AFFILIATE TERMS

Version 3.0
Last Modified: 08/12/2025

These Affiliate Terms (the “Affiliate Terms”) apply to individuals and companies which we allow to sign up as an affiliate to our business (each an “Affiliate”). These Affiliate Terms are effective as of the Last Modified date above.

All references to “us” and similar words such as “we” and “our” (even if not capitalized) mean Hyre LLC, a Kansas limited liability company. All references to “you” and similar words such as “your” (even if not capitalized) mean the Affiliate.

By signing up as an affiliate of our business, you are agreeing to these Affiliate Terms and the other policies referenced in these Affiliate Terms. If you do not agree to these Affiliate Terms, then you may not become an affiliate to our business.

Relationship to Terms of Service

These Affiliate Terms and your affiliate relationship with us are subject to our Terms of Service, available at hyreup.com/terms-of-service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you should carefully review the following sections of our Terms of Service to understand your rights and obligations: Exclusions, Disclaimers, & Limitations of Liability; Indemnification; Arbitration; Legal Provisions; Miscellaneous.

Referral Process

Referral Links & Referral Fees

We will provide you with a unique referral link which you can advertise to potential clients of our services. We will pay you Commission as described in the Partner Portal (or if applicable, in the Program Policies) for each new client who completes an applicable Qualified Transaction after clicking on a Referral Link made available by you, provided that you remain eligible to receive Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

If a potential new client contacts us in a manner other than through your referral link, then we may consider that potential new client a referral from you in our sole discretion provided the new client mentions you during their initial contact with us.

If you send us contact information for a potential new client, then we may consider that potential new client a referral from you in our sole discretion. 

In all cases, a new client will not be deemed a referral from you if we had a pre-existing relationship with that new client (including us soliciting them directly).

A referral may also be credited if the prospective client’s information is directly transferred to us via phone call, email, or text message. A referral will not be deemed valid if a referred prospect introduces us to another party who becomes a client without direct referral from you.

Payments

We will pay you all undisputed and owed Referral Fees on an ongoing basis within one month of the conclusion of each Referral Term. All payments will be made in U.S. Dollars. We will pay all Referral Fees using a payment method chosen by us and we will not have any obligation to pay Referral Fees to you in a form other than as decided by us. You must provide us with all reasonable information we request to allow us to make such payments, including all tax information and forms we reasonably request.

We will maintain accurate accounts and records detailing all referrals made and payments due. All rights to these records (including database rights and copyright) remain with us.
