Partner programme terms

Version 2026-11-04.3. Provider: Appsentials, owner Luis Benz, Comeniusstr. 4, 01307 Dresden, Germany, hello@monetais.de (“we”). These terms apply to everyone taking part in the Appsentials partner programme (“partner”). This is a translation; the German version prevails.

1. Participation

Adults and businesses can take part. Participation starts when we approve the partner; there is no right to be admitted.

The partner acts independently. They have no obligation to act and are not our commercial agent, employee or representative. They may not act or make statements on our behalf.

2. Commission

The partner receives 30% of the net app revenue we actually receive for a shop they referred. Net means after Shopify's revenue share and without VAT. The basis is the payments Shopify reports to us for subscriptions, one-time purchases and usage charges of our apps.

The commission applies to all of our apps the referred shop uses and has no time limit (“for life”) as long as the shop pays and the partnership exists. Trials and free plans earn no commission.

Refunds, credits and chargebacks to the shop reduce the commission earned by the refunded payment – at most by its amount and only if that payment earned a commission. If the commission was already paid out, the amount is set off against future commissions and appears as a negative line on the next credit note; a remaining negative balance is carried forward and never reclaimed, except in case of a breach of these terms or at the end of the partnership with a final settlement.

An individually agreed rate prevails. We will not lower the rate for shops already referred without the partner's consent.

3. Attribution of a shop

A shop counts as referred by the partner if the merchant enters their Shopify address or redeems the partner code on the page behind the referral link and the shop then installs one of our apps for the first time within 60 days. Time proximity between a click on the referral link and an install alone does not create an attribution.

If a merchant redeems the partner code only after installing, we review the attribution if the first install was no more than 14 days ago. If the partner (e.g. an agency) installs one of our apps in a client's shop themselves, they can report the shop in the partner area if the shop has been with us for at most 30 days; we review the report and confirm it at our discretion.

Commission is only paid for new customers. A shop that had already installed or paid for one of our apps before the time of attribution is not attributed. If this turns out later, the attribution lapses and unpaid commissions for that shop are cancelled.

The first partner counts (first touch). A confirmed attribution is never moved to another partner. We do not use cookies for attribution.

4. Advertising rules

In particular, the following is not allowed: (a) self-referral – shops the partner runs or holds a stake in; (b) search ads on “Appsentials”, our app names or confusingly similar terms (brand bidding), and domains or accounts that can be confused with our names; (c) unsolicited advertising by email, messenger or phone (spam); (d) automated or forced clicks, cookie stuffing and similar manipulation; (e) misleading statements, in particular promises such as “legally safe”, “warning-letter proof” or “guaranteed compliant”. Our apps are technical tools and do not replace legal advice.

The partner labels recommendations as advertising or affiliate links where required by law and follows the rules of the platforms they advertise on.

The partner may use our names, logos and screenshots only to recommend our apps under these terms.

In case of a breach, the commission for the affected shops is forfeited and we may terminate the partnership for cause (section 9).

5. Payout

The programme runs in euros. Commissions from payments in US dollars are converted at the European Central Bank euro reference rate of the payment date (days without a rate: the last published rate).

A commission becomes payable 30 days after the underlying payment (holding period for refunds). We pay out monthly once the payable commission reaches at least €50; smaller amounts carry over. Payouts are made by SEPA bank transfer or PayPal. Fees of the partner's payment provider are borne by the partner.

Each payout requires acceptance of these terms and complete, correct details in the partner area (name or company, address, country, tax details, bank account or PayPal).

While a partnership is paused, commissions keep accruing; they are paid out after reactivation.

6. Self-billing

The partner and we agree that we settle the commission by self-billing credit note (Gutschrift, sec. 14(2) sentence 2 German VAT Act). The partner does not issue their own invoice. Each credit note has a sequential number and is available in the partner area.

If the partner is subject to regular VAT in Germany, we additionally pay 19% VAT. For German small businesses (sec. 19 UStG) and private individuals no VAT is shown. For partners based outside Germany the reverse charge mechanism applies; we then account for the VAT.

The partner keeps their details up to date and reports changes (e.g. end of small-business status, new VAT ID) in the partner area right away. The partner is liable for the consequences of incorrect details.

The partner may object to a credit note; please report errors within 4 weeks. We will then correct it.

7. Taxes

The partner is responsible for the taxes on their income. Commissions paid to private individuals may also be taxable. Anyone earning commissions regularly may become a business for VAT purposes and will tell us. We do not give tax advice.

8. Data protection and confidentiality

Of referred shops, the partner only sees a running number, the first letters of the shop address, the apps used and whether the shop is active. They may use this only to check their commission and must not pass it on.

How we process data of partners and merchants is described in our privacy policy (section partner programme). Data the partner collects about merchants themselves is their own responsibility.

9. Term and termination

The partnership has no fixed term. The partner can terminate at any time (email is enough). We can terminate with 30 days' notice to the end of a month, and without notice for good cause, in particular a breach of section 4.

After the partnership ends, payments received afterwards earn no commission. Commissions earned until then are paid out within 60 days, even below €50 – except commissions based on a breach.

10. Changes

We may change these terms for the future. We announce changes by email at least 30 days in advance. If the partner disagrees, they can terminate before the change takes effect; for the next payout they must accept the new version in the partner area.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations, limited to the foreseeable, typical damage. We do not guarantee constant availability of referral links, partner area or attribution.

The partner indemnifies us against third-party claims based on their unlawful advertising, including reasonable legal defence costs.

12. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection rules of the country of residence remain unaffected. Place of jurisdiction is Dresden if the partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or has no place of jurisdiction in Germany. If a provision is invalid, the rest remains valid. The German version prevails.
