Master Partner Agreement
Effective February 19, 2024 we have updated our existing master partnership agreement to incorporate a new type of partner, our Developer Partner. Thank you for continuing to be part of the SafetyCulture family.
This Agreement is made on the date on which You accept the terms of this Agreement (the Effective Date) by and between the SafetyCulture entity that owns or operates the SafetyCulture Products that the Partner is referring or reselling (as applicable) listed here (SafetyCulture) and the person or entity agreeing to enter into this Agreement (You or the Partner) (each a Party or collectively, the Parties). The Partner would like to participate in SafetyCulture’s partner program (the Program). This Agreement (which includes any appendix and schedule attached hereto) governs the Program and the relationship between SafetyCulture and the Partner.
You warrant that you are over the age of eighteen and have the power and authority to enter into and perform your obligations under this Agreement.

You agree to the terms of this Agreement when you click on the “I agree” button that is presented to you at the time of submitting your details to the Partner Program. If you do not agree with this Agreement, do not click the “I agree” button and notify SafetyCulture that you do not wish to be part of the Partner Program.

Commercial Schedule
1. Benefits
- The Partner Status attributable to the Partner is that which is identified in the Schedule of Benefits set out in Section 2.
- The Partner will receive the benefits based on the Deal Type and, if applicable, the Partner Status. These may include:
- a Customer Discount;
- a Partner Discount;
- the Commission Amount in respect of the Total Revenue attributable to the Partner; and
- all other benefits as may be notified by SafetyCulture to the Partner from time to time.
- The Customer Discount and Partner Discount can be used by applying the coupon code made available to the Partner or requesting SafetyCulture to establish the account via email. The relevant discount will remain valid for long as the Customer remains a paying SafetyCulture Customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing by SafetyCulture.
- The Partner will be paid the Commission Amount in the currency specified in the partner sign-up form. Where the Customer is billed in a currency other than that which has been specified in the partner sign-up form, SafetyCulture will make the applicable currency conversions for the Partner’s Commission Amount payment in accordance with SafetyCulture’s standard currency conversion practice.
- The Partner must meet the Minimum New Sales Threshold attributable to its Partner Status in each successive 12-month period. For the purposes of determining the Minimum New Sales Threshold, “New Sales” means any net-new sales of the SafetyCulture Products to customers and for the avoidance of doubt, excludes renewals from existing Customers.
- If the Partner does not meet the Minimum New Sales Threshold in a 12-month period, it will be downgraded to the applicable Partner Status (including all benefits attributable to the lower Partner Status) for the next 12-month period. For example, if the Partner is a GOLD Status member and does not refer or resell at least $30,000 in a 12-month period, it will be downgraded to a SILVER Status member, which would include its benefit being reduced. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Partner is a SILVER status member it will not be downgraded and will remain a SILVER status member for so long as the Agreement is on foot.
- If the Partner meets a higher Partner Status New Sales Threshold in a 12-month period, the Partner will be immediately upgraded to the applicable Partner Status (including all benefits attributable to the higher Partner Status) for the next 12-month period. For example, if the Partner is a GOLD Status member and refers or resells at least $250,000 in a 12-month period, it will be upgraded to a PLATINUM Status member, which would include its benefit being increased. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Partner is a PLATINUM Status member and maintains the Minimum New Sales Threshold, it will continue to be a PLATINUM Status member.
