2. AFFILIATE PROGRAM ENROLLMENT
2.1 Eligibility Requirements
To participate in the Affiliate Program, you must:
- Be at least 21 years of age;
- Possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement;
- Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations;
- Provide accurate and complete registration information;
- Maintain an active email address and respond to Company communications in a timely manner; and
- Not be located in a jurisdiction where participation in this program would violate local law.
2.2 Application and Approval
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to approve or reject any application to join the Affiliate Program, or to terminate any existing affiliate relationship, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Company may consider factors including but not limited to: the applicant’s website content, audience demographics, marketing methods, reputation, and compliance history.
2.3 Account Information
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
3. COMMISSION STRUCTURE AND LIFETIME EARNINGS
3.1 Commission Rate
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company will pay Affiliate a commission equal to five percent (5%) of the Net Sale Amount for each Qualifying Sale from any Attributed Customer.
3.2 Lifetime Commission Structure
Once a customer becomes an Attributed Customer, Affiliate will earn commissions on ALL future purchases made by that Attributed Customer for the entire duration of this Agreement, regardless of whether the Attributed Customer uses the Affiliate Link or Coupon Code for subsequent purchases.
This means:
- Affiliate earns 5% commission on the initial qualifying purchase;
- Affiliate earns 5% commission on every subsequent purchase made by that Attributed Customer;
- The Attributed Customer does not need to click the Affiliate Link or use the Coupon Code again after initial attribution;
- Commissions continue for the lifetime of the customer account, with no time limit or expiration; and
- There is no cap on total lifetime earnings per Attributed Customer.
CRITICAL: Lifetime Commissions are contingent upon Affiliate’s continued active participation in the program. ALL commissions, including all future Lifetime Commissions from previously Attributed Customers, immediately terminate upon any termination of this Agreement as described in Section 9.
3.3 Commission Calculation
Commissions are calculated as follows:
Commission = (Net Sale Amount) × 5%
Where Net Sale Amount = Total Purchase Price − Shipping Costs − Taxes − Discount Codes − Coupons (including Affiliate Coupon Code)
Example with Affiliate Coupon Code: If an Attributed Customer purchases $150 worth of products using the Affiliate’s 10% coupon code:
- Total Purchase Price Before Discount: $150.00
- 10% Affiliate Coupon Applied: −$15.00
- Subtotal After Discount: $135.00
- Company’s Shipping Cost: $15.00 (excluded from commission base)
- Net Sale Amount: $120.00
- Affiliate Commission (5%): $6.00
3.4 Dual Attribution System
Affiliate can attribute customers through two methods:
Method 1: Affiliate Link (30-Day Cookie)
- Customer clicks Affiliate’s unique tracking link;
- A 30-day cookie is placed in the customer’s browser;
- If the customer purchases within 30 days, they become an Attributed Customer;
- Last-click attribution applies (if customer clicks another affiliate’s link during the 30-day window, the last affiliate gets attribution).
Method 2: Affiliate Coupon Code (Permanent Attribution)
- Customer uses Affiliate’s unique Coupon Code at checkout;
- The customer immediately becomes an Attributed Customer;
- Coupon Code attribution works at ANY time, with no expiration;
- Even if the 30-day cookie has expired, using the Coupon Code still attributes the customer;
- Coupon Code provides 10% discount on the customer’s order.
Priority of Attribution
First-touch attribution wins. Once a customer becomes an Attributed Customer through either method, they are permanently assigned to that Affiliate. Subsequent use of a different affiliate’s link or coupon code will NOT change attribution. The original attributing Affiliate continues to earn commissions on all future purchases from that customer.
3.5 Excluded Transactions
The following transactions do not qualify for commissions:
- Purchases made by Affiliate for personal use (self-referrals);
- Purchases made by Affiliate’s immediate family members or household members;
- Fraudulent, incomplete, or cancelled orders;
- Orders that are returned, refunded, or charged back;
- Orders for which payment is not received or cleared;
- Orders placed using stolen payment information;
- Orders that violate Company’s Terms of Service;
- Shipping costs, taxes, fees, or surcharges;
- Any transaction that Company determines, in its sole discretion, was generated through Prohibited Activities; and
- Orders placed in jurisdictions where Company does not ship or where such transactions would violate applicable law.
