Referral Program Terms

Please read these terms. You'll need to accept them once before you can submit referrals.

Thanks for referring instructors to Blended Teaching. By clicking I agree below, you enroll in the program under these terms.

1. Who can refer

Any active Blended Teaching instructor can refer other instructors. No application beyond accepting these terms.

2. How to make a referral

Two paths count:

  • In-portal — submit the referral form in this section (this is how we track it).
  • Email introduction — introduce us directly to another instructor via email, adding hey@blended-teaching.comor your Blended Teaching contact to the thread. We'll count these too, but please also submit through the portal after the introduction so it appears in your dashboard.

3. What earns a fee

You earn a fee only when Blended Teaching, at our sole discretion, marks your referral as Converted — meaning the referred instructor has become a paying customer and revenue has started to flow.

Not eligible:

  • Referrals to instructors who are already Blended Teaching customers.
  • Referrals that another partner made first.
  • Referrals that don't result in revenue within 180 daysof being Accepted. If nothing has come through in that window, we'll mark the referral Expired and no fee is owed.

Referrals in Submitted or Accepted status don't earn anything yet — a fee accrues only after Conversion.

4. How much you earn

Your standard fee is 10% of the net revenue Blended Teaching receives from the referred instructor during their first twelve monthsas a customer. "Net revenue" means what we actually receive after refunds, credits, and chargebacks.

Not included in the fee calculation:

  • Subscription renewals after the twelve-month window
  • Support, implementation, training, or professional-services fees

We may agree to a different fee percentage for a specific referral in advance — if so, we'll set it before you accept the arrangement.

5. The twelve-month window

The earning window opens on the Conversion Datewe assign, and closes exactly twelve months later. Revenue we receive outside that window doesn't count.

6. How we pay

Your dashboard shows your accrued, paid, and outstanding balances at any time. We typically pay accrued fees on a per-semester basis — after each semester ends, once we have the final numbers in — in USD, typically via Stripe or wire. We may pay more or less frequently at our discretion, and we may require a completed IRS Form W-9 before your first payment.

You're responsible for any taxes owed on referral fees — we are separate, independent parties, and this program doesn't create an employment or agency relationship.

7. Anti-fraud

We may void or reduce fees where we determine, in good faith, that a referral was manufactured, self-referred, made in bad faith, or otherwise structured to obtain fees that weren't legitimately earned. Examples: creating a second email account to refer yourself, or referring someone we were already in discussions with before your submission.

8. If you disagree with something

If you disagree with a revenue calculation, fee, or referral status, email hey@blended-teaching.com within 30 daysof the event you're disputing. We'll review and respond in good faith. Calculations not disputed within 30 days are considered final.

9. Confidentiality and IP

Program details, brand assets, email templates, and anything else we share for you to use are confidential. Don't use our IP for advertising or promotion without written consent. This obligation survives your leaving the program.

10. Non-exclusivity

This program is non-exclusive. We may pursue any instructor without you, and you can partner with anyone else. Nothing here obligates us to accept any referral or to pursue any prospective customer.

11. If your account changes

If your Blended Teaching account is closed, or your participation in this program ends, fees already accrued for previously-Converted referrals remain payable on our normal cadence — unless we terminated your participation for cause (fraud, breach of these terms, or misuse), in which case unpaid fees may be forfeited at our discretion.

12. Changes to the program

We may modify the program — including changing the fee percentage, adjusting eligibility, or ending the program entirely — at any time and for any reason. Material changes will be posted in the portal. Fees already accrued on referrals Converted before a change takes effect are honored under the terms that applied when they were Converted.

13. Either side can leave

You or we can end your participation at any time on written notice. Fees earned on referrals Converted before that date remain payable, subject to section 11.

14. The legal bits

This program is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. Any disputes go to state or federal courts in Georgia. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential damages except where directly caused by negligence or breach. If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.
