Program FAQ
What counts as a conflict?
An open MALA deal with the same client, an existing MALA client, or an earlier registration from another partner for the same company domain.
How long does a registration last?
90 days from the day it's confirmed. Once the client is engaged in the MALA process, it stays with you through close.
Will you tell me who else registered the client?
No. Registrations and client details are never shared between partners.
How much do I earn, and for how long?
50% of MALA's net monthly recurring commission from each client you refer, for as long as that client keeps generating recurring revenue for MALA. One-time fees, professional services and vendor spiffs aren't included unless MALA agrees in writing.
When does my fee start?
When MALA receives the first commission from the vendor, which follows the client's first bill. Until then the client shows as "Won · awaiting commission".
When am I paid?
Monthly, within 30 days of MALA receiving the vendor's commission, as long as the client and vendor accounts are in good standing.
What if I already work with the client?
Tick the prior-relationship box when you register and describe it. A relationship disclosed at or before referral stays outside the agreement's non-circumvention clause.
Can I work with a referred client directly?
Not for services similar to MALA's. The agreement's non-circumvention clause runs during the agreement and for 24 months after, except for relationships you disclosed when you registered.
What happens if the agreement ends?
Either side can end it with 30 days' written notice. Fees on clients you referred before then keep paying, unless it ends for cause.
Why do you need my W-9, and how is it kept secure?
MALA reports referral fees to the IRS, so we collect a W-9 during setup. Your taxpayer ID is encrypted before it's stored, kept apart from other documents, and only MALA's finance contact can open it. It never goes out by email, and everywhere else we show only the last 4 digits. To update it, email eanderson@malatechadvisors.com and we'll send you a new one to sign.
How do I sign partner documents?
Right here in the portal. Open Documents (or the link in MALA's email), read the document, and type or draw your signature. MALA countersigns, and the signed PDF with its certificate is emailed to you and saved in Documents.
Can I register from the public website too?
Yes. Use the same work email and the registration will appear in your portal.
