Commissions are paid once the customer has paid their monthly or annual payment (depending on what type of account they have).

The Partner will have access to a fully functional 50 GB account that the Partner can use for the Partner’s own personal backup and/or to test and demonstrate the Nordic Backup Pro backup solution. This account is not for resale, it is solely for the use of the Partner. This will ensure that the Partner will be able to provide adequate service and knowledge of Nordic Backup’s interface to the Partner’s potential customers. If the Partner requires more than 50 GB’s, the Partner will have the option to pay for any amount over the 50 GB’s based on a metered usage. The Partner will receive a 30% monthly recurring commission on any amount that the Partner pays for over their allotted 50 GB’s.
This 50 GB account is free to the Partner for an entire year from the creation date. Once the allotted year is up, the account will be reviewed to see if the Partner has met the requirements to keep the complimentary account. In order to keep the account complimentary, Nordic Backup only requires the Partner to obtain new customers meeting at least $498 in annual revenue within that year. If the Partner qualifies for renewal, Nordic Backup will extend the free account for another year.

6. CUSTOMER DATA
The Partner acknowledges that they are obligated to keep their customers’ data confidential. Due to security, liability, and encryption purposes, Nordic Backup will not permit the intermingling of customers’ accounts. Only one business entity will be allowed on one account.
