AMS-IX Referral Program

Frequently our new members are referred to us by existing members or relations. AMS-IX highly appreciates these referrals since more parties at the exchange mean more peering opportunities, making the AMS-IX platform even more attractive to peer at.

To show our appreciation we have developed a referral program where parties can join to receive a (modest) bonus upon bringing in new members. You have to qualify upfront to be entitled to the referral bonus. If you qualify and want to join you can fill in the entry form to the referral program:

Referral program details

The AMS-IX referral program is aimed at parties that refer potential new members to AMS-IX. Those parties will receive a bonus for successful referrals. The one time bonuses due are the following:

• 10   Mb   EUR 150
• 100 Mb   EUR 300
• 1     Gb   EUR 700
• 10   Gb   EUR 1400

The referral is to be done before the actual customer entry form for membership application and connection is sent in by the new potential member. Once the entry form is actually sent in, AMS-IX manages the new member and connection as any regular new member application. After successful connection by the new member the bonus is due to the referring party. If more parties claim a referral, the bonus is due to the party that claimed the referral first. A referral cannot be done for your own port.

The program differs from our partner program. Partners are able to resell AMS-IX as if the AMS-IX service is part of their portfolio and have certain rights and obligations (customer relation management, billing and first line support, use of logo, receiving of leads, mentioned on website). Partners receive a higher bonus for their efforts. The referral program is more like “here is a new member, have fun” without any further commitment.

Requirements

• The referring party should be a legal entity
• The referring party is not a Partner or AMS-IX housing site (not eligible)
• The referring party should be willing to sign the Statement of Conduct for the referring program.
• Once joined, the referring party should enlist referrals beforehand. Please send an e-mail to marketing@ams-ix.net to claim the referral.
