Authority Declaration: What You Need to Know

The authority declaration is a required step when creating a Business Account with a domain.

What is an Authority Declaration?

An authority declaration is your confirmation that you have the legal authority to:

• Set up a business account on Refer2u
• Act on behalf of the company
• Invite team members and manage access

Why is it Required?

Similar to authorising access to Microsoft 365 or other business services, the authority declaration:

• Protects companies from unauthorised account creation
• Ensures only authorised personnel can set up business accounts
• Helps prevent duplicate accounts
• Provides a basis for dispute resolution

Who Can Make the Declaration?

You should only make an authority declaration if you are:

• A company owner or co-founder
• An authorised employee (e.g., IT administrator, operations manager)
• Someone with explicit permission from company leadership

What Happens After Declaration?

• Your account is created
• Authority may be verified by Refer2u administrators
• You become the account owner
• You can invite team members

Important Notes

• Making a false authority declaration may result in account suspension
• If you're unsure about your authority, check with company leadership
• Disputes can be raised if someone believes an account was created without proper authority
