Nexthor Compensation Plan

The Nexthor Compensation Plan defines how commissions are earned by Pilots and Scouts in the Nexthor Partner Network. The plan is built on three core principles:

• Per roll. Commission is paid per PPF roll sold, regardless of roll length, finish, or color.
• Lifetime. Commissions are earned for the entire lifetime of the relationship — every future roll a downstream studio orders generates commission for the upstream partner, indefinitely.
• Three levels deep. Each partner earns from up to three downstream levels of activity in their network.

This plan is a Policy document. It does not create an employment relationship, agency, or partnership between Nexthor PPF and any partner. Nexthor PPF may update this plan at any time subject to the notice requirements in Section 13. The current version is the only operative version.

All Pilots and Scouts must operate as registered business entities. Specifically:

• Every Pilot and Scout must hold a valid živnosť (trade licence) or equivalent legal business registration (IČO) in their country of residence.
• Nexthor PPF pays commissions exclusively against a valid invoice issued by the partner's registered business entity. No invoice, no payment.
• No employment relationship, agency relationship, or partnership of any kind exists between Nexthor PPF and any Pilot or Scout. Partners are independent contractors operating their own businesses.
• Partners are solely responsible for all applicable tax, VAT, social insurance, and business registration obligations in their jurisdiction.

Failure to maintain valid business registration or to provide a valid invoice on request is grounds for suspension of commission payouts until compliance is restored. Nexthor PPF is not liable for any tax or social contribution obligations of its partners.

Commissions are paid per PPF roll, regardless of length, finish, or color. The standard rates apply when a studio purchases PPF at the standard published partner price:

• Level 1: €100 per roll — paid to the partner who directly signed the purchasing studio
• Level 2: €30 per roll — paid to the partner one level above in the network
• Level 3: €15 per roll — paid to the partner two levels above in the network

The current standard published partner prices are: Transparent PPF €1,099 per roll; Color PPF €1,299 per roll; Special Effect PPF €1,399 per roll. These prices are set by Nexthor PPF and may be updated from time to time. Standard commission rates apply only at these prices.

Important: Where a studio purchases PPF at any price below the standard published partner price — whether through a volume arrangement, promotional deal, or any other special agreement with Nexthor — the fixed per-roll commission rates above do not automatically apply. Section 5 governs commission in those cases.

When Nexthor PPF directly acquires a studio lead through its own marketing, advertising, or outreach — and subsequently assigns that lead to a Pilot for closing or account management — the commission structure shifts by one level:

• Level 1 (€100/roll): Retained by Nexthor PPF. Nexthor invested in lead acquisition and occupies the first network position.
• Level 2 (€30/roll): Paid to the assigned Pilot. The Pilot closes the deal and manages the ongoing account relationship.
• Level 3 (€15/roll): Paid to the Pilot's upstream partner, if any.

Nexthor PPF may also assign leads to Scout partners at its sole discretion. The same level-shift logic applies to Scout-assigned leads.

Nexthor PPF will not assign leads to Pilots in Passive status (see Section 7). Assignment is reserved for Active Pilots only.

If a Nexthor-assigned studio later generates its own referrals, those referrals enter the network normally — the assigned studio occupies Level 1 for its own referrals, and commissions flow upward from there.

Example: Nexthor acquires Studio D through digital advertising and assigns Active Pilot Marek to close it. Studio D orders 5 rolls. Nexthor retains 5 × €100 = €500. Marek earns 5 × €30 = €150. Marek's upstream sponsor earns 5 × €15 = €75.

From time to time, Nexthor PPF may agree special pricing with a studio — typically in exchange for higher order volumes, long-term commitments, or strategic considerations. This section applies equally to all upstream partners, whether Pilot or Scout.

When special pricing applies

Where a studio purchases PPF at any price below the current standard published partner price, the studio is operating under a special pricing arrangement. The fixed per-roll commission rates (€100 / €30 / €15) do not apply to orders placed under special pricing.

Commission under special pricing

When special pricing is in effect for a studio, the upstream partner's commission is replaced by a percentage-based commission agreed individually between Nexthor PPF and the relevant upstream partner(s). The following rules apply:

• The applicable percentage is determined by Nexthor PPF at its sole discretion. There is no guaranteed minimum percentage for any partner.
• Nexthor PPF reserves the right to set the percentage at zero if no agreement is reached with the upstream partner before the special pricing takes effect.
• The agreed percentage is documented in a written Special Commission Deal signed before the special pricing arrangement begins.
• Different percentage rates may be set for different upstream partners in the same network chain, reflecting their respective positions and contributions.

Existing studios moving to special pricing

If a studio that previously purchased at standard partner prices subsequently negotiates a lower price with Nexthor PPF, the upstream partner's fixed commission entitlement (€100 / €30 / €15) is replaced by the percentage arrangement from the date the special pricing takes effect. Upstream partners will be notified in writing at least 14 days before the change applies.

Scout partners and special pricing

Scouts are subject to the same rules as Pilots under this section. A Scout who introduced a studio to Nexthor has no guaranteed right to receive €100 per roll in perpetuity. If that studio negotiates special pricing with Nexthor, the Scout's commission adjusts to the agreed percentage. The Scout has no right to veto, block, or delay a special pricing arrangement between Nexthor and a studio. The Scout's fixed commission (€100/roll) applies only for as long as the studio purchases at standard published partner prices.

Transparency

Upstream partners affected by a special pricing arrangement will be informed of the existence of the arrangement and their applicable commission percentage before the arrangement takes effect. The specific unit price negotiated with the studio is commercially confidential and will not be disclosed to upstream partners.

The following example illustrates how commissions flow through three levels under standard pricing:

Pilot Marek's self-acquired network

Marek prospects and closes Studio A (PPF Bratislava). Studio A is a direct Level 1 relationship under Marek.

▸ Studio A orders 5 rolls at standard price — Marek earns: 5 × €100 = €500

Studio A refers Studio B (Extreme Senec). Studio B is Level 1 under Studio A, and Level 2 under Marek.

▸ Studio B orders 5 rolls at standard price — Studio A earns: €500 — Marek earns: 5 × €30 = €150

Studio B refers Studio C (Top Galanta PPF). Studio C is Level 1 under Studio B, Level 2 under Studio A, Level 3 under Marek.

▸ Studio C orders 5 rolls at standard price — Studio B earns: €500 — Studio A earns: €150 — Marek earns: 5 × €15 = €75

Total earned by Marek from this branch: €725 from 15 rolls across three studios. Commissions continue for every future order at standard pricing, for life. If any studio in the chain moves to special pricing, Section 5 applies to that studio's orders from that date forward.

To maintain full Level 1, 2, and 3 commission eligibility, an Active Pilot must demonstrate qualifying activity at least once per rolling 12-month period. Qualifying activity is defined as any one of the following:

• Independently closing and signing a new studio to the Nexthor Partner Network
• Attending a Nexthor-assigned studio visit or sales meeting on behalf of Nexthor
• Submitting three or more qualifying visit reports documenting studio visits, prospecting efforts, or market development activity
• Any other activity that Nexthor PPF expressly confirms in writing as satisfying the requirement for that period

Inactivity and suspension of Level 2 and Level 3 commissions

If a Pilot fails to satisfy any activity criterion within a 12-month period, Nexthor PPF reserves the right — exercised at its sole discretion — to suspend the Pilot's Level 2 and Level 3 commission entitlements. Upon suspension:

• The Pilot continues to earn Level 1 commissions (€100/roll) from studios they directly signed, indefinitely and without any activity requirement.
• Level 2 and Level 3 commissions from downstream network activity are suspended for as long as the Pilot remains inactive.
• The studios and partners in the Pilot's downstream network are not affected. Their own commission entitlements continue unchanged.

Nexthor PPF will make reasonable efforts to notify the Pilot of impending inactivity before exercising the suspension right, but is not obligated to provide a formal warning period.

Passive Pilot status

A Pilot transitions to Passive status in either of the following circumstances:

• Voluntary: The Pilot submits a written request to transition to Passive status (for example, due to retirement, career change, or health reasons).
• Involuntary: Nexthor PPF exercises its right to suspend Level 2 and Level 3 commissions following a period of inactivity.

In Passive status, the Pilot:

• Earns Level 1 commissions only, from studios they directly signed, for life and without activity requirements.
• May not actively prospect, recruit new studios, or represent Nexthor PPF in the territory in a sales or business development capacity.
• Is not eligible to receive Nexthor-assigned leads.
• Cannot return to Active Pilot status without Nexthor PPF's express written consent.

The downstream network of a Passive Pilot continues to operate independently. Studios and partners below the Passive Pilot earn their commissions normally. The Passive Pilot earns Level 1 only from their own direct studios.

Scouts earn commissions using the same per-roll rates as Active Pilots, applied to their own network at standard pricing:

• Level 1: €100 per roll — from studios the Scout directly introduced to Nexthor
• Level 2: €30 per roll — from studios one level below in the Scout's network
• Level 3: €15 per roll — from studios two levels below in the Scout's network

Scouts have no activity requirements. Commission entitlements at all three levels are maintained for life without any obligation to prospect, recruit, or demonstrate ongoing sales activity.

Special pricing — Scouts have no guaranteed fixed rate

Scout commissions at the rates above apply only for as long as the relevant studio purchases PPF at the standard published partner price. If a studio in a Scout's network negotiates special pricing with Nexthor PPF, the Scout's commission on that studio's orders is governed by Section 5 — the fixed €100/€30/€15 rates are replaced by a percentage agreed with Nexthor. The Scout has no right to block or prevent a special pricing arrangement, and has no entitlement to any minimum percentage. See Section 5 for full details.

Nexthor-assigned leads

Scouts may receive Nexthor-assigned leads at Nexthor's sole discretion, subject to the level-shift rules described in Section 4.

For the full scope of permitted Scout activity in the field, see the Code of Conduct and Territorial and Authority Rules policies.

Commission status progresses through three states:

Pending

When a studio's order is placed, a commission record is created in the partner's account in pending status. No payment is available at this stage.

Earned

Commission moves to earned status when both of the following conditions are met:

• The studio's payment is fully confirmed and received by Nexthor PPF with no outstanding chargebacks or payment holds, AND
• The order has been dispatched by Nexthor PPF (or in the case of studio pickup, marked as fulfilled).

Once both conditions are satisfied, the commission is visible in the partner's available balance — but remains subject to the 60-day clawback window described in Section 10.

Final

Commission becomes final and non-reversible 60 days after the order's payment was confirmed. Final commissions are permanently locked and cannot be clawed back regardless of subsequent customer disputes, except in cases of fraud or material breach as described in Section 10.

Nexthor PPF reserves the right to reverse (claw back) earned commissions in the following situations:

Refund or chargeback within 60 days

If a studio receives a refund or initiates a successful chargeback within 60 days of payment confirmation, the corresponding commission is reversed proportionally. The affected partner's balance is reduced by the clawback amount. If the available balance is insufficient to cover the full clawback, the deficit is deducted from future commissions until fully recovered.

Refund or chargeback after 60 days

Commissions that have reached final status (60 or more days after payment confirmation) are non-reversible. Even if Nexthor PPF subsequently refunds the studio after this window, the partner retains the commission already paid.

Fraud, misrepresentation, or material breach

Notwithstanding the 60-day rule, Nexthor PPF reserves the right to reverse any commission — at any time and regardless of status — if Nexthor reasonably determines the underlying transaction or partner relationship involved fraud, misrepresentation, or material breach of the Partner Agreement or any Nexthor policy.

Commissions on termination

If a partner's agreement is terminated for cause (including breach, fraud, or serious violation of Nexthor policies):

• Pending commissions (not yet earned or final) are forfeited upon termination.
• Final commissions (60-day clawback window passed and no fraud or breach involved) will be paid in the normal course. Nexthor PPF will not claw back final commissions solely on the basis of termination without cause.

Partners may request withdrawal of earned and final commissions at any time by contacting Nexthor PPF at partners@nexthorppf.com or through the Nexthor Member Portal when available.

Payout method

Bank transfer in EUR to the partner's registered bank account. SEPA transfers are standard within the Eurozone. International wires to non-SEPA accounts may incur bank fees that are deducted from the payout amount.

Invoice requirement

Each withdrawal requires a valid invoice issued by the partner's registered business entity (živnosť or IČO). The invoice must be addressed to Digital Bug s.r.o., IČO 54330483, Okružná 20, 058 01 Poprad, Slovakia. Payouts will not be processed without a valid, correctly addressed invoice.

Payout frequency

Withdrawals are on-demand. There is no automatic payment schedule. The partner initiates each withdrawal request by submitting a valid invoice to Nexthor PPF.

Payout processing time

Once a valid withdrawal request and correctly issued invoice are received, payouts are processed within up to 10 business days. Processing is suspended during weekends, Slovak public holidays, and any system maintenance windows announced in advance.

Minimum withdrawal

The minimum withdrawal amount is €250. If the partner's available balance is below this threshold, the balance carries forward until the minimum is reached. Nexthor PPF will not process partial payouts below this threshold.

Currency

All commissions and payouts are denominated in EUR. No currency conversion is performed by Nexthor PPF. Partners receiving payments to non-EUR accounts bear any exchange rate risk and conversion fees.

Tax responsibility

Partners are solely responsible for declaring all commission income to their local tax and social insurance authorities. Nexthor PPF does not withhold any tax at source. Upon request, Nexthor PPF will provide an annual commission statement for the partner's records.

If a partner believes a commission has been calculated incorrectly, the following process applies:

1. The partner must submit a written dispute by email to partners@nexthorppf.com within 30 days of the commission appearing in the partner's account record.
2. Nexthor PPF will acknowledge the dispute within 5 business days and investigate.
3. Nexthor PPF will provide a written response within 10 business days of acknowledgement.
4. If the dispute is upheld, the commission balance will be adjusted and the partner notified.
5. If the dispute is denied, Nexthor PPF will provide a written explanation of the calculation. The partner may escalate via the process described in the Conflict Resolution and Enforcement Policy.

Commission calculations not disputed within 30 days of appearing in the partner's account are deemed accepted by the partner and are final.

Nexthor PPF reserves the right to modify this Compensation Plan at any time, including but not limited to changes to:

• Commission rates per roll (currently €100 / €30 / €15)
• Number of compensation levels (currently three)
• Clawback window duration (currently 60 days)
• Payout processing times and minimum withdrawal threshold
• Pilot activity requirements and inactivity consequences
• Special pricing commission rules and procedures
• Standard published partner prices

Notice for material changes

Material changes — defined as changes that reduce standard commission rates, extend the clawback window, increase the minimum withdrawal threshold, or introduce new activity requirements for Pilots — will be communicated to all affected active partners at least 30 days before taking effect, by email and through the Member Portal.

Non-material changes — including clarifications, typographical corrections, structural reorganisation, and changes that do not reduce partner economic entitlements — may be made without advance notice.

Individual special pricing arrangements

Changes to an individual partner's Special Commission Deal (percentage rate for a specific studio) are governed by Section 5 and the 14-day notice requirement set out there, not by the 30-day material change notice above.

Vested commissions

Commissions already earned at the time of a Plan modification are paid according to the rules in effect when the underlying sale occurred. All future commissions follow the updated Plan from its effective date.

Continued participation in the Nexthor Partner Network after the effective date of any Plan update constitutes the partner's acceptance of the updated terms.
