For Affiliate Partners
Updated August 28, 2023

This Partner Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Realty Sage, Viva Green LLC (“Platform”) and  (“Affiliate Partner”). The purpose of this Agreement is to set out the obligations of both parties as it relates to customer leads (“Lead”) generated by the Affiliate Partner and referred to the Platform. A “Lead” is a user who completes and submits the Realty Sage Pros Lead Generation form including their valid contact information on www.realtysagepros.com.

AFFILIATE PARTNER OBLIGATIONS Partner Affiliate will;
  • host or distribute a unique Platform generated referral link on their site, social media, or other mediums.
  • provide payment information to the Platform prior to commission distribution.
  • provide genuine Leads. See “Advertising” terms. 
  • provide point of contact information to send quarterly reports.
  • W-9 form, if applicable
 
PLATFORM OBLIGATIONS Platform provides;
  • unique trackable link(s) to the Affiliate Partner
  • a quarterly report of total tracked Leads.
  • electronically distributed commission within 30 days of the end of the quarter or termination of agreement.
  • 1099 form if applicable.
 
PLATFORM DELIVERABLES Within fourteen (14) days of the execution of this agreement, Platform must provide Affiliate Partner with a unique referral link. Additional links can be created so that the origin of the Leads can be more efficiently tracked. Example: Link A on the website, link B on social media, Link C on newsletters, etc. Within 30 days of the end of each quarter, the Platform will deliver a report consisting of the total number of Leads tracked by the Platform using the Affiliate Partner's unique referral links.
 
AFFILIATE PARTNER DELIVERABLES Upon receiving the unique referral link, Affiliate Partner may begin publishing their unique referral link(s).

  • How the general process works: A Lead is defined as a customer who clicks on the Affiliate Partner’s unique referral link and submits their valid contact information (name, email and phone number) through the Lead generation RS Pros form, generating a Lead to the Platform. Duplicate Leads will be counted only once. The Platform receives and records the Lead’s information and their referral origination.
