The Marketing Materials may be used by the Partner to promote Tidio LLC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Offer.

The specific amount and conditions of such flat-fee compensation shall be governed exclusively by the terms of the relevant Offer issued by Tidio LLC.

- Partner Commissions for each Qualified Action shall be payable by PartnerStack software for a period stated in the Offer, provided that the Customer has paid Tidio LLC for such services.

- Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to Tidio LLC, and therefore, Partner agrees that Tidio LLC shall only be liable to Partner for Commissions to the extent that Tidio LLC has received such funds from the Clients. Payment of flat-fee is subject to the Partner’s full compliance with all terms and conditions specified in the applicable Offer and the Agreement and acceptance by Tidio LLC of the marketing/promotion/content creation activity.
