Claude Partner Network Opportunity with IPSO FACTO

Consider joining our new Partnership.

List of benefits joining the IPSO FACTO Partnership

Free training on a wide range of Claude courses with access to additional resources within the partnership.
No risk, joining the partnership. Its mainly your time learning Claude and becoming certified which is going to help you in all aspects of your future.
This partnership will only accept those going through or have been through military resettlement.
You could join up with other affiliates in our partnership on larger projects or at the start of your journey to improve confidence.
I will conduct (Tim Whitaker) a rigorous marketing campaign alongside support from Anthropic (Claude).
When the partnership gets 10 qualified affiliates we then get greater access to more resources and support. (See diagram below)
When the partnership gets 100 qualified affiliates we then get even more access to resources and support and so on.
We already have a highly experienced sales executive to assist converting opportunities and increasing success rates.
Marketing will be focused on the LinkedIn platform.
There are opportunities to get additional payment from Claude for promoting your success on LinkedIn.
Every affiliate will be expected to assist in promoting all marketing activities from IPSO FACTO and Claude to raise the partnership profile. So you’ll need a LinkedIn account set up to complement your new Claude consultant status all in your own business name.

Individuals or groups less than 10 do not qualify for partnership benefits/resources.

My aims

Onboard 99% of military resettlement personnel. Higher standards and values, less risk to the partnership.
Encourage 20 people to join the program as an affiliate as soon as possible. The aim is to get at least 10 fully committed and qualified consultants by September 2026.
Get at least 10 additional people per month on average added to the partnership, going through their courses and certification.
Get 100 practicing qualified affiliates within 1 year gaining additional benefits to those qualified within the group.
Continue adding affiliates until we reach the upper level, with maximum benefits for all those qualified within the partnership.

I cannot take on those who are currently employed in the Military as an affiliate, but they can start their training program for free. Once out, they can join the partnership.

What does it cost you

The cost to you depends on whether you are referring to participating in the Claude Partner Network Program or the subscription fees for the Anthropic Services (like Claude Cowork) mentioned in the agreement.

Claude Partner Network Program Fees

The Claude Partner Network Agreement (CPNA), any fees required to participate in the program are specified in a separate document called the Partner Program Guide.

Trademark License: The license granted to you to display Anthropic Trademarks as a partner is royalty-free.
No Purchase Obligation: Participation in the program does not obligate you to purchase Anthropic’s products or services.
Liability Risk: While not a direct fee, the agreement sets a $50,000 aggregate liability cap for damages arising from the agreement (with certain exceptions for fraud or confidentiality breaches).

Subscription Costs for Claude Services

The agreement explicitly states that joining the partner program does not grant you free access to use, resell, or sublicense Anthropic Services; these are governed by a separate Customer Agreement. If you are using Claude Cowork, the costs based on current plans are:

Pro Plan: $17 per month with an annual subscription ($200 billed upfront) or $20 if billed monthly.
Max 5x Plan: $100 per month.
Max 20x Plan: $200 per month.
Team Plan: $20 per seat/month (for teams of 5 to 75).
Enterprise Plan: Included as part of the Enterprise plan (pricing typically requires contacting sales).

Important Cost Considerations

Taxes: The prices listed above do not include applicable taxes.
Usage Capacity: Using “agentic” tasks in Claude Cowork consumes your usage allocation faster than regular Chat because these tasks are more compute-intensive.
Modification: Anthropic reserves the right to change these plans and prices at its discretion.

What are the fees to use the partner program Euler

Euler is the AI-native Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platform and technology provider that powers the Claude Partner Network Hub, currently accessed by IPSO FACTO.

If you are referring to the fees to participate in the Claude Partner Network (which uses Euler as its portal), the requirements are as follows:

Free to Join: Membership in the Claude Partner Network has no upfront cost or membership fee; it is open to any organization bringing Claude to market.
No Commission Fees: Within the Euler platform, there are no fees for processing partner commissions or spiff payments, ensuring there are no delays or manual reconciliation headaches.
Royalty-Free Trademarks: The license granted to partners to display Anthropic Trademarks is royalty-free.
No Purchase Obligation: Participation in the program does not obligate you to purchase any of Anthropic’s products or services.

Potential Indirect Costs

While the program itself is free to join, there are significant operational and time investments required to maintain or advance your status:

Certification Costs: While training materials through Anthropic Academy are free, the Claude Certified Architect (CCA) exam may have associated costs. However, the first 5,000 partner employees receive early access to the certification at no cost.
Staffing Requirements: Advancing through tiers (Select, Preferred, Global Premier) requires a specific number of certified individuals (starting at 10 for Select), which necessitates paying employees for the time they spend on training.
Operational Effort: You are responsible for the time and effort needed for go-to-market activities, managing co-selling opportunities, and maintaining delivery capabilities.
Liability Cap: The agreement includes an aggregate liability limit of $50,000 for damages related to the program, which represents a potential legal risk/cost.

Any specific program fees that might apply to future sub-programs or projects would be detailed in the Partner Program Guide.

What are the benefits of joining the IPSO FACTO Partnership as an affiliate?

In the context of the Claude Partner Network, it is important to clarify that Anthropic does not offer a traditional commission-based “affiliate program” for external referrals. Instead, “Affiliates” refers to legal entities that are owned or controlled by your organization (under common control).

When your legal Affiliates participate in the program under your Claude Partner Network Agreement (CPNA), they gain access to a suite of benefits designed to accelerate their ability to deliver Claude-based solutions. These benefits are typically categorised as follows:

Market Visibility and Credibility

Partner Directory Listing: Qualified partners and their participating affiliates are listed in the Services Partner Directory. This gives them inbound visibility with enterprise buyers actively searching for Claude expertise.
Official Partner Badge: Affiliates can use the Claude Partner badge, which serves as a market signal that the firm has verified deployments and certified staff.

Revenue and Sales Growth (Co-Selling)

Co-Sell Access: This is considered the most valuable benefit. Anthropic’s enterprise sales team refers vetted partners to customers who need implementation support.
Deal Referrals: As affiliates move up tiers, they gain access to direct deal referrals and co-sell support on a deal-by-deal basis.
Joint Business Plans: For top-tier affiliates, Anthropic provides allocated co-sell support based on a Joint Business Plan (JBP) with named executive sponsors from both firms.

Technical and Training Resources

Anthropic Academy Access: Affiliates get free access to structured learning paths for architects, sales teams, and delivery staff.
Certification Priority: Participating employees get priority access to the Claude Certified Architect (CCA) credential, which validates their ability to ship production-grade systems.
Direct Technical Support: Anthropic provides dedicated Applied AI engineers for live customer deals and technical architects to help scope complex implementations.

Early Access and Development Tools

Early Product Access: Partners and their affiliates typically receive access to new Claude products and features 60–90 days before general availability.
Roadmap Briefings: They receive quarterly briefings on the product roadmap under NDA, allowing them to build capabilities ahead of market demand.
Sandbox Credits: Depending on the tier, affiliates can request non-production sandbox credits ($3,000 to $50,000 per year) to build demos and Proof of Concepts (POCs).

Management Infrastructure

Partner Portal (Euler): Affiliates gain access to the Claude Partner Hub, powered by Euler, to manage their participation, track tier requirements, and access sales playbooks and templates.
Always-on Assistant: They can use PAM AI, an always-on program assistant built on Claude, for real-time program guidance and tier visibility.

Important Legal Note: While your Affiliates enjoy these benefits, the primary partner remains fully liable for their actions, omissions, and compliance with the CPNA. Any breach by an Affiliate is legally considered a breach by your organization.

What defines an entity as a legal Affiliate

Under the Claude Partner Network Agreement (CPNA), a legal Affiliate is defined as any entity that, at any given time, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a specific party.

The definition hinges on the concept of “control,” which is defined as possessing the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity. This power of control can be established through various means, including:

Ownership: Through the ownership of voting securities.
Contract: Through specific contractual arrangements.
Other Means: Any other direct or indirect method that allows for the direction of that entity’s policies and management.

Within the context of the partner program, while your Affiliates are permitted to participate, you (as the primary signing entity) remain fully liable for their actions, omissions, and overall compliance with the CPNA. Any breach of the agreement by an Affiliate is legally treated as a breach by you.

The Claude Partner Network Agreement

The Claude Partner Network Agreement (CPNA) is a confidential legal contract governing participation in the Claude Partner Network Program. It defines the rights, responsibilities, and legal obligations for entities partnering with Anthropic to promote or support usage of Anthropic Services.

Below is a summary of the key components of the agreement:

Participation and Benefits

Eligibility: IPSO FACTO has become a Claude Partner, and has received written approval from Anthropic, and agree to the CPNA.
Affiliates: Partner affiliates may participate, but the primary partner IPSO FACTO remains fully liable for their actions and compliance.
Benefits: Anthropic may provide funding or other opportunities to support the promotion of Anthropic Services, though these are not guaranteed and can be changed or cancelled at Anthropic’s discretion.
Government Projects: Specific strict rules apply if a partner uses program benefits for Government Customer Projects, including requirements for independent financial benefits to the government entity and compliance with procurement and anti-bribery laws.

Conduct and Legal Compliance

Professionalism: Partners must conduct activities professionally and avoid deceptive practices.
Regulatory Compliance: Partners are strictly required to follow all Applicable Laws, including anti-bribery (e.g., U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), export controls (e.g., OFAC, ITAR), and the AI Diffusion Rule.
Reporting: Partners must immediately notify Anthropic of any legal investigations, security incidents involving Anthropic data (within 72 hours), or changes in status that would make their warranties inaccurate.

Intellectual Property and Confidentiality

Trademarks: Anthropic grants partners a limited, royalty-free license to display its trademarks solely for program participation, and partners grant Anthropic a similar license to use their materials.
Service Access: Participation in the program does not grant access to use, resell, or sublicense Anthropic Services; such access is governed by separate Customer Agreements.
Confidentiality: Both parties must protect non-public information shared during the program and destroy it upon request or termination.
Publicity: Partners cannot issue press releases about the program without Anthropic’s prior written consent.

Term, Termination, and Liability

Termination: Either party can terminate for convenience with 30 days’ notice. Anthropic may terminate immediately for reasons such as security risks, legal violations, or if the partner becomes a “Restricted Party”.
Liability Cap: Total aggregate liability for damages is generally limited to $50,000, with exceptions for fraud, willful misconduct, or breaches of confidentiality.
Indemnification: The agreement includes mutual indemnification for third-party claims related to intellectual property infringement or breaches of the CPNA.

Dispute Resolution

Process: Disputes must first be addressed through informal good-faith negotiations.
Arbitration: If unresolved after 45 days, disputes are settled via binding arbitration in San Francisco (or Dublin for partners in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland).

Modifications

Anthropic reserves the right to modify the CPNA or the Program Guide at any time. If a change is materially adverse, the partner’s sole remedy is to terminate the agreement
