The Legal Risk Score of a Referral Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document allows the Business to unilaterally change the terms of the referral fee with minimal notice, which could potentially impact the financial expectations of the Referrer.
- The agreement does not obligate the Business to accept any referred users, which may result in unpredictability in potential earnings for the Referrer.
- The Referrer is restricted from using various common online promotional methods, which could limit their ability to effectively market and earn referral fees.
