Groto Referral Policy

Effective Date:

20 July 2025

Introduction

At Groto, we’ve always believed that our best work speaks through the people who trust us.
And now, we’re creating space for those relationships to grow - with a quiet, thoughtful referral system.

This isn’t a scheme.
It’s a way to thank the founders, teams, and operators who bring great ideas our way.

Here’s how it works:

If you refer someone who goes on to work with us, you get to pick one of the following:

  1. 10% Transferable Design Credit
    Use it on your next project with us, or give it to someone in your team/network.
    Think of it as paying good design forward.

  2. Custom UX Audit
    Our senior team reviews any product you’re building or advising. Fast, focused feedback.
    Sometimes, a second pair of eyes is all you need.

When can you redeem?

Standard flow - your 10 % credit/audit activates the day the referred project begins and stays valid for six (6) months.

Need it sooner? - ⚡ We understand sometimes your design needs can't wait - so if your referral is already in active, scope-aligned talks with us, we can apply your 10% credit early, provisionally.
If they don’t sign within 90 days, we’ll reverse that provisional credit by either:

  • adding it to your next invoice,

  • rolling it forward to future work, or

  • converting it into a UX audit of equal value.

(You get speed when you need it; we both stay financially safe.)

How to refer:

  1. Introduce us to someone in your network
    Know a founder, product head, or team that could use strong UI/UX? Just refer us directly to them - a quick intro over email or DM is perfect.

  2. Send us their contact
    Once you’ve made the intro, share the point of contact (POC) details with us so we can follow up personally.

  3. We take it from there
    Our team will connect with them, understand what they need, and if they start a project with us - that’s it.

  4. You get your thank-you
    Once the project begins, we’ll confirm the referral and you can pick your reward: a transferable design credit or a UX audit.

Why this exists:

We’ve worked with teams who move fast, think long-term, and value design that goes beyond aesthetics.
This is our way of keeping those conversations going - and making sure great design finds its way into great hands.

Welcome to the Groto Circle.
Let’s keep building, together.

Terms & Conditions

  1. Duration & Validity
    Referral credits remain valid for 6 months from the date they're issued.

  1. Repeated Referrals
    You can stack credits up to a maximum of 15% per project. Additional credits roll over to future projects.

  1. Early‑credit safety
    Any credit applied before the referred project signs is provisional. If they don’t sign within 90 days, it’s reversed (invoiced back, rolled forward, or converted to a UX audit).

  1. Conflict or Duplicate Referrals
    In case of multiple referrals, the referral reward will go to the first documented introduction we receive via email or DM.

  1. No Reward Swaps Once Started  
    Once your chosen reward is in motion (credit applied or audit scheduled), it can’t be changed.

  1. Groto reserves the right to verify referrals, alter referral rewards or policy terms, and resolve any disputes at its discretion.

Changes to the Referral Policy

We may update this referral policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page.
