Pay an admin fee* of between 1-2% to CommissionCrowd in addition to the commission amount that you pay an agent on the back of closed business.
Never subtract CommissionCrowd's admin fee from the commissions owed to an agent. This fee is always in addition to their commission payment.

Premium Monthly Memberships - You must make a minimum commitment of 3 months. If you've found an agent within the first 3 months then you must complete all 12 installments for a minimum term of one year. If you fail to meet your payment installments your agents may be notified that you are not a company who is able to meet their monthly commitments and your account may be closed. This is to protect the agent against fraudulent companies who are not interested in win/win partnerships.

We do not offer refunds. We'll always work with you and help you attract agents if you're struggling please get in touch. There is always more we can do to help.

*Admin Fee: In addition to paying the regular commissions to your sales agents on the back of closed business, you'll also pay CommissionCrowd an additional 1-2% depending on the membership you choose.

Note: Part of this fee is used to seed our business development fund which works to attract more sales agents from around the world to work on your opportunity.

Subscription to Beta Service

We may offer certain Services as closed (private) or open beta services ("Beta Service" or "Beta Services") for the purpose of testing and evaluation. You agree that we have the sole authority and discretion to determine the period of time for testing and evaluation of Beta Services. We will be the sole judge of the success of such testing and the decision, if any, to offer the Beta Services as commercial services. You will be under no obligation to acquire a subscription to use any paid Service as a result of your subscription to any Beta Service outwith any purchase you made to participate. We reserve the right to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any of the Beta Services with or without notice to you. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any harm related to, arising out of, or caused by the modification, suspension or discontinuance of any of the Beta Services for any reason.

User Sign up Obligations

You need to sign up for a user account by providing all required information in order to access or use the Services. If you represent an organization and wish to use the Services for corporate internal use, we recommend that you, and all other users from your organization, sign up for user accounts by providing your corporate contact information. In particular, we recommend that you use your corporate email address. You agree to: a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the sign up process; and b) maintain and promptly update the information provided during sign up to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, we may terminate your user account and refuse current or future use of any or all of the Services.

Organization Accounts and Administrators

When you sign up for an account for your organization you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such third party specifying such party's roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for i) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, ii) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this Agreement. You understand that we are not responsible for account administration and internal management of the Services for you.

You are responsible for taking necessary steps for ensuring that your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by sending an email to support@commissioncrowd.com, provided that the process is acceptable to CommissionCrowd. In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, CommissionCrowd may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to CommissionCrowd demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold CommissionCrowd liable for the consequences of any action taken by CommissionCrowd in good faith in this regard.

Spamming and Illegal Activities

You agree to be solely responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Services.

Inactive User Accounts Policy

We reserve the right to terminate unpaid user accounts that are inactive for a continuous period of 120 days. In the event of such termination, all data associated with such user account will be deleted. We will provide you prior notice of such termination and option to back-up your data. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity. In other words, activity in one of the Services is not sufficient to keep your user account in another Service active. In case of accounts with more than one user, if at least one of the users is active, the account will not be considered inactive.
