Introductions are documented. Relationships are protected.
Protection should preserve attribution and commercial clarity without pretending Aperture owns every future transaction between two parties.
Defined scope
A vendor agreement may define a qualifying introduced account, products, territory, time period and which types of subsequent business remain commission-bearing.
Expansion can be covered
Depending on the accepted terms, scope may include reorders, consumables, maintenance, upgrades, subscriptions, renewals, additional units, locations or other agreed expansion.
No universal entitlement
The site does not state that all future business automatically belongs to Aperture. The written commercial terms control.
We do not interfere with established vendor-client relationships.
If Aperture independently identifies a buyer and later learns that the vendor already has an established active relationship with that buyer, Aperture will ordinarily withdraw that referral route unless a genuinely distinct new opportunity is expressly recognised.
Same buyer, different needs
A buyer may be connected to different vendors over time when the needs are distinct and each connection makes commercial sense.
Same vendor, further buyers
An activated vendor may receive further researched opportunities, but volume is never promised and buyer identity is not distributed as a list.
Transparent enough to understand, proportionate enough not to dominate the service.
A vendor may pay Aperture an agreed referral, introduction, opportunity-development or commercial connection commission when qualifying business results. Where disclosure to a buyer is material, it should be made clearly and proportionately. Dual compensation in the same transaction should not be used unless lawful, appropriate and transparently agreed.
