Referral program
The link to your overview comes by email.
For every business that comes through you and pays for a project. One code for all of them, no cap.
Get your code€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.

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.
Your name and email, then confirm the address with a link. The code comes right away.
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.
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
Only your own details. The business gets in touch with me itself.
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.
Please confirm your email address. I’ve sent you an email. Click the link in it, and you’ll get your code. The link works for 48 hours.
No email? Check your spam folder. If you’re already in, you’ll get the link to your overview instead.
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.
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.
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%.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. There’s a bonus only for a business that becomes a client itself, not for recruiting other referrers.
What counts is the terms of participation. Read the terms of participation
