SourceX referral rewards and payout conditions
You earn 25% of the platform fees SourceX actually earns and collects from eligible data licensing transactions with the company you referred, capped at $100,000 per referred company. Rewards become payable only after SourceX receives the corresponding fees.
How the reward is calculated
The reward base is SourceX's eligible collected platform fee, meaning the portion SourceX itself earns. It is not the full transaction value or the data owner's payout.
The base excludes:
- supplier payments to the data owner
- taxes
- pass-through reimbursements
- refunds and chargebacks
Each agreement's actual recorded SourceX fee is used. SourceX does not assume a fixed fee percentage.
Worked example (illustrative)
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Licensing transaction total | $500,000 |
| SourceX fee in this example (30%) | $150,000 |
| Your reward (25% of the fee) | $37,500 |
The example only shows the arithmetic. It is not a quote, a data valuation or a guaranteed reward. Try your own numbers in the earnings calculator.
The cap
Total rewards are capped at $100,000 per referred company, across all installments and transactions with that company.
Reward statuses
- Estimated: an indication while the opportunity progresses.
- Eligible: SourceX has received a qualifying fee.
