2. REFERRAL SERVICES
2.1 Scope of Authority; Independent Contractor Status. With respect to Referral Services, your sole authority shall be to (a) market and promote Flowspace Services as set forth in these Terms, and (b) provide sales leads to Flowspace. Flowspace will directly enter into agreements with Flowspace customers for the provision of Flowspace Services to such customers. You are an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, or partner of Flowspace. You have complete control over your own methods, time, and manner of performing Referral Services. You are free to participate in other referral, marketing, or business programs, including those of Flowspace’s competitors. Flowspace does not control, and has no right to control, the manner or means by which you perform Referral Services. You are solely responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and business expenses. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, and you expressly waive any claim that you are an employee of Flowspace.
2.2 Restrictions. You shall not:
(a) sell, resell, distribute, license or sublicense the Flowspace Services directly to any Sales Lead, but will instead refer all Sales Leads to Flowspace;
(b) make any statements concerning the Flowspace Services that are false, misleading or inconsistent with the Flowspace Materials or other materials (including price lists) published or otherwise supplied by Flowspace from time to time;
(c) make any commitments, warranties or guarantees to Sales Leads with respect to the Flowspace Services, the pricing thereof, or your relationship with Flowspace; or
(d) distribute any unsolicited bulk e-mails (spam) mentioning or referring to Flowspace or the Flowspace Services.
2.3 Prohibited Referrals. You may not refer yourself or any business in which you are an employee, contractor, officer, director, owner, partner, co-founder, or in which you hold a significant equity or ownership interest. Flowspace reserves the right to disqualify any referral that it determines, in its sole discretion, constitutes a self-referral or involves a conflict of interest.
2.4 Sales Lead Acceptance and Referral Acknowledgment. Following your submission of a Sales Lead to Flowspace at https://flow.space/customer-referral-program/, Flowspace will review the Sales Lead and attempt to obtain a Referral Acknowledgment from the Sales Lead. A Sales Lead must become an Eligible Referral within one (1) month of submission to qualify for any fees or bonuses. No fee shall be payable for any Sales Lead where: (i) the Sales Lead denies knowing you or denies having a relationship with you; (ii) the Sales Lead denies consenting to being contacted by Flowspace; (iii) the Sales Lead fails to respond to Flowspace’s attempts to obtain a Referral Acknowledgment; or (iv) Flowspace determines, in its sole discretion, that the referral was not made in good faith or does not meet the requirements of these Terms. Flowspace’s determination regarding whether a Sales Lead qualifies as an Eligible Referral, including whether a valid Referral Acknowledgment has been obtained, is final and binding and shall not be subject to dispute or appeal. If Flowspace notifies you that a Sales Lead is not an Eligible Referral, you will immediately cease all Referral Services with respect to that Sales Lead. If Flowspace notifies you that a Sales Lead is a potential Eligible Referral, at Flowspace’s request, you shall discuss each Sales Lead in reasonable detail with Flowspace and assist Flowspace in making contact with the Sales Lead by arranging an introduction, meeting, conference call, or other communication.
2.5 No Binding Authority. You have no authority to (i) negotiate any contract for or on behalf of Flowspace, or (ii) bind Flowspace to any contract, representation or understanding concerning Flowspace or the Flowspace Services.
2.6 Disclosure of Referral Relationship; FTC Compliance. It is your sole responsibility to disclose the nature of your financial relationship with Flowspace to any Sales Leads and potential customers. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you may receive compensation from Flowspace if the Sales Lead becomes a Flowspace customer. Such disclosure must be made: (a) at or before the time you make the referral; (b) in any written or electronic communications about Flowspace; and (c) in any social media posts or online content promoting Flowspace. A compliant disclosure includes language such as: “I may receive compensation if you become a Flowspace customer.” You shall indemnify and hold harmless Flowspace against any liability arising from your failure to make proper disclosures as required by this Section or by applicable law.
2.7 Anti-Spam Policy; CAN-SPAM Compliance. You will not use spam e-mail or other forms of internet abuse (including spamming forums, blogs, twitter, facebook and other social media outlets) to seek referrals. You will perform your activities hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws (including the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003) and any other Federal Trade Commission laws or regulations. You will only send e-mails containing a link or message regarding Flowspace’s products and services to person(s) who have been previously contacted and who have consented to receiving such information. Any promotional emails you send regarding Flowspace must: (a) include a clear and conspicuous opt-out mechanism; (b) include your valid physical mailing address; (c) accurately identify you as the sender; and (d) not contain deceptive subject lines or header information. Flowspace may investigate any of your conduct and, at its sole discretion and with or without cause or prior notice, terminate your participation. In addition, you will indemnify and hold harmless Flowspace against any liability arising from your breach of any obligation, representation or warranty under this Section 2. If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please forward all relevant evidence to our customer service department at [email protected].
2.8 Privacy Policy; CCPA/CPRA Compliance. You acknowledge and agree that your participation in the Referral Program, including information transmitted to or stored by Flowspace, is governed by the Flowspace Privacy Policy found at www.flow.space/privacy, as may be updated. With respect to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you represent and warrant that: (a) you have provided any required privacy notices to Sales Leads before submitting their personal information to Flowspace; (b) you have obtained any consents required under applicable privacy laws to share the Sales Lead’s personal information with Flowspace; (c) you have not sold the personal information of Sales Leads to Flowspace within the meaning of the CCPA/CPRA; (d) you will respond to and honor any consumer rights requests (including requests to delete, correct, or know) that relate to personal information you collected; and (e) you will cooperate with Flowspace in responding to any privacy-related inquiries or requests from Sales Leads. You shall indemnify and hold harmless Flowspace from any claims, fines, or penalties arising from your violation of applicable privacy laws.
2.9 Warm Introduction Requirement. To qualify for any fees under this Referral Program, you must provide a Warm Introduction connecting Flowspace with the Sales Lead. A “Warm Introduction” means a personal introduction made by you that directly connects the Sales Lead with Flowspace, which may include: (a) an email introduction where you copy both Flowspace and the Sales Lead’s Decision-Maker; (b) a three-way phone call or video conference between you, the Sales Lead’s Decision-Maker, and Flowspace; (c) a forwarded email thread demonstrating your existing relationship with the Sales Lead and their interest in Flowspace Services; or (d) another form of direct, personal introduction approved by Flowspace in writing. Submitting contact information alone, without a Warm Introduction, does not qualify for any fees. Flowspace reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a valid Warm Introduction has been provided.
2.10 TCPA Compliance. You represent and warrant that, prior to submitting any Sales Lead to Flowspace, you have obtained the Sales Lead’s prior express consent to be contacted by Flowspace and its representatives by telephone (including calls made using an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded voice), text message, and email. You understand that Flowspace may contact Sales Leads using automated systems, and you represent that you have informed the Sales Lead of this possibility and obtained their consent. You shall indemnify and hold harmless Flowspace from any claims, fines, or penalties arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), state telemarketing laws, or any similar statutes resulting from your failure to obtain proper consent.
3. FEES AND PAYMENT
3.1 Standard Fees for Eligible Referrals.
(a) Flat Fee. Flowspace will pay you a Flat Fee of five hundred dollars ($500) for each Eligible Referral that meets the definition of Eligible Referral, including the Warm Introduction and Referral Acknowledgment requirements. Payment of the Flat Fee does not require that the Eligible Referral enter into an agreement for Flowspace Services or become a paying customer.
(b) Referral Fee. If an Eligible Referral becomes a paying customer of Flowspace within 180 days of the initial meeting discussed in Section 1.2, Flowspace will pay you a Referral Fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the gross revenue actually received by Flowspace from that Eligible Referral, subject to the following:
(i) the Eligible Referral must pay Flowspace for at least ninety (90) days;
(ii) the Referral Fee will be paid for up to twelve (12) months from the date the Eligible Referral first inbounds goods;
(iii) Referral Fees are paid only on funds actually received by Flowspace, not on billed amounts; and
(iv) the aggregate total of all Flat Fees, Promotional Bonuses, and Referral Fees payable to you for any single Eligible Referral will not exceed thirty thousand five hundred dollars ($30,500).
3.2 Promotional Period Bonus (December 9, 2025 – January 31, 2026). During the Promotional Period, the following enhanced rewards structure applies:
(a) Promotional Bonus Structure. For every three (3) Sales Leads that are submitted during the Promotional Period and become Eligible Referrals within one (1) month of submission, you will receive a total of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for those three Eligible Referrals (representing the three standard Flat Fees of $500 each, plus a Promotional Bonus of $3,500). Sales Leads that are submitted during the Promotional Period but do not become Eligible Referrals within one (1) month of submission will not count toward the Promotional Bonus.
(b) Additional Referrals. If you submit additional Sales Leads during the Promotional Period that become Eligible Referrals but do not complete a set of three, you will receive the standard Flat Fee of five hundred dollars ($500) for each such Eligible Referral.
(c) Promotional Bonus Cap. The maximum total Promotional Bonuses (excluding standard Flat Fees and Referral Fees) that you may earn during the Promotional Period is ten thousand dollars ($10,000). This cap applies regardless of the number of accounts, email addresses, or entities through which you submit referrals. Any attempt to circumvent this cap by submitting referrals through multiple accounts, aliases, or related entities will result in disqualification and forfeiture of all fees.
(d) Revenue Share. In addition to the Flat Fees and Promotional Bonus described above, you will continue to earn the standard Referral Fee of 1.5% of gross revenue actually received when your Eligible Referrals become paying Flowspace customers, subject to the terms in Section 3.1(b).
(e) Pre-Promotion Referrals. Sales Leads submitted before December 9, 2025 do not count toward the Promotional Bonus, regardless of when they become Eligible Referrals.
(f) Promotional Period Expiration. The Promotional Period ends on January 31, 2026. Sales Leads submitted after the Promotional Period will be subject to the standard fee structure in Section 3.1 and will not qualify for the Promotional Bonus.
3.3 Payment. All payments under these Terms will be made by check to the address you provide. Flowspace reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delay payment of any Flat Fees, Promotional Bonuses, and Referral Fees until as late as December 31, 2026. Flowspace shall pay you the Referral Fee on a quarterly basis within 45 days after receiving payment from each Eligible Referral; provided that the Eligible Referral has been a paying Flowspace customer for a minimum of 90 days. The Flat Fee for each Eligible Referral becomes payable upon Flowspace’s written confirmation that all requirements in Section 1.2 have been satisfied, including the Warm Introduction and Referral Acknowledgment. Any Promotional Bonus shall be paid following confirmation that all qualifying Eligible Referrals have been accepted. Any claim for unpaid Referral Fees, Flat Fees, or Promotional Bonuses must be submitted in writing within ninety (90) days after the end of the quarter in which such fees were payable, or it is waived.
3.4 Requirements for Payment; Tax Compliance. In order to receive the applicable fees under these Terms, you must submit to Flowspace a completed IRS Form W-9 by e-mail to [email protected]. Flowspace will not process any payment until a valid W-9 is on file. If a valid W-9 remains outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the date when an applicable fee is due to you, then your right to receive such applicable fee will be forever forfeited. You agree to provide accurate taxpayer identification information and acknowledge that Flowspace will comply with all applicable tax reporting and withholding requirements. You are solely responsible for any taxes owed on fees received under these Terms and for obtaining any tax advice you may need regarding your participation in the Referral Program.
3.5 Clawback and Forfeiture. If Flowspace determines, at any time, that you obtained any fee through fraud, misrepresentation, or violation of these Terms, Flowspace may, in addition to any other remedies available: (a) immediately terminate your participation in the Referral Program; (b) forfeit any unpaid fees; and (c) require you to repay any fees previously paid to you. This right of clawback shall survive termination of these Terms and shall have no time limitation.
3.6 Force Majeure. Flowspace shall not be liable for any delay or failure in payment due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, epidemic, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, earthquakes, accidents, strikes, labor disputes, shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor, or materials, failure of telecommunications or information systems, banking system failures, government actions or orders, or any other event beyond Flowspace’s reasonable control. In the event of such delay, Flowspace’s payment obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.
