This policy supersedes any prior agreements or informal understandings regarding referral commission refunds.
Overview
QuickFile operates a referral platform connecting clients with accountants and service providers. When a client places an order through QuickFile and selects a listed accountant, QuickFile charges a referral commission to the accountant for the introduction.
This policy outlines the terms governing refunds of referral commissions paid to accountants.
Referral Commission
-
A referral commission becomes payable by the accountant to QuickFile once a client places an order via the QuickFile platform and the introduction is made.
-
Referral commissions are invoiced and collected shortly after the referral via GoCardless Direct Debit in accordance with the agreed payment schedule between QuickFile and the accountant.
Refunds of Referral Commissions
-
Non-Refundable Nature: Referral commissions are non-refundable once the client order is confirmed and the introduction completed.
-
No Impact from Client Cancellations: Subsequent cancellation of services by the client or non-payment to the accountant does not affect the referral commission owed to QuickFile.
-
Exceptions: Refunds of referral commissions may only be considered in exceptional cases, subject to QuickFile’s sole discretion and a formal review process. Exceptional cases may include duplicate referrals, or technical errors in referral processing.
-
Dispute Resolution: All refund requests must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the introduction. We aim to review and respond to all requests within 10 business days.
Payment Collection
-
Referral commissions are invoiced and collected by GoCardless Direct Debit shortly after the referral is made.
-
QuickFile does not handle client payments made directly to accountants; all client payment issues should be addressed between the accountant and their client.
