Section 1

What partner status is

Registered Partner status describes a distribution relationship. An approved partner may introduce entrepreneurs to the International Entrepreneur Registry and receives a partner code providing a discount on registration for anyone they introduce.

Partner status confers no authority over verification, recognition or registry decisions of any kind.

Section 2

Cost

• Applying for partnership is free.
• Holding partner status is free. There is no joining fee, annual fee or renewal fee.
• There is no minimum number of registrations required to retain status.
• Business Magnates will not invoice a partner organisation for partner status at any time.

Section 3

Eligibility

Applications are assessed against four requirements:

• A live, reachable website describing the organisation's activities.
• A business registration number or registration certificate.
• A named contact person with a role at the organisation and an email address on the organisation's own domain.
• Demonstrable work with entrepreneurs, business owners or founders.

Business Magnates responds to every application within five business days, whether approved or declined. Declined applicants may reapply once their circumstances change.

Section 4

Use of the Registered Partner mark

Approved partners receive mark files and approved wording. Use of the mark is permitted only as set out below.

Rights end when partnership ends. If partner status is withdrawn or the partner withdraws, all rights to use the mark end immediately and the mark must be removed from all materials and properties within 14 days.

Section 5

Verification remains independent

Verification is carried out solely by the Business Magnates review team against published criteria. Partners take no part in review and cannot influence any outcome.

Every application is assessed on the same basis regardless of who introduced it. Applications that do not meet the criteria are declined, and the amount paid to Business Magnates is refunded in full.

Section 6

Partner codes and pricing

• Each approved partner receives one code providing 20% off every registration package.
• The code does not expire and carries no volume requirement.
• The code identifies the introducing partner and must not be published on public coupon or discount-aggregation websites.
• Partners may pass the discount to members, manage registration on a client's behalf at their own service rate, or sponsor the discounted fee themselves.

Section 7

Refunds and amounts charged by the partner

Where an application is declined, the amount paid to Business Magnates is refunded in full to the original payment method.

Section 8

Partner record and directory

Approved partners are issued a Partner ID and a public record showing organisation name, category, country, the date partnership began and current status. Partners may also be listed in the public partner directory.

Business Magnates makes no commitment to publish any announcement, article or press release about a partner or the partnership.

Section 9

Withdrawal of partner status

Business Magnates may withdraw partner status where an organisation:

• Misrepresents its relationship with Business Magnates or the registry.
• Breaches the mark usage terms in Section 4.
• Claims or implies it can approve or guarantee verification.
• Makes promises to members beyond the published deliverables.
• Provided false information in its application.
• Ceases to meet the eligibility requirements in Section 3.

Where status is withdrawn, the partner code is deactivated, the public record is updated, and mark usage rights end immediately. Either party may end the partnership at any time with written notice, at no cost.

Section 10

Changes to these terms

Business Magnates may update these terms. Material changes will be notified to the registered contact email of every active partner. Continued use of a partner code after notification constitutes acceptance.
