A referral fee agreement is between an affiliate that “refers” sales or services to a company in exchange for compensation. The fee paid to the affiliate is commonly a percentage (%) of the total sale or a flat fee per transaction. Leads may also be included in the agreement, for example, if the affiliate refers e-mail addresses to the company they may be able to receive compensation.
A barter agreement outlines a trade of goods or services without the use of money. This type of arrangement is common between two (2) parties that are repeatedly transacting business with each other. A barter agreement can either be a fixed agreement, where both parties are required to deliver by a specific date, or an ongoing arrangement.
