Webster partner terms

Participants must be 18 or older, act as a business or self-employed trader and, where required, hold a proper business registration.

Private consumers without business status are not eligible.

Applications must include complete and truthful details and a valid email address. Webster may accept or reject applications at its discretion and may require suitable proof of business status before payout.

Partners accepted as founding partners on or before 30 Sep 2026 receive, for each qualified referred customer:

• 50% of commissionable net revenue for the first month and
• 20% of commissionable net revenue for subsequent months.

The rate applicable to a conversion is snapshotted on successful attribution. Later changes to publicly offered rates do not change that rate for already attributed customers.

Commissionable net revenue means the amount Webster actually receives for a paid Webster plan subscription, less:

• VAT,
• discounts and coupons,
• credits,
• refunds and
• chargebacks.

In particular, the following are not commissionable:

• credit packs,
• credit top-ups,
• free or unpaid trials and
• other add-ons,

unless Webster expressly agrees otherwise.

For annually billed subscriptions, the net subscription price is allocated evenly across the months of the relevant subscription period for commission calculation.

The first-month rate applies to the first month. The recurring rate applies to subsequent months.

Example: For an annual subscription with commissionable net revenue of €1,200, commission is calculated on €100 per month. 50% applies to the first month and 20% to each subsequent month.

Recurring commission accrues while the referred customer maintains a commissionable paid Webster subscription and the related payments actually arrive at Webster.

If the customer switches paid plans, commission is calculated on the commissionable net revenue of the new plan.

If the subscription ends, no further commissions accrue for periods without a commissionable payment.

A click on the partner’s personal referral path (/r/ followed by the referral code) sets a first-party cookie with a 30-day lifetime.

If the user starts a commissionable subscription within that window and the conversion can be technically attributed to the partner, the related workspace is attributed to the partner.

Commission only accrues once the related commissionable payment has successfully arrived at Webster.

Self-referrals are not allowed. This includes in particular sign-ups with the partner’s own email, the partner’s own Webster account, or other sign-ups economically attributable to the partner.

Commissions are settled by credit note.

By joining the partner program, the partner agrees that Webster prepares the settlement for the partner’s referral services. The partner generally does not issue their own invoice for these commissions.

Each credit note is provided to the partner electronically.

The partner must review the credit notes provided and notify Webster without delay of incorrect company, tax, or settlement details.

When joining, the partner must provide complete and correct company and tax details and notify Webster of changes without delay.

This includes in particular:

• legal name,
• business address,
• country of establishment,
• tax number where required,
• VAT ID where available or required,
• VAT status and
• payment details required for payouts.

The partner is responsible for the accuracy and currency of these details.

Whether and to what extent VAT is shown on a commission depends on the applicable tax rules and in particular on the partner’s seat and VAT status.

Where German VAT is due on the referral service and must be shown by the partner, it is shown and paid in addition to the net commission on the credit note.

Where tax liability shifts to Webster, including applicable reverse-charge cases, no corresponding VAT is paid out to the partner and the credit note is treated accordingly.

If the German small-business exemption (§ 19 UStG) applies, no VAT is shown.

The partner alone is responsible for the proper tax treatment of their income.

Newly accrued commissions remain on a 14-day hold first.

If the underlying customer payment is fully or partly refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed within or after that period, the related commission is fully or partly reversed.

If the commission has already been paid out, Webster may net the amount against future commissions. Where netting is not possible, Webster may reclaim the overpaid commission.

Commissions released after the hold period are payable.

Payouts are generally made monthly by SEPA to the IBAN saved in the partner dashboard.

The partner is responsible for keeping correct and current payout details on file.

A payout may be withheld pending clarification if required company, tax, or payment details are missing or inconsistent, or if there is a reasonable suspicion of abuse.

Partners may promote Webster only truthfully and transparently.

In particular, the following are not allowed:

• brand bidding on “Webster” or comparable Webster trademarks without prior consent,
• spam or unsolicited mass advertising,
• misleading or demonstrably false claims about Webster,
• cookie stuffing or comparable attribution manipulation,
• artificially created or manipulated conversions,
• self-referrals,
• misrepresenting identity or business status and
• other attempts to generate unauthorized commissions.

The partner is also solely responsible for labeling advertising as advertising or commercial communication as required by applicable law.

For a serious breach of these terms — in particular fraud, self-referrals, cookie stuffing, spam, manipulated conversions, or intentionally misleading advertising — Webster may suspend or end participation with immediate effect.

Commissions arising from or attributable to such a breach may be withheld, reversed, or reclaimed.

If participation ends for a serious breach, the claim to future recurring commissions ends with that termination.

The partner or Webster may end participation in the partner program for the future.

After ordinary termination, no new attributions are created.

Customers validly attributed before termination remain attributed to the partner. Recurring commissions for those customers continue under these terms while each customer maintains a commissionable subscription and related payments arrive at Webster.

Commissions already accrued but not yet paid remain subject to the hold, refund, and chargeback rules.

Webster may change these partner terms and publicly offered commission rates with effect for the future.

Rate changes generally apply only to future attributions.

The rate snapshotted on an existing attribution remains authoritative for that attribution unless these terms expressly provide otherwise.

Material changes to these terms will be communicated to participating partners in an appropriate way.

Example earnings or commission calculations on the Webster website are for illustration of the commission model shown only.

They are not a guarantee, forecast, or statement of typical or expected partner earnings.

Unless expressly marked otherwise, such calculations are not testimonials or actual earnings of existing partners.

If any provision of these partner terms is or becomes wholly or partly invalid, the remaining provisions stay in effect.

German law applies.

In addition to these partner terms, the legal notices published on the Webster website apply, in particular the legal notice and privacy policy.
