BandAI partner terms
Plain English, deliberately. These terms cover sharing your referral link and being paid for the learners it brings.
Version 3 · 14 September 2026. These are the terms your dashboard is on. If we ever change them in a way that asks more of you, we will ask you to agree to the new version before it applies to you. A change that gives you more applies straight away. What changed in this version: If you are paid by bank transfer, we now hold the account details you enter — the name on the account, the bank and the IBAN — sealed, in one place, for one purpose: sending your commission. Where PayPal reaches you, we still hold only the email address on your PayPal account.
1. The arrangement
You receive a one-time commission of 20% of a referred learner’s first plan payment — the Monthly plan or the 3-month course, whichever they buy first. One commission per referred learner, ever — later purchases, renewals and add-ons earn nothing further, and nothing recurs. A learner who already had a BandAI account before following your link is not a referral.
Either of us may end the arrangement at any time, with a plain notice. Ending it does not void commissions already earned.
2. How referrals are counted
Your link (bandai.courses/r/your-code) tags visitors with your code. Only the link does: a code typed into an address bar, or sent any other way, counts for nothing. Attribution is first-touch: if a visitor reached BandAI through another tracked source before your link — an advert, another partner — that source is credited, even if they later click your link. The tag lives in the visitor’s own browser for 7 days; a signup after that window, or from a different browser, is not counted to you.
We count what the system can see, honestly. Your dashboard shows clicks, signups, completed assessments and paid conversions, with each figure’s definition beside it.
3. The hold period
A commission starts as pending. It clears once the learner’s refund window has closed — for the 3-month course that is about 164 days after their purchase (the programme itself, plus the time the improvement guarantee gives them to sit the test and claim; longer if they upgraded from Monthly, whose remaining time carries over). The Monthly plan has no guarantee, so its commission holds a flat 30 days. We never pay a commission on a sale that can still be refunded.
If the learner is refunded inside that window — including under the improvement guarantee (“Improve or claim a refund”) — the commission is reversed automatically, and your dashboard lists the reversal with its reason. While a guarantee claim on that purchase is still being decided, the commission stays pending until it is.
A refund arriving after a commission has cleared does not claw it back automatically — it is flagged for review, and we may net it against a future payout after talking to you.
4. Self-referral
Using your own link for your own purchase, or a purchase you control (your own accounts, your household), voids the commission. The system flags what it can detect; the obligation stands whether or not it is detected.
5. Payment
You never send us an invoice. You save your payout details once in your dashboard; after a commission has cleared, it is paid within a month of clearing. We pay in one run: one payout a month, covering everything that cleared. Minimum payout: none. No payment is ever made automatically: a person at BandAI sends it.
How we pay depends on where you are. Where PayPal reaches you, we pay by PayPal and the only payment detail we hold is the email address on your PayPal account — no bank details of any kind. We cannot pay Pakistan by PayPal: if you are in Pakistan we pay by bank transfer, and we hold the account details you enter — the name on the account, the bank and the IBAN — for one purpose only, sending your commission. We use those details to send money to you and for nothing else. We never ask for a card.
Every payout is recorded in your dashboard with its date, amount, period and reference. Your own bank or PayPal may convert the money into your local currency and charge you for that; those charges are theirs, not ours.
6. Rate changes
We may change the commission rate or hold period with notice, for future conversions only, never retroactively. Every commission is recorded with the rate and hold that applied when it was earned, and is honoured at those numbers — the hold runs longer only for the reason in section 3, a claim still open on that purchase.
7. Data and conduct
You never receive learners’ names or details — your dashboard shows counts only. No spam, no misleading claims about BandAI, and no restating of the improvement guarantee in your own words: link to our pages instead. Breach ends the arrangement, and we may pause your link while we look into a concern.
Payment details: where PayPal reaches you we hold the email address on your PayPal account and nothing else. If you are paid by bank transfer, we hold the account details you enter — the name on the account, the bank and the IBAN — encrypted, in one place, for one purpose: sending your commission. They are shown only to you and to the person at BandAI who makes the transfer, never written to a log or an email, and deleted when your partnership ends.
