These Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions (“Agreement”) are entered into by and between The Contract Edit Legal Services LLC d/b/a The Blog Law Guide and the individual or entity applying to participate in The Blog Law Guide’s affiliate program.
This Agreement governs your participation in The Blog Law Guide’s affiliate marketing program and your promotion of the digital products offered for sale on our website, located at www.bloglawguide.com.
By applying to or participating in the Affiliate Program, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms set forth herein, you may not participate in the Affiliate Program.
For clarity:
- “We,” “Us,” “Our,” and “the Website” refer to The Blog Law Guide, its owners, operators, and authorized representatives.
- “You” and “Your” refer to any individual or entity applying to or participating in the Affiliate Program.
1. Eligibility
1.1 Minimum Age
To participate in the Affiliate Program, you must be at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into binding contracts.
1.2 Legal Authority
If you are applying on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.
1.3 Geographic and Legal Compliance
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Affiliate Program complies with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to you based on your jurisdiction. We make no representations regarding the legality of participation outside the United States.
1.4 Right to Refuse or Terminate Participation
We reserve the right to approve, deny, suspend, or remove any Affiliate from the Affiliate Program at any time, with or without cause, and at our sole discretion. This includes, but is not limited to, conduct that we determine may:
- Violate this Agreement or any applicable law;
- Harm our brand, business, or reputation;
- Be deceptive, unethical, offensive, or otherwise inconsistent with our values.
Approval of an application does not create any guarantee of ongoing participation.
2. Enrollment and Acceptance
2.1 Application Process
To join the Affiliate Program, you must submit a complete and accurate application through ThriveCart. By submitting your application, you represent that all information provided is truthful and current. Information you submit will be maintained in ThriveCart’s secure database. For more information about how ThriveCart protects your application data, see https://thrivecart.com/legal/thrivecart/.
2.2 Evaluation and Approval
We will review your application and notify you of acceptance or rejection. We may request additional information before making a decision. We are not obligated to approve any application and may deny or revoke approval at any time, in our sole discretion and without obligation to provide a reason.
2.3 Access Upon Acceptance
If approved, you will receive access to your affiliate account, including tracking links, promotional materials, and program resources. You may begin referring potential customers only after receiving this confirmation.
2.4 Ongoing Evaluation
Your participation in the Affiliate Program is subject to continued compliance with this Agreement. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your participation at any time, without notice, for any reason we determine appropriate, including but not limited to inactivity, suspected fraud, or behavior that may harm our business or reputation.
3. Commission Structure
3.1 Commission Rate
Affiliates will earn a commission equal to forty percent (40%) of the net sales price of each Qualifying Purchase made through a valid Affiliate Link. The net sales price excludes taxes, discounts, promotional codes, transaction fees, refunds, chargebacks, and any amounts paid for shipping or handling.
3.2 Qualifying Purchases
A “Qualifying Purchase” is a completed purchase of a Digital Product made by a customer who:
- Arrives at the Website through your unique Affiliate Link;
- Completes the purchase in the same browser session without clearing cookies or switching devices;
- Does not request a refund, issue a chargeback, or otherwise reverse the transaction; and
- Is not you or someone associated with your household, business, or device.
We reserve the right to determine, at our sole discretion, whether a purchase qualifies for a commission.
3.3 Tracking and Attribution
Affiliate sales are tracked through cookies and platform-specific tracking codes. We are not responsible for tracking failures due to browser settings, user behavior, ad blockers, or other technical limitations. No commission will be paid for sales that are not properly tracked through the designated system. The Blog Law Guide uses a last-click attribution model. This means the affiliate whose link was most recently clicked before a Qualifying Purchase will receive credit for the commission. In cases where multiple affiliate cookies exist, only the most recent will be honored.
3.4 Cookie Duration
Affiliate tracking cookies are valid for 1 year (365 days) from the time a user clicks on your unique Affiliate Link. If a customer completes a Qualifying Purchase within this 365-day window—and the tracking has not been disrupted (for example, by clearing cookies, switching devices or browsers, or clicking another affiliate’s link)—you will be credited with the commission. After the 365-day period, commissions will no longer be attributed unless the user clicks your Affiliate Link again.
3.5 Self-Referrals Prohibited
You may not use your own Affiliate Link to make purchases. Commissions will not be paid on self-referrals or purchases made by individuals or entities closely associated with you. We reserve the right to deny or reverse commissions in such cases.
3.6 Modifications to Commission Terms
We may modify the commission rate or structure at any time. Changes will apply prospectively and will not affect commissions already earned on Qualifying Purchases made prior to the effective date of the change.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Payout Schedule
Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, typically within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, provided the minimum payout threshold has been met and no disqualifying events (such as refunds or chargebacks) have occurred.
4.2 Minimum Payout Threshold
No commission will be paid until your earned commissions reach a minimum of thirty dollars ($30.00 USD). If your balance does not reach this amount, it will carry over to the next month until the threshold is met.
4.3 Payment Method
Payments are made via PayPal. You are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate and current payment information in your affiliate account. We are not responsible for lost or misdirected payments due to incorrect or outdated details.
4.4 Refunds and Chargebacks
If a customer requests a refund or disputes a charge, and the sale is reversed or refunded, the associated commission will be deducted from your balance. If a refund or chargeback occurs after a commission has already been paid to you, we reserve the right to recover the overpaid amount by deducting it from future payouts or issuing an invoice.
4.5 Taxes
You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or similar obligations associated with commission payments in your jurisdiction. We do not withhold or remit any taxes on your behalf unless required by law.
4.6 Account Review and Withholding
We reserve the right to withhold payment or delay payout while we investigate suspected violations of this Agreement, fraudulent activity, or misuse of the Affiliate Program. We may also withhold or cancel commissions for sales that we, in our sole discretion, determine were generated in violation of this Agreement or applicable law.
