# {Company Name} Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions

_Effective date: 2026-04-23_

These terms govern participation in the {Company Name} Affiliate Program ("Program") operated by {Company Name} ("we", "us") and accessed via {https://example.com}. By enrolling in the Program, you ("Affiliate") agree to these terms.

## 1. Enrolment

To join the Program, Affiliate must submit an application through our affiliate portal. We reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion, and to remove an Affiliate at any time for breach of these terms.

## 2. Commission

Affiliates earn 30% of the net sale amount (excluding taxes, shipping and refunds) on every qualifying sale they refer. For subscription products, commission is paid on every successful billing cycle for 12 months from the original referral, unless otherwise noted.

A "qualifying sale" is a paid order that (i) is attributed to the Affiliate's referral link within the attribution window defined in Section 3, (ii) is not refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed, and (iii) complies with these terms.

## 3. Attribution Window

We use cookie-based, last-click attribution with a 60-day cookie window. If a customer clicks multiple affiliate links within the window, the most recent click at the time of purchase is credited.

## 4. Payouts

- **Minimum payout:** USD 50. Commissions below this threshold carry over to the next payout cycle.
- **Method:** Stripe Connect (automated).
- **Schedule:** Net-30 (paid 30 days after commission earned).
- **Refund clawback:** Commissions on orders that are refunded, charged back, or cancelled are reversed from the Affiliate's balance.

## 5. Promotion Rules

Affiliate agrees to promote {Company Name} in a manner consistent with applicable law and the following rules.

### Prohibited promotion methods

1. Bidding on our brand or trademark keywords in paid search.
2. Browser extensions or toolbars that inject affiliate codes on unrelated sites.
3. Unsolicited email, SMS or social DMs ("spam") that mention the affiliate link.
4. Paid, bot or incentivised traffic (PTC sites, click farms, rewarded views).
5. Misleading ads that impersonate our brand or make unapproved claims.
6. Self-referral or purchasing through your own affiliate link.
7. Posting active coupon codes on public coupon-aggregator sites without written approval.

### Self-referral

Affiliates may not earn commissions on their own purchases. Any self-referral is void and will be reversed.

### Disclosure

Affiliate must clearly disclose their affiliate relationship with {Company Name} in every piece of promotional content, in line with local laws (e.g. FTC 16 CFR § 255 in the US, ASA CAP Code in the UK).

## 6. Intellectual Property

We grant Affiliate a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use {Company Name}'s name, logos and approved marketing assets solely to promote the Program. All rights remain with {Company Name}. Affiliate may not modify the assets or imply endorsement beyond what the Program actually provides.

## 7. Term & Termination

These terms take effect when Affiliate joins the Program and continue until terminated. Either party may terminate by providing 30 days' written notice. We may terminate immediately without notice for breach of these terms, fraud, or reputational harm.

On termination:
- Affiliate's tracking links are deactivated.
- Commissions earned on qualifying sales before termination remain payable subject to Section 4.
- Commissions on fraudulent, reversed or clawed-back orders are forfeited.

## 8. Confidentiality & Data Protection

Affiliate must not share confidential information shared by {Company Name}, including non-public roadmaps, pricing, customer data or program performance data. Affiliate handles any personal data received through the Program in compliance with applicable data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and our Privacy Policy.

## 9. Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

The Program is provided "as is" without warranty. {Company Name} is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of the Program. Total liability in any 12-month period is capped at the total commissions paid to the Affiliate in that period.

## 10. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to active Affiliates at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued participation after that date constitutes acceptance.

## 11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of {State / Country}, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the courts of {State / Country}.
