The terms, in plain language

The figures on this page are read from the programme’s current settings.

• Commissions are counted and paid in US dollars, and only payments made in US dollars earn one.
• A commission is a percentage of what the customer actually paid for that charge. A discounted payment or a prorated upgrade charge earns the percentage of that amount, not of the list price. The result is rounded down to the cent. The same rates apply to personal, business and enterprise plans.
• 10% of a referred customer’s first payment, once per customer. That means the first payment the customer ever makes: someone who first paid while the programme was paused, or while your account was suspended, counts as a renewing customer afterwards.
• 10% of the upgrade payment when a referred customer moves to a higher plan. An upgrade is the first payment on a higher plan than the customer has ever paid for, and it earns once per step up: personal to business, business to enterprise. A customer who drops down and later comes back up is renewing, not upgrading. An upgrade made while the programme was paused, or while your account was suspended, is not owed later. The renewal limit does not apply to upgrades.
• 5% of each renewal payment the customer makes, meaning every payment that is neither a first payment nor an upgrade. The current terms set no limit on the number of renewals.
• No single commission is more than $1,000.00, whatever the customer paid.
• Every commission waits 14 days after the customer’s payment and cannot be approved before that hold period ends. If the payment is refunded or disputed, its commission is cancelled. Once the hold period ends, a valid commission is approved and added to your payable balance.

• You choose how you are paid from the payout methods on offer. Each has its own minimum payout:

  • PayPalMinimum payout $20.00
  • Bank transferMinimum payout $50.00
  • STC PayMinimum payout $20.00

  Bank transfers are paid to IBAN accounts only. A plain account number cannot be paid. We may stop offering a payout method. Your balance is kept and you are asked to connect another account.

• Payouts are processed once a month, starting on day 28, for approved balances that have reached the minimum of the connected payout method. Transfers are sent by hand and can take several business days to arrive. A balance below the minimum is not lost. It carries over to the next month.
• You connect your payout account in your dashboard and confirm it through a link sent to the e-mail address you sign in to Bayan with, not to the payout account. Nothing is paid to an unconfirmed account. After you connect or change it, nothing is paid to it for 5 days, as a security hold. After the e-mail address, password or two-factor setting of your account changes, payout accounts are locked for 3 days.
• Payouts are sent in US dollars. If your account is in another currency, your provider or bank converts it at its own rate. Transfer and currency-conversion fees charged by the payout provider or the receiving bank are borne by you. You are responsible for the accuracy of your payout account details and for your own taxes.
• If a transfer bounces or cannot be delivered, the payout is cancelled and its amount returns to your approved balance. If a payment is refunded or disputed after its commission was paid out, we may withhold that amount from your later commissions.
• Bayan never asks for card numbers, passwords for other services or one-time codes, in your dashboard or by e-mail. The only password we ask for is your own Bayan password, on the Bayan site, when you connect a payout account.
• A referral counts when a new customer creates their account within 30 days of clicking your link, or enters your code on the sign-up form. A code entered at sign-up takes precedence over a link clicked earlier. Attribution is set once, at sign-up, and does not change afterwards. People who already have an account cannot be attributed to you. The window can change, and it is never longer than 90 days.
• You earn nothing from your own payments, from a workspace you created or belong to, or from a payment you make on someone else’s behalf.
• Commissions linked to fraud or abuse can be rejected, and an account that abuses the programme can be suspended. A suspended affiliate earns no new commissions and receives no payouts.
• The rates and rules of the programme can change, and the programme can be paused. Each commission uses the rate in force when the customer’s payment is made. This page always shows the terms in force.
