ChoEsim Referral Programme Terms

Version 1.1, effective 2026-11-13 (changes from 1.0: creators outside Vietnam are accepted and paid in USD by PayPal; clauses 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 5.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 17.1). Also available in Vietnamese. Programme overview: Referral programme.

These Terms apply between TECHWAY JOINT STOCK COMPANY ("ChoEsim", "we", "us"), operator of choesim.com, and the creator we accept into the programme ("you"). Contact: support@choesim.com, subject "Referral programme".

1. Definitions

1.1. Programme means the ChoEsim referral (affiliate) programme, in which ChoEsim pays a commission when a buyer orders after arriving through your link or code.

1.2. Referral Code is the code we give you. Referral Link is a ChoEsim web address carrying your code: https://choesim.com/?ref=CODE or the short link https://choesim.com/r/CODE.

1.3. Eligible Order means an order that was paid successfully through your Referral Link or Code and is not excluded under clause 4.4.

1.4. Net Value means the amount the buyer actually paid for the order, after discounts and after any refunds.

1.5. Commission means the percentage of the Net Value of an Eligible Order that we pay you. The rate is stated in the message in which we accept you and applies to orders paid after that message.

1.6. Creator Portal means the page at choesim.com/agent/ where you see your own figures.

2. Joining and eligibility

2.1. The Programme is open only to creators we accept, either in writing by email or through the online application after an automatic check. We may decline or stop inviting someone without detailed reasons. Applying costs nothing. The online application is currently for creators who live in Vietnam; creators who live elsewhere join by email to support@choesim.com (subject "Referral programme") and are accepted in writing.

2.2. You must be at least 18 years old. To verify your identity you provide your full name, the channels you will use and your payout details: if you live in Vietnam, your citizen ID or passport number, tax code (if you have one) and a bank account in your own name; if you live outside Vietnam, your country of residence and a PayPal account in your own name.

2.3. Creators who live in Vietnam and creators who live outside Vietnam are accepted. We may decline a creator in a country where we cannot pay lawfully or where PayPal cannot send the payout.

2.4. This is a referral programme. It is not an employment, representation or agency relationship. You decide your own content, timing and methods, you cannot act or make commitments on behalf of ChoEsim, and you may join other programmes.

2.5. One level only. You may not recruit other people to earn commission from their sales, and you earn nothing from people you refer into the Programme. Each person has one account.

2.6. You accept these Terms by ticking the acceptance box in the online application, or by replying to our acceptance email and quoting the version number. For an online application we record the version, the date and time, your verified email address and a hashed form of your IP address, and the welcome email we send serves as the acceptance message. For a reply by email we record the date, your email address and the version.

3.1. When a visitor opens your Referral Link, our website stores your code in a first-party cookie or local storage of that visitor's browser. If the visitor orders within 30 days of the last click, the order is attributed to your code. If they open links from several creators, the last link opened counts (last click).

3.2. Browser storage can be lost when a visitor clears data, changes device or uses private browsing. We do not guarantee that every order you believe you generated is recorded. Our system records are the basis for calculating commission, unless you show an error and we confirm it.

3.3. Commission is paid per order. There is no lifetime commission on a customer who later orders without your link or code.

3.4. You may not change your code once orders have come through it.

4. Commission

4.1. We pay a percentage of the Net Value of each Eligible Order. The rate is stated in your acceptance message and may be changed only under section 14. Rates are not published on the website.

4.2. Commission is paid only for real paid orders. We do not pay for clicks, sign-ups, views or promises, and the Programme has no prepayments, deposits or fixed fees. You pay nothing to take part.

4.3. Commission is calculated in USD, as our system records orders in USD, rounded down to the cent.

4.4. Orders without commission: orders you place yourself, or where the buyer's email is the same as yours; orders you place for friends, family or your own business to earn commission; orders that are cancelled or refunded; test orders or orders showing signs of fraud; orders not made through your link or code; and orders that breach section 9.

4.5. We do not promise any volume of orders or any income.

5. Hold and payout

5.1. Hold. Commission on an order becomes payable 30 days after the order was paid, and only if the order was not refunded. We may delay approval of an order that has a refund request or a fraud check pending.

5.2. Payout day. We pay once a month, on the 15th, all approved amounts of at least USD 10. An amount below USD 10 rolls over to the next month. A payout may be delayed while we verify information or an order.

5.3. Method. (a) If you live in Vietnam: bank transfer in Vietnamese dong to a bank account in your own name in Vietnam. The USD amount is converted at the ChoEsim system exchange rate on the payout day, and the rate is recorded on the payout. We bear domestic transfer fees. (b) If you live outside Vietnam: payment in USD through PayPal to a PayPal account in your own name. We pay PayPal's sending fee; any fee that PayPal or your bank charges you to receive, convert or withdraw the money is yours.

5.4. We may hold a payout if your payment details are incomplete, if a suspected breach is under review, or if the law requires it.

5.5. Programme ending. If the Programme ends or you leave, approved commission for orders already earned is still paid under this section. An approved amount below USD 10 is paid on your written request after the hold; if you do not request it within 12 months of our notice, it lapses.

6. Refunds and clawback

6.1. If an order is refunded in full, its commission is cancelled. If it is refunded in part, commission is recalculated on the remaining Net Value.

6.2. If an order is refunded after we have paid its commission, we may deduct the corresponding amount from your next payout, within 12 months of the payout. If you have no further payouts, we may ask you to repay it, but we do not claim an amount below USD 5 after the Programme has ended.

6.3. Refund decisions for buyers follow ChoEsim's Refund Policy and are ours alone. You may not promise refunds on ChoEsim's behalf.

7. Taxes

7.1. Commission is stated before tax. You are responsible for your own taxes on commission income, including declaring and paying them.

7.2. Where the law requires it, ChoEsim withholds personal income tax before paying you. For a creator without a registered business, this is currently 10% on a single payment of VND 5,000,000 or more. Below that amount we do not withhold unless you ask us to, or unless the law changes. We remit the tax for you and give you a withholding certificate on request.

7.3. A creator with a registered business is paid in full against an invoice or a commission statement, and declares tax on their own.

7.4. If you live in Vietnam, you provide your full name, citizen ID or tax code, business registration (if any) and a bank account in your name. We may delay payment until the information is complete.

7.5. If you live outside Vietnam, clauses 7.2 to 7.4 do not apply. You declare and pay the taxes of your own country on commission. If Vietnamese law requires ChoEsim to withhold tax on a payment to you, we withhold it, tell you the amount and give you a statement on request. You provide your full name, country of residence and PayPal account, and a tax number only where a law requires it.

8. Disclosure of the advertising relationship

8.1. Every piece of your content that promotes ChoEsim must state clearly in the first line (or within the first 3 seconds of a video, both spoken and as on-screen text) that you may earn a commission when viewers buy through your link or code, for example: "#ad · Affiliate link: I earn a commission if you buy through it." In Vietnamese: "Quảng cáo · Mình nhận hoa hồng nếu bạn mua qua link/mã này." You also use the platform's paid-partnership or ad label where available. For content that only mentions the code in a profile or bio, state the relationship clearly in that bio.

8.2. Do not place the disclosure only at the end of the content or behind a "see more" button, and do not hide or blur it.

8.3. You must not promote ChoEsim without having read the product information, and you must not assure coverage, speed or device compatibility beyond ChoEsim's own descriptions.

9. Content rules and prohibited conduct

9.1. Only say what is true. Do not claim "cheapest", "unlimited", "instant", refund guarantees, device compatibility, or specific networks or speeds unless ChoEsim has published them. Do not name ChoEsim's eSIM supplier or use its trademarks.

9.2. The following are prohibited and may lead to the measures in section 12:

9.3. You remove infringing or non-compliant content within 24 hours of a request from ChoEsim or a competent authority. You are responsible for your content, including compliance with platform rules and with the law where you publish.

10. Brand and content rights

10.1. You may use the name "ChoEsim" to refer to ChoEsim in your content. Do not create logos or visuals that could be mistaken for ChoEsim's identity. Any assets we provide are for this Programme only.

10.2. You keep the rights in your content. We may reuse it only under a separate written agreement stating the channel, period and territory.

10.3. Your content must not infringe the rights of others, such as music, images, clips or identifiable people.

11. Data and privacy

11.1. The Creator Portal shows only your own figures (orders, plan names, values, commission, status). Creators receive no customer data, and you must not try to learn the identity of buyers.

11.2. To record orders, our website stores your referral code in a first-party browser cookie or local storage, and counts link clicks without identifying people. See our Privacy Policy.

11.3. We process your own data (name, ID or passport number, tax code, channels, bank account, payout history) to run the Programme, pay you, meet legal obligations and handle violations. We keep identity and tax records for the period required by tax and accounting law.

12. Review, violations and voiding commission

12.1. We may review figures, orders and content to detect violations and may ask you for an explanation.

12.2. If we find a violation, we may ask you to correct it, suspend your account (new orders earn nothing), or terminate. We may void the commissions linked to the violation, and only those. You can object in writing within 14 days of our notice, and we will review your objection.

12.3. Commission voided for a violation is not paid.

13. Termination

13.1. You may leave at any time by email, and you then remove your link and code from your content.

13.2. We may end the Programme or your participation at any time by notice. Either side may terminate at any time. Commission for orders already earned is paid under section 5, unless voided under section 12. Orders placed after termination earn no commission.

13.3. Sections 6, 7, 11, 12, 15 and 16 continue after termination.

14. Changes

14.1. We may change these Terms and the rate that applies to you by email notice, effective for orders paid after the effective date. Orders already paid keep their rate.

14.2. If you disagree, you may leave under clause 13.1 before the change takes effect. Using your link or code after the effective date means you accept the change.

15. Liability

15.1. We do not guarantee that the Programme runs without interruption or errors, that every order is recorded, or any income. Buyer questions about products, delivery and refunds are handled by ChoEsim under its website terms.

15.2. You are responsible for loss that ChoEsim suffers directly because of your breach of these Terms or unlawful content.

15.3. ChoEsim's liability to you is limited to commission that was approved and is unpaid, except for wilful misconduct or fraud, or where the law does not permit such a limit.

16. Governing law and disputes

16.1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam.

16.2. The parties first negotiate in good faith for 30 days after one party gives written notice of a dispute. If the dispute is unresolved, the competent court at ChoEsim's registered seat decides it.

17. General

17.1. Language. These Terms exist in English and Vietnamese. If the two differ, the Vietnamese version prevails for creators who live in Vietnam and the English version prevails for creators who live outside Vietnam.

17.2. Entire agreement. These Terms and the acceptance message are the whole agreement on the Programme. If they conflict, the acceptance message prevails for your rate and personal details.

17.3. You may not assign your rights or obligations. A provision found invalid does not affect the rest.

17.4. Notices go by email to the address you registered, or through the Creator Portal. Our contact is support@choesim.com. Companies that want to buy eSIMs through an API should see the Partner API Terms.
