VENNOR Campus Partner Terms

1. About these Terms and your acceptance

Last updated: 16 June 2026 | Version 1.0.0

These Campus Partner Terms (the "Partner Terms" or these "Terms") govern your participation in the VENNOR Campus Partner programme (the "Programme"), an affiliate and referral programme operated by Vennor (Pty) Ltd ("Vennor", "we", "us" or "our"), a private company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa under company registration number 2024/814236/07, with its registered office at KWAMAGWAZA MISSION, MELMOTH, KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA, 3835.

Vennor operates the VENNOR web app, the VENNOR desktop app (Windows) and the VENNOR mobile app (together, the "Services" or the "Platform"), available at https://vennor.co.za. The Programme allows you (a "Campus Partner", "Partner" or "you") to refer students to Vennor and to earn commission when those students subscribe to a paid plan.

These Terms are additional to our other agreements

These Partner Terms are additional to, and form part of, our main Terms of Service, and do not replace them. By participating in the Programme you remain bound by:

• the VENNOR Terms of Service, which govern your use of the Platform generally;
• the VENNOR Privacy Policy and the Campus Partner Privacy Notice, which explain how we process personal information; and
• the VENNOR Competition Rules, where you also take part in the Streak Competition.

Where these Partner Terms conflict with the main Terms of Service specifically in relation to the Programme, these Partner Terms prevail to the extent of that conflict. In all other respects the main Terms of Service apply.

How you accept these Terms

In accordance with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA), these Terms are concluded electronically and constitute a valid and binding agreement. You accept these Terms when you enrol in the Programme, click to accept them, or otherwise begin using your affiliate code. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not enrol in or use the Programme.

We have written these Terms in plain and understandable language, as required by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA). If anything is unclear, contact us at partners@vennor.co.za before you accept.

2. Definitions

In these Terms, unless the context indicates otherwise:

• "Affiliate Code" means the unique referral code (and any associated referral link) we issue to you on enrolment, used to attribute Qualifying Referrals to you.
• "Commission" means the amount payable to you under these Terms in respect of a Qualifying Referral, calculated as set out in section 5.
• "FICA" means the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 and its regulations.
• "KYC" means the "know-your-customer" identity-verification process described in section 7.
• "Ledger" means the earnings record we maintain in your Partner account showing accrued, pending, paid and reversed Commission.
• "Paystack" means our licensed payment partner, Paystack, a registered payment service provider through which subscription payments and payouts are processed.
• "POPIA" means the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.
• "Qualifying Referral" means a referral that meets all the conditions in section 4.
• "Referred Student" means a person who creates a VENNOR student account using, or attributed to, your Affiliate Code.
• "Subscription" means a paid VENNOR plan (currently Exam Pro or Semester Master), billed in South African Rand (ZAR).
• "Withdrawal" or "Payout" means a transfer of available Commission from your Ledger to your verified South African bank account.

Words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa, and a reference to a statute is to that statute as amended or replaced from time to time.

3. Who may be a Campus Partner

3.1 Eligibility to enrol

To enrol as a Campus Partner you must:

• hold a valid VENNOR account in good standing and have accepted the main Terms of Service;
• be at least 13 years of age (the minimum age to use the Platform). If you are 13–17 years old, a parent or legal guardian must give verifiable consent to your participation, and no payout may be made to a person under 18 (see section 3.2);
• provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself, and keep it up to date; and
• not be barred from the Programme under these Terms, the main Terms of Service, or applicable law.

3.2 You must be 18 or older to receive payouts

Because Payouts involve a banking and KYC relationship that requires legal capacity to contract, you must be at least 18 years of age, and have legal capacity, to request or receive any Payout. Commission may accrue on your Ledger before then, but it cannot be paid out until you meet this requirement and complete verification under section 7.

3.3 Accurate information and one account

You warrant that all information you give us - including your name, identity details, contact details, bank-account details, address and tax number - is true and accurate. You may hold only one Partner account unless we agree otherwise in writing. Creating multiple or fictitious accounts to manipulate referrals or Commission is a material breach (see section 6).

3.4 We may decline or remove Partners

Enrolment is at Vennor's discretion. We may decline any application, or suspend or remove any Partner, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, where verification fails, or where participation would expose Vennor to legal, regulatory, reputational or fraud risk.

4. Enrolment, the Affiliate Code and how referrals work

4.1 Enrolment and your Affiliate Code

On enrolment we issue you a unique Affiliate Code through your Partner dashboard. The Affiliate Code is personal to you, is licensed (not assigned) to you under these Terms, and remains Vennor's property. You may share it only in the permitted ways set out in section 6.

4.2 What counts as a Qualifying Referral

A Qualifying Referral arises only when all of the following are met:

1. a new student creates a VENNOR account using, or correctly attributed to, your Affiliate Code;
2. the Referred Student's eligibility is confirmed through our student-email verification process (for example, verification of a recognised student email address), where applicable;
3. the Referred Student takes out a paid Subscription (Exam Pro or Semester Master); and
4. the relevant subscription payment is successfully collected and not reversed.

Attribution is determined by Vennor's own systems and records, which are the authoritative record of whether a referral is attributed to you. Self-referrals do not qualify (see section 6).

4.3 Recurring commission for as long as the Subscription is active and paid

For each Qualifying Referral, you earn recurring Commission on the referred Subscription for as long as that Subscription remains active and fully paid - that is, you continue to earn on each successful billing cycle of that Referred Student's plan, on the full-split basis described in section 5, until the Subscription is cancelled, lapses, is downgraded in a way that ends eligibility, or is otherwise terminated.

4.4 No commission on refunded, charged-back or fraudulent subscriptions

No Commission is earned, and any Commission already credited will be reversed (clawed back), in respect of any subscription payment that is:

• refunded, in whole or in part;
• subject to a chargeback, dispute or reversal;
• linked to fraud, abuse, or a breach of these Terms (including self-referral, cookie-stuffing or incentivised fraud under section 6); or
• otherwise found to be invalid, duplicated or not genuinely attributable to you.

Clawback under this clause may be applied against your Ledger balance or future Commission (see section 11).

5. Commission, the Ledger and how earnings are calculated

5.1 Commission basis

Commission is calculated on the recurring, full-split basis described in your Partner dashboard at the applicable commission rate. "Full-split" means that, for each successful billing cycle of a Qualifying Referral's Subscription, the Commission is calculated on the full eligible subscription amount for that cycle, on the terms then in force. The exact current rate and the eligible base are shown in your dashboard and may be expressed as a percentage or split of the net subscription value.

Where a specific Rand amount or percentage is not stated in these Terms, the applicable figure is the rate displayed in your Partner dashboard at the relevant time [current commission rate / split].

5.2 The Ledger

We maintain an earnings Ledger in your Partner account recording:

• accrued / pending Commission (earned but not yet available for Payout, for example during a holding period for refunds and chargebacks);
• available Commission (cleared and eligible for Withdrawal);
• paid Commission; and
• reversed / clawed-back Commission.

The Ledger, together with Vennor's records, is the authoritative record of your earnings. Commission is denominated and paid in South African Rand (ZAR).

5.3 Holding period

Commission generally becomes available only after a reasonable holding period to allow for refunds, chargebacks and fraud checks. We may extend this period where a dispute, investigation or verification issue arises.

5.4 Earnings summaries and payslips

You can view your earnings, request earnings summaries, and download payslips / payment records from your Partner dashboard. These records are provided for your convenience and tax purposes (see section 8) and do not themselves create any entitlement beyond Commission validly earned under these Terms.

6. Prohibited promotion and conduct

You must promote VENNOR honestly, lawfully and in line with these Terms. The following are strictly prohibited and constitute a material breach.

6.1 Spam and unlawful communications

No unsolicited bulk email, SMS, messaging or other spam, and no marketing that breaches POPIA's direct-marketing rules, the CPA or any other applicable law.

6.2 Misleading or false claims

No false, exaggerated or misleading claims about VENNOR, its features, pricing, results, endorsements or affiliations. You may not represent that you speak for Vennor or that VENNOR guarantees academic outcomes.

6.3 Trademark, keyword and paid-search misuse

You may not:

• bid on, or use, "Vennor" or confusingly similar brand terms (or common misspellings) in paid search advertising (for example Google Ads), as keywords, ad copy or display URLs;
• register or use domains, social handles, or usernames that misuse the Vennor name or marks; or
• engage in any trademark or keyword misuse that diverts our own brand traffic or implies an official relationship beyond your role as a Partner.

6.4 Self-referral and fraud techniques

No:

• self-referral (referring yourself, your own additional accounts, or accounts you control);
• cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, hidden links, iframes, or any technique that drops attribution without a genuine user action;
• incentivised fraud, fake sign-ups, bot traffic, or paying users to subscribe-and-cancel to harvest Commission; or
• any attempt to manipulate attribution, the Ledger, or our verification systems.

6.5 Competing platforms and services

In order to preserve the integrity and value of the Programme, during your active participation as a Campus Partner you must not use your Vennor affiliate presence — including your Affiliate Code, any Vennor-branded promotional content, or the audience and goodwill built through the Programme — to simultaneously promote, endorse, or direct referrals to any product, service or platform that is in direct and material competition with Vennor's core AI-assisted study and learning services. This clause does not restrict your general personal use of other platforms, your independent creative content unrelated to study-technology, or any brand partnerships you hold in unrelated categories. Where you are uncertain whether a particular arrangement falls within this restriction, you are encouraged to seek clarification from us at partners@vennor.co.za before proceeding.

6.6 Consequences

If you breach this section we may, in our discretion and in addition to any other remedy: withhold or reverse (claw back) affected Commission; suspend or disable your Affiliate Code; suspend or terminate your participation; remove your Partner account; and report unlawful conduct to the relevant authorities. We may also recover amounts wrongly paid to you (see section 11).

7. Withdrawals and payouts (and FICA verification)

7.1 How Payouts work

You may request a Withdrawal of available Commission from your Ledger to your verified South African bank account. Payouts are processed through Paystack, our licensed, FICA-accountable payment partner. You authorise us to instruct Paystack to make Payouts on your behalf using the details you provide.

7.2 Minimum threshold and schedule

• Withdrawals are subject to a minimum payout threshold [minimum payout amount, ZAR]; available balances below the threshold roll over until the threshold is met.
• Payouts are processed on our standard payout schedule [payout schedule / frequency] and may take additional time to clear through the banking system.
• We may set, and reasonably change, thresholds, schedules and any processing fees, with notice as set out in section 11.

7.3 FICA and KYC verification - required before any Payout

Because Payouts involve regulated money movement, you must successfully complete identity verification / KYC before we make any Payout to you. As part of this process you must provide, where applicable:

• a valid South African identity document, smart ID card or passport (proof of identity);
• proof of your bank account in your own name (for example a bank confirmation letter or stamped statement); and
• proof of residential address where reasonably required.

We (and/or Paystack as a FICA-accountable institution) may carry out these checks, request additional information, and re-verify you periodically. Vennor retains these verification records for the period required by FICA and related laws, and processes them in accordance with the Campus Partner Privacy Notice (see section 9).

7.4 We may withhold or delay Payouts

We may withhold, delay, or decline a Payout where:

• verification or KYC is incomplete, has failed, or needs to be refreshed;
• the bank account is not in your name or cannot be verified;
• we reasonably suspect fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions, or other AML/CFT concerns, or a breach of these Terms; or
• the law, a court, a regulator, or Paystack requires us to do so.

Where we are required to report or freeze funds under FICA or other law, we will comply with that obligation. Nothing in this section obliges us to pay Commission that was not validly earned.

8. Tax - you are responsible for your own tax

8.1 You are an independent contractor for tax purposes

You participate in the Programme as an independent contractor (see section 10), and you alone are responsible for all taxes arising from your Commission, including income tax and, if you are or become liable, value-added tax (VAT). Commission is paid to you gross, unless the law requires otherwise or section 8.3 applies.

8.2 Tax number and records

We may request your SARS income-tax reference number and other tax information, and you must provide it where reasonably requested (including to enable a Payout or to meet a legal obligation). We may issue you payment records - for example payslips or IT3-style records - reflecting Commission paid. These are provided to assist you; you remain responsible for correctly declaring and paying tax on your Commission income to the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

8.3 Withholding and reporting where the law requires

Where any law, regulation, SARS directive or court order requires it, Vennor may withhold, deduct, or report amounts from or in respect of your Commission, and may share information with SARS or other authorities. Any amount so withheld or deducted is treated as paid to you for the purposes of these Terms.

8.4 No tax advice

Vennor does not give you tax, legal or financial advice. You should obtain your own professional advice about your tax position.

9. No employment - independent-contractor relationship

Your relationship with Vennor under the Programme is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates any:

• employment relationship (you are not an employee of Vennor and are not entitled to any employee benefits, leave, UIF, or other entitlements under the Basic Conditions of Employment Act or the Labour Relations Act);
• partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship; or
• authority for you to bind Vennor, incur obligations on its behalf, or make any representation, warranty or promise on its behalf.

You control how, when and where you promote VENNOR within these Terms, you bear your own costs and risks, and you are responsible for your own tax, financial and regulatory compliance.

10. Data protection (POPIA)

10.1 How we handle Partner and referral data

In running the Programme, Vennor processes personal information about you (including KYC, banking and tax information) and about Referred Students, in accordance with POPIA, the VENNOR Privacy Policy and the Campus Partner Privacy Notice. The Campus Partner Privacy Notice explains what we collect, why, the lawful basis, how long we keep it (including FICA retention), your rights as a data subject, and our use of sub-processors.

10.2 Cross-border processing

Some processing takes place outside South Africa through our sub-processors (including Supabase, Cloudflare, Paystack, Amazon Web Services / Amazon SES, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and LinkedIn). Such transfers are made subject to the safeguards required by section 72 of POPIA.

10.3 Your obligations regarding Referred Students' information

If you collect or use any personal information of prospective Referred Students (for example to share your Affiliate Code), you must do so lawfully and in compliance with POPIA, including obtaining any consent required for direct marketing, honouring opt-outs, and not misusing contact lists. You must not share Referred Students' personal information with Vennor other than as the Programme intends, and you must not use it for any purpose outside the Programme.

10.4 Information Officer and the Regulator

Questions about personal information may be directed to our Information Officer, [Information Officer name], at informationofficer@vennor.co.za or privacy@vennor.co.za. You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator (South Africa): inforeg@inforegulator.org.za, https://inforegulator.org.za.

11. Confidentiality

In the course of the Programme you may receive confidential information of Vennor - for example non-public details of commission rates, Programme mechanics, performance data, product roadmaps, security measures, or business information not generally known to the public.

You must:

• keep such confidential information confidential and use it only to perform under these Terms;
• not disclose it to any third party without our prior written consent, except where disclosure is required by law (in which case you must, where lawful, notify us first); and
• protect it with at least reasonable care.

This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of yours, that you already lawfully held, or that you independently developed. The confidentiality obligation survives termination of these Terms.

12. Intellectual property and brand-use licence

12.1 Vennor owns its IP

Vennor owns (or is licensed to use) all intellectual property in the VENNOR name, logos, trade marks, the Platform, content and the Affiliate Code. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that intellectual property to you.

12.2 Limited brand-use licence

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the VENNOR name, approved logos and approved promotional materials solely to promote VENNOR under the Programme, and strictly in accordance with Vennor's brand guidelines [link to brand guidelines] as updated from time to time. You must:

• use only current, approved marks and materials;
• not alter, distort or combine the marks with others without consent;
• not register or claim any rights in our marks; and
• comply with section 6 (prohibited promotion).

12.3 Revocation

This licence ends automatically when your participation ends or when we revoke it. On revocation you must stop using all Vennor marks and materials and remove them from your channels.

13. Programme changes, suspension, clawback and termination

13.1 Changes to the Programme and commission rates

We may change the Programme, these Terms, thresholds, schedules, eligibility rules and commission rates from time to time. We will give you reasonable prior notice of any change to the commission rate or any other materially adverse change (for example by email or in your dashboard). Changes apply to Commission earned after the change takes effect; your continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13.2 Suspension

We may suspend your participation, Affiliate Code or Payouts immediately where we reasonably suspect a breach, fraud, AML/CFT or verification concern, or a legal or regulatory requirement, while we investigate.

13.3 Clawback of wrongly-paid or fraud-linked Commission

We may reverse, deduct or reclaim any Commission that was:

• paid or credited in error;
• attributable to refunded, charged-back, cancelled, fraudulent or invalid subscriptions; or
• earned in breach of these Terms.

We may set off such amounts against your Ledger balance or future Commission, and where necessary recover them from you as a debt.

13.4 Termination

Either party may terminate your participation on notice. We may terminate immediately for material breach, fraud, or where required by law.

13.5 Effect on unpaid balances

On termination:

• you must stop using your Affiliate Code and all Vennor marks;
• validly earned, available and uncontested Commission above the minimum threshold will be paid on the next normal payout cycle, provided you have completed KYC and there is no fraud, dispute or legal impediment;
• Commission that is pending, contested, fraud-linked, or subject to clawback or legal restriction may be withheld or forfeited; and
• sections that by their nature should survive (including confidentiality, tax, IP, clawback, limitation of liability and governing law) survive termination.

14. Warranties, indemnity and limitation of liability

14.1 Your warranties and indemnity

You warrant that you will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws (including POPIA, the CPA, ECTA, FICA and tax laws) in your promotion of VENNOR. You indemnify and hold Vennor harmless against any claim, loss, fine, penalty or cost (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your breach of these Terms, your unlawful or misleading promotion, or your misuse of personal information.

14.2 Programme provided "as is"

The Programme is provided "as is". We do not guarantee any minimum earnings, any number of referrals, continuous availability of the Programme, or that any particular referral will qualify.

14.3 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and without limiting or excluding any right you have under the CPA or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, Vennor is not liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of anticipated earnings, or loss of opportunity arising from the Programme.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vennor's total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with the Programme is limited to the total Commission validly paid to you in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14.4 Statutory rights preserved

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under South African law, including under the CPA. Your statutory consumer rights that cannot be contracted out of remain unaffected.

15. General

15.1 Whole agreement

These Terms, together with the documents referred to in section 1, are the whole agreement between you and Vennor regarding the Programme.

15.2 Assignment

You may not cede, assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may cede or assign ours, including to a successor in our business.

15.3 Severability and waiver

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.

15.4 Notices

Formal legal notices to Vennor must be sent to legal@vennor.co.za and to KWAMAGWAZA MISSION, MELMOTH, KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA, 3835. We may give you notice via your Partner dashboard or the email address on your account.

15.5 Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, and you consent to the jurisdiction of the South African courts in respect of any dispute arising from or relating to the Programme.
