Sitekick affiliate agreement

Terms reference: sitekick-affiliate-v1. Policy revision: 1.

This document records the existing Sitekick affiliate policy for Sitekick CMS and Sitekick Studio only. It does not establish terms for other ProInstincts brands. Product availability and individual eligibility remain subject to the current Sitekick program decision.

Application and acceptance

Signing in creates affiliate access, not approval to participate. Request the products you want to promote and accept the current policy revision. Sitekick reviews the application. An administrator's decision does not substitute for your acceptance. A changed policy requires acceptance of the applicable current revision.

Referral attribution

The attribution window is 90 days under the last eligible click model. A referral requires consent, an approved affiliate, an eligible product and current accepted terms. An account, click or referral link alone does not establish a payable commission.

Commission

Self-referrals and invalid clicks do not qualify. Approval must apply at the eligible click and product signup. Attribution is fixed independently at each product signup; later clicks, re-login or re-subscription do not reset it. Existing product accounts are not retroactively attributed. Denied consent, blocked or deleted storage or a different browser/device can prevent attribution.

The commission rate is 25% of eligible verified subscription cash receipts after discounts and excluding tax and shipping. Provider fees do not reduce eligible cash. The earning window is 12 calendar months from each referred customer's first qualifying eligible cash payment for that product. An unpaid invoice is not cash received. Amounts are recorded in USD minor units. The commission on cumulative eligible cash rounds down to whole minor units; adjustments retain the original cumulative evidence.

Zero-dollar trials, credit-only or unpaid invoices, manually marked paid or out-of-band records, top-ups, services, unrelated purchases and unmapped subscription lines do not create commission or start an earning window. Credits and refunded amounts are excluded from eligible cash. An annual qualifying payment within the window earns on its eligible collected amount; renewals on or after the end do not. A refund can reverse its original award after the window ends; refunding the first payment does not restart the window.

Commissions have a 30-day hold. Refunds and lost disputes reduce the corresponding award; open or unverified dispute evidence may hold availability. Negative recovery is retained and offsets available earnings. A dashboard estimate is not proof of a completed payment.

Payout policy

The minimum is USD $50 per brand after negative recovery. Consolidated Parent payouts also require USD $50. The monthly cutoff is day 1 at 09:00 UTC. Payout approval expires after 7 days; a recipient change imposes a 48-hour hold. Meeting a threshold or cutoff does not establish that a payout was sent. Payout operation requires its separate verified provider, funding and recipient prerequisites.

Optional consolidation and negative balances

Consolidation is optional and requires an affiliate request plus independent brand and Parent approval. An approved transfer reassigns the corresponding affiliate liability; a ledger transfer alone does not establish real funding or a completed payout.

A brand-owned negative balance offsets that brand's future earnings. A Parent-owned negative balance offsets future funded earnings already consolidated to the same Parent affiliate account, including other contributing brands. It cannot debit balances still owned by independent brands or bypass their transfer approvals, and it does not debit your bank account. Only the current owner carries the recoverable balance. No future earnings means the negative balance remains outstanding; changing accounts or closing a program does not silently erase it.

Existing affiliates

An imported historical record is not a verified account claim, current acceptance or enrollment approval. Use the existing ownership-claim and acceptance process before using your new account's referral links. Historical balances and evidence remain separate from new earnings.
