To assist you, marketing materials such as banners, brochures, posters, digital assets and guidebooks will be provided through your dashboard or E-mail or WhatsApp or any other medium deemed appropriate by the Company.

Referrers must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding agreements or must have taken consent from their parents or guardians to take part in the Elite Partner Program.
Referral Ownership and Qualification

The ownership and validity of a Referral shall be subject to the following conditions and timeframes, and failure to comply with any of the below stages shall result in the forfeiture of ownership by the Referrer:
From the date of initiating the application form and/or submitting the Campus Visit Scheduling Form, the Referral shall have a maximum period of thirty (30) days to complete the campus visit. Following the completion of the campus visit, the Referral shall have a period of ten (10) days to complete the payment of the admission fee.

Any failure to meet the prescribed requirements shall result in the automatic loss of Referral ownership, and the Referrer shall no longer be eligible for any associated Rewards.
Notwithstanding Clause D, if a Referral does not adhere to the stipulated criteria but has not been acquired through any other channel or by another Referrer, the Company may, at its sole discretion, allow the Referrer to retain ownership. In such cases, provided the Referral successfully completes enrollment, the Referrer shall remain eligible for the corresponding Reward.
If a Referral visits an NIAT campus prior to registering through the Referrer’s unique Invitation Link or Invitation Code, the Referrer shall have no claim to the Referral and shall not be entitled to any Rewards in respect of such Referral’s enrollment. However, if the Referral enrolls through the Referrer’s link after a period of 30 days from the date of the campus visit, this restriction shall no longer apply.

Only digital form submissions completed through the Referrer’s unique Invitation Link shall be deemed valid for Referral ownership and Reward eligibility. Any Referral communicated through verbal confirmation, WhatsApp, email, or any other unofficial means shall not be recognized for the purposes of Referral ownership.
Mere registration for a Webinar, filling of the Application Form, or Campus Visit Form shall not, in itself, qualify a Referral for ownership or Reward entitlement. The Webinar shall be treated solely as an educational and nurturing resource for prospective students and parents and shall not establish Referral ownership in favor of a Referrer.

These Terms and Conditions do not create an exclusive agreement between the Referrer and the Company. The Company retains the right to engage other Referrers to promote, sell, and support their products and services.
