This Partner Agreement (“Agreement”) governs the relationship between Welo Badge, LLC, a company under U.S. law with headquarters in the State of Delaware (“Welo Badge” or “Welo”), and the natural or legal person that adheres to the Welo Badge Partner Program (“Partner”).
By subscribing to the Partner Program, using their personal link, promoting Welo Badge services or requesting commissions, the Partner declares to have read, understood and fully accepted this Agreement.
1. Purpose and purpose of the Partner Program
Welo Badge offers a certification service and verifying the reliability of online companies, with the creation of a security badge and a public page (Trust Center) dedicated to the certified company.
The Partner Program is intended to allow the Partner to:
- report companies potentially interested in Welo Badge services;
- facilitate their application and subscription to a paid plan;
- receive an economic commission on qualified sales attributed to its activities.
This Agreement fully defines rights, obligations, limits, promotion methods, award criteria, commission structures, and payment terms.
2. Nature of the relationship
The relationship between Welo Badge and the Partner is non-exclusive commercial collaboration.
The Partner always acts as a subject independent and not as an employee, agent, legal representative, agent or member of Welo Badge. Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as creating an employment relationship, agency, joint venture, or corporate partnership.
The Partner does not have the power to sign nor is he authorized to:
- assume contractual obligations in the name and on behalf of Welo Badge;
- issue binding statements for Welo Badge;
- introduce yourself as a 'Welo Badge office', 'Welo Badge employee' or similar.
3. Program membership
To join the Partner Program, the subject must:
- be at least 18 years old (if a natural person) or be regularly constituted (if a legal entity);
- provide real, complete and updated data;
- have the legal capacity to enter into contracts;
- not be involved in illegal, fraudulent activities or in violation of applicable regulations;
- accept this Agreement without modification.
Welo Badge may request supplementary documents at any time (for example: tax data for payments, company name, links to the sites or channels used for the promotion) and may refuse or revoke membership at its sole discretion, even without the obligation to provide detailed reasons, in particular in the case of:
- suspected fraudulent activity;
- promotional content or practices that do not comply with the brand or laws;
- lack of cooperation or lack of requested information.
4. Sales attribution and “Do you have a recommendation?” field
For a sale to be attributed to the Partner and generate commissions, the company concerned must:
- fill out the official Welo Badge application or apply form;
- Enter the name of the Partner (first and last name or name of the business) in the field dedicated to the recommendation, currently indicated as “Do you have a recommendation?” or “Do you have a recommendation?”.
In the absence of this indication, the sale it is not automatically considered as a Partner's referral, even if the customer has been informally informed or “influenced” by the Partner.
Welo Badge may, at its discretion, manually attribute a sale to the Partner if there is clear, documented and verifiable evidence of its brokerage. However, this manual attribution remains an option and not an obligation.
It is up to the Partner to instruct companies to:
- enter your name correctly in the 'recommendation' field;
- use any links or codes communicated to the Partner.
5. Accepted companies and eligibility limits
Welo Badge is primarily aimed at online companies (e.g. e-commerce, SaaS, digital services, marketplaces, D2C brands, agencies and businesses with a structured web presence) that operate legally and that want to improve transparency, trust and reputation.
Welo Badge reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or revoke certification, or not to activate services, against companies that:
- carry out activities that are illegal or in violation of local or international regulations;
- are involved in fraud, scams, pyramid schemes or similar;
- operate in highly risky sectors (for example: weapons, illegal trafficking, blatantly deceptive activities, violations of privacy, hate or violent content);
- are not willing to provide the minimum documentation necessary for the reliability analysis;
- refuse to comply with Welo Badge's indications relating to legal and informational transparency.
The Partner understands that:
- the acceptance of a company as a Welo Badge customer is always subject to internal assessment;
- if a company referred by him is rejected or fails the verification, no commission is due;
- Welo Badge is not required to justify the refusal in detail, when there are reasons of compliance, security or confidentiality.
6. Qualified sales and commission accrual
A sale is considered 'qualified' (and therefore generates commissions) only when:
- the company has been accepted as a customer by Welo Badge;

- the payment is actually collected by Welo Badge;
- there is no refund, chargeback or dispute involving the return of the amount;
- the sale is attributed to the Partner according to the field rule “Do you have a recommendation?” or through another award recognized in writing by Welo Badge.
In the event of a full refund or cancellation of payment by the customer, any commission accrued is reversed or offset with subsequent payments.
7. Commissions, duration of remuneration and minimum payout
The Welo Badge Partner Program includes:
- a commission equal to 20% of the revenue generated by the referred customer, calculated on the subscribed Welo Badge plans;
- a duration of 12 months of commission accrual starting from the date of the customer's first actual payment.
