In plain language. You share a link or a discount code. Someone buys using it. You earn a percentage of what they actually paid. We hold that amount until the return window closes, then pay you monthly by UPI or bank transfer. In exchange, you promote honestly — you never promise that a gemstone will cure an illness, guarantee a marriage, a child, a job or money, and you always disclose that the post is a paid partnership. Those last points are not house style; they are Indian law, and breaking them ends the partnership and forfeits unpaid commission.
1. Parties and definitions
These Terms form a binding agreement between MantraMani, having its place of business at Haltu, Kalikapur, Kolkata, West Bengal 700099, India, and operating the website www.mantramani.com ("MantraMani", "we", "us"), and the individual or entity accepted into the Astrologer Partner Programme ("Partner", "you").
| Programme | The MantraMani Astrologer Partner Programme described in these Terms. |
|---|---|
| Referral Link | The unique tracking URL issued to you. |
| Partner Code | The unique discount code issued to you, which also gives the customer a discount. |
| Qualifying Order | An order placed on www.mantramani.com, correctly attributed to you under §4, which has been paid for, delivered, and not cancelled, returned, refunded or charged back. |
| Net Revenue | The amount the customer actually paid for products, after all discounts (including your Partner Code and any automatic cart or checkout discount), and excluding shipping charges, GST and other taxes, cash-on-delivery fees, gift wrapping, and any amount later refunded. |
| Commission | The percentage of Net Revenue payable to you under §5. |
2. Eligibility
To join and remain in the Programme you must:
- be at least 18 years old and legally competent to contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872;
- be a resident of India, or an entity registered in India, unless we agree otherwise in writing;
- hold a valid PAN — this is required for tax deduction and is not optional (see §8);
- hold a bank account or UPI ID in your own name, matching your PAN;
- operate a genuine astrology, Vedic, spiritual or wellness practice, channel or audience;
- not be a current employee, contractor or agent of MantraMani.
We may verify any of the above at any time and may suspend your account while verification is pending.
3. Application and acceptance
Acceptance is at our sole discretion. We may decline any application without giving a reason, and declining does not create any claim against us.
You become a Partner only when we confirm acceptance in writing (email is sufficient) and issue your Referral Link and Partner Code. Commission accrues only on orders placed after that confirmation. Promotion undertaken before acceptance earns nothing, however successful.
By applying you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms and the MantraMani Partner Content Rules, which are incorporated into this agreement by reference.
4. How sales are tracked
4.1 Two mechanisms
- Partner Code — the customer enters your code at checkout. This is the primary and most reliable mechanism.
- Referral Link — the customer clicks your link and a tracking cookie is stored in their browser for 30 days. If they purchase within that window without using any other Partner's code, the order is attributed to you.
4.2 Order of priority
Where signals conflict, the Partner Code takes precedence over the cookie. Where two Partner cookies exist, the most recent click wins (last-click attribution).
4.3 Limits you should understand before you promote
Cookie tracking depends on the customer's browser and is outside our control. It will fail if the customer clears cookies, switches device or browser between clicking and buying, browses in private/incognito mode, uses a browser or extension that blocks tracking, or buys more than 30 days after the click. In-app browsers inside Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are particularly unreliable.
This is why we issue you a Partner Code. Always lead with the code. It is the only mechanism that works regardless of device, browser or elapsed time.
Our tracking records are the sole and final basis for calculating Commission. Screenshots, analytics from your own tools, or customer statements that they "used your link" are not evidence of a Qualifying Order. We are not liable for Commission on orders our systems did not record, and we do not pay Commission retrospectively for tracking failures.
5. Commission
| Tier | Qualifying condition | Commission on Net Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | On acceptance | 15% |
| Gold | Lifetime referred Net Revenue reaches ₹2,00,000 | 20% |
Tier upgrades apply from the first day of the month following the month in which the threshold is crossed. Tiers are not applied retrospectively.
Your Partner Code additionally gives the customer 10% off their order. This discount is funded by us, not deducted from your Commission — but note that because Commission is calculated on Net Revenue, the discount does reduce the base your percentage is applied to.
5.1 What does not earn Commission
- Shipping charges, GST and other taxes, COD handling fees, gift wrapping.
- Orders cancelled, returned, refunded, or subject to a chargeback.
- Orders paid for wholly or partly with a gift card or store credit, to the extent of that amount.
- Orders placed by you, your immediate family, or any account or address associated with you (see §10).
- Orders where a different Partner's code was applied.
- Orders placed before your acceptance into the Programme.
- Wholesale, bulk, corporate or negotiated orders, unless separately agreed in writing.
5.2 Order-level rules
Commission is calculated per order, not per item. Where an order is partly refunded, Commission is recalculated on the retained Net Revenue. Where an order is fully refunded, Commission is reversed in full.
6. Approval, holds and clawbacks
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | The order is recorded and attributed to you, but not yet payable. Commission enters this status immediately on order. |
| Approved | Payable. Commission is approved 10 days after delivery, which allows our 7-day return window to close, and is then confirmed in the monthly reconciliation on the 1st. |
| Reversed | The order was cancelled, returned, refunded or charged back, or the referral was found to breach these Terms. No amount is payable. |
Clawback. If an order is refunded or charged back after the Commission has been paid to you, we may deduct the amount from your next payout. If no further payout is due, you agree to repay it within 30 days of our written demand.
7. Payouts
- Cycle: monthly. Approved Commission for a calendar month is paid on or after the 7th of the following month.
- Minimum: ₹1,000. Balances below this roll over to the next cycle and are not lost.
- Method: UPI or NEFT/IMPS to the account you have registered. The account must be in your own name and match your PAN.
- Currency: Indian Rupees (INR) only.
- Charges: we bear standard domestic transfer charges. Charges arising from incorrect details you supplied are yours.
You are responsible for keeping your payout details accurate. We are not liable for funds transferred to an incorrect account because you gave us wrong details, and a re-transfer will be made only if the funds are actually returned to us.
Dormant balances. If your account is inactive for 12 consecutive months and your balance remains below the minimum payout, we may close the account and forfeit the balance after giving you 30 days' written notice at your registered email.
8. Taxes
Commission is professional income in your hands. You are solely responsible for declaring it and paying income tax on it. We do not provide tax advice — please consult your own chartered accountant.
8.1 TDS
Commission is subject to tax deducted at source under Section 194H of the Income-tax Act, 1961. We will deduct TDS at the rate prescribed from time to time once the aggregate Commission paid or payable to you in a financial year crosses the statutory threshold, deposit it against your PAN, and issue you Form 16A.
If you do not provide a valid PAN, TDS will be deducted at the higher rate prescribed under Section 206AA — currently 20%. Keep your PAN details current and correctly spelled; TDS credited against a wrong PAN cannot be recovered by us on your behalf.
8.2 GST
If you are registered under GST, you must supply your GSTIN and raise a valid tax invoice on us for your Commission, charging GST at the applicable rate. Commission will then be paid against that invoice.
If you are not registered under GST, no GST is charged. You must inform us promptly if you become registered, as this changes how you are paid.
You must notify us within 15 days of any change to your PAN, GST registration status, name or bank details.
9. How you may promote
You may promote MantraMani through channels you own or genuinely control:
- Your own YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X or other social channels.
- Your own website, blog or newsletter.
- Live sessions, consultations, workshops and webinars you host.
- WhatsApp broadcast lists and Telegram channels of people who have opted in to hear from you.
- Your own paid advertising, subject to §10.
Every promotion must comply with the MantraMani Partner Content Rules, the ASCI Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Central Consumer Protection Authority's guidelines on misleading advertisements and endorsements.
9.1 What you may say about our products
You may freely describe our process and documentation, because these are verifiable:
- natural gemstones, AAA grade, sourced from certified ethical mines;
- independently lab-tested, with the test report included in the box;
- energised through Prana Pratishtha with authentic mantras before dispatch;
- free shipping across India; 7-day no-questions-asked returns;
- handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans.
You may describe traditional Vedic significance as tradition and belief — for example, "in Vedic tradition, this stone is associated with Guru" — provided it is clearly framed as traditional belief and not as an assured effect.
9.2 What you may never say. You must never state or imply that any product will cure, treat, prevent or diagnose any disease or medical condition; will assist conception, pregnancy or fertility; will cure infertility, sexual dysfunction or any condition specified in the Schedule to the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954; or will guarantee any specific outcome in money, career, examinations, litigation, marriage or relationships.
That Act expressly reaches talismans, mantras and kavachs claimed to have curative or preventive power, and carries criminal liability. Separately, under Section 21(6) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, an endorser of a misleading advertisement may personally be fined up to ₹10 lakh (up to ₹50 lakh for repeat contraventions) and barred from making endorsements for one to three years.
This is your personal exposure as much as ours. There is no version of a sale that is worth it.
10. Prohibited conduct
You must not:
- Self-refer. Use your own code or link for your own purchases, or for purchases by your immediate family or household. Such orders earn no Commission and repeated attempts are treated as fraud under §16.
- Offer cashback or rebates from your Commission to induce a purchase, without our prior written consent.
- Bid on our brand terms. Run paid search, shopping or social ads targeting "MantraMani", "Mantra Mani", common misspellings, or our domain, in any ad network.
- Impersonate us. Use a domain, handle, page or profile name that a reasonable person could mistake for an official MantraMani account, or hold yourself out as our employee, spokesperson or authorised agent.
- Post your code to coupon, deal or cashback aggregator sites, or to any site whose primary purpose is distributing discount codes.
- Spam. Send unsolicited email, SMS or WhatsApp messages, or post your code into groups and comment sections where you are not an invited participant.
- Manipulate tracking. Use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframes, redirects, adware, browser extensions, bots, or any technique that sets a referral without a genuine informed click.
- Fabricate proof. Post fake reviews, invented testimonials, fabricated before/after results, or fake sales and follower numbers.
- Misrepresent price or availability, or advertise discounts, offers or products that we are not actually running.
- Denigrate our competitors, our customers, any faith or community, or publish content that is obscene, defamatory, discriminatory or unlawful.
- Publish our confidential information, including conversion rates, order data, customer details or commercial terms not stated on this page.
- Transfer your account, code or link to any other person, or operate more than one Partner account.
11. Mandatory disclosure
Every piece of content that carries your Referral Link or Partner Code is an advertisement, and you must disclose it. This is required by the ASCI Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media and is a condition of this agreement.
- Use a clear label: #ad, #sponsored, #collab, #partnership, or the platform's own paid-partnership tool.
- Place it upfront and prominently — visible without the viewer tapping "more", scrolling, or clicking through.
- In video, it must be superimposed and readable, not only spoken, and present long enough to be read (at least 3 seconds; for live content, at the start and periodically throughout).
- In stories and reels, it must be on screen for the full duration.
- In audio, it must be announced at the start and at the end.
- It must be in the same language as the content.
- Terms like "ambassador", "collab" or "partner" alone are acceptable only where the platform or guideline permits; when in doubt, use #ad.
Disclosure is required even where you received no free product, and even where you genuinely use and like the product.
12. Use of our brand
For the term of this agreement we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the MantraMani name, logo and the product images, videos and copy we supply in the Partner Kit, solely to promote our products under these Terms.
- Do not alter, recolour, distort, crop through, or add effects to our logo.
- Do not register any domain, social handle, business name or trade mark containing "MantraMani" or anything confusingly similar.
- Do not use our brand in a way that implies we endorse your astrological services, predictions or consultations.
- All goodwill in our marks accrues to us. This licence ends immediately on termination, and you must then remove our marks from your content and profiles within 7 days.
You retain ownership of content you create, and grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to repost, quote and reuse it in our own marketing, with attribution to you. Tell us in writing if you wish to withdraw this for a specific piece.
13. Confidentiality and data
You may receive information not publicly available — conversion data, upcoming launches, pricing plans, campaign performance. Keep it confidential and use it only for the Programme. This obligation survives termination by two years.
You have no right to customer data. We do not share customer names, contact details, addresses or order contents with Partners, and you must not attempt to obtain, harvest or infer them. Any personal data you do handle in connection with the Programme must be handled in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. If you build a marketing list from your promotion of MantraMani, it is your list and your legal responsibility, including consent and opt-out.
14. Independent contractor
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship. You have no authority to bind us, make representations on our behalf, accept orders or payments for us, resolve customer complaints, or hold yourself out as authorised to do so.
You are responsible for your own taxes, statutory registrations, insurance and business costs. You bear all costs of your promotional activity, and we do not reimburse advertising spend, production costs or time.
15. Term and termination
This agreement starts on our written acceptance and continues until terminated.
- You may terminate at any time, for any reason, by written notice to us. Your Approved Commission remains payable in the next cycle, subject to the minimum payout.
- We may terminate on 7 days' written notice for convenience, or immediately for breach of §9, §10, §11 or §16, or if we reasonably suspect fraud.
- We may also suspend, modify or discontinue the entire Programme on 30 days' notice. Commission already Approved at that point will be paid.
On termination your Referral Link and Partner Code stop working, and you must remove our branding and stop presenting yourself as a MantraMani Partner within 7 days.
Effect on unpaid Commission. On termination for convenience — by either side — Pending Commission on orders already placed continues to the normal approval cycle and is paid. On termination for breach or fraud, §16 applies.
16. Fraud and forfeiture
Where we determine, acting reasonably and on evidence, that you have engaged in fraud, tracking manipulation, systematic self-referral, fabricated content, or a serious or repeated breach of §9.2 (prohibited claims) or §11 (disclosure), we may:
(a) reverse all affected Commission; (b) withhold and forfeit your entire unpaid balance; (c) terminate immediately; (d) recover Commission already paid on fraudulent orders; and (e) pursue any other remedy available in law.
We will notify you in writing of the grounds and give you 10 days to respond before forfeiting a balance, except where we are required to act immediately to comply with law or a regulatory direction. Our determination, made in good faith after considering your response, is final for the purposes of this agreement.
17. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Programme is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant that tracking will be uninterrupted or error-free, that our website or checkout will always be available, that any particular level of earnings is achievable, or that any product will remain listed, priced or in stock.
No earnings representation is made. Any figures we mention are illustrative, not a projection or promise of your results.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with the Programme, in any 12-month period and on any basis whatsoever, is limited to the total Commission actually paid to you in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data or anticipated savings.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
18. Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold harmless MantraMani, its owners, officers and employees against all claims, proceedings, penalties, fines, damages, losses and reasonable legal costs arising out of: (a) your promotional content, including any claim that it is misleading, unlawful, defamatory or infringing; (b) your breach of §9.2, §10, §11 or §13; (c) any proceeding under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, or a direction of the Central Consumer Protection Authority or ASCI, arising from content you published; and (d) your breach of any tax or regulatory obligation of your own.
19. Changes to these terms
We may amend these Terms, including commission rates, tiers, cookie window and payout thresholds. We will give at least 15 days' notice of any change to commission rates or payout terms, by email to your registered address and by updating this page.
Changes are prospective only — Commission already accrued on orders placed before the change takes effect is calculated at the old rate. Continuing to promote after the effective date is acceptance of the change. If you do not accept, terminate under §15 and your accrued Commission will be paid normally.
20. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Kolkata, West Bengal have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with them.
Before commencing proceedings, both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by discussion for a period of 30 days from written notice of the dispute.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest continues in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
