Effective Date: 26 June, 2019
Last Revised: 3 September, 2024
Latest revisions take effect: 10 September, 2024
I. Starting promotional and recruitment activity
1. Partner program is available to any registered member and the participation does not require a prior approval by Us.
2. All new Portal members are provided with a unique referral link, full set of promotional media to unveil one's creativity and default rewarding rates for partners.
3.a) Generally, all members are allowed to invite up to 1 000 new users monthly without the necessity to engage in extra agreements with Survey Harbor.
3.b) However, members residing in the following countries have to obtain the status of a legal contractor (a private entrepreneur / solopreneur, an organization or special freelancer status) in order to recruit significant number of new members:
- Singapore;
- the United States of America;
In that case a contract should be made between Survey Harbor and the partner residing in the area mentioned above and acting in one of the legal statuses listed above accordingly.
3.c) If and when the Contract made individually for a partner enters into force, it replaces the present Terms and Conditions for Recruiters and the current Terms serve for the purposes of subsidiary regulations only.
3.d) The Members residing in the countries mentioned above precisely in the clause 3.b) can still invite limited amount of friends and relatives as long as the nature of such invitations is mostly a personal recommendation while the major amounts of redeemable Points are generated from the survey participation.
II. Partner reward
1. The Partner reward consists of two parts: fixed reward for each new user recruited and the revenue share (%) based on the earnings invitees receive for completing the surveys.
2. The Partner's reward is not subtracted from invitees' survey completion earnings and is credited additionally. Therefore, each survey respondent receives the same reward for any Portal activity no matter if the member is referred by someone or signed up independently.
3. The rates for both parts forming the Partner's income may be adjusted at our sole discretion depending on the Partner’s performance or due to a request and negotiations. The respective request may be initiated via the Portal contact form.
4. The reward rates for the invitee sign-up may differ depending on the country of the new member. Think about where most of the people you are able to recruit live. Then check your partner status if it is still default or already upgraded to premium. Then check how many points you are likely to receive for each invited user from a certain country and use the exchange rate in your personal account to figure its value in your national currency. The following grid applies:
| Country | Code | Default (Points) | Premium (Points) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Armenia | AM | 2 | 3 |
| Australia | AU | 3 | 5 |
| Austria | AT | 3 | 5 |

10. Starting with a default rates, Partner's traffic is sequentially analyzed by the algorithms We proudly invented to see which quality group it belongs to.
10.a) In case when Partner's invitees demonstrate excellent activity and involvement, the rate is pushed to Premium;
10.b) In case invitees demonstrate average activity and involvement, the rate remains default;
10.c) If invitees demonstrate poor activity and interest, Survey Harbor reserves the right to put the Partner's payout request on hold with all the Points preserved until later. Following mild penal policy towards the rules' breachers, Survey Harbor will subsequently offer the Partner with an inappropriate traffic to prove one's good intentions and improve the overall performance quality by sending better traffic. When such a Partner reaches the payout threshold, one may redeem the points again and trigger one's traffic scrutinized. Based on the results of the secondary quality check, a reasonable action will be applied to each of the Partner's payment request awaiting to be processed;
10.d) In case referred users show almost no activity or other patterns indicate fake / misled registrations, Survey Harbor reserves the right to nullify the payout request made by such Partner and reduce the rewards for sign-ups to the symbolic amounts. Nevertheless, Partner still remains subject to the complete revenue share when one's invitee takes a survey.
11. In case Partner generates most of one's referral activity in a country that Partner's account does not belong to, Survey Harbor reserves the right to enforce changing the country in the Partner's profile to the one most of the invitees come from. The additional information will be provided to a Partner's registered email address upon such an action taken.
III. Unacceptable Conduct
1. You as a recruiter undertake the obligation to share valid and faithful information about Our Project, potential benefits, terms of participation, etc.
2. We provide You with the referral link and a few sets of promotional creatives that can be found in the Personal Account area. Should You use Your own unique creatives, contact Us first and make sure We find such creatives to be appropriate.
3. We have zero tolerance towards SPAM. We reserve the right to nullify Your referral income or terminate the Account in case You are using forbidden methods of sending traffic or in any case cause damage to Our reputation.
4. Obviously, Partners are not allowed to generate new registrations by themselves, incentivize people to join the Project just to become listed as an invitee in the system, or by any other means provide unnatural traffic with no sincere intention of invited users to participate and use Survey Harbor Services.
