# Referral agreement

Pay a partner or customer a fee for sending you new business, with clear rules on when it is earned.

Before you send it

Referral fees can be limited, banned or need to be disclosed in some trades and places, for example finance, insurance, health, property and law. Privacy and marketing laws also limit how a person's details may be passed on. Check the rules for your field and place, and ask a lawyer to review this agreement before you sign it. This is not legal advice.

### Referral agreement

**Date:** 20 December 2027 **Starts:** 1 January 2028

## The parties

**Northgate Building Ltd** 5 Market Street, Dublin, D02 XY12, Ireland

("the Company")

**Sofia Marin Design Studio** 18 Canal Walk, Cork, T12 EF78, Ireland

("the Referrer")

The Company and the Referrer are together "the parties".

## 1. Purpose and status

The Referrer may introduce potential customers to the Company. The Company will pay a fee for referrals that lead to business, as set out in this agreement.

The Referrer is an independent business or person. It is not an employee, agent, partner or representative of the Company. It has no authority to make promises, quote prices, accept orders, sign contracts or take money for the Company, and it must not say or suggest that it has. The Referrer decides whether and how to refer, and is not obliged to refer anyone.

## 2. What is referred

Customers who buy a home extension or renovation service from Northgate Building Ltd.

## 3. What counts as a referral

A new customer, not already known to the company in the last 12 months, who the referrer introduces by email or through the referral form, and who signs a contract within 6 months.

The Company decides whether to accept each customer and on what terms. It may refuse any customer for any lawful reason, and it has no duty to make an offer. A customer's contract is with the Company alone.

- ### How the referrer registers a lead The Company will confirm each lead in writing. For example: By email to leads@northgate.example, with the person's name, contact details and what they need, after the person has agreed to be contacted.
- ### Protection period for a registered lead How long a sale to that lead still counts as this referrer's. For example: 9 months from the date the Company confirms the lead
- ### Fee A fixed amount or a percentage. Use one line for each type of referral if the fee differs. For example: 5 percent of the contract price, excluding tax
