If you do not agree to these terms, you may not participate in the Program.

2. Independent Contractor Status

Affiliate participates in the Program as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employer-employee relationship, agency relationship, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or other fiduciary relationship between Affiliate and the Company.

Affiliate has no authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the Company, incur obligations in the Company's name, or otherwise bind the Company.

3. Commission and Payment

Affiliate may earn a 20% commission on qualifying sales that are properly attributed to Affiliate through the Company's designated affiliate tracking system.

Commission eligibility, attribution, calculation, approval, and payment are determined by the Company based on its records and the applicable Program rules.

Trial Period Exception

No commission will be earned or paid on memberships, subscriptions, or purchases that are canceled, refunded, charged back, disputed, reversed, or otherwise voided during an applicable trial or refund period.

Where a seven (7) day trial applies, commissions become eligible only after the trial period has ended and the applicable customer payment remains valid and active.

The Company may withhold, reverse, offset, or revoke commissions arising from:

  • Refunds;
  • Chargebacks;
  • Payment disputes;
  • Fraud;
  • Duplicate or self-referrals;
  • Canceled subscriptions;
  • Improper marketing conduct;
  • Violation of this Agreement; or
  • Other transactions the Company reasonably determines are invalid or ineligible.

Commissions are considered earned only after they are approved by the Company in accordance with the Program rules. No payment obligation exists until the applicable commission has been approved and paid.

Affiliate agrees that Affiliate will not:

  • Make false, misleading, deceptive, or unsubstantiated claims about the Company, The Creative Trader, its products, services, educational programs, or customer results;

  • Use deceptive redirects, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, misleading claims, fake testimonials, or other manipulative attribution techniques;
  • Make unauthorized modifications to Company marketing materials in a manner that creates inaccurate or misleading claims; or
  • Violate applicable advertising, consumer-protection, privacy, messaging, or marketing laws.

FTC and Affiliate Disclosure Requirements

Affiliate must clearly and conspicuously disclose Affiliate's material connection to the Company whenever promoting Company products or services.

Affiliate disclosures should be placed close to the relevant recommendation, endorsement, promotional statement, or affiliate link and should clearly communicate that Affiliate may receive compensation if a customer makes a purchase.

Examples may include statements such as: "I may earn a commission if you purchase through my link."

SMS and Text Message Marketing

Participation in the Program does not authorize Affiliate to use the Company's A2P registration, messaging numbers, SMS opt-in data, or customer consent records.

Affiliate may not send SMS, MMS, or other text-message marketing using the Company's name, branding, offers, or affiliate links unless Affiliate independently complies with all applicable consent, registration, opt-out, carrier, and messaging requirements.

Affiliate may not obtain, use, purchase, transfer, or share Company customer opt-in information for affiliate marketing purposes.

Violation of this Section may result in immediate termination from the Program and forfeiture or reversal of unpaid commissions.

5. Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and Other Advertising Platforms

Affiliate may use Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, to promote Company offers only in compliance with applicable Meta advertising policies, this Agreement, and any Company advertising rules.

Unless expressly authorized in writing, Affiliate may not imply that the Company, The Creative Trader, any Company offer, or any affiliate promotion is sponsored, endorsed, approved, reviewed, certified, or otherwise affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook, Instagram, or any related Meta entity.

Affiliate is solely responsible for maintaining compliance with the advertising rules, account policies, content policies, disclosure requirements, and platform terms applicable to any advertising account Affiliate uses.

The Company is not responsible for ad account restrictions, suspensions, bans, disapprovals, reduced reach, platform enforcement actions, or advertising losses arising from Affiliate's advertising activity.

6. Intellectual Property

The Company grants Affiliate a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use approved Company trademarks, logos, affiliate links, and promotional materials solely for the purpose of promoting Company products and services in accordance with this Agreement.

All Company intellectual property remains the sole property of the Company or its applicable licensors.

Affiliate may not register or attempt to register any Company trademark, trade name, domain, social handle, or confusingly similar identifier.

Affiliate may not reverse-engineer, resell, distribute, reproduce, or create unauthorized derivative works from Company courses, software, indicators, materials, or other protected assets.

7. Affiliate Links and Tracking

Affiliate is responsible for using the affiliate links and tracking mechanisms supplied by the Company.

The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free affiliate tracking. Technical limitations, browser settings, cookies, attribution rules, user behavior, payment systems, or other factors may affect whether a referral is properly attributed.

The Company's tracking records will control commission attribution absent a clear error demonstrated to the Company's reasonable satisfaction.

The Company does not guarantee that Affiliate will generate traffic, referrals, sales, commissions, income, or profits through participation in the Program.
