1. Definitions & Interpretation
2. Eligibility and Participation
To be eligible to join the Partner Program, you must agree to the Partner Program terms and conditions. In the application, you are required to provide your full name and any other requested information. Upon signing up for the Program, we will review your application. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to reject your application or re-evaluate it at any point in time.
You are permitted to create and use only one Affiliate account. You will receive a confirmation of your participation once your application is approved. Upon approval, you may have direct access to your affiliate dashboard, personal Invitation Code, and Invitation Link.
The Partner’s primary role is to act as a promoter for the Company, introducing potential Referrals to the Program. You are allowed to use your Invitation Code and Invitation Link to refer potential participants to the Program.
As a Partner in the Partner Program, you are authorized to market and promote the Program. 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.
The Partner is responsible for ensuring that all promotional information is kept up to date. For example, if there are changes in pricing, packages, or services at NxtWave, it is the Partner’s sole responsibility to update the information accordingly.
Partners must be onboarded through an authorized Company representative. Partners must complete the onboarding form and accept these Terms. Partners must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding agreements.
3. Referral Ownership and Qualification
A Referral shall be deemed valid only if the individual has registered through the Partner’s unique Invitation Link and/or Invitation Code and has followed the prescribed process set forth in these Terms and Conditions.
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 Partner:
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. These timelines may be revised from time to time at the sole discretion of the Company.
Following the Completion of the Campus Visit based on the communications extended by the Company, the referral will have to make a successful payment of the first term fee for qualifying into a successful enrollment.
A Partner shall retain ownership of a Referral only if the Referral adheres to all the aforementioned conditions within the stipulated timeframes. Any failure to meet the prescribed requirements shall result in the automatic loss of Referral ownership, and the Partner 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 Partner, the Company may, at its sole discretion, allow the Partner to retain ownership. In such cases, provided the Referral successfully completes enrollment, the Partner shall remain eligible for the corresponding Reward.
If a Referral visits an NIAT campus prior to registering through the Partner’s unique Invitation Link or Invitation Code, the Partner 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 Partner’s link after a period of 30 days from the date of the campus visit, this restriction shall no longer apply.
In instances where multiple Partners claim ownership over the same Referral, the Company shall have the exclusive authority to determine the final ownership of the Referral. The Company’s decision in this regard shall be final, binding, and not subject to dispute.
Only digital form submissions completed through the Partner’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 Partner.
4. Non-Exclusivity
These Terms and Conditions do not create an exclusive agreement between the Partner and the Company. The Company retains the right to engage other Partners to promote, sell, and support their products and services.
However, the Partner agrees not to engage directly or indirectly with any other company or entity that offers products or services similar to those of NxtWave during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement. The Partner shall not provide any services or support to any competitors of the Company that would conflict with the interests of the Company.

For clarity, the Reward shall not be granted to the Partner for enrollments made through any other Partner’s Invitation Link or Invitation Code. In case of any disputes, the decision of the Company shall be final and binding
Reward shall not be paid if the Referral claims a refund before the disbursal of the Reward. If the Referral claims a refund post the payment of the Reward, then the Reward paid to the Partner shall be recovered or deducted/adjusted in future Rewards payable to the Partner.
If the Company receives multiple refund requests from Referrals of a particular Partner and suspects misuse of the Partner Program or Program by either the Referrals or the Partner, the Company may withhold any pending payments to the Partner.

Additionally, the Company may withhold any pending payments to the Partner. Any Reward already paid to the Partner shall be recovered or deducted/adjusted from future Rewards payable to the Partner.
If the Partner does not raise the invoice within 120 days from the date of notifying the Partner about their eligibility to claim the Reward with respect to a Referral, the Partner shall forfeit the right to claim and/or receive the unclaimed Reward for that Referral.
The Reward structure and amounts mentioned above are for indicative purposes only. The Company reserves the right to modify the terms of the Reward, including its structure and amounts, at its sole discretion and on a Partner-by-Partner basis.
