Partner Terms – ChatiTec Partner Programme

As of 20 Oct 2026 · Version partner-2026-10-20-4 · Sat-iTec Systemhaus GmbH, Heisinger Straße 21, 87437 Kempten, Germany (hereinafter "Sat-iTec")

§ 1 Subject matter and legal nature

1. Sat-iTec engages the partner to refer contracts for the use of the AI platform "ChatiTec" (hereinafter "subscriptions") to business customers.
2. The partner is engaged expressly as a part-time commercial agent within the meaning of § 92b HGB (German Commercial Code). The partner confirms that referring ChatiTec is not the main focus of their professional activity and will notify Sat-iTec in text form without delay if this changes; the parties will then adjust the contract by mutual agreement.
3. The partner acts as an intermediary only. The partner is not authorised to conclude contracts on behalf of Sat-iTec, to make declarations for Sat-iTec or to accept payments. The subscription contract is concluded exclusively between Sat-iTec and the customer under the ChatiTec Terms and Conditions in force at the time.
4. The partner is independent, not bound by instructions and free to organise their activity and working time. Neither party has territorial protection or exclusivity. The partner may also sell other products.
5. Each party may request that the content of this contract be set out in a document signed by the other party (§ 85 HGB).

§ 2 Participation and activation

1. Eligible are entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB (businesses) with their registered office in the European Union.
2. The contract is concluded when Sat-iTec activates the partner account. There is no entitlement to activation.
3. Sign-in to the partner portal is only possible with two-factor authentication. The partner keeps their access credentials secret and informs Sat-iTec without delay if misuse is suspected.

§ 3 Referral and customer creation

1. The partner creates customers in the partner portal or refers them via their personal referral link. The partner only enters customers who have instructed them to do so, and only accurate information.
2. The customer receives an invitation from Sat-iTec, sets their own password and pays via the regular payment method. Sat-iTec may decline a customer for an objective reason.
3. The partner makes no promises to customers that go beyond ChatiTec's published service descriptions, prices and privacy information.
4. Advertising: the partner may use the names "ChatiTec" and "Sat-iTec" for promotion while this contract is in force and provided the presentation is not misleading. Advertising by email, telephone or messenger is only permitted with the recipient's prior consent (§ 7 UWG). The partner must not give the impression of being Sat-iTec.

§ 4 Commission

1. For every paid invoice of a customer referred by them, the partner receives a commission on the net invoice amount (excluding VAT). This applies to subscriptions and to additionally purchased token packages for as long as this contract is in force.
2. The rate depends on the partner tier:

   Tier	Partner revenue (net, rolling 12 months)	Commission
   Registered	up to €5,000	15 %
   Silver	from €5,000	20 %
   Gold	from €20,000	25 %

3. The higher rate applies from the invoice following the invoice with which the threshold is exceeded. A downgrade takes place at the turn of the year at the earliest, if the rolling partner revenue falls below the threshold of the current tier.
4. The commission claim arises upon receipt of the customer's payment. There is no entitlement to an advance (§ 92b (1) sentence 3 HGB).
5. If a customer does not pay, no commission is due (§ 87a (2) HGB). If Sat-iTec refunds payments to a customer in whole or in part, the corresponding commission lapses pro rata; amounts already paid are offset against the next credit note. This does not apply insofar as the refund is due to circumstances for which Sat-iTec is responsible (§ 87a (3) HGB).
6. The commission covers all of the partner's expenses (§ 87d HGB).

§ 5 Settlement (self-billing credit notes)

1. Sat-iTec settles monthly, at the latest by the end of the following month (§ 87c (1) HGB). The parties agree that Sat-iTec settles the commission by self-billing credit note (§ 14 (2) sentence 2 UStG). The credit note is available as a PDF in the partner portal and, as soon as required by law, additionally as an electronic invoice in a structured format.
2. The credit note shows the commission plus statutory VAT. If the partner is a small business (§ 19 UStG), no VAT is shown. If the partner is established in another EU member state, Sat-iTec as recipient of the service owes the VAT (reverse charge, § 13b UStG); the credit note then shows no VAT and states the VAT ID numbers of both parties. The partner must state their VAT status (small business yes/no, VAT ID) correctly in the portal and update changes without delay. The partner is liable for disadvantages resulting from incorrect information.
3. The partner may object to a credit note (§ 14 (2) sentence 3 UStG). Objections should be raised within four weeks of the credit note being made available; the parties will then review and correct the settlement together.
4. If offsetting results in an amount of zero or less for a month, no credit note is issued; the balance is carried forward to the following month.
5. All commission-relevant invoices with month, customer, net amount, rate and status can be viewed in the partner portal (continuous statement of account). The partner's rights under § 87c HGB (statement of account, information, inspection of books) remain unaffected.

§ 6 Payment

1. Payment is made monthly on the 1st for the previous month's commissions by bank transfer to the bank account stored in the partner portal. If the 1st falls on a weekend or public holiday, the transfer is made on the next banking day.
2. The IBAN is stored encrypted and only displayed masked in the portal. Changes to the bank details apply to payments from the following month.
3. The partner is liable for the consequences of incorrect bank details.

§ 7 Data protection and confidentiality

1. Sat-iTec is an independent controller for processing customer data within the subscription. The partner is responsible for the data they transmit when creating a customer; they ensure they are permitted to transmit it and inform the contact persons concerned (Art. 13, 14 GDPR). No joint controllership or processing on behalf is established.
2. In the partner portal the partner only sees company name, customer number, plan, invoice month and invoice and commission amounts of their own customers – never any content from the use of ChatiTec. The partner uses this information only for customer support and to check their commission.
3. Sat-iTec processes the partner's data to perform this contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). Details in the privacy policy.
4. Both parties treat non-public information of the other party, in particular prices, commissions and customer data, confidentially – also after the end of the contract.

§ 8 Term and termination

1. The contract runs for an indefinite period. Either party may terminate it with one month's notice to the end of a calendar month in text form (§ 92b (1) sentence 2 HGB). The right to terminate without notice for good cause remains unaffected; good cause exists in particular in the event of a serious breach of § 3 or § 7.
2. Commission on invoices paid by the end of the contract is still settled. For subscriptions concluded before the end of the contract, the partner additionally receives commission on invoices paid in the six months after the end of the contract. Thereafter the commission claim ends. This does not apply in the event of termination without notice by Sat-iTec for good cause attributable to the partner.
3. As a part-time commercial agent, the partner has no compensation claim under § 89b HGB (§ 92b (1) sentence 1 HGB).
4. Access to the partner portal ends with the contract; on request, Sat-iTec continues to provide credit notes as PDF.

§ 9 Liability

1. The parties are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act.
2. In the case of slight negligence, the parties are only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation – one whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the other party may regularly rely – limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
3. The partner indemnifies Sat-iTec against third-party claims based on a culpable breach by the partner of § 3 or § 7.

§ 10 Changes

1. Sat-iTec may amend these terms with effect for the future if there is an objective reason (e.g. change in law, new products, changed payment methods). Changes are communicated to the partner in text form at least six weeks before they take effect.
2. The partner may object until the changes take effect or terminate the contract with effect from that date. Sat-iTec points out these consequences in the notice. A reduction of commission rates only becomes effective with the partner's consent.
3. The version accepted at registration or in the partner portal is logged with time and version identifier.

§ 11 Final provisions

1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies.
2. Place of jurisdiction is Kempten (Allgäu), Germany, insofar as the partner is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.
3. Should any provision be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains valid. The invalid provision is replaced by the statutory provision.
4. The German version of these terms is legally binding; translations are for convenience only.
