LET US KNOW YOUR EVENT COST
05 · Paid promo slot
One paid event.
A LINK post or story on your society's socials comes with the partnership, no invoice. The paid slot is the event: LINK promoted at one of yours (stall, shout-out, sticker drop, whatever fits). One off, fixed fee. Tell us your cost for that.
Signup = a real York student who verifies their york.ac.uk email and creates a profile using your code.

The small print
Only verified york.ac.uk / students.york.ac.uk accounts count. Fake, duplicate or dead-on-arrival accounts are removed and don't earn.
Attribution lasts 12 months from each user's signup, then stops.
"Net revenue" means what LINK actually receives after Apple/Google's cut and refunds.
Finder's fee is paid once the new society is signed up and has 25+ verified users.
Promo slots are one-off, agreed in writing before they run, and paid on completion.
Top society bonus requires 50+ attributed users at year end. One winner. Ties split it.
