Version: 2026-07-01

1. Scope and Relationship to Other Documents

1.1. Subject Matter

a) These Terms apply exclusively to participation in the Safina AI partner and referral program (hereinafter “Program”). Its subject matter is the referral of new users to Safina AI in return for commission.

b) The Program is a referral program. It does not include any resale (reselling), any purchasing discount, and no invoicing of Safina subscriptions to end customers by you.

c) You act merely as a referrer (Tippgeber). In particular, these Terms do not establish any commercial agency, brokerage, or other ongoing distribution relationship. Any claim for compensation under § 89b HGB (German Commercial Code) or comparable provisions is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

1.2. Other Documents

a) Use of the Safina service itself is governed by the Terms of Use. These Affiliate Terms do not replace the Terms of Use.

b) The processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy.

c) The specific commission tiers and rates follow from the Partner Conditions published from time to time, which are provided separately from these Terms.

d) Payouts via Stripe Connect are additionally subject to Stripe’s terms and requirements. By setting up your Connect account (onboarding), you accept the Stripe terms applicable at the time.

e) Any terms of yours that conflict with or deviate from these Terms shall not apply unless we have expressly agreed to their applicability in writing.

1.3. Acceptance and Language

a) You participate in the Program by signing up for it in the Safina App or via a route provided by us and by accepting these Terms in the version displayed at the time. We store the version identifier you accepted.

b) These Terms are made available in German and English. In the event of discrepancies, the German version shall prevail exclusively.

c) There is no entitlement to admission to the Program. We may refuse, suspend, or end participation, in particular where misuse is suspected.

2. Eligibility

a) Participation requires your own Safina user account as well as full legal capacity. If you act on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to represent it effectively.

b) For payouts, you must successfully set up a Stripe Connect account and keep it payout-ready. Commission credits can also arise without a payout-ready Connect account; a payout is only made once the requirements under Section 6 are met.

c) You are obliged to provide truthful and current information and to notify us of any changes without undue delay.

a) After signing up, you can create and manage one or more personal referral links in your partner area (e.g., for different channels). Each link contains a unique path component (e.g., /r/your-name) through which attribution takes place technically. You can name, activate, or deactivate links to the extent the Program offers this.

b) We may reject, change, or block proposed or used path components, in particular in the case of reserved terms, trademark infringements, misleading content, or misuse. We may likewise deactivate individual links.

c) You may use your active referral links to refer Safina, provided you comply with these Terms. There is no entitlement to particular paths, a particular number of links, or the permanent availability of a specific link.

3.2. Technical Process of Attribution

a) Attribution runs automatically via your referral links.

b) When the referred person opens one of your referral links, our systems store the attribution information technically, in particular locally on the device used or in the App as well as in our systems (including technical access data for the link), so that it can be used after registration. If a different referral link has already been stored, the one stored first remains authoritative.

c) After successful registration and the establishment of the first authenticated session, our systems automatically attempt to attribute the referred person to your partner account (“claim”). If the claim finally fails (e.g., because requirements are not met), the stored attribution information is discarded. In the case of temporary technical errors, the claim may be retried for as long as the information is still stored and the time window under Section 3.3 is still open.

3.3. Requirements for a Valid Referral

An automatic attribution is only valid if all of the following requirements are met:

  • The referred person is a new customer: not yet attributed to any partner and without a previous valid attribution.
  • The referred person has no prior subscription history with Safina AI.
  • The claim takes place within 72 hours of the creation of the referred person’s user account.
  • There is no self-referral (attribution of your own user account or of an account controlled by you is excluded).
  • Your partner account is active at the time of the claim, and the referral link used is active.

3.4. First Valid Referral

The first valid attribution wins permanently. Later claims by other partners for the same person have no effect.

3.5. Manual Attribution

We may attribute referrals manually, in particular to correct technical errors or in justified individual cases. A manual attribution may bypass the 72-hour window and the check for subscription history, but it does not cover self-referral and other cases of misuse.

3.6. Referral Status

The status of a referral follows the subscription status of the referred person, in particular: signed up (signed_up), trial (trialing), active (active), or cancelled/churned (churned). The status that is current according to our systems is authoritative for new commission credits.

4. Commission

4.1. Commission Tiers and Partner Conditions

a) Your commission rate is generally based on the active referred monthly recurring revenue (MRR) of your attributed referrals and on a tier system (a higher active referred MRR means a higher rate). Tier changes take place automatically, both upwards and downwards. The rate applicable at the time applies to future commission credits; entries already booked to your commission account remain unchanged.

b) The specific tiers, MRR thresholds, and percentages do not follow from these Terms but from the Partner Conditions published from time to time. The current Partner Conditions can be viewed at Partner Conditions and are displayed or linked to you in the App when you sign up for the Program.

c) The following applies to determining the relevant Partner Conditions:

  • By signing up for the Program, you accept the Partner Conditions published and displayed to you at that time.
  • For newly attributed referrals, the Partner Conditions published at the time of attribution apply, unless Section 4.5 provides otherwise.
  • Individual deviations remain possible in the following order: an individually agreed rate for a single referral, then an individually agreed rate for your partner account, then the tier rate under the Partner Conditions.

d) Changes to the published Partner Conditions (tiers, thresholds, rates) apply for the future in accordance with Sections 4.5, 9, and 12. They do not retroactively change entries already booked to your commission account.

4.2. Basis of Assessment

a) Commission only arises on paid web subscriptions of the referrals attributed to you that are billed via Stripe. Subscriptions concluded or renewed via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store are not commissionable, even if the referred person was validly attributed to you beforehand. The attribution itself remains in place in this case; if the referred person later switches to a commissionable Stripe web subscription, commission credits can arise again from that point on.

b) The basis of assessment is the invoice amount after discounts and before VAT, to the extent our billing systems report this.

c) Amounts billed manually outside Stripe are not commissionable. Please point out to referred persons that commissionable subscriptions must be concluded via the web checkout.

d) We may exclude individual products or line items from the commission base. An exclusion list may start out empty and be added to later. Only future commission credits are excluded; entries already booked remain in place unless Section 5 applies.

4.3. Clearance Period

New commission credits are initially pending for 30 days and become payable thereafter, provided no clawback under Section 5 stands in the way. We may adjust the clearance period for future commission credits; the period shown in the Program at the time is authoritative.

4.4. Currency

The commission account and payouts are kept in euros (EUR). Invoices in another currency are converted into EUR at the rate of the associated Stripe balance transaction.

4.5. Duration and Rate Protection

a) Commission only arises for as long as the referred person is active in a commission-relevant way and paid, commissionable invoices are incurred. If they cancel or are otherwise no longer active in a commission-relevant way (in particular churned), no new commission credits arise for that referral.

b) For each successfully attributed referral, a rate protection of 12 months applies to the commission rate from the time of the first commissionable payment: during this period, future commission credits for that referral are determined by the agreed system set out in Section 4.1 (including automatic tier changes based on MRR as well as any individually agreed rates). During this period, we will not unilaterally reduce the rate applicable to that referral outside this system. The rate protection does not change the fact that no new credits arise without an active, commissionable subscription.

c) After the 12 months have elapsed, we may adjust the rate applicable to future commission credits for that referral, giving at least 30 days’ notice in text form, or end the commission entitlement for future credits for that referral. Entries already booked remain unaffected unless Section 5 applies.

d) Changes to the Partner Conditions (tiers, thresholds, rates) for newly attributed referrals are governed by Sections 9 and 12 and leave the rate protection under letter b) for referrals already attributed unaffected.

4.6. No Entitlement to Minimum Revenue

There is no entitlement to a particular revenue, a particular tier, or a minimum commission.

5. Clawback and Corrections

a) In the case of refunds, we claw back the commission pro rata in line with the refunded share of the underlying invoice.

b) In the case of payment disputes (disputes/chargebacks), we claw back the affected commission in full when the dispute is opened. If the dispute is decided in favor of the original payment, the commission is credited again.

c) We may correct entries on the commission account and make adjustments, in particular in the case of incorrect bookings, misuse, self-referral, or breaches of these Terms.

d) Clawbacks may also affect amounts already paid out and may be offset against future payouts. If the balance is not sufficient, we may demand repayment.

e) You must raise objections to commission credits, clawbacks, or payouts in text form within eight weeks of receiving the respective information (e.g., in the App or by email). After that, the amounts shown are deemed approved unless you prove an error. Our system records are authoritative unless you provide evidence to the contrary.

6. Payout

a) Payouts are generally made monthly via Stripe Connect, as soon as your Connect account is payout-ready and your partner status is active.

b) The minimum payout is EUR 25 of payable balance. If your balance is below that, it is carried over to the next run.

c) A fee is passed on to you per payout: 0.25% of the payout amount before fee deduction plus EUR 0.10. Payout amount after fee = amount before fee minus that fee. The fee reflects Stripe’s costs and may be adjusted if those costs change; the applicable values are shown in the Program or in an updated version of these Terms.

d) No payout is made without a payout-ready Connect account, where the partner account is suspended or closed, or in the event of a breach of these Terms.

e) The commission amounts shown in the Program are generally net amounts. If VAT is owed on your services, we add it on the basis of the VAT status on file with us and show it in the statement. If you are a Kleinunternehmer (small business under German VAT law that does not charge VAT) or if no VAT is owed, the statement is issued without a VAT line. The details from the Stripe Connect onboarding, or from the Stripe processes we have integrated, are authoritative; submission by separate email is not provided for. You are obliged to record your status there truthfully and to keep it up to date. Safina AI does not provide tax advice.

f) Commissions are generally settled by us using the Gutschrift procedure (self-billing, meaning that we issue the settlement document instead of you invoicing us): we create the statement or Gutschrift and pay out the resulting amount via Stripe Connect. By accepting these Terms, you agree to the self-billing procedure to the extent permitted by law. You remain responsible yourself for the tax treatment of the commission and for paying any taxes owed.

7. Partner Obligations

a) You may only advertise Safina truthfully and not in a misleading way. Assurances about prices, features, or results may not go beyond our public statements.

b) You provide your own services (in particular consulting, setup, integration, or support) exclusively in your own name and for your own account. You may not hold yourself out as an employee, agent, branch, or other representative of Safina AI, and you may not create the impression that you are “from Safina” or that your service is a service of Safina AI.

c) The following are prohibited in particular:

  • Spam, unsolicited bulk communication, or other unlawful advertising
  • Trademark infringements, unless we expressly approve them
  • Misleading coupon or deal pages as well as pages that pass themselves off as Safina
  • Manipulation of attribution, fake accounts, organized incentive networks, or other fraud
  • Use of referral links in a way that deceives users

d) Your own services (consulting, setup, integration, or similar) are exclusively your business and your contract with third parties. They are not the subject of these Terms and do not create any obligation on the part of Safina AI.

e) Where we provide you with marketing materials, you may use them to refer Safina and adapt them appropriately. Misleading modifications as well as presenting our brand or materials as your own services are not permitted.

f) Any access to the settings of referred users requires their separate consent and is governed by the product flows provided for that purpose, not by these Terms alone.

g) You indemnify Safina AI against all third-party claims arising from your advertising, your assurances, or other breaches of these Terms, including reasonable costs of legal defense, to the extent you are responsible for the claims.

7.1. Confidentiality

a) You may use information about referred persons that you receive through the Program (e.g., name, status, commission-related metrics) only to handle the Program and to support the respective referral.

b) Passing such information on to third parties, using it for your own advertising outside the agreed support, or any other use for unrelated purposes is prohibited, unless permitted by law or allowed by the person concerned.

c) After the end of your participation in the Program, or at our request, such information must be deleted, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.

8. Scope of Services for Referred Users

a) Referred users use the Safina service in accordance with the Terms of Use and the product offering current at the time. These Affiliate Terms do not create any entitlement to a particular scope of features or models in favor of referred accounts.

b) We reserve the right to restrict individual features or AI models for user accounts acquired by partners, to configure them differently, or not to offer them, in particular especially cost-intensive models where economic viability is not given taking the commission and the operating costs into account. Such deviations may result in referred accounts not having the same scope of models or features as other user accounts.

c) We endeavor to keep such restrictions as limited as possible and to preserve the core benefit of the service. There is no entitlement to a particular AI model, a particular model quality, or feature parity with non-referred accounts.

d) You may not assure referred persons that all AI models or features that Safina AI advertises generally or in individual plans are available to them at all times.

9. Our Rights Regarding the Program

a) We may adjust the Program for the future, in particular the published Partner Conditions (tiers, thresholds, rates) for newly attributed referrals, exclusion lists, clearance periods, the minimum payout, and payout fees. Subject to Section 4.5, such changes do not apply retroactively to entries already booked to the commission account and leave the rate protection for referrals already attributed unaffected.

b) We implement material changes to these Terms via a new version identifier. Continued participation in the Program may require renewed acceptance; Section 12 sets out the details.

c) We may block referral links, correct attributions, suspend or close partner accounts, and adjust commissions in accordance with Section 5.

d) We may discontinue the Program as a whole. We will generally announce a discontinuation with at least 30 days’ notice. In that case, we will settle any existing pending and payable balance in accordance with Sections 4.3, 5, and 6, unless good cause (in particular misuse) stands in the way. Commission credits that have already accrued remain payable under the rules mentioned; new commission credits end with the discontinuation of the Program unless we commit otherwise.

10. Term and Termination

a) Participation runs for an indefinite period.

b) You can end your participation at any time by notifying us in text form (e.g., by email to info@safina.ai) or, where offered, by using the feature in the App.

c) We may end participation ordinarily with at least 30 days’ notice, or extraordinarily for good cause, in particular in the event of a breach of Section 7, misuse, payment fraud, or where continuation is unreasonable for us.

d) After termination, no new commission credits arise. Balance that is already pending or payable is settled under the rules of Sections 4.3, 5, and 6, unless good cause (in particular misuse) stands in the way. The Connect requirements remain necessary for payout.

e) If the payout requirements (in particular a payout-ready Connect account) are not met for more than twelve months after the end of your participation, the remaining balance expires. We will remind you at least once in text form before that period expires, provided we have a means of contacting you.

11. Liability

a) Safina AI is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence as well as for injury to life, body, or health.

b) In cases of slight negligence, we are only liable for breaches of material contractual obligations, and limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment makes the proper performance of participation in the Program possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely.

c) Otherwise, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Liability under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act) remains unaffected.

d) We are not liable for the success of your referral activities, for the actions of referred users, or for outages and requirements of third parties (in particular Stripe, Apple App Store, Google Play Store).

12. Amendments to These Terms

a) We may amend these Terms. We will inform you about a planned new version at least 30 days before the intended effective date in the App and/or in text form, unless the change is exclusively to your benefit, is purely editorial, or serves mandatory law.

b) Continued participation in the Program may require renewed acceptance of the new version. If you do not accept, your participation ends when the new version takes effect; Section 10 d) applies accordingly. The rate protection under Section 4.5 for referrals already attributed remains unaffected by a mere refusal of new program conditions, provided we do not end participation under Section 10 and provided Sections 4.5 c) and 9 d) do not provide otherwise.

c) We may make purely editorial changes or adaptations to mandatory law without renewed acceptance; we will inform you about them where reasonable.

13. Final Provisions

a) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are an entrepreneur, the place of jurisdiction is Munich, to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected to the extent they are applicable.

b) Should a provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

c) You may only transfer rights and obligations under these Terms with our prior consent.
