Affiliate Terms

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.

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 and circular referral chains do not qualify. You may not create, control, or coordinate related accounts for the primary purpose of manufacturing commissions.

The commission rate or schedule for a qualified referral is recorded 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.

When second-tier earnings are active, you also earn the recorded second-tier rate, currently 10%, on eligible subscription payments from customers directly referred by your own qualified referrals. Your referral must activate their affiliate link but does not need a paid plan. The second-tier commission is a share of subscription revenue, in addition to the direct affiliate's commission, and continues for the lifetime of that customer's active paid relationship. It stops after this second level.

Existing recorded referral chains can qualify for second-tier earnings on payments collected after the program's second-tier launch. Payments collected before launch do not gain second-tier commission, even if processed again later. Each qualified referral records its recipients and rates; subsequent settings changes do not rewrite those records. Missing historical referral relationships cannot be inferred or guaranteed.

LinkStack may change the default commission rate for future referrals. Existing qualified referrals keep the rate or schedule 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.

Founding Creators earn 70% on eligible subscription payments collected during the 12 calendar months following each newly attributed customer's first paid subscription payment, then 40% while that customer stays subscribed. Eligibility uses UTC payment dates, with the 40% rate starting on the first payment date’s 12-month anniversary (the last day of that month if needed). The first-year window does not pause or restart for cancellations, refunds, plan changes, or new subscriptions. Both monthly and annual payments qualify. Recorded second-tier rates remain separate and unchanged.

Founding enrollment is open until LinkStack closes the offer. Our first 100 founding creators is a recruitment target, not an automatic enrollment limit. Creators enrolled in the founding offer keep these terms for future qualified referrals after enrollment closes. Existing referrals retain their previously recorded terms. Existing active affiliates on standard rates are included when the founding offer first opens; individually negotiated rate agreements are preserved.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
