sales, validation and payout

Eligible net sales means cash actually received by Solarc for the eligible product, excluding VAT or other transaction taxes, discounts, refunds, credits, chargebacks, disputed or fraudulent amounts and amounts later reversed.

A commission remains pending during a 30-day validation period after successful payment. Payment receipt does not by itself make commission payable. The payout engine derives the authorised automatic rate from validated programme performance; an operator-supplied tier does not create a higher entitlement. Approved commissions are reconciled monthly and paid on a Net 30 basis, subject to any reasonably required payout, identity, tax or invoice information.

If a refund, chargeback or other reversal happens after commission has been paid, Solarc may offset the corresponding overpayment against future commissions or request repayment where an offset is not reasonably available.

5. Attribution and optional affiliate storage

ACTIVE referral links use a unique referral code. Same-visit attribution may be carried through URL parameters. At checkout, a non-sensitive promoter reference may be passed to Stripe for reconciliation, and InvoiceBatch partner purchases may use a dedicated partner-specific Stripe Payment Link.

Persistent referral attribution is a separate optional affiliate purpose. The site may remember an approved referral for up to 180 days only when the visitor explicitly enables Affiliate referral attribution. Generic functional-preference consent does not authorise persistent affiliate tracking, and legacy preference records without that explicit affiliate choice are treated as affiliate consent off. If the visitor withdraws that choice, persistent referral attribution is cleared.

Attribution can be unavailable where a buyer blocks storage, removes parameters, changes devices or otherwise prevents the referral signal from reaching checkout. Where two ACTIVE promoters touch the same buyer, Solarc normally uses the most recent valid attributable interaction unless there is clear evidence of manipulation, an existing active sales relationship or a written promoter-specific arrangement.

6. Advertising disclosure and truthful claims

Promoters must make affiliate or advertising relationships obviously identifiable wherever applicable law, platform rules or advertising codes require it. They must not present paid affiliate promotion as independent consumer/editorial activity where the commercial relationship would otherwise be hidden.

France-facing commercial influence: where a promoter's compensated electronic promotion falls within the French commercial-influence regime and targets a public in France, the commercial intent must be made clear, readable and understandable on the relevant support. Where appropriate, use “Publicité”, “Collaboration commerciale” or an equivalent disclosure suited to the format. A percentage-of-sales commission does not turn a compensated promotion into independent editorial content.

Promoters may describe Solarc products accurately using current public material, but must not invent testimonials, customer logos, savings, acceptance rates, certifications, legal-compliance guarantees or government/Plateforme Agréée endorsements. Fake urgency, fabricated availability, fabricated earnings claims and deceptive social-proof counters are prohibited.

7. Conflicts of interest and prohibited influence

A promoter must disclose any relationship that could make a personal commission conflict with duties owed to the buyer, including being the buyer, controlling the buyer entity, acting as the buyer's employee or agent, participating in procurement or decision-making, or referring a public-sector organisation/public-official relationship.

Self or controlled-entity referrals are ineligible. A cash commission to an employee, agent, adviser, procurement participant or decision-maker for the buyer is placed on hold unless Solarc documents an appropriate legitimate and disclosed basis and any approval reasonably required from the employer, client or relevant organisation. Public-sector/public-official conflicts require manual review before any cash payout.

Promoters must not offer, request or conceal a commission as an improper inducement to influence a purchasing decision.

8. Prohibited acquisition methods

• No spam, unlawful electronic marketing, purchased-list blasting or abusive bulk direct messaging.
• No paid search or advertising that bids on Solarc, Solarc Labs, SOLARC GOODS LIMITED, product names, close misspellings or other Solarc brand terms without written approval.
• No domain impersonation, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden redirects, malware, adware or attribution manipulation.
• No unauthorised coupon distribution. The Solarc-authorised 10% InvoiceBatch FR buyer benefit may be promoted only through an ACTIVE, provisioned path and must not be represented as a general public coupon.
• No fake accounts, circular purchases or transactions whose main purpose is earning commission rather than genuine customer acquisition.

9. Customer relationship, independence and suspension

Promoters are independent businesses or individuals acting in their own capacity and are not employees, agents, franchisees or legal representatives of Solarc. A promoter cannot bind SOLARC GOODS LIMITED, promise custom scope, vary product terms, collect payment on Solarc's behalf or make warranties not published or agreed by Solarc.

Either side may stop participating. Solarc may immediately suspend/deactivate runtime attribution and dedicated checkout where there is suspected fraud, spam, misleading promotion, brand abuse, conflict risk, legal/platform risk or material breach. Legitimate commissions approved before termination remain payable unless the underlying transaction or conduct made them ineligible.

10. Records, tax, France-facing influence contracts and governing law

Each promoter is responsible for its own tax, accounting and reporting obligations on commission income. Solarc may retain payment and attribution records reasonably required for reconciliation, fraud prevention, accounting, disputes and legal obligations.

France-facing commercial-influence contract gate: if a campaign qualifies as commercial influence under French law and targets a public in France, Solarc and the promoter must complete any mandatory written-contract formalities before the affected activity proceeds. From 1 January 2026, the French Article 8 threshold is €1,000 excluding VAT or more when remuneration plus benefits in kind from the same advertiser during the same year relate to one service or set of services pursuing the same promotional objective. Where that rule applies, the written agreement must contain the mandatory party, mission, remuneration, rights/obligations and French-law information. These general programme terms do not claim to replace a campaign-specific agreement where French law requires one.

Promoters established outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland: where the promoter itself falls within the French commercial-influence regime and targets a public in France, activation is subject to any applicable French Article 9 requirement for a written representative in the European Union and professional civil-liability insurance with an insurer established in the European Union. Solarc may require evidence of these controls before making a referral path ACTIVE.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory rules that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory French rules where they apply to France-facing commercial-influence activity.
