Do referral rewards apply to repeat deals from the same company?

Do rewards apply when the same company licenses more than once?

Within limits, yes. Rewards accrue as 25% of the eligible platform fees SourceX actually collects from the referred company's licensing deals, up to a cumulative $100,000 per referred company. So if a referred company has more than one eligible deal, each can count toward the reward, until the per-company cap is reached. The cap applies to the company, not to each deal.

Two points keep expectations honest. A reward is payable only after the buyer pays and SourceX receives its fee, and no reward is guaranteed. And which transactions count as covered is defined in the signed partner agreement and the published program terms, not in this article.

How does a cumulative per-company cap work?

Think of the cap as a ceiling on one running total for each company you referred. Every eligible fee SourceX collects from that company adds to the total at your reward rate, until the ceiling is reached. After that, further fees from the same company add nothing for you.

No dollar example is given here because the amounts depend on deals that have not happened.

Why do programs cap rewards per company?

Caps limit how much one relationship can cost a program, and they keep the economics predictable for both sides. For partners, a cap also means that referring many different companies matters more than waiting on one. Unlike a recurring subscription commission, a data license is typically a one-time payment for an agreed dataset snapshot, so repeat deals are not something to plan on. Do not assume companies license again; some may, but the program does not promise it.

What counts as repeat business?

Several situations look like repeat business, and the answer can differ between them. Always check the terms, but here is how to think about each.

Who gets credit if two partners introduce the same company?

Credit goes to the first valid referrer whose introduction leads to a verified company application within the attribution window. Later introductions of the same company do not replace that credit. For this reason, a dated record of your introduction is worth keeping; see how to prove a referral.

What should you tell the company about repeat deals?

Be careful not to promise anything about future deals or your reward. If the contact asks, the guide to discussing referral rewards transparently offers phrasing. In short: you may receive a share of SourceX's fee; it is not taken from the company's price; and the company's agreements are its own. If your role bars compensation, read making an introduction when you can't accept a fee.

How should firms think about the structure?

A firm weighing different reward designs, such as flat fees versus percentages, can compare them in B2B referral fee structures, and set internal rules using a referral fee policy for your advisory firm. These pages describe general options, not SourceX terms.

What is not covered by this page?

This page does not state the attribution window length, minimums, bonuses or tiers, because those are set by the signed agreement and published terms. It also gives no tax guidance; ask your own adviser. For the general process, see how it works.
