Full terms and conditions such as payout method (ACH), payment schedule (monthly in arrears), etc., apply and are indicated below. Contact your SAM or SE directly with any questions.
By participating, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
(1) A partner sales representative (“you” or “PSR”) must enroll in the 2023 Partner Referral Sales Incentive via the Partner Referral Sales Incentive enrollment form (https://www.avalara.com/simplify/en/partner/avalara-referral-program/avalara-partner-referral-incentive.html). Enrolling is defined as accepting the terms and conditions outlined in this document, emailing your W-9 form (if U.S. resident) or W-8BEN form (if Canadian resident) and ACH payment information to PartnerSPIFF@avalara.com. If you enroll mid-month, your enrollment will begin at the beginning of that same month (i.e., PSR enrolls on 12/15/2023, their eligible period begins on 12/1/2023. Back payments will not be made prior to the month in which you enrolled.)
(2) To be eligible, you must be, at the time of referral through the sales incentive, employed and/or contracted with an official partner of Avalara, a resident of the United States or Canada, and permitted under your employer’s policy to participate and receive referral sales incentives. Please confirm with your employer whether you are eligible to participate in this sales incentive, it is your responsibility to do so, and you must do so before you enroll. If your company does NOT receive commission payments from Avalara, you cannot participate in the 2023 Partner Referral Sales Incentive.
(3) You are eligible to receive one (1) $250 payment for every two (2) accounts referred in a calendar month (maximum payout of $500) by submitting your lead via Avalara Partner Central (www.avalara.com/partnercentral), the Partner Referral page (https://www.avalara.com/simplify/en/partner/avalara-referral-program.html), or via your SAM/SE.
(4) Referrals must be for qualified leads for connectors listed in your Partner Central account. A “qualified lead” means a prospect for such a connector that (i) is interested in sales tax automation, whose company can benefit from sales tax automation, and who is interested in having a live conversation with an Avalara representative, (ii) is not an existing Avalara customer, and (iii) is a non-active opportunity at the time you schedule the call. A “non-active opportunity” means a prospective customer who is not currently engaged in a sales cycle and is not in an open opportunity stage in Avalara’s internal CRM database. Please note that only the first opportunity per new account referral will qualify.
(5) You must provide company business email addresses for yourself and the prospect. Personal email addresses (such as email aliases through Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) do not qualify. Leads from your company (or the company domain) do not qualify. Avalara reserves the right to disqualify any lead in its discretion.
(6) Sales incentive payouts will be made through ACH payment to the PSR, after the promotional period, for amounts earned during the month just ended. As part of your enrollment, recipients must provide a valid completed and signed individual W-9 form (if U.S. resident) or W-8BEN form (if Canadian resident), as appropriate, and ACH transfer routing information. Recipients are solely responsible for any tax payments and reporting for amounts received. The sales incentive period runs until 12/31/2023. PSRs are given one month after the period ends to submit their payment paperwork. Payments not processed due to missing W-9 or W-8BEN and ACH paperwork cannot be made after 1/31/2024.
(7) This offer cannot be combined with any other offers and is void where prohibited by law unless otherwise indicated.
(8) Avalara may suspend, terminate, or modify this sales incentive at any time, without notice, and reserves the right to disqualify anyone from participation.
(9) All determinations will be made by Avalara in its sole discretion and are final and binding.
