Affiliate Terms

These Affiliate Terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name] and apply on top of our Terms of Use. The program is currently by invitation. By accepting an invite you agree to these terms.

You are an independent contractor, not our employee, agent or partner. You may not make promises or commitments on our behalf.

• You earn 50% of net revenue from customers you refer, for the lifetime of the customer: their first purchase, later purchases and subscription renewals.
• Net revenue is what the customer paid, minus payment processing fees, refunds, chargebacks and taxes we collect.
• We may set a different rate for an individual affiliate in writing; your dashboard shows the rate that applies to you.

• A customer is referred by you when they click your link and then sign up or buy within 60 days. If they click several affiliates' links, the last click wins.
• Once a customer is attributed to you, later purchases stay with you; another affiliate's link can't take them over.
• Attribution uses a first-party cookie. If the customer blocks cookies or uses another device, we may not be able to credit you. Our records are final, but tell us if you think something was missed and we will look.

• Each commission stays pending for 30 days so refunds can come through, then it becomes payable.
• Payouts are made monthly through Stripe Connect to the bank account you connect, once your payable balance is at least $25. Smaller balances roll over to the next month.
• You must complete Stripe's onboarding (identity and tax details) to be paid. Stripe may issue tax forms such as a 1099. You are responsible for your own taxes.

If a payment you earned commission on is refunded, charged back or found to be fraudulent, the commission is reversed. If it was already paid, the amount is deducted from your future commissions. We may also reverse commission earned in breach of these terms.

You must not:

• Self-refer: earn commission on your own purchases, on accounts you control, or on people you pay to sign up.
• Bid on our brand: bid on “Paystub.biz”, misspellings or variations in paid search, use them in domain names, social handles or app names, or imitate our site.
• Spam: send unsolicited email, messages or comments, or use any method that breaks anti-spam law or platform rules.
• Mislead: make false or unapproved claims, invent discounts, or present yourself as us. In particular, never promote our documents as a way to show income that wasn't paid, or as “proof of income” to deceive a lender, landlord or agency.
• Use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden iframes or other tricks to collect attribution.

You must clearly disclose that you earn a commission, as required by the FTC Endorsement Guides and similar rules where your audience lives.

We give you a limited, revocable licence to use our name and the materials we provide only to promote the Service under these terms. Don't alter our logo or suggest we endorse you beyond being an affiliate.

Either side can end participation at any time. We may change the program, including rates for future sales, with notice on your dashboard or by email; changes don't affect commission already earned.

If you leave, or we end your participation for reasons other than a breach, we pay commission that has cleared the hold period and meets the minimum. If you break these terms, we may end your participation immediately and withhold unpaid commission connected to the breach.

The disclaimers and limitation of liability in our Terms of Use apply. Our total liability to you under these terms is limited to the commission paid or payable to you in the 12 months before the claim. These terms are governed by the laws of [State].
