These Affiliate Program Terms govern participation in the Admaxxer affiliate program. By joining or promoting your referral link you agree to them, in addition to the Admaxxer Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The plain-English version is the affiliate help guide; the overview is at /affiliates.
The Admaxxer affiliate program lets anyone with an account earn recurring commission for referring new paying customers. It's single-sided: you earn 50% of the net revenue we collect from each customer you refer, on every payment they make for their first 12 months. There's no cap on referrals, no traffic minimum, and it's free to join — free (non-paying) accounts qualify too. The headline pitch lives at /affiliates and the program terms at /affiliate-terms.
Open to individuals and businesses (18+) who can enter a binding agreement — agencies, freelancers, consultants, creators, newsletter operators, and existing Admaxxer customers. You do NOT need a paid plan; a free account is enough to earn and to request payouts. Joining is instant and self-serve: create a free account (Google, magic-link, or Apple), then open your affiliate dashboard at admaxxer.com/affiliate — your link works right away. We may remove an affiliate at our discretion for conduct that conflicts with the terms.
Your link is shown at the top of your dashboard with a one-click Copy button, in the form https://admaxxer.com/?ref=YOURCODE. A short lowercase code is generated automatically the first time you open the dashboard. You can set a custom/vanity code instead — lowercase letters and numbers, 4 to 20 characters; if it's already taken you'll be asked to pick another. Example: a creator might set "?ref=growthwithjo" and share admaxxer.com/?ref=growthwithjo in their newsletter and video descriptions.
When someone clicks your link, we set a first-party cookie on their browser that lasts 60 days, and we count the click on your dashboard. If they create a brand-new account through your link within 60 days of clicking — including across the Google/Apple/magic-link signup step — the referral is credited to you. Three rules to know: (1) attribution is tied to the browser/device where the click happened (we don't match across devices, so a phone click + laptop signup won't credit); (2) a user can only ever be attributed to one referrer; (3) attribution happens only at a new account's first signup — existing accounts can't be claimed later. Example: a reader clicks your link today and starts a trial 3 weeks later on the same browser — that's credited; if they instead sign up 3 months later with no new click, it isn't.
You earn 50% of net revenue on each qualifying payment. "Net" means your referral's payment minus payment-processing fees (and net of any taxes, discounts/credits, or refunds) — not the list price. Because the processor takes roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per payment first, your commission is slightly under half the sticker. Worked example: on a $79 Pro payment, net ≈ $76.41, so your commission ≈ $38.21. You earn only on paid subscription payments — clicks, free signups, and trials earn $0. The 12-month window starts at the FIRST payment and runs on calendar time; payments after month 12 aren't commissionable. Upgrades/downgrades: your commission tracks the net of whatever they actually pay. Annual: a single annual charge yields one 50%-of-net lump. Pause/skip: that cycle earns nothing and the clock keeps running. No cap on referrals — each has its own window.
The dashboard (admaxxer.com/affiliate) shows, in real time: total clicks, people referred, active (paying) referrals, and your balance broken into Available (withdrawable now), On hold (approved but still inside the 45-day hold), Reserved (tied up in a payout you've requested), and Pending review. A per-payment list shows each referral's masked email (e.g. jo***@gmail.com — you never see full personal data), the gross amount, the net amount, your commission, the commission month (1–12), and the status.
Each commission moves through: Under review — accrued from a real payment, awaiting our approval; Cleared — approved AND past the 45-day hold, now counting toward your withdrawable Available balance; Paid — included in a payout we've sent. Two off-ramps: Rejected — disallowed (e.g. a self-referral or failed check); Refunded — the underlying payment was reversed, so the commission was clawed back. Becoming withdrawable requires BOTH approval and the elapsed 45-day hold, so a commission can be past 45 days yet still Under review until approved.
Commission is only paid on revenue we keep. Each commission is held for 45 days after the payment, which covers the refund/chargeback window — so the Available balance is money you can count on. If a referral refunds or charges back before payout, the commission is clawed back from your balance (and offset against future commission if it exceeds your current balance). Commission that has already been paid out to you is NOT automatically reversed; a post-payout reversal is a rare case we handle manually. Ordinary cancellation (churn) is not a clawback — you keep everything already cleared and simply stop earning new commission.
Once your Available balance reaches the $100 minimum and you've saved a payout method, you request a payout from the dashboard — payouts are pull-based, not automatic. Requesting reserves the eligible commissions (they leave Available) so they can't be double-spent. We pay via Wise (your Wise email) or bank transfer (account holder, country, and an IBAN or local account number; optional bank name, SWIFT/BIC, US routing), typically within 10 business days on our regular (≈monthly) run. Wise transfers usually land within a couple of business days of being sent; bank/SWIFT can take longer internationally. Commissions and the $100 minimum are in USD; payouts are sent in USD. Admaxxer covers the standard Wise/domestic-bank fee; international intermediary/recipient-bank fees on your side are your responsibility. Balances under $100 roll over and never expire; cleared commission earned inside the window stays payable even if it crosses $100 after the window ends. Update your payout details before requesting — they're snapshotted at request time; if a transfer fails, the reserved funds return to Available so you can fix the details and retry.
You're responsible for any taxes owed on commission you earn; we don't withhold. For US affiliates earning $600 or more in a calendar year we'll request a W-9 and may issue a Form 1099-NEC; we may request a W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E from non-US affiliates to certify foreign status. We may hold a payout until required tax documentation is provided.
Promote in newsletters, video descriptions, client proposals, comparison/editorial posts, and agency stack pages — and disclose the affiliate relationship wherever required by law (e.g. the FTC Endorsement Guides). Prohibited: bidding on Admaxxer trademarks in paid search; impersonating Admaxxer or implying official endorsement; using a display URL that mimics admaxxer.com or direct-linking your raw referral URL as an ad's final URL (send paid traffic to your own content/landing page instead); self-referrals or referring accounts you control; fake/incentivized signups, cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, and bots; spam or misleading claims; fake "discount code" listings (the program is single-sided — there's no code to advertise); and cookie-stuffing or last-click-injection browser extensions. Non-brand paid search and honest deal/comparison content are allowed within these rules.
We may modify, suspend, or terminate the program or terms at any time; material changes are communicated to active affiliates and apply going forward — commission already earned under the prior terms is honored. On leaving (for reasons other than prohibited conduct), earned-and-cleared commission remains payable subject to the $100 minimum; commission tied to prohibited conduct is forfeited.
