Terms of a partnership.
Published in full, before anyone writes to us
A partnership is
- 1.A member-exclusive benefit on the partner's own product: extended credits, a longer free tier, a meaningful discount — something real enough that a founder at day thirty would use it. It comes from the partner company, not from CHiiRO's pricing.
- 2.It appears where members go looking, not where they scroll past, when they are solving the problem your product addresses.
- 3.It is labelled as a partner offer, plainly. No native disguise, no "recommended by the community". The member decides.
- 4.Its terms can be seen without handing over data.
- 5.It works for a company at day thirty, not a company at Series C with a procurement department.
- 6.You tell us when it stops being available, so nobody clicks through to something expired.
- 7.No minimum term, no exclusivity, no payment from you. If it doesn't work, either side walks away.
A partnership will never be
- 8.Impressions.
- 9.Sponsored posts.
- 10.Promoted profiles.
- 11.Access to member contact details.
- 12.The ability to message members outside their connection.
- 13.A "sponsored community".
The connection gate and the labelling discipline are the product. Every revenue idea that erodes either is already refused.
That isn't a temporary position while we're small — it's the reason anyone stays.
