Referrals

Any verified user can join through Settings → Referrals, including Free users. Read and accept the current programme terms, then share your public link or code. Participation does not grant access to a customer's projects, invoices or account.

Customer eligibility

The introductory benefit applies only to an eligible new Business base subscription. Solo, Team, capacity, tax and promotion stacking are excluded. A no-card trial can convert to eligible Business; a previous paid Solo or Team customer is not new on upgrade. Self-referral and reuse through another workspace or recreated account are rejected.

A link can establish attribution at signup. The account Owner can apply or correct a code explicitly before checkout is reserved. The first reserved checkout freezes attribution and its exact offer. An interrupted or uncertain request is reconciled rather than replaced by another payment.

The customer receives 10% off the first eligible Business base invoice. Trial and zero invoices do not consume the benefit. Retrying a failed eligible invoice keeps that invoice's discount; it does not grant another discounted invoice. A late or unverifiable provider state is held for reconciliation rather than automatically creating a charge, credit, refund or replacement benefit.

Customer refunds

Business base subscription payments for subscriptions purchased using a referral code or link are not eligible for discretionary or goodwill refunds unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. Mandatory legal rights, including any applicable withdrawal right and remedies for a service not supplied as contracted, are unaffected. Refunds reflect the amount actually paid after discounts, subject to applicable law; partner commission is adjusted separately and is not deducted from a refund required by law. See the refund terms.

Earnings and payouts

Partners earn 50% of eligible collected Business base cash for the first twelve calendar months of paid base service. Annual/prorated service is allocated inside that original window. Tax, capacity, uncollected amounts and later service are excluded. Downgrading stops earnings on lower-tier service; returning to Business does not restart the window.

Balances distinguish pending, available, claimed and paid amounts. Earnings become available no earlier than thirty days after collection and provider funds availability, and remain held during disputes or unresolved reconciliation. Refunds and adjustments can reduce earnings, including negative offsets after a payout. Payouts are reviewed and processed manually by the DebugBundle operator; uncertain payments remain claimed. No automatic transfer is made.

Only your minimal client status and own financial history are visible. The browser-Owner account export includes your personal referral records and the selected account's public attribution status. Required protected financial identity and obligations survive account deletion.

Joining accepts the versioned terms. Applying or correcting customer attribution requires the current verified account Owner. Operator payout actions have a separate DebugBundle operator boundary; ordinary customer ownership is insufficient. Exact API/CLI/MCP operations are in the generated references.
