AGENTS / PARTNER

 

Partner Status

●      By registering with the KO, you will achieve the status of travel partner (limited to registered Travel Agents with the online portal known as KO) post completion of your profile and verification.

 

●      Partner Status is limited to providing packages and services to customer travel enquiries received by them from KO. This partner status does not in any sense whatsoever give the registered travel agents a right, share, equity or any form of company partnership in the website (KO) or any of its affiliates owned by MTPOnline LLC.

 

●      Kashmir Online reserves the right to terminate your partner status without any prior notice as deemed fit by KO on the grounds of non-performance, non-involvement, uninterested behaviour, negative feedback, non-payment of commission and customer complaints.

 

Partner Commission

●      The partner/travel agents agree to hereby pay a commission of 7 per cent for packages below INR 50,000 (Fifty Thousand Rupees) and 10 per cent on packages above INR 50,000 (Fifty Thousand Rupees).

 

●      This commission is to be paid to KO directly by the Travel Agents/Partner through either Bank Deposit or PayPal.

 

●      Commissions are payable on confirmed bookings of travellers' enquiries provided by KO.

 

●      Commissions need to be paid on receipt of the booking amount from the customer. Non-payment of commission within the stipulated time will result in termination of the Partner status of the travel agents.

 

Partner Verification

Partner Verification is a mandatory step to complete your registration as a KO travel partner. This process involves 3-step.

 

1. Register at partners.kashmironline.com
2. Complete your profile
3. Upload any one of the verification documents (Aadhar Card, Travel Agency Registration or Pan Card)

 

The above steps do not guarantee acceptance into the Travel Partner Program of KO. KO will decide the sole decision of acceptance as a Travel Partner as deemed fit.

 

Partner Payments

All the payments related to the packages provided will be between you and the customer directly. KO does not assume any responsibility or liability concerning default of payment, non-payment, or any other concerns arising in this regard.

Partner Refund

KO will provide a full refund if the customer cancels his/her plan of travel or if he/she decides to go with another travel agent. However, a refund will not be provided due to the travel agent's inability to provide the promised package or service to the customer.
