Partner program terms
Usage-based accruals, two levels, the hold period, void and clawback rights.
1. Eligibility
The program is free and open to every registered Kumo user. Participation requires no purchase, fee, or commitment of any kind. Your partner link is created automatically at registration.
2. Accruals — from usage only
Rewards are 5% of your invitees' actual paid API usage (level 1) and 2% of their invitees' usage (level 2). They keep accruing for as long as the invitee uses the platform: the program has no attribution window and no cut-off date. Rewards are never granted for sign-ups or balance top-ups as such — only for actually consumed requests. Limits apply: a monthly cap of 125,000,000 tokens of usage per invitee and the exclusion of minimal-margin routes.
3. Invitee welcome bonus
A user who signs up through a partner link receives a 12,500,000-token welcome bonus in internal Kumo credits. The bonus is granted once two conditions are met: a balance top-up and the first 7,500,000 tokens of actual API usage. Bonus credits are not money and spend under the rules of Section 5.
4. Exactly two levels
Program depth is hard-capped at two levels and will not be extended. Kumo pays nothing for recruitment as such: every accrual is sourced from end users’ consumption of the service.
5. Credits and accrual review
Accruals are made in internal Kumo credits and become available after a review on Kumo’s side. That review has no fixed term: an accrual is credited to the balance once it is approved. Credits pay for any model on the platform. Credits are not money; a cash-out exchange will arrive later under its own terms.
6. Self-referral and abuse ban
Prohibited: referring your own additional accounts in any form, circular referral rings, mass account registration, and payment-refund abuse. Kumo may void accruals obtained in breach of the rules (including already-credited ones, via a compensating entry), pause accruals pending review, and remove a participant from the program.
7. Program changes
Kumo may change program rates, limits, thresholds, and terms, or suspend the program. Changes take effect on publication and apply to future accruals; already-made accruals are never revised retroactively.
