Affiliate terms
- Standard rates are 15% of tradie membership revenue, 20% of personal-customer booking-fee revenue and 25% of Property & Facilities membership and booking-fee revenue. Partner and Elite tiers increase each category. Rates are calculated on Knut revenue excluding GST where applicable. Commission applies to eligible revenue from accounts that sign up within 60 days of clicking your link, for their first 12 months. Boost and advertising are not included.
- If someone clicks more than one affiliate's link, the most recent click counts. Once an account signs up, it stays yours.
- Commission is confirmed 30 days after each payment. Refunded payments earn no commission, and a refund after payout is deducted from your next payout.
- Raw signups never earn commission. Referred tradies and business accounts must pass Knut verification, and booking-fee commission is not released until the referred work is completed and clear of an active dispute or refund.
- No commission on your own accounts or your own organisation's bookings. Commission from accounts that share your business email domain is held for review.
- You must clearly disclose that you may earn a commission whenever you share your link or make a promotional endorsement.
- No spam: never email or message people who have not agreed to hear from you (Spam Act 2003). No paid search ads on the name "Knut".
- Never promise discounts, prices or outcomes Knut does not offer.
- Knut may pause or end an affiliate account that breaks these terms, and withhold commission earned in breach of them.
