  • Per-kilogram rate: A commission rate based on the volume and type of cable waste material generated by the Referred Client. Rates are assessed individually and confirmed in writing prior to any payment being made. 
  • Onboarding bonus: Any promotional bonuses will only apply where expressly stated in writing at the time of the specific promotion. 
  • Trailing commissions: Per-kilogram commissions are paid monthly for a period of 12 months from the date of the Referred Client’s first collection. 

All commission rates are determined at JR Hammer’s discretion, based on material volumes, types, and collection frequency. Rates are subject to change at the conclusion of any agreed term, with 30 days written notice. 

5. Payment Terms 

Commission payments are made monthly via bank transfer, within 30 days of the end of each calendar month in which eligible collections occurred. Payments are conditional on: 

  • The Referred Client’s collections having been completed and invoiced 
  • JR Hammer having received payment from the Referred Client 
  • No outstanding disputes relating to the relevant collections 

JR Hammer reserves the right to withhold or adjust commission payments where collections involve contaminated, substandard, or disputed materials.
