Here in Kenzap, we have an Affiliate Marketing Program for people that are interested in earning rewards through being our ambassador and promoting our brands (“Affiliates”). The Affiliates’ job is to provide additional marketing and branding assistance to Kenzap, in return, we will be rewarding them for their efforts. More information on the Affiliate Marketing program and in respective mechanics can be found here.

As the Affiliates are promoting Our Brands and Services on their own platforms, do note that Kenzap will not be liable for any misinformation or misrepresentation of Our Service on these platforms and it is the Customer’s responsibility to check and confirm if the services and promotions stated on those Affiliate’s platforms are in line with our services and its terms and conditions.

6.1. Breakdown of Commissions:

As the Affiliates can either be referring a Customer or a Subcontractor account, please refer to the the following breakdown of commissions:

  • If an Affiliate refers a Customer Account

The referee will get to enjoy a 10% discount on their first purchase from an existing Subcontractor on Kenzap Market. This 10% discount will be charged to the Subcontractor. After the discount, there will be another 10% of the discounted amount charged to the Subcontractor as the Affiliate Referral Reward. Please refer to the example below:

John is an Affiliate, through his own resources, he successfully refers his contact, James, to Kenzap. James makes his first purchase of a videography service from an existing Subcontractor on Kenzap for $500. Using the promo code given by John, James receives a 10% discount for his first purchase. Hence James only paid $450 for the service.

After bearing the 10% discount of the original price of $500, the Subcontractor receives the remaining $450 as revenue. Afterwhich, the Subcontractor will be charged a 5% commission of $450 for the Kenzap Market Fee and a 10% commission of $450 for the Affiliate’s referral reward. This leaves the Subcontractor with a net revenue of $382.50.

Here’s the breakdown of the $500:
10% discount to the customer: $50

5% Kenzap Market Fee (5% of the discounted price): $22.5

10% Affiliate Referral Reward (10% of the discounted price): $45

Subcontractor’s Net Revenue: $382.50

  • If an Affiliate refers a Subcontractor Account

The referee will be charged an additional 10% of commission on their first sale to the Affiliate for the Affiliate Referral Reward. Subsequently, the commission will be back to the normal Kenzap Market rates for Subcontractors. The sale can be made by any existing Customers on Kenzap. Please refer to the example below:

John is an Affiliate, through his own resources, he also successfully refers his contact, Jamie, to Kenzap. Jamie is a freelance copywriter, and signs up for a Subcontractor account on Kenzap. 

She experiences her first sale from an existing Customer that needed her copywriting skills. She charges $100 for the particular service that the Customer is looking for. As this is her first sale on Kenzap, Jamie is charged a 5% Kenzap Market Fee and a 10% Affiliate Referral Reward for this transaction.

So with an initial $100 of revenue paid by the Customer, after paying the Kenzap Market Fee and the Affiliate Referral Reward, this leaves Jamie with a net revenue of $85.

Here’s the breakdown of the $100:
5% Kenzap Market Fee: $5

10% Affiliate Referral Reward: $10

Subcontractor’s Net Revenue: $85

Upon signing up for the Affiliate Marketing Program, We will provide the Affiliates a designated promo code or a referral link to promote Our Services. If a newly referred Customer by an Affiliate plans to purchase a service from another newly referred Subcontractor on Kenzap, the same terms and conditions will apply.

6.2. Subcontractors

As an existing Subcontractor on Kenzap, you will be compulsorily participating in the Affiliate Marketing Program as a Subcontractor. Hence, if you’re an existing Subcontractor and a Customer that is referred to Kenzap through an Affiliate makes its first purchase of your service, you acknowledge that you are a participating Subcontractor.

6.3. Kenzap Cloud

For our Kenzap Cloud services, the Affiliates acknowledge that they will receive a 30% Referral Reward for every successful first purchase made by their referees. Please refer to the example below:

Kenny is an Affiliate of Kenzap, through his resources, he managed to refer his contact, Mary, to Kenzap. Mary makes her first purchase of a Kenzap Cloud product for $200. Mary pays $200 to Kenzap and Kenny is entitled to a 30% Affiliate Referral Reward for this transaction.

Here’s the breakdown of $200:

What Mary pays: $200

30% Affiliate Referral Reward: $60

Kenzap Net Revenue: $140

For example, if your Indonesian account balance is USD1000, and based on MAS’ exchange rates between USD:IDR is 1:14570, your account balance will be reflected as IDR14570 as well. After that, you will then be charged an amount of IDR146 (1% withdrawal fee), leaving the net withdrawal balance of IDR14424.
