Aloware Affiliate & Lead Referral Partner Agreement & ToS V2.0509
Aloware’s Affiliate & Lead Referral Program is designed for marketers and system integrators within the CCaaS (Contact Center as a Service) industry who have a strong and reputable presence in our target audience. Our partners create and share content about Aloware, and promote the use of our contact center software and its integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho. When a partner identifies a qualified sales opportunity, they hand off the lead to Aloware’s sales team for follow-up, demos, and closing. Partners are generously compensated with a percentage of the resulting recurring revenue as long as the account remains with Aloware.

Appendix A – Referral Terms
If Partner is implementing a CRM and is recommending Aloware as a phone solution along with the CRM, a warm email introduction works best to streamline the deal process.
Otherwise, Partner will use PartnerStack to refer leads either via form submission or individual affiliate links provided via Partnerstack.
While Partners are more than welcome to attend demo sessions and follow up with their respective leads, they are not required to do so. Aloware Sales Team will handle all leads post-submission to a successful close.
Partner will only refer qualified leads with a genuine interest in purchasing Aloware’s products and services. Aloware is a sophisticated contact center software geared towards SMB’s and the perfect market is 5 to 100 agents (roughly 10 to 250 employees total).
Appendix B – Commission Calculation
Partners are paid a monthly recurring commission, as a percentage of Aloware’s monthly recurring subscription revenue, for their referred accounts. The fee payments are valid as long as the account stays with Aloware.
- Subscription only. The commission is only payable on subscription fees paid by Clients to Aloware. Any peripheral usage fees, including phone number rental fees, local presence, toll-free minutes usage, compliance fees, and automated SMS is excluded and NOT considered recurring revenue.
