Affiliate Terms & Conditions

1. Eligibility

1.1 To join the Program and to earn and receive commissions, you must be an active member of Focused.com in good standing.

1.2 If your Focused.com membership ends, lapses or is suspended, commissions are not earned for any billing period in which you were not an active member, and those commissions are forfeited. Commissions resume for billing periods after your membership is reinstated.

1.3 You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. You must provide accurate information when you sign up and keep it up to date.

1.4 We may verify your Focused.com membership at any time and may ask you to confirm it.

2. Enrollment & your account

2.1 Affiliates who meet the eligibility requirements are approved automatically when they sign up. We may still decline or remove any affiliate who does not meet the requirements or who breaks this Agreement.

2.2 After you sign up, you’ll receive a unique affiliate link and access to your affiliate dashboard, where you can see referrals and commissions.

2.3 You’re responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity under your affiliate account. You may hold only one affiliate account.

3. Commissions

3.1 Rate. You earn a commission of 40% of the subscription fees we actually collect from each client you refer (a “Referred Client”).

3.2 Recurring. Commissions are recurring. You earn 40% of each monthly payment a Referred Client makes for as long as that client keeps an active, paid Launch Marketing Suite subscription and you remain eligible under this Agreement.

3.3 Example. At the current price of $197 per month, you would earn $78.80 for each month a Referred Client pays in full.

3.4 Uncapped. There is no limit on the number of clients you can refer or the total commissions you can earn.

3.5 What commissions are based on. Commissions are calculated on the amount actually received for the Launch Marketing Suite subscription, after any discounts, credits, refunds and chargebacks, and excluding sales tax, payment processing fees, and any usage-based charges (such as text message, email or phone usage).

3.6 No commission is earned on: unpaid or failed payments; free trials or complimentary accounts; your own subscription or any account you own, control or benefit from (“self-referrals”); or clients who were already our customers or were already being worked with by our team before they used your link.

3.7 If a Referred Client cancels and later re-subscribes through your affiliate link within 90 days, commissions resume. Otherwise, the most recent valid referral applies.

4. Referral tracking

4.1 Referrals are tracked through our affiliate system (provided through HighLevel) using your unique link and browser cookies.

4.2 A referral is credited to you when a new client clicks your link and signs up within 365 days of that click, using the same browser and device. If a client clicks more than one affiliate’s link, the most recent click receives credit.

4.3 We are not responsible for referrals that aren’t tracked because of cookie blocking, private browsing, the client using a different device, the client signing up without your link, or technical problems outside our reasonable control. Our tracking records are final, except where there is an obvious error.

4.4 If you believe a referral was missed, contact us within 30 days of the client’s signup and we’ll review it in good faith.

5. Payment

5.1 Net-30. Commissions are paid on a Net-30 basis. Commissions earned during a calendar month become payable 30 days after that month ends, which allows time for refunds and chargebacks. For example, commissions earned in January are paid at the end of February.

5.2 Schedule. Payable commissions are paid monthly, on or around the 30th of each month (or the last business day of the month in months with fewer than 30 days).

5.3 Minimum. Payments are made once your payable balance reaches $50. Balances below the minimum roll over to the next payout.

5.4 Method. Payments are made by PayPal or direct deposit. You must provide accurate payment details before we can pay you.

5.5 Tax form required. A completed IRS Form W-9 (for U.S. persons) or the appropriate Form W-8, such as W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (for non-U.S. persons), is required before any payment can be made. Commissions owed while this form is missing are held until it is received.

5.6 All payments are made in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any fees charged by your bank or payment provider.

6. Refunds & chargebacks

6.1 If a Referred Client’s payment is refunded, reversed, disputed or charged back, the related commission is cancelled.

6.2 If we’ve already paid that commission, we may deduct it from your future commissions. If you have no future commissions, you agree to repay it within 30 days of our request.

7. How you may promote

7.1 You may promote Launch Marketing Suite through your own website, social media, email list, events, conversations and other honest, lawful channels.

7.2 When describing Launch Marketing Suite, you must accurately describe what’s included and its price, and use only claims we’ve published or approved.

7.3 You must follow all applicable laws, including advertising, consumer protection, privacy, anti-spam (such as the CAN-SPAM Act) and telemarketing and texting laws (such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act), as well as the rules of any platform you use.

8. Prohibited activities

You may not:

• Send unsolicited email, text messages, direct messages or calls (spam), or contact anyone who hasn’t given the consent required by law.
• Make false, misleading or exaggerated claims, including promises of specific results, rankings, leads, revenue or income.
• Offer cash back, rebates or other incentives to clients for using your link, unless we approve it in writing.
• Bid on “Launch Marketing Suite,” our company name or similar terms in paid search or social ads, or use them in domain names or social media handles.
• Post your link on coupon, deal or cashback sites, or use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden links or any other method that sets a cookie without a genuine click.
• Refer yourself, your own businesses, or accounts you control, or create fake accounts or signups.
• Present yourself as an employee, owner or official representative of Launch Marketing Suite, or make commitments on our behalf, including pricing, discounts, refunds or custom work.
• Use our name or materials in connection with anything illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise likely to harm our reputation.

Commissions resulting from prohibited activity are not earned and may be cancelled or recovered, and we may end your participation in the Program.

9. Disclosure requirements

9.1 You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship whenever you promote Launch Marketing Suite, as required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides and similar laws.

9.2 The disclosure must be easy to see and understand and placed close to your recommendation or link, for example: “I earn a commission if you sign up through my link.” A disclosure hidden in a footer or a separate page is not enough.

10. Use of our brand

10.1 While you’re an affiliate in good standing, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our name, logo and the promotional materials we provide, only to promote Launch Marketing Suite under this Agreement.

10.2 You may not change our logo or materials, other than resizing them, or use them in a way that suggests we endorse you or your business.

10.3 All our trademarks, materials, templates and other intellectual property remain ours. When this Agreement ends, you must stop using them and remove them from your channels within 10 days.

11. Independent contractor

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship. You have no authority to make commitments for us, and you’re responsible for your own expenses.

12. Taxes

You are responsible for all taxes on the commissions you receive. As described in section 5.5, a completed Form W-9 or W-8 is required before you can be paid. We will issue any tax forms the law requires.

13. Termination

13.1 You may leave the Program at any time by contacting us.

13.2 We may end your participation at any time, for any reason, with notice. We may end it immediately, without notice, if you break this Agreement or are no longer eligible.

13.3 If you leave or we end your participation without cause, we will pay commissions earned up to the end date, subject to the payment rules above. Commissions on Referred Clients’ payments after the end date are not paid.

13.4 If we end your participation because you broke this Agreement, any unpaid commissions are forfeited.

14. Changes to the Program

We may change this Agreement, the commission rate, or the Program, or end the Program, at any time. We’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice of material changes by email or through your affiliate dashboard. Changes to the commission rate apply only to payments received after the change takes effect. If you keep participating after a change takes effect, you accept it.

15. Confidentiality

You may receive non-public information about our business, pricing, clients or Program. You agree to keep it confidential and use it only to take part in the Program. You may not contact our clients using information obtained through the Program, except as normal referral follow-up with people you referred.

16. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

The Program and our affiliate system are provided “as is.” We do not guarantee that tracking will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you will earn any particular amount.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, arising from this Agreement or the Program. Our total liability to you will not exceed the commissions paid or payable to you in the 12 months before the claim arose.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our owners, employees and contractors from any claims, losses, fines and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your promotional activities, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

18. Governing law & disputes

This Agreement shall be construed under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. The courts of British Columbia, Canada shall be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all legal proceedings that are not arbitrated under these Terms. The parties hereby waive all rights to seek venue in other locations.

19. General

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us about the Program. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any part is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent; we may assign it, for example as part of a sale of our business. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including payment, refunds and chargebacks, confidentiality, liability, indemnification and governing law) will survive.
