Variable Remuneration Policy
Last updated: September 2026 · Applies to the optional ZetaGrow Referral Program
1. Purpose
This policy explains how ZetaGrow may pay variable remuneration (referred to as “remuneration” or “partner reward”) to eligible users who voluntarily share our courses. It exists so that every participant — and any observer — can see exactly when, why and how much is paid. ZetaGrow is an education platform: remuneration is a marketing cost we choose to share for real sales of real courses, nothing more.
2. Core Principles
- Product-only basis — remuneration exists only after a completed, paid course purchase by another person. No payment is made for sign-ups, clicks, traffic or recruitment.
- Single level only — remuneration is paid only on purchases made by learners you personally referred. There are no tiers, teams, group structures, chain commissions, multi-level earnings, team overrides, or any form of override structure of any kind.
- No chain or team earnings — ZetaGrow does not operate any chain commission, multi-level, or group earning structure. The Partner Program is a single-level referral reward for genuine course purchases — nothing more.
- Genuine consumption required — every sale must pass a consumption check before the associated remuneration becomes active (see Section 4).
- No guarantees — participation does not guarantee any referral activity, income or outcome. Remuneration is variable and depends entirely on third-party purchase decisions.
- No salary, stipend, or internship — no ZetaGrow employee, representative, or partner is authorized to guarantee you a fixed salary, stipend, internship, job placement, or any specific income. Any such promise is unauthorized and does not bind ZetaGrow.
3. Qualifying Sale
A “Qualifying Sale” means: (a) a person who did not previously hold a ZetaGrow account completes payment for a published course plan through your partner link; (b) the purchase is not self-referred or connected to you (same person, household, device cluster or payment instrument); and (c) the buyer demonstrates genuine course usage by completing at least one lesson inside their dashboard.
4. Consumption Verification
For every referred purchase, the platform records whether the buyer has begun actually using the course. The remuneration is flagged as awaiting consumption until this first verified usage event occurs. Only then does it enter the standard approval workflow. This protects the integrity of the program: rewards follow delivered education, not transactions alone. Usage records (lesson completion timestamps) form part of ZetaGrow’s audit trail.
5. Calculation & Limits
- Remuneration percentage and calculation method are configured by ZetaGrow administration and shown in your partner dashboard.
- Where enabled, a per-sale cap may limit the maximum remuneration payable on any single sale; current values are visible in admin-configured settings.
6. Holding Period & Payouts
- Activated remuneration enters a 30-day holding period from the sale date to cover chargebacks and payment disputes.
- After the holding period and administrative approval, remuneration moves to your wallet and becomes withdrawable per the platform’s withdrawal rules (minimum thresholds, KYC via PAN and bank verification).
- TDS is deducted as applicable under the Income Tax Act, 1961; Form 16A is issued quarterly. Each participant is responsible for their own tax filings.
7. Prohibited Conduct
- Self-referrals, purchases through your own accounts, or coordinated circular purchasing.
- Promising income, returns, employment or any financial outcome to induce participation.
- Describing the partner program as an investment, ROI scheme, business opportunity or membership in a network.
- Spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, impersonation or fabricated claims about ZetaGrow.
8. Reversals & Adjustments
If a referred purchase is cancelled, disputed or determined fraudulent, the associated remuneration — at any stage (awaiting, held, approved or paid) — may be reversed or clawed back, including by adjustment against future remuneration. ZetaGrow may update remuneration rates or this policy prospectively; material changes will be communicated where practical.
9. Relationship to ZetaGrow
Participants in the partner program act as independent promoters of our courses. Nothing in this policy creates employment, agency, partnership or joint venture. Participation is optional and separate from learning; you may use all purchased courses fully without ever referring anyone.
10. Reverse Action for False or Frivolous Claims
ZetaGrow reserves the right to initiate counter-legal proceedings against any individual or entity who files frivolous, malicious, or bad-faith complaints, lawsuits, or regulatory actions against ZetaGrow based on: (i) unauthorized promises made by third parties not employed by ZetaGrow; (ii) misrepresentation of this policy or the Partner Program; (iii) claims contradicted by the express terms of this policy which the user acknowledged and agreed to. In such cases, ZetaGrow will seek full recovery of all legal costs, damages, lost business, and reputational harm.
