Partner Terms
- Signing up is free. You accept these terms online when you do.
- Agencies buy jobs for their clients at a wholesale price and bill them themselves. Everyone else sends customers who pay us, and earns a share once the customer accepts the work.
- The Scan API is billed per scan, monthly, after a free allowance.
- Only scan apps you, or your client, own or are authorised to test.
- No exclusivity, either way. Either of us can end the partnership with 30 days’ notice.
1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between the company you sign up for (“you”, the “partner”) and Variant Work Consulting Agency S.L. (“Variant Work”, “we”, “us”), Via Laietana, 39, Planta 2, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. They add to our Terms of Service, which apply to every scan and job, including those you send us. Where the two differ on a partner matter, these terms win.
By signing up you confirm you may bind the company you name, and that it acts in the course of its business.
2. Partner types
- Agencies that ship AI-built apps submit jobs for their clients, through the white-label portal or the Scan API, and pay the wholesale price for each job.
- AI coding platforms, hosting providers and software vendors send customers with their referral link, the “Check your app” button or the Scan API. The customer buys from us at our published prices; you earn a referral share.
We may change your type if it no longer describes how you work with us, with 30 days’ notice.
3. Referral links and the button
- Your link (and the button) carry your partner id. A customer is credited to you when their account is created from your link within 30 days of their first visit, provided they allowed cookies or arrived straight on the scan form. The first partner to bring an account keeps it.
- Your share is earned on what a credited customer pays for a job, before VAT, once they accept the work, and is paid to your Stripe Connect account. Nothing is earned on refunded jobs. The share and any fixed fee per service are shown in your partner dashboard and can change for future jobs with 30 days’ notice.
- Don’t bid on our brand name in search ads, send unsolicited email, or describe our services in a way that isn’t accurate.
4. Wholesale jobs (agencies)
- Jobs you submit for your clients are quoted at the wholesale price shown in your partner dashboard, for apps inside our supported matrix. Apps outside it, or above the small tier, go to a paid assessment as they would for anyone.
- You pay for each job before work starts, by card or with retainer credits. You invoice your client yourself and are responsible for that relationship.
- A retainer is a monthly subscription for a fixed number of jobs. Unused jobs expire as shown when you subscribe.
- The guarantee, scope, review and delivery rules in our Terms of Service apply to wholesale jobs. A refund under the guarantee goes to whoever paid: you.
5. The white-label portal
- You may run the scan and portal on your own domain with your name and colours. You must own or control the domain, and keep its DNS pointing at us while you use it.
- Your clients deal with you. You provide their terms and privacy notice, and answer their questions; the portal sends anything it can’t answer to the support address you give us.
- For your clients’ data you are the controller (or their processor) and we are your processor, under the Data Processing Agreement, which you accept for them with these terms.
- Some third-party screens still show our name, such as the GitHub app a client installs for delivery. We tell you which in the dashboard.
6. The Scan API
- Keep your keys secret and revoke a key you think has leaked. You are responsible for scans made with your keys.
- Each month’s scans beyond the free allowance are billed per scan, after the month ends, to the billing details you give us, with VAT where it applies. The allowance and the price per scan are shown in your partner dashboard and can change with 30 days’ notice.
- We rate-limit the API to keep it working for everyone. Requests over a limit are refused, not queued.
- Scan reports are automated assessments, as in our Terms of Service. Show them to the app’s owner as they are; don’t present them as your own audit or as a certification.
7. Fees and payment
Prices exclude VAT, which is added where it applies. Card payments and invoices are handled by Stripe. Referral shares are paid through Stripe Connect; you need a verified Connect account to receive them, and shares wait for you until you have one.
8. No exclusivity
Neither of us is exclusive to the other. We may work with other partners in your market, and you may work with other providers.
9. Term and ending
- The partnership starts when you sign up and runs month to month. Either of us may end it with 30 days’ notice by email.
- We may suspend it straight away if you break these terms, misuse the API or scan apps without permission. Suspended keys stop working and new referrals are not credited.
- Jobs already paid are finished under our Terms of Service. Shares already earned are paid.
10. Liability
Our liability to you is capped as in our Terms of Service: for a job, at what was paid for it; for the Scan API, at what you paid us for scans in the three months before the claim.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. We will email you 30 days before a change that affects you takes effect, and ask you to accept the new version in the dashboard. Spanish law applies, and the courts of Barcelona have jurisdiction, as in our Terms of Service.
