Partners in tiers with resale permissions, namely Premium or specific Professional tiers, may opt between the 'Sub-Account Model'—where sub-accounts are created under your account for each customer and invoicing is based on their service usage—or the 'Partner Account Model', which operates without individual customer usage tracking.

Eligible revenue for benefit calculations shall solely encompass proceeds from IABAI's SaaS subscriptions referred by partners, contingent upon these subscriptions being retained on a paid basis for a minimum tenure of three months. This calculation expressly precludes revenues from customers who have received promotional benefits, special pricing offers, or any discounts under agreements with consortia or groups. Such exclusions ensure that partner incentives reflect genuine engagements and uphold the uniformity and validity of revenue assessments.
Partners can access various incentives and Market Development Funds based on their partnership tier, contingent upon adherence to the promotional terms and conditions set by IABAI. Such incentives are designed to bolster partner growth and engagement within the Program.
Eligibility for such benefits is determined by meeting specified performance metrics. Any misuse of these incentives may lead to their recapture or forfeiture. This serves as both a regulatory measure and a quality control mechanism for the Program.
The utilization of MDF for Government Customer Projects is strictly governed by applicable procurement regulations to ensure ethical practice and legal compliance.
Partners interested in receiving payments in the form of IAB Cryptocurrency, as opposed to traditional credits, are required to provide a Metamask wallet address for the transaction. Opting for cryptocurrency remuneration signifies acceptance of the specific terms and conditions governing this form of payment.
Any distribution of IAB Cryptocurrency remains subject to IABAI's internal compliance and regulatory standards, with no fixed guarantee of disbursement. Partners' eligibility for IAB Cryptocurrency is contingent upon their strict adherence to IABAI's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards within its Cryptocurrency Policy.
Although the cryptocurrency is available for private distribution (outside of exchange platforms), the foundational work preceding its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) has not been completed. As such, there exists no certainty and no guarantee is given regarding the completion of the ICO as of the present date.
All benefits, whether provided as MDF, credits, or IAB Cryptocurrency, must be invoiced by the partner and are subject to compliance with both local and international payment laws and regulations, with a special emphasis on European and French regulations. This ensures that payments received in all forms adhere to stringent legal requirements, mitigating potential legal and financial risks for all parties involved.
Partners must remain cognizant of their responsibility to operate within a framework that respects the full spectrum of regulatory practices, including but not limited to compliance with the European Directive 2015/849 on the prevention of money laundering or terrorist financing, the French Monetary and Financial Code, and other pertinent legal statutes.
