Mmedia Partner Terms

Version 1.6 · Last updated: 30 August 2026

These Partner Terms ("Terms") govern participation in the Mmedia Partner Program (the "Program") operated by MMEDIA LIMITED, NZBN 9429052805103, a company registered in New Zealand ("Mmedia", "we", "us"). By submitting an application to the Program, and by continuing to participate in it, you ("Partner", "you") agree to these Terms.

The version published on this page is the current version and is the one that applies to your participation; we change it only as described in Section 12, which gives you notice and the right to terminate before a change takes effect.

These Terms are published in English and Chinese. The English version prevails if the two differ.

1. The Program

1.1 The Program is a customer-referral relationship. The Partner introduces prospective customers ("Leads") to Mmedia. Mmedia is solely responsible for contracting with, and delivering its services to, customers.

1.2 Participation is subject to Mmedia's approval of the Partner's application. Mmedia may decline an application, and will tell the applicant that it has done so.

1.3 The Partner is an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, joint-venture, franchise or exclusive relationship. The Partner must not make any commitment on Mmedia's behalf.

1.4 The Program has a single level. Commission is earned only on subscription fees actually paid by referred customers. There is no joining fee, no purchase requirement, and no payment for recruiting other partners.

2. Commission

2.1 An approved Partner earns commission of 40% of the Net Subscription Fees received by Mmedia from each customer attributed to that Partner, for as long as that customer's subscription continues, subject to Section 13 (Termination).

2.2 Net Subscription Fees means the recurring subscription fees actually received and cleared by Mmedia from the attributed customer, less: (a) GST, VAT, sales tax and any other transaction tax; (b) refunds, credits, chargebacks and reversals; and (c) payment-processing fees charged by Mmedia's payment provider.

2.3 All amounts in these Terms are in United States dollars (USD).

2.4 The commission base excludes: (a) advertising budget, which customers pay directly to advertising platforms; (b) one-time fees of any kind, including setup, onboarding, audit and professional-service fees; and (c) product lines launched after the date of the Partner's approval, for which commission rates (if any) will be published when the product launches.

2.5 If an attributed customer moves between plans, commission continues at the rate in Section 2.1 on the subscription fees for the new plan, provided the new plan is a subscription plan and not a separate product line under Section 2.4(c).

3. Lead Attribution

• First to submit. A Lead is attributed to the first Partner who registers it with Mmedia through the method notified to Partners, at the time of registration.
• Protection window. A registered Lead is protected for the submitting Partner for 90 days. If the Lead becomes a paying customer within the window, that customer is attributed to the Partner for the duration of the Partner's participation in the Program, subject to Section 13. If not, protection lapses and the Lead may be registered by another Partner or pursued by Mmedia directly.
• Existing pipeline exclusion. A Lead cannot be attributed if, at the time of registration, the prospective customer is already an Mmedia customer, has already contacted Mmedia directly, or has already been registered by another Partner. Mmedia will tell the Partner promptly when this is the case, and will state which ground applies.
• Returning customers. If an attributed customer cancels and later returns, the original attribution stands and commission resumes.
• Attribution disputes. A Partner may dispute an attribution decision by emailing contact@mmedia.biz within 30 days of being notified of it. Mmedia will review the dispute against its records and respond in writing, with the date and source of the competing registration or prior contact, within 15 working days. This does not limit either party's rights under Section 18.

4. Referrals, Consent and Privacy

4.1 The Partner must only register a Lead where the Partner has told the individual concerned that their contact details will be passed to Mmedia so that Mmedia can contact them about its services, and the individual has agreed to that introduction.

4.2 The Partner must register only the Lead's name, business name, business contact email or phone number, and a short note on the business context. The Partner must not send Mmedia any sensitive personal information, and must not send personal information about anyone other than the Lead contact.

4.3 Mmedia will, in its first communication with a registered Lead, identify itself, state that the Lead's details were provided by the Partner (naming the Partner), state the purpose, provide a way to opt out of further contact, and explain how the Lead can access or correct their information. Mmedia handles Lead information under its Privacy Policy.

4.4 If a Lead objects to having been referred, Mmedia may cease contact, and the Lead is not attributed to the Partner.

4.5 A Partner who is established in, or who registers Leads located in, the European Union, the United Kingdom or Switzerland is responsible for its own compliance with the data-protection law applying to it, and must be able to demonstrate the individual's consent on request.

5. Payouts

5.1 Commission is settled per calendar month and paid by the 15th day of the following month, via Wise or PayPal at the Partner's choice.

5.2 A commission becomes payable only once the related customer payment is at least 30 days old (the refund window); commissions that have not yet cleared the window roll into the next monthly settlement.

5.3 The minimum payout is $50. Smaller balances roll over to the following month and are not forfeited. The Partner may also ask at any time to be paid out the current balance regardless of the minimum, and Mmedia will settle it in the next monthly cycle.

5.4 If a customer payment is refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed after the related commission has been paid, Mmedia may set the amount off against the Partner's future commission. If no further commission accrues within 6 months, Mmedia may invoice the Partner for the balance.

5.5 Commission accrues from the Partner's first attributed customer. It becomes payable automatically once the Partner has at least 2 active attributed customers. While the Partner has fewer than 2, accrued commission is held — not forfeited — and becomes payable once Mmedia has verified that the referral is independent of the Partner (see Section 9.1(b)). The first payout to any Partner is subject to the same verification. Mmedia starts that verification itself — the Partner does not need to ask for it — and completes it within the settlement cycle following the Partner's first settleable commission.

5.6 An active attributed customer is an attributed customer whose subscription is current and whose most recent subscription payment has been received and not reversed.

5.7 Payouts require the Partner to have provided valid payout details (a Wise or PayPal account in the Partner's own name or its registered business name) and a notification email address; until provided, balances roll over. Mmedia sends an email confirmation for every payout, and each payment is listed in the Partner Dashboard.

5.8 Mmedia pays the transfer fee charged by Wise or PayPal on the outbound payment. Any receiving-bank, currency-conversion or intermediary fee is the Partner's own cost.

5.9 Mmedia may withhold or decline a payout where it is required to do so by law, including where the Partner or its payout account is subject to New Zealand, United Nations or applicable foreign sanctions, or where the payment provider will not process a payment to the Partner's country. Mmedia will tell the Partner the reason.

5.10 An unpaid balance is not forfeited because of inactivity. Mmedia will hold it and pay it on the Partner's valid request, subject to Section 5.3 and to New Zealand law about unclaimed money.

6. Taxes

6.1 The Partner is an independent contractor and is solely responsible for any income tax, filings and social charges applicable to it in its own jurisdiction.

6.2 Commission amounts are exclusive of GST. Where the Partner is registered for New Zealand GST and has given Mmedia its GST number, Mmedia will add GST at the applicable rate.

6.3 Buyer-created taxable supply information. Where the Partner is registered for New Zealand GST, the Partner and Mmedia agree that Mmedia will issue buyer-created taxable supply information (a self-billing statement) for the commission, and that the Partner will not issue supply information for those supplies. This Section is intended to be the written agreement required by the buyer-created taxable supply information rules in the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.

6.4 Mmedia pays commission without withholding unless withholding is required by law. Where withholding is required, Mmedia will withhold at the required rate, pay the amount to the relevant authority, and give the Partner a statement.

7. Promotional Bonuses

Mmedia may from time to time offer one-time performance bonuses or promotional campaigns in addition to recurring commission. Each campaign is governed by the rules published with it, applies only for the period stated in those rules, and does not modify these Terms.

8. Brand and Marketing Materials

8.1 For as long as the Partner participates in the Program, Mmedia grants the Partner a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Mmedia name, logo and the marketing materials Mmedia supplies, solely to promote the Mmedia services under these Terms and in accordance with any brand guidelines Mmedia publishes.

8.2 The Partner must not alter Mmedia's marks, register any domain name, social account, trade mark or business name containing "Mmedia" or anything confusingly similar, or use the marks in a way that suggests the Partner is Mmedia or is authorised to bind it.

8.3 The Partner must make clear, in any public promotion of Mmedia, that the Partner is an independent Mmedia partner and is paid a commission on referrals.

8.4 On termination, the Partner must stop using the marks and materials within 10 working days, except for records kept internally.

9. Prohibited Conduct

9.1 The Partner must not: (a) make false, misleading or exaggerated claims about Mmedia, its services or its results, or promise specific advertising results on Mmedia's behalf; (b) engage in self-referral — registering as a Lead a business the Partner owns, controls, or is connected to in a way that is not disclosed to Mmedia; (c) bid on Mmedia brand terms on any advertising platform; (d) present itself as an employee, agent or exclusive representative of Mmedia; (e) use spam, scraped lists, purchased lists or deceptive practices to source Leads; (f) offer or pay any bribe, kickback or improper inducement in connection with the Program; or (g) breach Section 4.

9.2 Process before forfeiture. If Mmedia considers that the Partner has breached Section 9.1, Mmedia will notify the Partner with the specific conduct relied on, and the Partner has 10 working days to respond or to remedy the breach where it is capable of remedy. If the breach is not remedied or adequately explained, Mmedia may suspend or terminate participation and may withhold unpaid commission that is attributable to the breaching conduct. Commission that is not attributable to the breaching conduct remains payable.

9.3 Mmedia may suspend payouts to a Partner while it investigates a suspected breach of Section 9.1, for no longer than 30 days unless the investigation involves a regulator or law-enforcement agency.

10. Partner Warranties and Indemnity

10.1 The Partner warrants that it will comply with all laws applying to its own activities under these Terms, including consumer, privacy, anti-spam and tax law in each country where it operates.

10.2 The Partner indemnifies Mmedia against loss, cost and liability Mmedia suffers arising from the Partner's breach of Section 4, Section 8, Section 9 or Section 10.1, or from claims made about Mmedia by the Partner that Mmedia did not authorise. This indemnity is limited to direct loss and does not apply to the extent the loss was caused by Mmedia.

11. Confidentiality

11.1 Each party must keep confidential the other's non-public information disclosed under the Program, including customer identities, dashboard data, pricing not published on Mmedia's website, and the contents of the Welcome Kit, and must use it only for the Program.

11.2 This does not apply to information that is public through no breach of these Terms, was already lawfully held, or must be disclosed by law. This Section survives termination for 3 years.

12. Changes to These Terms and to Commission

12.1 Mmedia may adjust the commission rate prospectively on 30 days' notice. The rate confirmed for a Partner's existing attributed customers is not reduced retroactively, and is not reduced at all for those customers for 12 months after the notice takes effect.

12.2 Mmedia may update these Terms on 30 days' notice by email and through the Partner Dashboard. Changes apply prospectively.

12.3 If the Partner does not accept a change under Section 12.1 or 12.2, the Partner may terminate under Section 13.1 before the change takes effect; all commission accrued up to termination remains payable under Section 13.3, and the change does not apply to it. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Termination

13.1 The Partner may terminate at any time by written notice.

13.2 Mmedia may terminate: (a) immediately, for a breach of Section 9 that is not remedied under Section 9.2, or where the Partner becomes insolvent; or (b) for any other reason, on 30 days' written notice.

13.3 What happens to commission after termination.

• Commission already confirmed for past settlement periods remains payable in the ordinary settlement cycle.
• If the Partner terminates under Section 13.1, or Mmedia terminates under Section 13.2(a), recurring commission on attributed customers stops for periods after the termination date.
• If Mmedia terminates under Section 13.2(b), recurring commission on customers already attributed to the Partner at the termination date continues for up to 12 months after termination, paid on the ordinary monthly cycle. Commission over that period is calculated exactly as before: on the subscription fees actually received from those customers. If a customer's subscription ends during that period, commission for that customer ends with it. Mmedia does not pay commission out of its own funds where no subscription fee has been received.
• If Mmedia discontinues the Program as a whole but continues to provide its services to customers, the preceding paragraph applies to every Partner.
• If Mmedia ceases to provide its services, the customers' subscriptions end with them. Recurring commission therefore ends, because there are no subscription fees left on which to calculate it. Commission accrued up to that date remains payable. In that situation the Partner is free to refer those customers to any other provider: these Terms place no non-compete and no customer restriction on the Partner.

13.4 Sections 5.4, 6, 10, 11, 13.3, 15, 16, 17 and 18 survive termination.

14. No Guarantee

Partner earnings depend on the Partner's own customer relationships and market conditions. Mmedia makes no promise of any income level. Any calculator or example figures published by Mmedia describe how commission is calculated and are not a forecast, a representation or a promise of income. Nothing in the Program constitutes financial advice.

15. Liability

15.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mmedia's total aggregate liability to the Partner under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the commission paid to that Partner in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

15.2 Neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit or opportunity. This does not limit the Partner's obligation to pay amounts owing under Section 5.4 or the indemnity in Section 10.2.

15.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

16. Business-to-Business Acknowledgement

16.1 The Partner acknowledges that it enters into these Terms in trade and for business purposes, and that Mmedia supplies the Program in trade.

16.2 To the extent both parties are in trade, the parties agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply, and that sections 9, 12A and 13 of the Fair Trading Act 1986 do not apply, to the Program. The parties agree it is fair and reasonable to be bound by this Section. This Section does not apply where the Partner acquires the Program other than in trade.

17. General

• Notices. Notices are given by email to the address each party has notified, and to contact@mmedia.biz for Mmedia. Notices to Partners may also be given through the Partner Dashboard.
• Assignment. The Partner may not assign these Terms without Mmedia's written consent. Mmedia may assign to a related company or to a purchaser of its business, on notice, provided accrued commission entitlements are preserved.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, with any bonus-campaign rules and the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement about the Program and replace any earlier statement about it, other than statements made fraudulently.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest continues.
• No waiver. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, other than an obligation to pay money.
• Records. Mmedia will keep, and make available to the Partner through the Partner Dashboard, the attribution and settlement records supporting each payout, for at least 7 years.
• Language. These Terms are published in English and Chinese; the English version prevails.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

18.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand.

18.2 Before starting proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, first by discussion between the parties' representatives within 15 working days of a written notice of dispute. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent interim relief.

18.3 Disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
