Earn Without Doing The Work
Refer clients to XAD's mobile detailing network and earn a flat referral fee on every completed booking — no employees, no equipment, no liability. A transparent, law-compliant referral arrangement where every attribution is tracked, confirmed, and auditable.
The Model
What Is An XAD Distribution Partner?
A Distribution Partner is an independent business or individual who refers paying clients to XAD in exchange for a flat referral fee per completed job. You own the audience. We own the operation. You earn on every booking that closes — and you can verify every one.
Pure Referral Model
You refer a client — in person, online, via your audience, or through a business relationship. XAD handles booking, execution, invoicing, and quality. You earn your fee when the job is completed and payment is collected.
Independent Arrangement
This is a business-to-business referral agreement, not employment. You operate independently under the Common Law of Contract (Canada). You control your methods, your audience, and your promotional approach entirely.
Transparent Fee Structure
Flat fees per job type — fixed amounts confirmed in your signed Distribution Partner Agreement. They do not change without 30 days written notice and your consent.
GTA Coverage
Referrals accepted from across the Greater Toronto Area — Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Vaughan, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, and surrounding zones.
No Equipment. No Liability.
Distribution Partners own no equipment, employ no staff, and bear no service delivery risk. Your obligation is the referral. XAD bears all operational and quality obligations for every job executed.
Every Referral Confirmed
When your referral books and the job closes, you receive a written completion confirmation from XAD simultaneously with internal records. Your attribution is never in question.
Mutual Trust Framework
How We Both Know — And Prove — Every Referral
Trust in a referral arrangement isn't a feeling — it's a system. XAD's attribution model is built so that neither party ever needs to take the other's word for it. Every referral is timestamped, logged, and independently verifiable by both sides from the moment it is submitted.
How XAD And You Both Know — On Record
Trust in a referral arrangement is not a feeling — it is a paper trail. XAD's attribution process creates two independent timestamped records before a job ever closes, so neither party needs to rely on the other's memory or goodwill. Everything is verifiable.
Send A Quick Email Before Or When You Refer
When you send a client to XAD, email help@xcelautodetailing.ca with the client's name and what service they are interested in. That email is timestamped in your sent folder and in XAD's inbox simultaneously — creating an independent record on your side before the job is even booked. One sentence is enough: "Sending you Jane Smith — interested in a ceramic coating."
Your Referred Client Mentions You When They Contact XAD
When your client reaches out to XAD — by phone, email, or booking form — they state your name or business as their referral source. XAD records this at intake against the client file. Combined with your email from Method 01, both parties hold an independent record of the same referral. When the job closes, XAD emails you a written Job Completion Confirmation — your record that the fee has been triggered.
Your Audit Rights — Contractual & Law-Referenced
Your Distribution Partner Agreement includes an explicit Audit Rights clause. Once per 90-day period, you may email help@xcelautodetailing.ca to request a written Referral Attribution Summary showing all jobs attributed to you — including job reference numbers, completion dates, fees triggered, and payment status. XAD must respond within 10 business days. Failure to provide an accurate summary constitutes a material breach of the agreement, reinforced by the Duty of Honest Performance in Bhasin v. Hrynew, 2014 SCC 71.
If A Dispute Ever Arises
Email help@xcelautodetailing.ca with the client's name, the date you sent your referral email, and the service booked. XAD responds in writing within 5 business days. Your sent email timestamp and XAD's client intake record are both admissible evidence. If unresolved within 30 days, either party may initiate binding arbitration in Mississauga, Ontario. The process is designed so disputes are rare — and straightforward when they arise.

The Process
From Referral To Payout — Every Step
A clean five-step process from referral submission to fee payment. No ambiguity, no discretionary holds, no chasing invoices.
You Email XAD
Send a quick email to help@xcelautodetailing.ca with the client's name and service interest. This timestamps your attribution record the moment you send it — before any booking occurs.
Client Contacts XAD & Books
Your referred client reaches out to XAD and mentions your name at intake. XAD records this against their file. Your email and their declaration are now two independent matching records.
XAD Executes The Job
XAD handles all scheduling, execution, and quality. You have zero operational involvement from this point forward.
You Receive Completion Confirmation
When the job closes and payment is collected, XAD emails you a written Job Completion Confirmation stating the client, service, date, and referral fee triggered.
You Invoice & Get Paid
Reply to the confirmation with your invoice referencing the job number. XAD processes EFT payment within 14 business days. No chasing, no ambiguity.
Legal & Compliance Framework
Ontario & Canadian Law — What Governs This Arrangement
XAD publishes its full legal framework openly. Every Distribution Partner Agreement is governed by Ontario and Canadian law. Below are the specific statutes and case law that apply — and what they mean for you.
XAD Distribution Partner Agreement — Legal Basis
The Distribution Partner Agreement is a commercial referral contract governed by the Common Law of Contract (Canada), the Province of Ontario, and applicable federal statutes. It establishes the parties as independent contracting businesses — not employer and employee — and documents the referral fee structure, attribution system, audit rights, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, privacy compliance, and termination provisions.

What The Distribution Partner Agreement Covers
Attribution, Audit Rights & Dispute Resolution+
Audit rights: Once per 90-day period, you may submit a written request to help@xcelautodetailing.ca for a Referral Attribution Ledger covering any specified 90-day window. XAD must provide the ledger within 10 business days. The ledger will show all bookings attributed to your partner code, job reference numbers, completion dates, fees triggered, and payment status.
Dispute process:
- Step 1 — Submit written attribution dispute with supporting evidence (referral log timestamp, client intake date, partner code)
- Step 2 — XAD responds in writing within 5 business days
