Whether you recommend, implement or operate – choose the model that fits your business. The commission per plan is the same for every type. ### Referral partner For consultants, advisors and networks. You introduce the client – we run the demo, the contract and the onboarding.

You earn commission on the licences and bill your own services. ### Implementation partner For system integrators, MSPs and IT service providers.

From month 4 you receive a share of the monthly licence revenue: 10 % for Starter, 12 % for Business and 15 % for Enterprise. Binding terms are set out in the partner agreement. ### What does the commission apply to? To licence revenue. Onboarding, Forward Deployed Engineers, Local AI hardware and model usage are not included – and since we take no margin on tokens, your clients only pay for usage what it actually costs. ### When is the commission paid? Commission is paid once the client has paid their invoice. The payout rhythm is set out in the partner agreement. ### Who holds the contract with the client?

Other setups can be agreed with implementation partners – details in the partner agreement. ### Can I resell 48°? Reselling is possible for implementation partners on request. Talk to us about your setup. ### What are the requirements? Referral partners need a partner agreement and relevant client relationships. Solution and implementation partners also complete our training; we agree the details in the intro call. ### Does it cost anything to join? No. Joining the partner programme is free of charge. ### Can implementation partners deliver Local AI? Yes.
