Safenest · Field Partner Agreement
Safenest Technologies Private Limited
Version FF-PA-2026-09
1. Nature of relationship
- Safenest Technologies Private Limited (“Company”) appoints the Partner as a non-exclusive field partner to visit parties, book orders and collect on allotted beats.
- The Partner is an independent contractor — not an employee, agent, apprentice, franchisee or workman of the Company. This paper does not create employment, a joint venture or a partnership under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
- The Partner shall not represent themselves as the Company, sign for the Company, or commit the Company beyond this Agreement.
- The Partner may refuse a call. The Company does not guarantee a minimum number of parties, orders or earnings.
2. Territory and tools
- HQ allots one or more beats. Allotment can change with notice. Cover is not exclusive — other partners may work the same area.
- Punch, GPS, shop photos and the Fieldforce app are tools to record work. Using them does not, by itself, make the Partner an employee.
- Rates, beats and specials are published in the app. The live card on Commission is the rate that applies to new billed work.
3. Commission
- Commission accrues the minute a billed order, productive call or collection is saved, on the live rate card (and any live special) at that minute.
- HQ may change the live card. A change applies only to work billed after the change. The Company will give at least 14 days’ notice in the app before a cut in rates, as required for fair contracts in Karnataka.
- Past hits are not rewritten when the card changes.
4. Hold and payout
- Earned commission sits in hold for 7 days, then it is ready. HQ usually pays on Monday, by UPI, NEFT or cash, to the UPI ID / bank the Partner keeps on Commission.
- HQ may pay earlier by waiving hold. There is no automatic bank push — a payout is a recorded voucher.
- Net paid = gross commission minus TDS. The commission slip is a disbursement record, not a salary slip.
5. TDS and KYC
- TDS is deducted at payout under the Income-tax Act. With a valid PAN on file the Company currently deducts 5%. Without PAN, 20% applies (section 206AA). Statutory rates may change; the slip shows the rate used on that voucher.
- The Partner shall keep PAN, UPI ID and bank details true. Wrong UPI is the Partner’s risk.
- The Partner is responsible for their own income-tax return, GST registration if their turnover crosses the threshold, and any professional tax.
6. Returns and clawback
- If goods come back from a party within 7 days of the billed order, the order commission on that value is clawed back in proportion, including cuts already paid (taken off the next voucher).
- Visit and collection commission is not clawed for a goods return.
7. Partner obligations
- Do not overcharge a party. Do not collect into a personal account except the UPI / bank on file for Company payouts.
- Comply with Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Shop and customer data stays in the app.
- Shop photos, GPS and bills must be genuine. Fake visits or bills are material breach.
8. No employment claims
- The Partner shall not claim salary, PF, ESI, gratuity, bonus, leave encashment or appointment as a workman arising from this Agreement.
- If a competent authority later holds the relationship to be employment, both parties will cooperate to regularise papers. Until then this Agreement governs commission work.
9. Term and termination
- This Agreement is for one year from signing and renews automatically unless ended in writing.
- Either party may end it with 30 days’ written notice (email or in-app mail is enough).
- The Company may end it immediately for fraud, fake visits, overcharging, or regulatory breach. Pending ready commission is paid within 30 days, less clawbacks and TDS.
