Partner Agreement

About This Agreement

This Partner Agreement ("Agreement") forms a legally binding agreement between you (the "Partner Business" or "you") and Sakaloz ("we", "our", or "us") governing your participation as a Partner on the Sakaloz student discount platform in Portugal.

References to "Sakaloz", "we", "our" or "us" in this Agreement refer to the Sakaloz platform and service. Notices under this Agreement may be given to Sakaloz at sakaloz.hello@gmail.com (see also the Contact section below).

By signing up as a business on the Sakaloz platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement, the general Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.

This document is provided in several languages for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy between language versions, the English version prevails.

Eligibility & Onboarding

To join Sakaloz as a Partner, your business must meet all of the following:

• Be a legitimately operating business or sole trader in Portugal (or other supported region).
• Have a physical location or recognised online presence at which the discount will be honored.
• Hold all licences, permits, and registrations required to operate your business under Portuguese law.
• Be willing to honor a meaningful discount to verified Sakaloz student users.

During onboarding you will provide your business name, contact email, address, category, and any other information required to display your profile in the Sakaloz app. You confirm that the information you submit is accurate and that you have authority to bind the business to this Agreement.

The Partner Program

As a Sakaloz Partner:

• No fees — ever. Partners pay no subscription, no commission, no setup, listing, or per-redemption fees. Participation is free and will remain free — this is a permanent commitment, not a promotional period.
• Features, design, and behavior of the platform may change without prior notice as we iterate based on feedback.
• Service availability is best-effort. We do not guarantee uptime, response time, or that any particular feature will remain available.
• The platform is under continuous, active development, with new features arriving regularly.

Your Discount Offering

You will publish at least one discount in your Sakaloz business profile that is available to verified Sakaloz student users who present a valid Sakaloz QR code in-store during your normal business hours.

Your discount must be:

• Meaningful — a real saving compared to standard pricing, not a token amount.
• Clear — terms, exclusions, and any restrictions stated plainly in the discount description.
• Honored consistently — the same discount, on the same terms, every time a valid QR code is scanned during your published hours.

You may pause, modify, or replace your discount at any time through the Sakaloz business app. Changes take effect immediately and do not retroactively apply to discounts already redeemed.

Your Responsibilities

As a Partner you agree to:

• Keep your business information accurate and up to date — address, hours, contact details, category, and current discount.
• Honor every valid QR code redemption presented during your published opening hours, without additional minimum spend or hidden conditions beyond what your discount description states.
• Treat Sakaloz student users with the same care and professionalism as any other customer.
• Not attempt to identify, contact, or market to individual student users outside the in-store discount transaction.
• Comply with all applicable Portuguese consumer protection and commercial law in your dealings with student customers.

Sakaloz's Responsibilities

For our part, we will:

• List your business and discount in the Sakaloz app so verified student users can discover and redeem it.
• Verify that users presenting a Sakaloz QR code are genuine students through our student-ID verification process.
• Provide you with anonymised analytics in the business app — how many redemptions, when, and broad usage trends — never individual student identities.
• Provide reasonable support to help mediate any dispute between you and a student customer arising from a discount redemption.
• Use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the platform secure, available, and free of abuse.

Data, Privacy & Analytics

Sakaloz does not share student personal data with Partners. You will never receive a student's name, email address, phone number, student ID image, or any other identifying information.

The redemption analytics surfaced to you in the business app are aggregated and anonymised — for example, total redemptions in a period, peak hours, or category of student (general level, not individual identity).

All processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. As a Partner you agree not to attempt to re-identify, contact, or market to individual students based on the analytics we provide.

Brand & Marketing

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence to:

• Display the Sakaloz logo and "Sakaloz Partner" badge in your venue, on your website, and on your social media to indicate your participation.
• Reference your Sakaloz partnership in your own marketing materials.

In return, you grant Sakaloz a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to:

• Display your business name, logo, photos, address, and discount details in the Sakaloz app, on sakaloz.com, and in our promotional materials announcing partners.
• Use your business name in lists of participating venues for marketing purposes.

Either party may revoke their brand licence by giving notice; on revocation, the other party will remove the relevant branding within 7 days.

Term & Termination

This Agreement begins when you create your business account on Sakaloz and continues until terminated by either party.

Termination by you

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by emailing sakaloz.hello@gmail.com with the subject line "Withdraw Partnership". Termination takes effect within 48 hours; your business will be removed from the app and your account closed.

Termination by Sakaloz

We may suspend or terminate your Partnership at any time if you:

• Repeatedly fail to honor published discounts.
• Provide false or misleading information about your business.
• Treat Sakaloz students unfairly or unprofessionally.
• Violate any provision of this Agreement or the general Terms of Service.
• Engage in conduct that harms students, Sakaloz, or other partners.

For non-serious breaches we will generally provide notice and an opportunity to remedy. For serious breaches (fraud, repeated discount refusal, illegal activity) termination may be immediate.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Sakaloz platform is provided to Partners "as is" and without warranties of any kind.

In particular, Sakaloz is not liable to you for:

• Lost revenue or business opportunity arising from technical issues, downtime, or service interruption.
• Disputes between you and individual student customers (though we will help mediate).
• Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages of any kind.
• Decisions you make based on the analytics we provide.

Changes to These Terms

If we ever update this Agreement, we will publish a new version and ask you to accept it in the business app before the changes take effect.

At that point:

• You are under no obligation to accept an updated version. If you prefer not to, you may end your participation at any time, at no cost.
• We will give you at least 30 days' notice before the commercial terms take effect.
• Participation is and will remain free of charge: no fees, commission, or charges will ever apply — retroactively or in the future.

Early partners may receive additional benefits in recognition of their support; any such benefit only ever adds to these terms — it never introduces a charge.

Governing Law & Disputes

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Portugal, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Disputes shall first be attempted to be resolved amicably by contacting us at sakaloz.hello@gmail.com. If a resolution cannot be reached within 30 days, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lisbon, Portugal.
