Appendix 2 – Partner Program Terms

1We believe in making it simple

Crystallize makes things simple. Delivering value is core not only for the software, but also for our partner program. We only have one partner level. No sign up fees are required in order to become a partner.

2Commission

In return for your unassisted sale of Crystallize, we will pay you this sales commission:

  • 20% on first years’ paid customer subscription fee for each customer you bring to Crystallize, plus
  • 10% of paid customer subscription fee for the duration of the time that the customer remains a Crystallize subscriber.

If a sale takes place based on a customer lead you have received from us, there will be no commission. However, you will keep all revenue from your own implementation services supplied to the customer.
