MentionX Partner program

Partner terms

Written to be read, not skipped. Last updated 6 November 2026. These terms apply to everyone in the MentionX Partner program and sit alongside the MentionX Terms of Service.

1. Who can join

Anyone who advises brands on marketing, SEO, content or growth, or whose audience is marketers: consultants, fractional CMOs, agencies, freelancers, writers, course creators. You must be at least 18 and able to invoice or receive payments in your own name or your company’s. MentionX approves every application by hand within 48 hours and may decline without giving a reason. The first 50 approved partners are founding partners (section 8).

2. What counts as an introduction

An introduction is how most partners earn. It means a warm hand-over to a brand that takes the call, not a list of names.

One emailYou email partners@mentionx.ai with the brand, a real person there (name, role, email) who expects to hear from MentionX, and why now; or you send an intro email with partners@mentionx.ai in copy. If the contact never takes the call, nothing is attributed.
Not already in contactThe brand has no MentionX account, no booked call and is not in our outbound or another partner’s list. First touch wins. We tell you at once if a brand is not eligible.
Ninety daysAn introduction expires after 90 days without a paid plan; the brand then returns to the open pool.
Not your own companyYour employer, your own business, or a company you hold shares in does not count.
We do the restThe audit, the demo, the close, onboarding and support are on us. If you prefer to present the findings yourself, say so.

3. Attribution

IntroductionsLocked to you for as long as the brand is a customer.
Links and codes90 days from the first click on your link or the first use of your code. If two partners reach the same brand, the last click before signup wins; an introduction beats a link.
Per workspaceAttribution belongs to the brand’s MentionX workspace. A second workspace created by the same company is attributed on its own, with its own 12 months, if it came through you.
Existing customersA brand that already pays MentionX cannot be attributed later.

4. What you earn

30% of everything the brand pays MentionX in its first 12 months, counted from its first paid invoice. One rule, applied to every payment:

PlansStarter, Spark, Nova and Galaxy, monthly or annual. For example $74.70 a month on Nova.
UpgradesCount from the invoice they appear on, including the pro-rated part. The 12 months do not restart.
Downgrades30% of the lower price from the next invoice.
Engine add-ons and extra promptsEvery engine add-on (Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, Claude, Grok, Meta AI) and every extra-prompt pack.
Credit packsOne-time credit top-ups bought inside the 12 months.
Custom and agency deals30% of what is invoiced, with no cap.
Discounts30% of the amount actually paid (Mention Lift, coupons, promotions), not of the list price.
CancellationStops with the last paid invoice. The 12 months do not pause or extend.
Coming backIf the brand cancels and returns, you earn again only inside the original 12-month window.
What is deductedOnly tax (VAT or sales tax collected on the invoice) and refunds. MentionX absorbs payment-processing fees.
What is not paidFree plans and free scans, anything from month 13 onward, failed or uncollected payments, and your own company.
CurrencyCommission is calculated in USD on the USD amount Stripe collected.

5. Payouts

WhenOn the 15th of each month, for everything that cleared in the previous month.
HoldA payment clears 30 days after the brand paid it (the refund window). Annual invoices clear the same way and are paid out in three equal monthly parts.
Minimum$50. Smaller balances roll over to the next month.
HowBank transfer (SEPA or international), in USD or EUR. Fees charged by your bank on receipt are yours.
Refunds and chargebacksReverse the share on that amount. If it was already paid out, it is deducted from your next payout. A negative balance carries forward; it is never invoiced to you.
StatementsYou get a statement on the 1st of each month listing every brand, invoice and share, and a payout note on the 15th.
Tax and invoicingAmounts are stated before any tax you may owe. You are responsible for declaring your income and, where the law requires, for issuing an invoice; a self-billing statement is available on request.
ErrorsIf a payout is wrong, tell us within 60 days of the statement and we correct it in the next run.

6. Not allowed

Self-referralReferring your own company, your employer, or a company you hold shares in.
Brand biddingPaid ads on “MentionX”, its misspellings, or our domain, on any ad platform.
Coupon and deal sitesPosting your code or link on discount, cashback or coupon sites.
SpamUnsolicited bulk email or messages carrying your link, or anything that breaks the law where you send it.
Misleading claimsPromising results, prices, features or engines MentionX does not offer. Use our material or ask us.
Pretending to be MentionXUsing MentionX branding as your own identity, lookalike pages, or domains containing “mentionx”.
Incentivised signupsPaying or rewarding a brand to sign up through your link.

A breach forfeits unpaid commission and ends the partnership.

7. Your partner account

Partners get a MentionX account on their own brand at no cost (Starter; Spark for founding partners). It is for your own brand only, not for resale or for running a client’s brand, and it ends with the partnership. Partner material (videos, decks, posts, logos) may be used only to present MentionX truthfully.

8. Founding partners

The first 50 approved partners keep, for as long as they are in the program: Spark ($149 a month) free on their own brand, a listing on mentionx.ai from their first paying brand, free first scans on prospects, and a direct line to the founder. Seats close at 50 approvals. A founding partner who leaves the program or breaches section 6 loses the perks; the seat is not reassigned.

9. Changes and ending

ChangesMentionX may change rates, caps or rules with 30 days’ notice by email. Brands already attributed to you keep the terms they were attributed under for their remaining months.
Earned is paidCommission earned before a change or an ending is always paid, except after a breach of section 6.
LeavingEither side can end the partnership at any time by email. Your attributed brands keep paying out for the rest of their 12 months.
Inactive accountsIf you have no attributed brand and no login for 12 months, the partner account may be closed; any balance is still paid.
RelationshipYou are an independent partner, not an employee, agent or reseller of MentionX, and you cannot make commitments on our behalf.
DataContacts you introduce are handled under the MentionX privacy policy. Only share a person’s details if you are allowed to.
LawGerman law. Place of jurisdiction is Berlin. Operator details are in the Impressum.
