Affiliate Agreement

The binding contract between operator and affiliate covering commissions, obligations, compliance duties, and termination rights.

The affiliate agreement is where marketing promises become enforceable terms: commission math, qualification criteria, payment schedules, permitted traffic types, brand-usage rules, liability, and how either side exits.

Clauses that decide disputes

Negative carryover, clawback scope, dormancy provisions, unilateral term-change rights, and termination-for-convenience payout treatment. “We may change terms at any time” combined with lifetime revshare is a contradiction affiliates should price in. Operators: a readable agreement is a recruiting asset; the industry’s boilerplate is so one-sided that plain fairness stands out.
