Incorporated into the AccuSights Empower Partner Agreement v2026.10. Capitalized terms are defined in the Agreement. Rate reductions apply only to clients tagged after a change takes effect; clients already tagged keep their rate card for the life of the tag (Agreement § 6.12).
1. Rate card
All rates are a percentage of Gross Revenue Collected from the Tagged Client by AccuSights, Inc. or AccuSights LLC, for every AccuSights service (Assess, Comply, CMMC Accelerator, AI Governance, Secure Office, Protect / SOC-as-a-Service, vCISO, professional services, platform subscriptions), for the lifetime of the client — as long as the client pays and the tag has not ended under Agreement § 4.6. AccuSights, Inc. pays every Commission, including Commissions on Protect and vCISO revenue collected by AccuSights LLC.
Rates depend on two things: the Partner's Tier (and, for Tier 2 and Tier 3, its Level — Core, Select or Elite) and whether the client is a Referred-Only Client or a Managed Client.
| Tier 1 — Empower Referrer | Tier 2 — Empower MSP Partner | Tier 3 — Empower Platform Partner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who | MSPs, CPAs and accounting firms, law firms, insurance brokers, fractional CFOs, consultants, individuals | MSPs, MSSPs and IT firms that co-manage, bundle, bill at wholesale or white-label | Auditors, compliance consultants, CPA firms and vCISO practices that bring clients and deliver inside the platform |
| What you do | Share your Unique Link or register a referral; AccuSights sells, delivers and manages | Bring clients and manage the account: co-manage, bundle with your managed services, bill at wholesale or white-label | Deliver Assess / Comply engagements and Continuous Compliance subscriptions in-platform under your brand or co-brand; AccuSights provides platform, AI, templates, QA and optional backend delivery |
| Referred-Only Clients (you introduced; AccuSights sells, delivers and manages) | Client Year 1: 15% · Client Year 2: 7.5% · Client Year 3 and every year after: 3.75% (floor, for life) | Client Year 1: 30% / 35% / 40% (Core / Select / Elite) · Client Year 2: half that rate · Client Year 3 and after: one quarter of that rate (floor, for life) | Protect and vCISO you referred: 30% Year 1 → 15% Year 2 → 7.5% Year 3 and after (floor). Any other purchase you referred but do not deliver: 20% Year 1 → 10% Year 2 → 5% Year 3 and after (floor) |
| Managed Clients (you do the ongoing work) | n/a | 30% / 35% / 40% (Core / Select / Elite), flat every year for as long as you actively manage the account | 40% / 45% / 50% (Core / Select / Elite), flat, on every Assess / Comply engagement and Continuous Compliance subscription you deliver in-platform, for as long as you deliver it |
| AccuSights-sourced accounts you are assigned to manage | n/a | 10% of Gross Revenue Collected while you remain the assigned manager (not a Tagged Client; does not count toward Level criteria) | By Tier Addendum |
| White-label wholesale price | n/a | List less your Level rate (30 / 35 / 40%). No separate Commission on white-label orders; the discount is your margin. | Available by Tier Addendum |
| Deal Registration | Not required | 120-day Protection Period, one 60-day extension; 2-business-day approval; 10% incumbency price advantage at renewal | Same as Tier 2 |
| MDF accrual | — | 3% of partner-sourced Gross Revenue Collected, posted quarterly, expires after 2 quarters | Same as Tier 2 |
| Requirements | None beyond the Agreement (FTC disclosure, no brand bidding, no spam, no false claims, no discounts or promises) | One named partner manager; one person completes the 2-hour MSP certification; quarterly check-in | Named practice lead; 1-day platform certification; one case study per year; QA acceptance of first two engagements |
| Duration | Lifetime of the client | Lifetime of the client | Lifetime of the client |
Tier 1 has no Levels and no volume accelerators. A Tier 1 Partner's rate for a given client depends only on that client's Client Year.
2. Definitions used in this Schedule
Client Year. Each successive 12-month period measured from the date of the Tagged Client's first payment to AccuSights or AccuSights LLC. Client Year 1 begins on the first payment date; Client Year 2 begins on the first anniversary of that date; and so on. The Client Year is per client and does not reset when the client adds services, seats or entities, renews, or changes Partner status.
Referred-Only Client. A Tagged Client that Partner introduced and that AccuSights sells to, contracts with, delivers to and manages directly, with no ongoing management or delivery role for Partner. Every Tier 1 Tagged Client is a Referred-Only Client.
Managed Client. (a) For a Tier 2 Partner, a Tagged Client account that Partner actively co-manages, bundles with its own managed services, bills at wholesale, or white-labels, as selected for that client in the Portal at the time of order and confirmed by AccuSights; and (b) for a Tier 3 Partner, each Assess or Comply engagement and each Continuous Compliance subscription that Partner itself delivers in-platform to a Tagged Client. A client (or, for Tier 3, an engagement or subscription) is a Managed Client only while Partner is actually performing that role.
Level (Tier 2 and Tier 3 only). Core, Select or Elite, determined under Section 3 of this Schedule and Agreement § 3.3.
Active Tagged Client. A Tagged Client that, on the last day of the calendar month, (a) has a paid subscription with AccuSights or AccuSights LLC in force (including annual-prepaid subscriptions), or (b) has an open engagement or SOW on which AccuSights has collected payment within the preceding 90 days. A client on a free trial, in a promotional period, suspended for non-payment, or whose tag has ended is not Active. A client under the Client Credit Option does count.
Partner-sourced Gross Revenue Collected. Gross Revenue Collected from Partner's Tagged Clients, excluding AccuSights-sourced accounts assigned under Agreement § 10.7.
Gross Revenue Collected. Cash actually collected from the Tagged Client, net only of taxes, refunds and chargebacks, and third-party pass-through hardware or licenses re-billed at cost. See Agreement § 2.
3. Levels: Core, Select and Elite (Tier 2 and Tier 3)
| Level | Criteria (all must be met) | Tier 2 Managed rate | Tier 3 Managed rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | Enrolled; certification complete; named partner manager (Tier 2) or practice lead (Tier 3) | 30% | 40% |
| Select | 6 or more months in good standing and (5 or more Active Tagged Clients or $50,000 partner-sourced Gross Revenue Collected in the trailing 12 months) and at least one co-marketing activity per quarter (webinar, newsletter feature, event, published case study, or campaign using the Share Kit) | 35% | 45% |
| Elite | 12 or more months in good standing and (15 or more Active Tagged Clients or $150,000 partner-sourced Gross Revenue Collected in the trailing 12 months) and an annual joint business plan and two co-marketing activities per quarter and one case study per year | 40% | 50% |
Review and timing. AccuSights reviews each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Partner's Level every January and at any time on Partner's request through the Portal. A promotion takes effect on the first day of the month after the review. A demotion takes effect only after 90 days' written notice and a cure period running through that notice period; if Partner meets the criteria for its current Level by the end of the notice period, no demotion occurs.
What a Level change does and does not do. A Level change moves the rate line that applies to Partner's Managed Clients and to the Year-1 rate of Referred-Only Clients tagged from the effective date. It never removes a tag. The Year-1 rate of a Referred-Only Client is fixed at Partner's Level on the client's first payment date; the Year-2 and Year-3-and-after rates are then half and one quarter of that fixed Year-1 rate.
4. Off-ramp mechanics (Referred-Only Clients)
- Per client, on the client's anniversary. The step-down from the Year-1 rate to the Year-2 rate, and from Year 2 to Year 3, happens on the anniversary of that client's first payment — not on a calendar date and not on Partner's enrollment anniversary. Each Tagged Client has its own Client Year.
- Year 3 is the floor, permanently. The Client Year 3 rate applies in Year 3 and every year after, for as long as the client pays and the tag has not ended. There is no further reduction in Year 4 or later, and no expiry.
- Annual prepayments. A payment is commissioned at the rate for the Client Year in which it is collected. A client's annual prepayment collected in Client Year 1 is commissioned entirely at the Year-1 rate.
- Switching to Managed. If a Referred-Only Client of a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Partner later becomes a Managed Client (Partner takes over management, or begins delivering an engagement or subscription in-platform), the Managed rate applies to Gross Revenue Collected from the month in which the Managed status is recorded in the Portal, forward.
- Switching back. If Partner's management or delivery ends but the tag continues, the client returns to the Referred-Only schedule at the Client Year it would otherwise be in (for example, a client in Client Year 4 returns at the Year-3-and-after floor rate).
- Tier 3 mixed accounts. For a Tier 3 Partner, the Managed rate applies to the engagements and subscriptions Partner delivers; the Referred-Only Protect / vCISO and other-purchase schedules apply to everything else the same client buys.
5. Worked examples
All examples use published AccuSights prices: Protect Advanced at $35 per user per month; CMMC Level 2 Gap Readiness at $6,000; Financial GRC Tier 2 at $10,000; and, where a subscription example is needed, a $500/month Continuous Compliance subscription (illustrative).
Example A — CPA (Tier 1) refers a Protect client. A 25-user client buys Protect Advanced at $35 per user per month = $875/month collected by AccuSights LLC. Client Year 1: 15% × $875 = $131.25 per month. Client Year 2: 7.5% = $65.63 per month. Client Year 3 and every year after: 3.75% = $32.81 per month, for as long as the client pays. All paid by AccuSights, Inc., by the 15th of the following month. If the CPA performs attest services for this client, the CPA elects the Client Credit Option and the same amounts are credited to the client's invoices instead.
Example B — CPA (Tier 1) refers a CMMC readiness client. The client buys a CMMC Level 2 Gap Readiness engagement at $6,000 (one-time) and then a $500/month Continuous Compliance subscription (illustrative). Month 1: 15% × $6,000 = $900. Every month of Client Year 1: 15% × $500 = $75. Client Year 2: $37.50 per month. Client Year 3 and after: $18.75 per month for the life of the client.
Example C — MSP (Tier 2, Core) manages that same Protect account. The MSP co-manages the 25-user Protect Advanced account ($875/month) as a Managed Client. 30% × $875 = $262.50 every month, in Year 1, Year 2, Year 5 and beyond — for as long as the MSP actively manages the account. At Select the same account pays $306.25 per month; at Elite, $350.
Example D — MSP (Tier 2, Core) refers only. The same MSP introduces a different 25-user Protect Advanced client but does not manage the account (a Referred-Only Client). Client Year 1: 30% = $262.50 per month. Client Year 2: 15% = $131.25 per month. Client Year 3 and after: 7.5% = $65.63 per month, for life. If the MSP later takes over management of the account, the flat 30% Managed rate resumes from that month; if management later ends, the client returns to the schedule at its then-current Client Year.
Example E — Auditor (Tier 3, Core) delivers in-platform. Partner brings a client and delivers a $10,000 Financial GRC Tier 2 engagement inside the AccuSights platform. 40% × $10,000 = $4,000 to Partner (Select: $4,500; Elite: $5,000). If Partner then delivers a $500/month Continuous Compliance subscription in-platform for the same client, Partner earns 40% = $200 per month flat for as long as it delivers it. If the client separately buys Protect Advanced from AccuSights LLC at $875/month on Partner's referral, Partner earns 30% = $262.50 per month in Client Year 1, $131.25 in Year 2 and $65.63 from Year 3; if the client buys a Secure Office subscription that Partner does not deliver, Partner earns 20% of it in Year 1, 10% in Year 2 and 5% from Year 3.
Example F — Level change. A Tier 2 Core MSP with two Managed Clients is promoted to Select in February after the January review. From February its Managed Clients pay 35% instead of 30%. A Referred-Only Client it tagged the previous year at the Core rate stays on its 30 / 15 / 7.5 schedule; a Referred-Only Client first paying in March starts at 35% and steps to 17.5% and 8.75%. No tag is affected.
Example G — AccuSights-sourced account. AccuSights assigns a Tier 2 MSP to manage a 25-user Protect Advanced account that AccuSights sourced ($875/month). The MSP earns 10% = $87.50 per month while it remains the assigned manager. The account is not a Tagged Client and does not count toward Level criteria.
Example H — White-label. A Tier 2 Core Partner white-labels a $500/month Continuous Compliance subscription (illustrative). It buys at wholesale $350 (list less 30%), bills its client at whatever price it sets, and pays AccuSights net 30 regardless of whether its client has paid. No separate Commission is paid on this order; the $150 margin is the Partner's, every month it holds the account.
