At DevBoy, we are committed to providing flexible and innovative collaboration opportunities. This policy outlines the terms and conditions for projects completed on a commission basis instead of traditional monetary payment methods, including provisions for Shopify admin account management. This policy is designed to protect both parties, ensure transparency, and foster a successful partnership.
1. Agreement and Scope
Before starting any project, both parties must sign a formal agreement detailing:
- The specific tasks and deliverables to be completed.
- The agreed-upon commission percentage or structure.
- The timeline for project completion and payment reporting.
- The duration of the commission-based arrangement.
Any additional terms or modifications must be agreed upon in writing.
2. Shopify Admin Account Access
To ensure transparency and accurate commission calculations, the client agrees to temporarily transfer primary admin access of their Shopify store to DevBoy for the duration of the commission period.
During this time:
- DevBoy’s team will manage the account to monitor sales, revenue, and performance metrics directly.
- Admin access ensures accurate tracking of earnings, minimizes discrepancies, and upholds the integrity of the commission agreement.
Upon the completion of the commission period: - Full admin control of the Shopify store will be returned to the client.
- A final report of earnings and commissions will be provided for review.
Client Safeguards:
- DevBoy will not make any unauthorized changes to the store, its products, or its branding without prior consent.
- All activities will align with the agreed-upon deliverables and scope of the project.
3. Proof of Earnings and Transparency
Clients must provide additional access to any relevant financial and performance reports, including:
- Shopify dashboard analytics.
- Sales revenue and transaction history.
- Any supplementary financial records required to calculate commissions.
Reports must be shared on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, as outlined in the agreement.
4. Payment Terms
Commissions will be calculated based on net revenue, excluding:
- Refunds or chargebacks.
- Value Added Tax (VAT) or any other applicable taxes.
- Shipping or delivery costs.
Payments will be processed in Egyptian pounds (EGP) or another agreed-upon currency.
Payments must be completed within 7 days of receiving verified reports from DevBoy.
5. Minimum Guarantee
For projects requiring significant effort, resources, or time investment, a minimum guaranteed payment may be required. This amount will be negotiated and clearly stated in the agreement.
6. Termination of Agreement
Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days’ written notice, provided:
- All outstanding commissions are paid in full.
- All deliverables and access are properly handed over.
In the event of a policy violation or breach of trust, immediate termination may occur.
7. Fraud and Non-Compliance Clause
The following actions are strictly prohibited and considered violations of this policy:
- Misrepresentation of earnings or sales data.
- Deliberate withholding of payment or performance reports.
- Unauthorized attempts to revoke admin access during the commission period.

The location for arbitration will be determined as per mutual agreement.
