A tenth goes to you.

€8,000the business’s project , €800for you

The business pays €8,000, the same as without you. Once the project is paid, I transfer €800 to you. There’s no cap: on €30,000, it’s €3,000.

Example, all amounts net. There’s no bonus on the monthly fee.

One code for every business you know.

Your code works as often as you pass it on. Every business that comes through you and pays brings its own 10%.

Your code is tied to your email address. The bonus always goes to you, even if you share the code publicly.

How it works.

  1. Get your code.

    Your name and email, then confirm the address with a link. The code comes right away.

  2. Pass it on.

    The business gets in touch and mentions your code or your name, in the contact form under “Referred by” or in their first message. With your link, the code’s already in the form.

  3. Get your bonus.

    Once the project is paid, I transfer 10% to you within 30 days.

You can see what becomes of each referral in your overview, and you get a short email at every step. Go to your overview

Your code.

Only your own details. The business gets in touch with me itself.

What happens to your details is in the privacy policy, section “Referral form.”

Would you rather sell it yourself?

If you run the sale, with the contract, the invoice and the risk of nonpayment on your side, you buy from me at 15% below my fixed price, 20% from the third project on. We sign a framework agreement for that.

How reselling works

Questions.

Does the business get a worse price?

No. They pay the same price as without a referral; the bonus comes out of my share. The proposal says openly that they came through you and that you get a bonus.

I look after the business as their IT provider. Which way is mine?

It depends on what you take on, not on your company. If you only pass on the contact, you refer, at 10%. If you run the sale, with the contract, invoice, nonpayment risk and support questions on your side, you resell, at 15%.

How do I see what becomes of my referral?

In your overview, no password: I email you the link, it works for 30 days, and you can request a new one with your email address. You also get a short email at every step. You see the business’s proposal, order and payment once they’ve agreed to it; until then, it says “under review.”

Do I need to be registered as a business?

No. As an individual, you get the bonus against your name, address and bank details. As a business, you send me an invoice, or I issue a self-billed credit note. If you refer regularly, we sign a written agreement from the third case on.

When do I get paid?

Within 30 days after the business has paid the project in full, by bank transfer to the details you enter in your overview. If they withdraw or don’t pay, there’s no bonus. If the price is reduced, I calculate from what was actually paid.

Is there a cap?

No, neither per project nor on the number of businesses. It stays 10%, even on a large project: on €30,000, it’s €3,000.

What about taxes?

Those are yours. For individuals in Germany, bonuses count as other income (§ 22 No. 3 EStG); they’re only tax-free if all income of this kind stays under €256 a year. I keep the name and address of every recipient, as the tax office requires (§ 160 AO). For your own case, ask your tax advisor.

Can I share my code publicly?

Yes. Your code is tied to your email address, so the bonus always goes to you, even if you share it publicly. Say that you get a bonus for referrals, for example with “Ad” at the start; without that note, it would be hidden advertising (§ 5a(4) UWG). In conversation, tell the business the same.

What’s not allowed?

Emails, calls or messages to people who haven’t agreed to them, and acting in the name of SW labs. Paid search ads on “SW labs,” “Felix Winkel” or misspellings of them, and domains that could be mistaken for them. A bonus that flows back, in full or in part, to the business, its owners or employees, including through a straw man. Anyone who breaks these rules is out, open bonuses lapse, and I reclaim any bonus already paid.

When is there no bonus?

For businesses that were already in touch with me in the twelve months before their first message (inquiry, call, proposal), for existing clients, and for your own or an affiliated company. You’ll hear about it within five business days, without details about the business. If you work at or look after the business you refer, only if the owner knows. For now, I don’t pay tax advisors or lawyers until it’s clear whether their professional rules allow it.

What if the business forgets the code?

Then your name is enough, as long as they mention it the first time they get in touch. If they mention neither, I can’t match the referral. If two people refer the same business, whoever the business names first counts.

Do I get anything for signing up other referrers?

No. There’s a bonus only for a business that becomes a client itself, not for recruiting other referrers.
