WASTER/REFER – Referral Program Terms and Conditions
1. Overview
These Terms govern participation in the Waster referral program.
The program allows commercial real estate agencies and other referrers (“Referrers”) to receive commission for introducing new customers to Waster Pty Ltd (“Waster”, “we”, “us”).
Participation in the program, including submitting referral details or providing Waster information to prospective customers, constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
2. Nature of Relationship
This is a referral arrangement only.
Nothing in this program or these Terms creates:
- An employment relationship
- An agency relationship
- A partnership or joint venture
- Any authority for the Referrer to act on behalf of Waster
The Referrer has no authority to:
- Bind Waster to any agreement
- Make representations on behalf of Waster
- Negotiate pricing or terms
The Referrer and Waster operate as independent parties at arm’s length.
3. How Referrals Work
Referrers may introduce Waster to prospective customers by:
- Providing an information pack or link to the customer, and
- Recommending Waster as a waste services provider
It is expected and acknowledged that:
- The Referrer may receive a financial benefit if the customer signs up
- The Referrer may disclose this to the customer
A referral may also be submitted directly to Waster via form or email.
4. Referral Validity
A referral is valid where:
- The Referrer submits a customer’s details to Waster, and
- The customer is not already an existing, previously quoted or active Waster customer
A referred customer must formally contract services with Waster within 90 days of the initial referral date to qualify.
Waster reserves the right to determine referral validity.
5. Low-Pressure Contact Policy
Waster operates a strict low-pressure approach.
- Waster will contact the referred customer once only using the details provided
- Waster will not follow up or repeatedly contact the customer
- If the customer does not proceed, Waster will not continue contact
Where appropriate, contact details may be removed from active systems after this initial contact.
This ensures Referrers’ relationships with their tenants are respected and avoids unwanted solicitation.
6. Commission
- Commission is 4% of revenue (excluding GST)
- Commission is paid plus GST where applicable (subject to provision of a valid tax invoice)
- Commission is calculated only on amounts received by Waster from the customer
If a referred customer initially signs up for one service and later adds additional services, those additional services will also be included in the commission calculation.
7. Payment of Commission
- Commission is payable 7 days after Waster receives payment from the customer
- Payments are made by bank transfer only
- Referrers must provide valid payment details and ABN (if applicable)
8. Duration of Commission
Commission is payable only while:
- The referred customer remains active with Waster, and
- Waste services continue at the site
Commission ceases immediately if:
- The customer cancels services
- The site closes
- Services are suspended or stop for any reason
If a customer cancels services and later recommences services:
- The referral will not qualify for commission unless the customer is referred again as a new referral
9. No Guarantee of Commission
- There is no guarantee that any referral will convert to a customer
- Commission is only payable on successful, paying customers
10. No Liability and No Enforceable Right to Future Commission

Waster makes no representation or guarantee as to:
- The number of referrals that will convert to customers
- The duration of any customer relationship
- The amount of commission that may be earned
To the extent permitted by law, Waster has no liability to the Referrer for:
- Loss of commission (including future or anticipated commission)
- Loss of business opportunity
- Any indirect or consequential loss
Nothing in these Terms constitutes a promise, representation or guarantee of ongoing commission.
11. Customer Relationship and Information

The Referrer has no legal relationship with referred customers and no entitlement to customer information beyond what Waster chooses to provide.

- Payment details
Waster may, at its discretion, provide general information to the Referrer regarding:

Waster will use this information only to contact the customer in accordance with the low-pressure policy outlined above.
