Partner program terms

1. The program

• The IELTS Karo partner program is operated by Prep Karo (Private) Limited ("IELTS Karo", "we"). "You" are the person or business that applies to the program.
• As a partner you send students to IELTS Karo with your own referral code or link.
• These terms apply from the moment you send your application. They continue while your partner account is open.

2. Who can join

• The program is for consultants, academies and teachers who are in Pakistan and can receive payment in Pakistani rupees (PKR) in a bank account in Pakistan.
• An application is a request. We can accept or refuse an application, and we do not have to give a reason.
• The data in your application must be correct. Tell us when it changes.
• You open your partner account from the invitation that we send to the email address in your application. The invitation is for you only.

3. Your mode and your rate

• Each partner has one mode: commission or discount. You cannot have the two at the same time.
• In commission mode, the student pays the list price and you earn a percentage of the first payment of that student.
• In discount mode, the student gets a percentage off the first payment. You earn no commission.
• We set your mode and your rate when we approve you. The rate is usually between 10% and 25%. Your partner dashboard shows your mode and your rate.
• We can change your mode or your rate. We tell you by email before the change. A commission that is already recorded keeps the rate that it had.

4. How a student is counted as yours

• A student is counted as yours when the student signs up with your referral link or code, or adds your code before the first payment.
• You get one active referral code.
• A student can be counted for one partner only. The first valid code applies. Only IELTS Karo can change this.
• You cannot use your own code on your own account, and you cannot earn from your own purchase.

5. What counts for commission or discount

• Only the first subscription payment of a student counts. Later payments and renewals do not count.
• The first payment must be made within 12 months of the date on which the student was counted as yours.
• Only payments in PKR through our local payment provider, or a bank transfer that we record, count. Payments by international card do not count.
• Commission is a percentage of the price of that first payment. We calculate each amount. Our records are the basis for each amount.

6. Hold period and payouts

• A new commission stays on hold for 14 days. After the hold it becomes payable.
• We pay in PKR by bank transfer to the account that you give us. You must give correct bank data. We are not responsible for a payment that fails because of incorrect data.
• We pay when your payable balance is at or above the minimum payout amount. We tell you this amount, and we can change it.
• We deduct the tax that the law of Pakistan tells us to withhold. Your payout record shows the gross amount, the tax and the net amount.
• You are responsible for your own taxes on the money that you earn.

7. Refunds and corrections

• If a payment is refunded, the commission for that payment is cancelled.
• If we already paid that commission to you, the amount is deducted from your next payouts.
• We can cancel or correct a commission that was recorded by mistake, or that came from fraud or from a breach of these terms.

8. How you must promote IELTS Karo

• Be honest. Do not promise a band score, a visa, an admission or any other result.
• Tell students that you are an affiliate partner of IELTS Karo. Our signup page also shows this to a student who uses your link.
• Do not send spam. Do not use paid advertisements on the name IELTS Karo or on names that look like it.
• Do not use false accounts, your own accounts, or payments that you make for other persons to earn commission.
• Do not say that you are IELTS Karo, an employee of IELTS Karo, or an official IELTS test centre.
• Use the name and the logo of IELTS Karo only to promote IELTS Karo, and do not change them.
• Obey the laws that apply to you.

9. Student data

• Your dashboard shows the email address of each student in a masked form. We do not give you the name, the full email address or the phone number of a student.
• Do not try to get the personal data of students from IELTS Karo by any other method.
• We use the data in your application to operate the program, to contact you and to pay you.

10. Your relation with IELTS Karo

• You are an independent partner. You are not an employee, an agent or a business partner of IELTS Karo in the legal sense.
• You cannot make an agreement or a promise in the name of IELTS Karo.

11. Suspension and end

• You can leave the program at any time. Send an email to us.
• We can suspend or close your partner account at any time, with a notice by email.
• If your account is closed without a breach, we pay the commissions that are payable at that time, after the hold period and above the minimum payout amount.
• If your account is closed because of fraud or a breach of these terms, unpaid commissions are cancelled.

12. Changes to the program and to these terms

• We can change or stop the program. We can change these terms.
• When we change these terms, we publish a new version on this page with a new version number and date, and we tell you by email.
• If you continue in the program after the date of a new version, you accept that version.

13. Liability

• We supply the program as it is. We do not promise a number of students, an amount of income, or that the service is always available.
• To the extent that the law permits, the liability of IELTS Karo to you is not more than the commission that is payable to you and not yet paid.

14. Law

• The laws of Pakistan apply to these terms. The courts of Pakistan decide a dispute that we cannot solve together.
