What is Eventcut?
The platform your clients already need
Eventcut is an AI-powered video processing platform built for live events. It gives event organisers, production teams, and brands the tools to capture, process, and distribute high-quality video from live events without needing a post-production team.
| Eventcut is used by | Common use cases |
|---|---|
| Corporate event teams | Hybrid conference recording and distribution |
| Conference organisers | Keynote capture and same-day highlight reels |
| AV production companies | Multi-camera livestream mixing and post-event edits |
| Sports and entertainment venues | Live clip delivery to digital channels |
| Agencies running brand events | Client-ready deliverables without an edit suite |
Who is this programme for?
If your network runs events, you belong here
If you work with, advise, or sell to organisations that run live events, you are a natural fit. You do not need any technical knowledge — just a network of people who could benefit from Eventcut.
Event managers & planners
You organise the event. You know who is looking for better video workflows.
AV production companies
You are already on site. Introduce clients to a platform that extends your value.
Speakers & presenters
You are on stage. The organiser needs this. Make the introduction.
Videographers & crews
You capture the footage. Eventcut is how your clients distribute it.
Event tech consultants
You advise on the stack. Add Eventcut to your recommendation list.
Corporate event teams
Your internal events team runs 20+ events a year. They need this.
What you earn
15% direct · 10%+5% in a chain
15% Direct introduction
You introduce the client. The full 15% of every payment we collect from them goes to you.
10% + 5% Introduction chain
Someone recruited you into the programme. You introduce the client. You earn 10%, they earn 5%. Same total payout.
Three scenarios — plain English
| Scenario | Who earns what | On a $6,000 deal |
|---|---|---|
| Partner A brought you in; you introduce a client | You: 10% · Partner A: 5% | You: $600 · Partner A: $300 |
| A recruited B, B recruited you, you introduce a client | You: 10% · B: 5% · A: nothing* | You: $600 · B: $300 · A: $0 |
It does not matter who closes
Your job is the introduction. We handle all pricing, negotiation, and contract execution. Once we confirm your referral, you are protected for 12 months. If a contract signs in that window, you earn — regardless of how much (or how little) involvement you had after the introduction.
Commission does not stop at Year 1. Your commission applies to the initial contract term and to every renewal and expansion of that same contract. If the client you introduced keeps paying us, you keep earning.
You do not need to re-submit a referral for renewals. Attribution is automatic.
Commission examples
| Client type | Contract | Year 1 commission | Year 2 (renewal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conference organiser, 3-day event package | $18,000 | $2,700 | $2,700 if renewed |
| Sports league, annual SaaS subscription | $48,000 | $7,200 | $7,200 if renewed |
| 50 event organisers @ $250/yr | $12,500 | $1,875 | $1,875 if renewed |
How to refer someone
Six steps from introduction to payment
Register at partnerportal.io
Complete your profile, enter your payment details, and submit your tax form (W-9 for US; W-8BEN for international). Your account is active within one business day.
Submit your referral
Log in and complete the referral form. We need the prospect's name, contact details, deal type, your relationship to them, and a rough deal size. If the portal is down, email mail@editonthespot.com.
We confirm within 3 business days
We check whether the prospect is already in our pipeline. If accepted, your 12-month Referral Protection Period begins. If they are already in our pipeline, we will note your involvement and may still pay a discretionary commission.
Facilitate (optional)
Make a warm introduction, join an initial call, share context about the prospect's needs. You do not have to do this to earn your commission, but it often speeds things up.
Deal closes
Your portal updates automatically when a contract is signed. Commission is calculated on Net Collected Fees — the cash actually received from the client, after any refunds or credits.
Get paid
Within 30 days of each payment we receive from the client. Payments are aggregated and sent when your running balance reaches $100. Funds go to the bank account in your portal profile.
First-touch rule: if two partners refer the same prospect, the first accepted referral (by portal timestamp) wins. We pay one commission chain per deal.
12-month protection: once accepted, your referral is protected for 12 months — even if the agreement ends during that period.
Getting paid
What you need to have in place
Before your first payment
Make sure the following are on file in your Partner Portal profile. We cannot process payments until they are:
If a payment is delayed because these are not on file, it is not a breach of our agreement. We will release the payment as soon as the information is received.
Clawback
If a client receives a full or partial refund within 90 days of a payment, we will deduct the corresponding commission from your next payout. This protects both parties against cancellations early in a contract. It is rare in practice.
Disputes
If you think a commission statement is wrong, raise it in the portal dispute centre within 30 days of the statement date. Disputes raised after that window are waived unless the error was caused by our mistake or fraud.
Disclosure and compliance
A simple rule: be transparent
When you recommend us to someone in a public channel — on LinkedIn, in a newsletter, at an event, on a podcast — you must make it clear you are a paid referral partner. This is an FTC requirement and protects you as much as us.
The $100 Recruiting Bonus
Earn for growing the network
If you introduce another professional to the programme and they successfully make their first client introduction, you earn a one-time $100 USD bonus — on top of any Upstream Partner commission.
| What happens | What you earn |
|---|---|
| You recruit Partner X. They register but have not introduced a client yet. | $0 (not yet triggered) |
| Partner X introduces their first client. The deal closes. | $100 one-time Recruiting Bonus |
| Partner X introduces their second, third… clients. | 5% Upstream Partner commission on each (while you hold Active Status) |
Active Status means you have either closed at least one client introduction yourself in the last 12 months, or you have at least two recruited partners who have each made a successful introduction. Your portal dashboard shows your current status.
Strategic partnerships
Earn for growing the network
The standard programme works for most referrals. If you are considering a deeper arrangement — reselling, white-labelling, integration, or a custom commercial structure — we handle those separately.
Before investing effort in a strategic deal, request a Deal Memo via the portal or email us at mail@editonthespot.com. A Deal Memo specifies the prospect, scope, and commission basis. We respond within 5 business days.
No signed Deal Memo = no commission on a strategic or bespoke deal. This protects both parties by setting expectations before effort is invested.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to close the deal to earn commission?
No. Your job is the introduction. Once we confirm your referral, you are protected for 12 months. We handle pricing, negotiation, and contract execution. If the client signs during your protection window, you earn.
What if the client I referred was already in your pipeline?
We will note your involvement. If your introduction genuinely contributed to moving the deal forward, we may pay a discretionary commission. We will let you know within 3 business days of your submission.
What if two partners refer the same client?
First-touch attribution applies. The first accepted referral, determined by portal timestamp, wins. We pay one commission chain per deal.
Does commission apply to renewals?
Yes. Your commission applies to the initial contract term and to every subsequent renewal and expansion of that same contract. You do not need to re-submit a referral for renewals.
What is Net Collected Fees?
It is the cash we actually receive from the client, after any refunds, credits, chargebacks, and taxes. Commission is always calculated on this figure, not on invoiced or contracted amounts.
What is the 90-day clawback?
If a client receives a refund within 90 days of a payment, we deduct the corresponding commission from your next payout. This is rare in practice.
I was recruited by someone else. Does that affect what I earn on direct introductions?
Only if you also have an Upstream Partner above you. If you directly introduce a client with no chain involved, you earn the full 15%. The 10%/5% split applies only when there is an Upstream Partner in your chain.
