Affiliate terms
Version 2026-11-04 · Updated November 4, 2026
These terms apply when you refer a company to Six Eight Labs LLC (“6/8 Labs”, “we”) through sixeightlabs.com/refer. You accept them by ticking the box and registering a referral. Brokers who also help close deals can apply for our 50/50 partner terms, which are signed separately.
Referring a company
1.1 How. Register the company at sixeightlabs.com/refer and send the owner your tracked link, or email the owner or a decision maker with m@sixeightapp.com in copy.
1.2 Who qualifies. The company needs at least 25 employees; for a US company that means W-2 employees, and contractors don’t count. We may decline any referral.
1.3 Permission. You must know the person you introduce and have a fair reason to contact them. No bulk or unsolicited messaging, and you must follow anti-spam and privacy laws.
1.4 First to register. The first broker to register a company’s website is credited with it. A company we were already talking to in the previous 6 months, or that another broker has protected, can’t be credited to you.
Protection
2.1 Your referral is protected for 13 months from the day you register it. If the company starts our data check or signs an NDA with us in that time, you are credited for every deal for its data signed within 3 years of the first deal, as long as that first deal is signed within 24 months of your registration.
2.2 While your protection lasts, you won’t offer the same company or its data to another broker, marketplace or buyer. You can give up your protection on a company by email at any time.
What you earn
3.1 Rate. On deals we run, 8.5% of what the buyer pays, or 12% of what the company is paid, whichever is higher. Commission is paid again on each further licence of the same company’s data in the period in clause 2.1.
3.2 Cap. Up to US$100,000 of commission per company, across all of its deals. More only if we agree in writing.
3.3 Fee-only deals. If a buyer pays the company directly and we earn only a fee for arranging it, you earn 50% of that fee, within the same cap.
3.4 Buyer partners. If we place the company with one of our buyer partners instead of running the deal ourselves, you earn 50% of the fees that partner pays us, within the same cap. We tell you which route applies when we accept the referral.
3.5 On top. Commission comes out of our side of the deal. It never reduces what the company is paid.
3.6 Limit. On any deal, commission and recruiter bonuses together never exceed what we keep from it after paying the company and third-party fees.
Recruiter bonus
4.1 If a broker who is new to 6/8 Labs names you in the “Recruited by” field when they register their first referral, you earn 20% of every commission we pay them, on top of theirs. One level only, and you can’t recruit yourself, your own staff or a business you control.
Payment
5.1 We pay within 30 days of receiving each payment for the deal, in US dollars by bank transfer. No closed and paid deal, no commission.
5.2 Before the first payment you give us a W-9 or W-8BEN and your bank details. We may hold payment until we have them and withhold any tax the law requires. You handle your own taxes.
5.3 If we refund a buyer, you repay the commission and any recruiter bonus on the refunded amount, or we deduct it from later payments, unless the refund was our fault.
How you represent us
6.1 You are an independent referrer, not our employee, agent or partner in the legal sense, and you can’t make promises or sign anything for us.
6.2 Don’t tell a company what its data is worth or what it will be paid beyond material we give you in writing. Our instant estimate is an estimate, not an offer.
6.3 If you advise the company you refer (for example as its accountant, lawyer, broker or consultant), tell it in writing that we pay you a referral commission.
6.4 Follow all laws that apply to you, including anti-bribery laws. Never offer anything of value to anyone at a company or a buyer to influence a deal.
Confidentiality and no going around us
7.1 Keep confidential anything non-public we tell you, including deal terms, prices and the identities of buyers and buyer partners.
7.2 For as long as you refer with us and 24 months after, don’t use what you learn from us to deal directly with a buyer or buyer partner over a company you referred or its data. If you do, you lose any unpaid commission on that company.
General
8.1 Liability. Neither of us is liable for lost profit or indirect loss. Apart from fraud, wilful misconduct, a breach of clause 7, and our duty to pay commission you have earned, each side’s liability is capped at the commission paid to you in the previous 12 months.
8.2 Changes. We may update these terms by posting a new version and emailing you 30 days ahead. Referrals already registered keep the version in force when you registered them.
8.3 Ending. Either of us can stop at any time by email. Referrals we accepted before then keep earning under these terms, unless you broke clause 6 or 7.
8.4 Law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction. They are the whole agreement for referrals under them, and your electronic acceptance binds you as a signature would.
