1. What a Discoverer is
A Discoverer is a hand-picked member of the Sarisara Lanka community who introduces genuine local experts (artisans, cooks, guides, performers) to our platform. Membership is by invitation from Sarisara Lanka only.
2. Your account
Your Discoverer account is personal to you. It gives you a username, an earnings dashboard and your payout details. It does not give you access to, or any control over, the local expert's listing, account or earnings: the expert owns their listing and their banking entirely.
3. What you earn
When a listing you introduced is booked and the tour is completed, you earn a commission of 8% of that listing's booking value. This applies to the first 30 completed bookings of each listing. Cancelled or refunded bookings do not earn a commission.
4. How you are paid
Your earnings are paid on Sarisara Lanka's regular monthly pay date, using the payout details on your dashboard. If no payout details are set, your earnings are held until you add them.
5. What we expect from you
- Submissions must be truthful: a real place, a real person, your own genuine video.
- Get the local expert's agreement before you submit them.
- Your identity documents are used only to verify who you are; they are visible to Sarisara Lanka administrators only and are never shared.
- Never request payment or personal information from a local expert or a traveller directly.
6. Ending membership
Sarisara Lanka may suspend or remove a Discoverer account for fraudulent submissions, misrepresentation, or conduct that harms travellers, local experts or the platform. Earned, unpaid commissions on genuine bookings are still paid out.
7. Changes
We may update these terms as the programme grows. Meaningful changes will be announced to Discoverers by email.
These terms sit alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
