Ambassador Agreement

This agreement is going to help us work together in a way we can both benefit. Win-win for the win! This agreement is intentionally written in plain English. We think the impenetrable lawyer-speak of modern contracts inhibits understanding, cooperation and mutual benefit, which helps no one (except the lawyers). We want what’s best for both of us, now and in the future, and we think plain English agreements help achieve that. In short, the purpose of this agreement is simple: You are going to recommend Scribe Media to people we don't already know, in the hopes that they sign with us as paying clients. If they sign, we are going to pay you a referral fee, starting at $1,000 per referral, and escalating according to the terms below. This is the official record of our agreement, and it lays out what we can both expect, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong.

1. Making a Referral

After you join the Scribe Ambassador Program, you will receive a share link which is a unique trackable URL assigned to each Ambassador. When someone clicks on your share link, they will be taken to the Scribe website where they can sign up for a consultation with our Author Strategy team.

In order to receive credit for your referral, you MUST use your unique URL to make the introduction. It is how we know the referral came from you. If we’re unable to attribute the referral to you, you will not be paid.

Some options for sharing your link include:

1. Connect your referral with our Author Strategy team (ambassadors@scribemedia.com) via email. Please use the intro email template provided to you and be sure to include your unique URL.
2. Send the person you want to refer your unique link, which will prompt them to schedule a call with one of our Author Strategists.
3. Share your unique link on your personal website, blog, newsletter, social media channels, or anywhere else you have peer connections that could benefit from sharing their wisdom with the world by writing and publishing their book.

Don’t worry if your referral doesn’t sign up immediately! A 30-day tracking cookie is placed on their device after they click your link. This cookie helps us know that you referred the visitor and links them back to your account when they sign up for a consultation.

2. Promotional Materials

We provide a variety of resources to help new and existing Ambassadors thrive in the Scribe Ambassador program.

3. Intellectual Property

Since all promotional materials are made by us, we retain all the rights, ownership, and all that good stuff. Should be pretty obvious.

4. Relationship of Parties

Even though we like you very much, we aren't getting married. We like to keep things casual (at least, as casual as possible when agreements are involved). Nothing in this agreement or relationship created any employment relationship, agency relationship, or formal partnership between us. You are an independent contractor, who gets money when you help people find us and decide to buy our services.

5. Commission Structure

Commissions are paid as flat fees on our core services as outlined below:

• Scribe Elite Ghostwriting

  | $12,000 commission

• Scribe Professional

  | $4,000 commission

• Scribe Guided Author

  | $3,000 commission

• Scribe Publishing

  | $1,000 commission

We reserve the right to change the commission structure at any time, with or without notice. Referral payments are only made after the referred client has fully paid for their Scribe Media services. If your referral changes or cancels their agreement with Scribe after you’ve already been paid a referral fee, we reserve the right to deduct the overpaid amount from future commissions.

5.1 Author Discounts

Ambassadors only receive rewards on authors who sign agreements with standard pricing. If an author receives a discount, the ambassador will not be eligible for the referral fee.

5.2 Multiple Ambassadors

In the event that multiple ambassadors refer the same author, the referral fee will be awarded to the ambassador whose referral was submitted properly and received first by Scribe Media. Subsequent referrals for the same author by other ambassadors will not be eligible for the referral fee. Only one Ambassador shall be paid per referred Author.

6. Payment Terms

You only get paid if we get paid. If you send us lots of referrals with no clients who sign up and pay, then we can't give you any money. But we will still be appreciative!

7. NO SPAM

Definitely don't spam anyone to promote us, or do anything like that, legal or illegal. We consider spamming to be things like sending unsolicited bulk emails to people you don't know, or in any way annoying people with media that they don't want or care about. We want connections to people you know, and/or promotion to an audience that has given you permission to contact it. That's it.

8. No Ads

Please do not buy ads in any form to drive leads to us. This is totally against the point of the Ambassador Program.

9. Termination

Either of us can terminate this agreement at any time and for any reason. If we terminate it, we will still pay you any referral fees you are due that are outstanding from authors you referred to us. But if the agreement is terminated, then we will NOT pay you for any future referrals that come in past the termination date, even if they are from you.

10. Other Legal Stuff

This is just making sure you certify that you have the legal ability to enter into this agreement, you aren't some awful evil person that no one reasonable should ever interact with in their life. Also, you promise that you won't talk bad about us, and that you'll generally make your best effort to talk about us in the way we like, which is generally positive. Also, if you get sued because of something you did around promoting us, you agree that it's not our fault and you take responsibility for your own actions.
