Common questions

Things partners ask.

If your question isn't here, email partners@neria.ai — we respond within 1 business day.

Affiliate applications: usually 3-5 business days, often same-day if all KYC checks clear automatically. Reseller and Solutions Partner: 7-10 business days, includes a discovery call. Master Distributor and OEM: 21-45 days, includes founder-level meetings, commercial negotiation, and legal review.
Pick the closest match. During qualification review, we may suggest a different tier — typically a more conservative one for first-year partners (Affiliate or Reseller) with a documented pathway to upgrade based on performance. You're never locked in.
No fees for Affiliate, Reseller, Solutions Partner, or Master Distributor tiers. OEM partners pay a ₦15M annual platform fee covering dedicated infrastructure. All partners cover their own onboarding costs (training time, marketing localization, sales tooling).
Wave 1 partners (Nigeria) get first right of refusal on Wave 2 markets (Kenya, Ghana, South Africa) at preferential terms. Master Distributors can negotiate exclusive country rights at signing. OEM partners with multi-country footprint should select OEM at application — terms are bespoke.
Affiliate and Reseller: monthly, NET-15, paid in Naira to your registered Nigerian bank account. Solutions Partner: monthly recurring + quarterly implementation true-up, NET-30. Master Distributor: monthly recurring + quarterly sub-partner override reconciliation. All payments include FIRS-compliant invoice and 7.5% VAT handling.
No — we operate deal registration. First partner to register a customer in our portal owns the deal for 90 days. Conflicts are resolved by registration date and customer attribution. Full conflict matrix available in the Partner Playbook (issued at contract stage).
Sales training (live + recorded), demo environment access, marketing co-branded materials, technical pre-sales support, and a dedicated channel manager. Solutions Partners and above get a Solutions Engineer assigned, plus quarterly business reviews and product roadmap previews.
No penalties or clawbacks. We have an annual tier review where partners can move up or down based on actual performance. Reseller, Solutions Partner, and Master Distributor commitments are aspirational benchmarks — not contractual penalties. OEM minimum commitments are contractual, but we work in good faith on remediation plans before triggering any clauses.
