Introduce Kestrel to the estimators you know and earn £50 for each
one who subscribes.
How it works
If we accept you, we generate your referral code and send you a link carrying it.
When someone who reaches Kestrel through your link becomes a paying subscriber, you earn £50 once, for that subscriber.
Nothing is earned while they are on a free trial, only once they are actually paying. When it lands depends on the plan they pick:
Annual: earned on their first payment, paid 30 days later once their refund window has closed.
Monthly: earned once they have paid for three months, then paid straight away.
We email you when someone signs up through your link, and again when a commission becomes payable, so you are never guessing.
We raise the invoice on your behalf under a self-billing agreement, so you never have to send us one, chase us for one, or do anything at month end.
Where we pay you
We pay commission by bank transfer, and we raise the invoice ourselves,
so we need these up front rather than chasing you for them later. UK
accounts only.
The self-billing agreement
This is what lets us invoice on your behalf, so you never have to raise
one. Read it and accept below. There is nothing to print, sign or post,
and we do not sign it either: approving your application is our
acceptance. If we approve you, we will email you your own copy.
SELF-BILLING AGREEMENT (sb-v3)
Between Alves Rowe Ltd ("the Customer"), registered in England and Wales, company number 16682818, registered office 44 Belmore Road, Eastbourne, BN22 8BL, VAT number GB 520 3368 24, and you ("the Supplier"), being the business named in this form.
The agreement runs for 24 months from the date we approve your application.
1. What the Supplier is paid for
1.1 The Supplier is given a unique referral code and a link carrying that code.
1.2 A fixed commission of GBP 50 excluding VAT, per subscriber, becomes earned when a person who reached the Kestrel website through that link goes on to become a paying Kestrel subscriber. A free trial is not a subscription, so nothing is earned until they are actually paying.
1.3 How many payments are required depends on the plan the subscriber chooses:
Annual plan earned on their first payment
Monthly plan earned once they have paid for three months
The monthly threshold exists because a single monthly payment is less than the commission. Requiring three means the commission is never more than Alves Rowe has collected on that subscriber.
1.4 Commission is a one-off amount per customer. It is not recurring, and the same customer cannot earn commission more than once, including if they cancel and subscribe again later.
1.5 The Customer keeps the records that determine whether commission is earned. Where a customer cannot be matched to the Supplier's referral code, no commission is due.
2. When it is paid
2.1 Commission on an annual subscriber is held for 30 days after their first payment before it becomes payable, covering the period in which that subscriber may obtain a refund.
2.2 Commission on a monthly subscriber is payable as soon as it is earned under clause 1.3, because by their third payment the amount collected already exceeds the commission.
2.3 If a subscriber obtains a refund before the commission has been paid, the commission is not payable and is cancelled.
2.4 Payable commission is settled by bank transfer to the account the Supplier gave on their application, normally monthly. The Supplier must tell the Customer in writing if those details change.
3. Self-billing
3.1 The Customer will issue self-billed invoices for all commission covered by this agreement, from the start date until the end date.
3.2 The Supplier agrees to accept invoices raised by the Customer on the Supplier's behalf until the end date.
3.3 The Supplier agrees not to raise sales invoices for the supplies covered by this agreement.
3.4 The Supplier agrees to notify the Customer immediately if the Supplier changes VAT registration number, becomes VAT registered, ceases to be VAT registered, or transfers the business as a going concern.
3.5 The Customer will issue self-billed invoices showing the Supplier's name, address and VAT registration number, together with the other particulars a VAT invoice must contain, and will keep copies of every invoice raised.
3.6 Where the Supplier is VAT registered, self-billed invoices will show VAT at the applicable rate, and that VAT is the Supplier's output tax to account for. Where the Supplier is not VAT registered, no VAT will be shown or paid.
3.7 The Customer will notify the Supplier if the issue of self-billed invoices is outsourced to a third party.
4. General
4.1 The Supplier acts as an independent contractor. Nothing here creates employment, partnership, agency or any exclusive arrangement.
4.2 The Supplier will not represent themselves as Alves Rowe Ltd, will not bid on Alves Rowe or Kestrel brand terms in paid advertising, and will not make claims about Kestrel that Alves Rowe Ltd has not published.
4.3 Either party may end this agreement in writing at any time. Commission already earned under clause 1.2 before the end date remains payable, subject to clause 2.
4.4 This agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales.
5. How this agreement is made
5.1 This agreement is offered by Alves Rowe Ltd and accepted electronically. No handwritten signature is required by either party.
5.2 The Supplier accepts it by ticking the box below and typing their name.
5.3 Alves Rowe Ltd accepts it by approving the Supplier's application, which is what creates the referral code in clause 1.1. If we do not approve your application, there is no agreement and nothing is owed either way.
5.4 Both parties hold a copy. We will email yours on approval.
We use these details to consider your application and, if we accept it,
to prepare your self-billing agreement. Nothing else. See our
privacy notice. Applying does not create a
partnership: we will confirm by email either way if we take it forward.
