Station Automations Group LLC, a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1856 Branard St, Houston, TX 77098 ("Station," "we," "us"), and the individual or entity who signs this Agreement electronically ("Affiliate," "you") agree as follows, effective as of the date you sign it electronically (the "Effective Date").
This Agreement is effective as of 2026-08-09 and supersedes PARTNER_AGREEMENT_v3.md and all prior partner or affiliate terms between the parties, including the prior Track B (client-referral credit) and Track C (company/entity) programs, which are retired as of this Agreement.
Revised 2026-08-23 (v4.1): Section 7.1 payout cadence changed from monthly to every two weeks, and Section 6.3 aligned to it. No other term changed.
1.1 The Station Affiliate Program (the "Program") pays Affiliates for referring businesses that become paying Station clients. There are exactly two tracks. You are on one or the other — never both, never a hybrid, and never anything in between.
1.2 You do not choose your track and you cannot apply to be a Partner. Every Affiliate starts as a Scout on approval. Station moves an Affiliate to Partner, in its sole discretion, only after a direct conversation with that person — never through the self-serve application form, regardless of what that form is labeled at any given time.
1.3 The Program is open worldwide, subject to the tax-documentation requirements in Section 8 and to applicable law. Station may decline applicants from any jurisdiction where participation would be unlawful or impractical.
2.1 Scout enrollment is free and self-serve. You apply through the affiliate portal; Station reviews and approves or declines applications at its sole discretion. No call is required.
2.2 Partner status is never self-serve. Station extends it directly, after a conversation, to Scouts (or outside candidates) it determines are ready to close and manage their own client book. There is no form, waitlist, or automatic path to Partner status.
2.3 You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter this Agreement.
2.4 Station may decline or remove any Affiliate at its discretion — including for spam, misrepresentation, fraudulent referrals, or brand-damaging conduct.
2.5 No payout of any kind is made until your tax documentation is on file: a completed IRS Form W-9 for U.S. persons, or a completed IRS Form W-8BEN for non-U.S. individuals. Bounties and commission may accrue before your form is on file, but nothing is paid until it is.
3.1 On approval you receive a unique referral link and code. A referral is credited to you when a prospect arrives through your link (or is otherwise recorded to your code by Station's tracking).
3.2 Attribution is based on Station's tracking records; the most recent valid referral link is credited (last-touch). Station's records control.
3.3 Referrals must be genuine, arm's-length businesses. Self-referrals, fake or shell clients, and referrals of businesses you (or your entity's owners) own or control are not eligible for any bounty or commission. Violations are grounds for for-cause termination and forfeiture under Section 12.
3.4 Free trials. Station may offer a new client a free trial of 7, 14, or 30 days, at Station's sole discretion, decided case-by-case. No bounty and no commission is earned or payable on a client who is on a free trial. Payment obligations under this Agreement begin only once the trial period ends and the client's first payment actually clears.
4.1 A Scout earns a one-time, flat bounty — never a percentage, never recurring — for each product a client they referred purchases, payable once that client is live, paying, and (if they had a free trial) past the trial and on their first cleared payment.
4.2 The bounty schedule below is fixed by Station and may be updated prospectively under Section 14. It does not scale with the client's plan tier, the Scout's history, or referral volume — the amount shown is the amount paid, every time, per product, per client.
| Product | Bounty |
|---|---|
| Dial | $25 |
| Greet | $50 |
| Dispatch | $50 |
| Slate | $50 |
| Tap | $25 |
| Map | $100 |
| Marquee | $100 |
| Repute | $100 |
| Radar | $100 |
| Lineback | $100 |
| Pursuit | $100 |
| Frontdesk | $100 |
| Revive | $100 |
| Storefront — Basic ($500 build) | $250 |
| Storefront — Custom ($1,250 build) | $500 |
| Storefront — Enterprise ($10,000 build) | $2,000 |
| Core bundle | $300 |
| Pro bundle | $750 |
| Custom bundle | $1,000 |
4.3 If a single referred client purchases more than one product (at signup or later, so long as this Agreement remains in effect and the referral link/code attribution still applies), the Scout earns a separate bounty for each product. There is no cap on the number of bounties a Scout may earn.
4.4 A Scout's involvement with a referred client ends at the bounty. Scouts have no ongoing responsibility for a referred client's account, support, or upsells, and no claim to any future transaction with that client beyond the bounty(ies) already earned under this section.
5.1 When a Scout's referral becomes a warm lead — genuine interest, not merely a click — Station distributes that lead to a Partner, who closes and manages the resulting client relationship going forward. This is the normal operation of the Program, not an exception, and does not reduce or affect the Scout's bounty under Section 4.
5.2 Station currently assigns leads to Partners manually, at its sole discretion (by workload, fit, or any other basis Station chooses). Station may change how leads are assigned at any time under Section 14.
6.1 A Partner earns a flat 40% recurring commission, and nothing else — no bounty, no setup bonus, no tier to climb — on every client in that Partner's book, for as long as (a) the client remains an active, paying Station client, and (b) this Agreement remains in effect (Section 12).
6.2 Book of business. A client becomes part of a Partner's book when the Partner personally closes them, or when Station distributes a Scout-referred lead to that Partner under Section 5. Once a client is in a Partner's book, that Partner is responsible for the client's ongoing relationship — upsell conversations and general account inquiries that are not a technical break/fix — for as long as the client remains assigned to them.
6.3 This is an operational assignment, not an ownership interest. Every referred client contracts directly with Station, is billed by Station, and Station retains full and exclusive ownership of the client relationship, the underlying contract, and all client data. Nothing in this Section or this Agreement grants any Partner any legal, equitable, or proprietary interest in any client account, in Station's business, or in the "book of business" itself — it is a description of who is responsible for servicing an account and who is paid recurring commission on it, nothing more. Station may reassign a client's book-of-business assignment under Section 6.6 or on termination under Section 12.
6.4 One client, one Partner, one rate. Each client is assigned to exactly one Partner at a time. There is no sub-affiliate override and no stacking — the Program has no multi-level component of any kind.
6.5 Recurring commission is earned on cleared invoice amounts actually received by Station from the client, net of refunds and chargebacks — never on list price, quoted price, or projected amounts. If a client prepays annually (or for any multi-month period), the Partner's commission on that payment is spread over 12 equal monthly installments (or the number of months prepaid), paid on the normal payout cycle, not as a lump sum.
6.6 Leaving the Program. A Partner who wishes to leave must give Station written notice (email suffices). On receipt of that notice, the Partner's clients are redistributed — at Station's sole discretion, per Section 5.2 — to other Partners or retained in-house. Recurring commission for a departing Partner stops accruing on payments that clear after the notice takes effect; Section 12.2 (accrued-but-unpaid amounts) still applies.
7.1 Payouts are manual and run every two weeks, covering bounties and commissions that have cleared since the previous payout run, and are cross-checked against cleared Stripe payment records before release.
7.2 The payout minimum is $50 accrued (bounties and commission are combined toward this minimum if an Affiliate has both). Balances below the minimum roll forward without expiring (subject to Sections 8 and 12).
7.3 No payout is made until your tax form is on file per Section 2.5 (W-9 for U.S. persons; W-8BEN for non-U.S. individuals). Station will issue IRS Form 1099 (or apply withholding) where required by law.
7.4 You are responsible for your own income taxes, self-employment taxes, and any other taxes on amounts paid to you.
8.1 If a client's payment is refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed, the related bounty or commission is reversed and deducted from the Affiliate's accrued balance or next payout. If no balance remains, Station may invoice the Affiliate for the difference.
8.2 If a client cancels within their first 30 days of paying (after any free trial), the related bounty or commission may be withheld until Station confirms the payment has finally cleared and will not be reversed.
9.1 FTC disclosure. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to Station (e.g., "I earn a bounty/commission if you sign up through my link") in every endorsement, review, post, or recommendation, in compliance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and equivalent laws in your jurisdiction.
9.2 No spam. You may not send unsolicited bulk email, texts, or calls to promote Station. All email promotion must comply with CAN-SPAM; all calls and texts must comply with the TCPA and applicable state telemarketing laws.
9.3 You must describe Station and its pricing accurately, must not make earnings or outcome guarantees on Station's behalf, must not bid on Station's brand or trademarked terms in paid search, must not impersonate Station, and must not use deceptive or "fake urgency" tactics.
9.4 You may not offer unauthorized rebates, kickbacks, or side incentives funded from your bounty or commission without Station's prior written consent.
10.1 Station grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Station's name, logo, and approved marketing materials solely to promote Station under this Agreement.
10.2 Station may revoke this license at any time on notice. On termination or revocation you must promptly stop all use of Station's marks and materials. All goodwill from your use of the marks inures to Station.
11.1 You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship. You are not entitled to any employee benefits and are solely responsible for your own expenses, insurance, and taxes.
11.2 You have no authority to bind Station. You may not sign contracts, quote non-published or custom pricing, accept payments, make commitments, or incur obligations on Station's behalf, and you must not represent otherwise.
12.1 This Agreement runs from the Effective Date until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time, with or without cause, by written notice (email suffices) — see also Section 6.6 for the Partner-specific book-of-business handling on exit.
12.2 On termination: Station will pay out all bounties and commission accrued on cleared payments through the termination date (once above the $50 minimum or on the final payout, whichever Station elects, and subject to Sections 2.5 and 8). Ongoing recurring commission ends when the partnership ends — no commission accrues on any payment cleared after the termination date, even from clients you referred or previously managed. There is no post-termination commission tail.
12.3 If Station terminates for cause — fraud, fake or self-referrals, spam, material breach, or brand-damaging conduct — accrued but unpaid amounts may be forfeited in addition to any other remedy.
12.4 On termination you must stop using your referral link, Station's marks, and all Program materials. Sections 8, 10.2, 11, 13, 15, 16 survive termination.
13.1 Any non-public information you learn about Station, its clients, its pricing internals, or the Program's operations is confidential. You will not use or disclose it except as needed to perform under this Agreement, and this obligation survives termination.
13.2 Your dashboard shows aggregate counts (clicks, leads, clients) for your own referrals only. Partners servicing an assigned book may see that book's client contact information as needed to perform Section 6.2, and must handle it in accordance with applicable privacy law and Section 13.1.
14.1 Station may update the Program and this Agreement's terms with 30 days' written notice (email or portal posting suffices). Your continued participation after the notice period is acceptance of the updated terms; if you do not accept, your remedy is to terminate under Section 12.
14.2 Rate changes are prospective only. No change to the bounty schedule, commission rate, or Program structure reduces any bounty or commission already accrued on payments that cleared before the change took effect.
15.1 The Program is provided "as is." Station does not guarantee any volume of referrals, conversions, or earnings.
15.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, and Station's total aggregate liability under this Agreement is limited to the bounties and commission properly owed and unpaid to you at the time the claim arises.
16.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts rules. Exclusive venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts sitting in Harris County, Texas, and each party consents to that jurisdiction.
16.2 You may not assign this Agreement without Station's written consent; Station may assign it to a successor of the business. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands. This Agreement is the entire agreement about the Program and supersedes all prior partner or affiliate terms except as stated in the preamble. Notices go to the email address on your affiliate account (email suffices) or, for Station, to main@station.solutions.
This Agreement is executed electronically. When Station approves your application you will receive it by email through Station’s contract system, where you sign and, if you have not already, attach your tax form (IRS Form W-9 for U.S. individuals, W-8BEN for non-U.S. individuals). No payout is made until both are on file — see Sections 2.5 and 7.3.
The countersigned copy is returned to the email address on your affiliate account. This page remains the reference text of the Agreement you signed.
