Join the Kickass Online Affiliate Programme
Partner with a digital agency that delivers real results — and get rewarded every time you refer a client who signs with us.
Whether you're a marketing consultant, web designer, IT provider, business advisor, or simply well-connected, our affiliate programme offers straightforward, generous commission for quality referrals.
How It Works
Refer a business to Kickass Online. If they become a client, you earn commission — it's that simple. We handle everything else: the sales conversation, the onboarding, the delivery, and the ongoing relationship. Your job is the introduction.
Commission Structure
Project-based work (websites, one-off builds): Choose the structure that works for you at the point of referral:
- Split commission: 5% on receipt of the client's deposit, plus a further 5% on project completion — up to 10% total
- Single payment: 6.5% paid after the client's deposit is received
Retainer and ongoing services (SEO, maintenance, automation):
- 5% of the monthly retainer value, payable monthly, for the first 12 months of the client's retainer
Tiered bonus:
- Refer more than 2 new clients in a single calendar month and receive a £50 bonus for each additional referral beyond the second, payable once those clients have paid their deposit
Terms and Conditions
Eligibility: The programme is open to individuals and businesses based in the UK and internationally, subject to KO's approval. KO reserves the right to decline any application without explanation.
Referral process: Referrals must be submitted via the affiliate referral form or notified to KO in writing before KO has had any prior contact with the referred business. Retrospective referral claims will not be accepted.
Payment trigger: Commission becomes payable only once the referred client has signed a contract with KO and KO has received the relevant payment from that client (deposit for project work; first monthly payment for retainers). No commission is payable on prospects who do not proceed to a paid engagement.
Recurring commission: The 5% monthly retainer commission applies for the first 12 months of a referred client's retainer only, unless a separate written extension is agreed with KO. Commission on retainers ceases immediately if the client cancels their retainer, reduces to a level below the original referred scope, or if the affiliate agreement is terminated.
Clawback: If a referred client cancels and receives a full or partial refund within 60 days of their contract start date, any commission paid in respect of that client will be subject to clawback from the next commission payment. KO will notify the affiliate before any clawback is applied.
Payment: Commission payments are made via bank transfer or PayPal within 30 days of the end of the month in which the payment trigger is met. A minimum payment threshold of £50 applies per transaction. International bank transfers require a minimum of £100 due to transaction fees. KO does not cover PayPal or transfer fees.
Disclosure: Affiliates must disclose their commercial relationship with KO whenever promoting KO's services, in accordance with the ASA/CAP Code and UK consumer protection law. Failure to disclose a commercial relationship when promoting KO may result in termination of the affiliate agreement.
Tax and legal status: Affiliates are independent of KO and are solely responsible for declaring and paying any tax on commission received. Participation in this programme does not create an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between the affiliate and KO.
Confidentiality: Affiliates must not disclose confidential information about KO, its clients, or its pricing to third parties.
Termination: Either party may terminate the affiliate agreement with 30 days' written notice. On termination, commission already earned on payments received by KO before the termination date will be paid in the normal payment cycle. No further commission will accrue after the termination date, including recurring retainer commission.
Changes to terms: KO reserves the right to amend these terms with 30 days' written notice to active affiliates. Continued participation after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Governing law: This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.
