Referral Program Terms

Last updated: October 24, 2026

These Referral Program Terms are part of the Vendor Listing Agreement between you and LaVilla Holdings LLC, doing business as Christian Wedding Vendor ("CWV"). They explain how you earn commissions by referring other wedding vendors to CWV.

1. Who can refer

Any vendor with an approved, active listing in good standing can take part, including founding vendors. Your personal referral link is in your dashboard.

2. What counts as a referral

A referral counts when a vendor:

1. starts signup through your referral link;
2. is new to CWV and has never had a CWV listing;
3. is not you, your business, a business you own or control, or someone acting on your behalf; and
4. has their listing approved.

If a vendor doesn't sign up through your link, the referral can't be added later.

3. What you earn

• You earn a commission on the subscription payments CWV receives from each vendor you refer during the first 12 months after their first paid payment.
• Your commission rate is shown in your dashboard. The standard rate is 30%. CWV may set a different rate for some referrers; the rate shown when a referred vendor signs up applies to that vendor.
• Commissions are calculated on the payment amount before taxes. Taxes are not included.
• Free trials and founding listings don't generate commissions, because no payment is made. If a referred vendor starts paying later, payments in the first 12 months after their first paid payment count.
• Vendors you refer pay standard prices. Referrals don't include a discount for the vendor who signs up.

4. How you're paid

• Payouts are made through Stripe Connect. To be paid, you must complete Stripe's account setup, including identity and bank details, directly with Stripe.
• Each commission is held for 30 days after the referred vendor's payment, then becomes payable.
• Payouts are sent once your payable balance reaches at least $10.
• If a referred vendor's payment is refunded or disputed before its commission is paid, that commission is canceled.
• If you haven't completed Stripe setup within 12 months after a commission becomes payable, we will remind you by email; commissions still unclaimed after that period are forfeited.

5. Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes on your commissions. CWV or Stripe may ask for tax information and issue tax forms, such as Form 1099, where required.

6. How to promote your link

You may share your link with vendors you know, in your own posts, emails, and conversations, and in paid ads on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Pinterest. Whenever you promote CWV with your link, clearly say that you earn a commission for referrals, as required by Federal Trade Commission rules. You may not:

• send spam or unsolicited bulk messages;
• make false or misleading statements about CWV, its prices, or its results;
• present yourself as CWV or as acting on CWV's behalf;
• run paid ads on Google, Bing, or any other search engine or search ad network that mention CWV or link to CWV, including bidding on CWV's name or related keywords;
• run ads that appear to come from CWV, or use CWV's logo or branding in a way that suggests CWV made or approved your ad;
• offer cash, gifts, or discounts to get vendors to sign up; or
• create accounts or listings to earn commissions.

7. Ending participation

• If you close your listing, commissions already earned are still paid under these terms. You stop earning new commissions.
• If we find fraud, self-referrals, or a breach of these terms, we may cancel affected commissions, including unpaid ones, and remove you from the program.

8. Relationship

Taking part in the referral program doesn't make you CWV's employee, agent, or partner, and you have no authority to act or make promises on CWV's behalf.

9. Changes

CWV may change or end the referral program with at least 30 days' notice by email. Commissions earned before a change takes effect are paid under the terms in effect when they were earned.
