(a) be an owner or occupier of a business or commercial premises to which energy is sold or proposed to be sold;
(b) hold a business or commercial energy account
(c) review a premise within the following states, however not within an unsellable area or embedded network:

4. Referral Tracking Link
Once approved as a Referrer, you will receive a unique Referral tracking link that is personalized to your account. This tracking link is vital for ensuring proper tracking of leads and commissions. It must be used in its original format without any alterations. Referrers are prohibited from masking, modifying, or tampering with the tracking link in any way, including embedding it in scripts, pop-ups, or deceptive redirects. Failure to comply with this condition will result in nonpayment for any Referrals made using the masked, modified or tampered tracking link.
5. Commissions
Referrers will earn:
• $50 reward for any referred new business customer (average energy spend of less than $30k per annum per year)
• $200 reward for any referred new commercial customer (average energy spend of more than $30k per annum per year)
• The referrer will also receive a $50 bonus reward for their first new business customer referred and successfully switched via the Zembl service. This bonus is subject to a single redemption by the Referring account holder.
All referrals and conversions are subject to review and approval by Zembl to ensure that they meet the required standards. Any referrals found to be fraudulent, incomplete, or unqualified will not be eligible for commission. Zembl reserves the right to withhold commissions pending verification of the validity of the referred business.
Reasons for Declined Commissions:
There are several reasons why a referral may not qualify for a commission, including but not limited to:
• The referral was already an existing customer of Zembl.
• The referral was a residential account, as the program only accepts business or commercial referrals.
• The referral decided not to switch with Zembl
• The referral was based in Northern Territory (NT) or part of an embedded network, which are ineligible areas, or in an unsellable part of TAS or WA.
6. Payment Terms
Commissions are paid out monthly, with payments being processed on the 28th day of each month via the Referrer's chosen redemption method. To receive payment, the Referral's commission balance must reach a minimum threshold of $50. If the minimum balance is not met, commissions will roll over to the following month until the threshold is reached. It is the responsibility of the Referrer to ensure that all payment details and preferences are accurate and up to date. Zembl will not be held liable for any delays or issues resulting from incorrect payment information.
7. Prohibited Activities
Referrals must adhere to ethical standards when promoting Zembl’s services. The following actions are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of Referral status without notice:
• Using misleading or deceptive practices to generate leads.
• Engaging in spamming or sending unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws.
• Misrepresenting Zembl’s services or making false claims.
• Engaging in Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising that involves bidding on Zembl's branded keywords or using Zembl’s trademarks in PPC ads without prior written approval.
Any violation of these prohibited activities will result in immediate forfeiture of earned commissions and possible legal action.
