These Partner Terms ("Agreement") form a binding contract between Rise Growth Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 15623783), trading as Rivora, with operations also conducted through Rivora L.L.C-FZ, a free zone company registered in Dubai, UAE (together "Rivora", "we", "us"), and the individual or entity registering as a Partner ("Partner", "you"). By ticking the acceptance box and submitting the partner registration form, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.
1.The Partner Programme
- Rivora operates a partner programme under which Partners may introduce, resell and market Rivora's AI agent service (the "Service") to end clients ("Clients").
- The Partner is appointed on a non-exclusive basis. Rivora may appoint other Partners, sell direct to Clients in any territory, and operate competing programmes.
- Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, joint venture, partnership or franchise relationship. The Partner is an independent contractor and is solely responsible for its own taxes, expenses and staff.
2.Sub-Partners and Sub-Resellers
- Partners are permitted to introduce sub-partners or sub-resellers under their own commercial arrangements, provided that:
- each sub-partner registers with Rivora and accepts these Terms in its own right; and
- the introducing Partner remains responsible for the conduct of its own Clients, but is not liable for the acts or omissions of independent sub-partners who have signed their own Partner Agreement with Rivora.
- Rivora reserves the right to refuse or revoke acceptance of any sub-partner at its discretion.
3.Pricing and Commission
- Rivora will quote the Partner a per-agent monthly fee (the "Partner Rate"), being the fee Rivora retains from each Client subscription before paying commission to the Partner. The Partner Rate is confidential and may be reviewed by Rivora from time to time on not less than 60 days' written notice; reviewed rates apply to renewals and new Client agents only.
- At the point of introduction, the Partner and Rivora will agree the initial monthly subscription price the Client will pay to Rivora (the "Client Subscription Price"). The Partner's commission for each month the Client subscribes is the Client Subscription Price (as agreed at introduction) minus the Partner Rate applicable at introduction. This commission rate is fixed for the life of that Client's subscription unless varied in writing by both parties.
- Rivora may adjust the Client Subscription Price at any time after the initial sale, at its sole discretion. Any uplift above the Client Subscription Price agreed at introduction is retained in full by Rivora, and the Partner is not entitled to any share of such uplift.
- Rivora makes no representation or warranty as to the level of commission, sales volume or income any Partner will achieve.
4.Billing and Commission Payment
- Clients subscribe to and pay Rivora directly for the Service. The Partner is not responsible for invoicing or collecting payment from Clients.
- Rivora pays the Partner's commission monthly in arrears. Commission earned in any given calendar month is paid by no later than the 7th day of the following calendar month, calculated in respect of all Client subscription payments actually received and cleared by Rivora during that prior calendar month.
- Commission is payable only on Client subscription payments actually received and cleared by Rivora. No commission is payable on chargebacks, refunds, failed payments, fraudulent payments or any sum withheld or reversed by Rivora's payment processor.
- All commission amounts are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, withholding tax or other applicable taxes, which are the responsibility of the Partner. The Partner is responsible for issuing any tax-compliant invoices required in its jurisdiction.
- Rivora may, on reasonable notice, set off against commission payable any sum properly due from the Partner to Rivora.
5.Client Relationship
- For the purposes of the technology and the supply of the Service, the contractual relationship is between Rivora and the Client. The Client subscribes to Rivora, pays Rivora directly, and is bound by Rivora's standard customer terms of service.
- The Partner is the introducing party. The Partner is responsible for the initial sales conversation and the introduction of the Client to Rivora, but is not a party to the subscription agreement between Rivora and the Client.
- The Client may terminate its subscription at any time in accordance with Rivora's standard customer terms. On such termination the Partner's entitlement to commission in respect of that Client ceases for any period after the Client's last cleared payment.
- Build, configuration, integration, uptime, technical support and all other aspects of Service delivery to the Client are Rivora's responsibility.
- The Partner shall not represent that it is Rivora or that it owns the Service technology. The Partner may describe itself as a Rivora partner and may use Rivora-supplied marketing assets in accordance with clause 7.
6.Term and Termination
- This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues on a rolling month-to-month basis until terminated under this clause 6.
- Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience by giving 30 days' written notice.
- Either party may terminate immediately by written notice if the other party:
- commits a material breach which is incapable of remedy, or which it fails to remedy within 14 days of being notified;
- becomes insolvent, enters liquidation, has a receiver or administrator appointed, or ceases or threatens to cease trading; or
- engages in conduct that Rivora reasonably considers materially damaging to Rivora's brand, reputation, compliance position or relationships with Clients.
- Tail commission — commissions continue beyond termination. On termination of this Agreement (other than under clause 6.3 for cause), the Partner remains entitled to commission in respect of each Client introduced to Rivora before the termination date, for the lifetime of that Client's subscription, paid on the same monthly basis set out in clause 4 ("Tail Commission").
- The Partner's right to Tail Commission is at all times subject to the following:
- Rivora may adjust the Client Subscription Price at any time at its sole discretion; the Partner is not entitled to any share of any price uplift, as set out in clause 3.3.
- The Client may terminate its subscription at any time; on such termination the Partner's right to Tail Commission in respect of that Client ceases.
- Tail Commission is forfeit if this Agreement is terminated under clause 6.3 (for cause), or if the Partner is in subsisting material breach of clauses 7, 8, 9 or 10 at the date of termination.
- On termination of this Agreement, active Client subscriptions continue uninterrupted under the existing subscription agreement between Rivora and the Client.
- Clauses 4 (in respect of Tail Commission), 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 18 survive termination.
7.Intellectual Property
- The Service, the Rivora platform, the Rivora brand, and all underlying software, prompts, training data, configurations, models and documentation are and remain the exclusive property of Rivora and/or its licensors.
- The Partner is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Rivora-supplied marketing materials solely for the purpose of marketing and reselling the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
- The Partner must not, and must not permit any third party to: (a) reverse engineer, copy or attempt to derive source code or model weights from the Service; (b) train any competing AI system on Rivora outputs; or (c) use Rivora's name, marks, logos or screenshots in any misleading, defamatory or unauthorised way.

- Where the Partner introduces a Client to Rivora, the parties act as independent data controllers in respect of their respective dealings with Client and end-user personal data. Where Rivora processes personal data on behalf of the Partner (for example, where the Partner is the contracting party with the Client), the parties will sign a separate data processing addendum on Rivora's standard terms before any such processing commences.
- The Partner shall not provide Rivora with any special category personal data (health, biometric, political, religious, etc.) without Rivora's prior written agreement.
11.Warranties and Disclaimers
- Each party warrants that it has full authority to enter into this Agreement and that doing so does not breach any other agreement to which it is bound.
- Save as expressly set out in this Agreement, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and all other warranties, conditions and representations (express, implied, statutory or otherwise) including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement are excluded.
