# Referral Partner Role and Expectations

The Referral Partner Program is designed to help partners grow their networks while earning referral bonuses for connecting qualified businesses with UAS.

***

Referral partners submit prospective business partners to UAS as “leads” through the Referral Partner Portal. All leads submitted must be pre-qualified and meet eligibility standards set by UAS. For example, the lead cannot be a current or former client of UAS, or otherwise fail to meet qualification standards. Once a lead has been presented to UAS, it may not be submitted, referred, or presented to any other company. After no longer than 3 months, a lead that enters into a binding agreement with UAS will become a Qualified Lead after receiving approval. Once the lead has been reviewed by UAS and accepted, the Referral Partner will be eligible to receive compensation according to the applicable Referral Fee Schedule. The Referral Fee Schedule is calculated based on what type of UAS account a referral has opened (Purchasing, Servicing, etc.), and referral fees are paid monthly.

Referral partners participate as independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or partners of UAS. Partners are responsible for complying with the terms of the Referral Partner Agreement, including indemnifying and defending UAS against third-party claims, losses, liabilities etc. Additionally, a partner may not assign its rights or obligations under the Agreement without prior written consent from UAS. The Agreement cannot be altered unless agreed upon in writing by both parties.
