Colabz Creator Referral Programme Terms
Last updated: 3 August 2026
These Creator Referral Programme Terms ("Programme Terms") govern your participation in the Colabz Creator Referral Programme (the "Programme"). They sit alongside our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. By participating in the Programme, you agree to these Programme Terms. If you do not agree, do not participate.
The Programme only applies to brand spend on New Zealand creators and the New Zealand market. Referral rewards are calculated solely from eligible marketplace commission generated by that spend.
1) Eligibility
The Programme rewards eligible creators for introducing new brands to Colabz.
To qualify, a creator must invite a brand to Colabz using the official Colabz referral or project invitation flow.
2) Eligible Brands
A referral is only eligible if:
- The brand creates a new Colabz brand account using the creator's referral or invitation.
- The brand was not already registered with Colabz at the time the invitation was accepted.
- The brand is approved by Colabz as a legitimate business.
- The referral complies with these Programme Terms.
Brands that already have an existing Colabz account are not eligible for referral rewards.
3) Referral Attribution
- Each eligible brand may only be attributed to one creator.
- Referral attribution is generally assigned to the first valid referral accepted by the brand, unless otherwise determined by Colabz.
- Once a brand has been attributed to a creator, no subsequent creator may claim referral rewards for that same brand.
4) Referral Reward
For each eligible referred brand, the referring creator will receive:
- 20% of Colabz's marketplace commission revenue generated by that brand's spend on New Zealand creators and the New Zealand market;
- for a period of 6 months from the referral commencement date; and
- subject to a maximum referral payout of NZ$1,000 per referred brand.
Referral rewards are calculated from Colabz's marketplace commission on eligible New Zealand market spend only and are not based on the brand's total spend.
5) Referral Period
The referral earning period begins on the brand's first eligible marketplace transaction and ends 6 months later.
Only eligible marketplace transactions completed during this period will generate referral rewards.
6) Unlimited Referrals
Creators may refer an unlimited number of eligible brands.
Each eligible brand may generate referral rewards independently, provided the brand satisfies these Programme Terms.
7) Ineligible Transactions
Referral rewards will not be paid for:
- Brands already registered with Colabz.
- Self-referrals.
- Test or internal accounts.
- Fraudulent, duplicate or abusive referrals.
- Refunded or reversed marketplace transactions.
- Transactions that do not generate marketplace commission for Colabz.
- Brand spend outside New Zealand creators and the New Zealand market.
- Any transactions otherwise determined by Colabz to be ineligible.
8) Payment of Referral Rewards
- Referral rewards will be calculated after eligible marketplace transactions are completed.
- Colabz may delay payment to allow for refunds, disputes or chargebacks.
- Referral rewards may be paid monthly or on another schedule determined by Colabz.
9) Fraud and Abuse
Colabz reserves the right to reject, suspend or reverse referral rewards where it reasonably believes:
- fraudulent activity has occurred;
- referral attribution has been manipulated;
- multiple accounts have been created to obtain rewards; or
- these Programme Terms have otherwise been breached.
Colabz's decision regarding referral eligibility and payout is final.
10) Changes to the Programme
Colabz may modify, suspend or terminate the Programme at any time.
Changes will not affect referral rewards that have already been earned prior to the effective date of the change, unless required to address fraud, abuse or legal compliance.
