Summary of the terms you agree to as a Pangea referral partner. These mirror Pangea’s upstream codebase-licensing agreement and apply only to codebase licensing referrals. ⇩ Download the full agreement (PDF)

1. Referral fee

For each codebase transaction (a licence or sale of a codebase, exclusive or non-exclusive) involving a code owner you referred, Pangea pays you 15% of the amount the referred code owner is paid for that transaction. The code owner’s share is unaffected and nothing is deducted from it.

2. Recurring

The fee is not one-time. It is earned on every codebase transaction for a referred codebase, with no cap on how many times a codebase is licensed or sold.

3. Paid only when the deal is paid

A referral fee becomes payable only after, and solely to the extent of, amounts actually received for the transaction, and is paid within 15 days of the fees being paid out. If a payment is refunded, reversed, or charged back, the corresponding amount may be offset against future fees. You will never be owed more than what is actually collected.

4. Attribution & tracking

You receive two unique referral links (one per track) and codes. Attribution is by link only; there is no shared tracker to maintain. A code owner is a “referred code owner” if they first engage the program through your link, and were not already an active Pangea customer or in the documented pipeline before the referral. If you are unsure whether a code owner will be attributed to you, contact [email protected] before they sign up.

5. 10-business-day flag; deemed attribution

When a code owner signs up through your link, Pangea has 10 business days to object on reasonable grounds (an existing relationship or a documented pipeline entry). If Pangea does not object within that period, the code owner is conclusively deemed your referral, absent fraud. In the unlikely event a pre-existing relationship, or a prior referral by another partner, is missed within that period, Section 6 (prior relationships; no double payment) supersedes this and determines the eligible referrer.

6. Prior relationships; no double payment

No fee is owed for a code owner who, before your referral, was already an active customer, in the documented pipeline, or in an active documented licensing discussion. Only one referral fee is paid per transaction. Where two partners refer the same code owner, the partner who referred first by date, as recorded, is the eligible referrer.

7. Lapse

Attribution through your link lapses if the code owner has not engaged the program within 6 months of first using it; attribution resumes if they return through your link.

8. Conduct

You will refer in good faith and make no representations about Pangea, pricing, valuations, or outcomes beyond materials Pangea provides or approves. Codebase value estimates are illustrative only and not guaranteed payouts.

9. Independent parties

You and Pangea are independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship, and neither party may bind the other.

10. Term & survival

Either party may end the arrangement on 30 days’ notice. Your right to recurring fees on codebases of code owners you referred during the term survives termination and remains payable on the “only when the deal is paid” basis.

11. Confidentiality

You will keep non-public information (referred code owner identities, figures, statements, and these terms) confidential and use it only to verify and collect your fees.

12. Acceptance

No signature is required. By ticking the box below, you accept and are legally bound by the Referral Partner Agreement, with the same effect as a signature.

This is a plain-language summary for onboarding. The full Referral Partner Agreement, which you accept by ticking the box, governs and controls in the event of any conflict. Governing law and venue are set out in the full agreement.
