Affiliate Terms
Effective date: 2026-09-11
These terms cover the LinkStack Affiliate Program, including attribution, recurring commission, payout rules, disclosures, and prohibited promotion.
1. Joining the Program
Any LinkStack account holder may join the LinkStack Affiliate Program without an application, audience minimum, or paid subscription. You join when you accept these Affiliate Terms and activate your referral link.
You must keep your LinkStack account in good standing and provide accurate payout information. Participation does not create an employment, agency, franchise, joint-venture, or exclusive relationship with LinkStack.
2. Qualified Referrals
A qualified referral begins when a visitor follows your valid LinkStack referral link. LinkStack uses first-qualified-affiliate attribution during the current anonymous referral window. Once the visitor creates a LinkStack account, that affiliate relationship is locked to the account and can continue across devices.
Anonymous tracking is browser-specific and is not guaranteed across devices, cleared cookies, privacy controls, blocked storage, malformed links, or other technical interruptions. LinkStack may make a documented attribution correction when credible evidence supports it, but corrections are exceptional and are not guaranteed.
Self-referrals do not qualify. You may not create, control, or coordinate related accounts for the primary purpose of manufacturing commissions.
3. Commission
The commission rate for a qualified referral is the rate shown when that referral is attributed. LinkStack offers recurring commission on eligible subscription revenue for the lifetime of the referred customer's active paid relationship with LinkStack.
LinkStack may change the default commission rate for future referrals. Existing qualified referrals keep the rate recorded when they were attributed unless a correction is required for fraud, error, refund, chargeback, or a separately agreed written arrangement.
Commission is calculated on subscription revenue LinkStack actually collects after discounts, credits, refunds, and chargebacks, excluding sales tax. Ordinary payment-processing fees are not subtracted before commission is calculated. Free, complimentary, fraudulent, disputed, and refunded transactions do not earn commission.
4. Holds, Refunds, and Adjustments
New commission remains pending for the hold period shown in the Affiliate dashboard, currently 30 days. A refund, chargeback, fraud finding, or billing correction may reduce or reverse pending commission.
If LinkStack has already paid commission that later becomes ineligible, the corresponding amount may be deducted from future affiliate earnings or otherwise recovered where permitted by law.
5. Payouts
Eligible balances are reviewed for payout monthly after they reach the minimum shown in the Affiliate dashboard, currently $25. Balances below the minimum roll forward and do not expire while the account remains in good standing.
You may earn before payout setup is complete, but LinkStack cannot send funds until applicable payout, identity, tax, and compliance requirements are complete. Payout timing can vary because of weekends, provider review, missing information, suspected abuse, or legal requirements.
You are responsible for your own taxes, filings, and professional advice. LinkStack may require tax documentation or use a third-party payout provider rather than storing bank or tax identifiers directly.
6. Referral Names and Links
Referral names are program-specific, case-insensitively unique, and subject to format and reserved-name rules. You may change your current referral name. Historical names remain assigned to your affiliate account so old links keep working and cannot be claimed by someone else.
You may link to eligible LinkStack marketing pages with the ref parameter. You may not hide, alter, or misuse a referral link in a way that misleads a visitor about the destination, your relationship with LinkStack, or the result they should expect.
7. Required Disclosure
Clearly and conspicuously disclose that you may receive a commission when sharing your referral link. Recommended language: ‘I may earn a commission if you sign up through this link.’ The words ‘affiliate link’ by themselves may not be clear enough.
You are responsible for complying with advertising, endorsement, consumer-protection, platform, and other rules that apply to your promotion.
8. Prohibited Promotion
Do not use unlawful or unsolicited spam, misleading claims, fake reviews, impersonation, forced clicks, cookie stuffing, adware, deceptive redirects, automated account creation, or other abusive methods to promote LinkStack.
Without LinkStack's prior written permission, do not run paid search campaigns that bid directly on LinkStack, LinkStack.fyi, confusing misspellings, or LinkStack trademarks.
Do not make false or unsupported statements about LinkStack features, pricing, expected earnings, savings, guarantees, partnerships, or endorsements.
9. Review, Suspension, and Termination
LinkStack may investigate traffic, accounts, transactions, and promotional methods for fraud, abuse, legal risk, or violations of these terms. During review, LinkStack may suspend an affiliate account, stop accepting new referrals, and freeze unpaid balances while keeping referral names reserved.
LinkStack may reverse ineligible commission, cancel unpaid amounts, suspend or terminate participation, or take other reasonable action when these terms are violated. Legitimately earned balances remain subject to these terms, applicable law, and any required compliance review.
10. Program Changes
LinkStack may change, pause, or end the Affiliate Program; change settings for future referrals; or update these Affiliate Terms. Material changes will be communicated when reasonably practical. Continued participation after an update means you accept the updated terms when LinkStack asks you to do so.
No public performance tier, sub-affiliate commission, coupon attribution, or recruitment bonus is promised unless LinkStack announces it in writing.
11. Records and Decisions
LinkStack's good-faith records control attribution, collected revenue, commission, holds, adjustments, and payouts unless a clear error is shown. Contact support promptly if you believe a record is incorrect. Attribution correction requests should generally be submitted within 30 days of signup.
These Affiliate Terms supplement the LinkStack Terms of Service. If they conflict on an affiliate-program issue, these Affiliate Terms control for that issue.
