Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) form a binding agreement between Poly Hammer (“Poly Hammer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, the person or entity applying to or participating in the Poly Hammer affiliate program (the “Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”). By applying to, being accepted into, or participating in the affiliate program (the “Program”), or by using any referral link or referral code we issue to you, you accept this Agreement in full. If you do not agree, do not participate in the Program.

This Agreement supplements, and does not replace, our Legal Disclaimer and the terms of service governing your Poly Hammer account.

1. Definitions

• Product: A one-time purchase of a Poly Hammer software product, add-on, or downloadable asset. Products do not include subscriptions, recurring plans, account tier upgrades, credit packs, or any other consumption-based or recurring purchase.
• Referral Link / Referral Code: The unique tracking link or discount code we issue to you and that identifies traffic and purchases attributable to you.
• Referred Customer: A new or existing customer who completes a purchase after arriving through your Referral Link or applying your Referral Code at checkout.
• Qualifying Sale: A completed, paid purchase of an eligible Product by a Referred Customer that is correctly attributed to you, that is not refunded, reversed, charged back, or cancelled, and that is not otherwise excluded under Section 5.
• Net Sale Price: The amount actually paid by the Referred Customer for the Product after the affiliate discount is applied, excluding taxes (including sales tax and VAT), duties, currency conversion charges, payment processing fees, and any other discounts, credits, or promotions.
• Commission: The amount payable to you for a Qualifying Sale, as calculated in Section 4.

2. Enrollment and Eligibility

Participation in the Program is by application and invitation only, as described under “How to Apply” above. Poly Hammer reserves the right to reject any affiliate application, at our sole discretion, for any reason or for no reason, and without providing an explanation. Acceptance is never automatic, meeting the criteria below does not entitle you to admission, and our decision on an application is final. We may also revoke acceptance, or suspend or terminate your participation, at any time under Section 12.

To be eligible to apply, you must:

• be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater;
• have the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement;
• maintain a Poly Hammer account in good standing;
• provide accurate, complete, and current registration, tax, and payment information, and keep it up to date; and
• not reside in, or be located in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargo under applicable law.

You are responsible for all activity conducted under your affiliate account, including the conduct of anyone you permit to use your Referral Link or Referral Code.

3. Tracking and Attribution

Referrals are tracked using cookies, referral codes, and other identifiers recorded by our affiliate tracking provider. Attribution operates on a last-click basis: where a customer interacts with more than one referral source, the Commission is credited to the most recent qualifying referral before the purchase.

The tracking cookie has a limited lifetime disclosed in your affiliate dashboard. A referral will not be attributed to you if the cookie has expired, if the customer blocks, clears, or refuses cookies, if the customer purchases from a different browser or device, or if the Referral Code is not applied at checkout.

Our tracking records are the sole and authoritative basis for calculating Commissions. Poly Hammer does not guarantee that every referral will be tracked and is not liable for referrals lost to technical failure, ad blockers, browser privacy features, third-party interference, or customer behavior.

4. Commission Structure

The Program is a double-sided 30% incentive. When a Referred Customer purchases an eligible Product using your Referral Link or Referral Code:

• the Referred Customer receives a 30% discount off the then-current list price of the Product; and
• you earn a Commission equal to 30% of the Net Sale Price — that is, 30% of what the customer actually pays after the discount.

Worked example, on a Product listed at $100.00 USD:

Commissions are calculated in United States dollars on the Net Sale Price only. Commissions are not paid on taxes, duties, payment processing fees, currency conversion charges, or any portion of a purchase covered by account credit, gift value, or an additional promotion.

We may change commission rates, discount rates, and eligible Products at any time under Section 13. Rate changes apply prospectively to sales occurring after the change takes effect.

5. Excluded Transactions

No Commission is earned on, and the following do not constitute Qualifying Sales:

• Subscriptions and recurring purchases, including any initial or renewal charge, plan upgrade, or account tier upgrade;
• Credit packs and any other prepaid, consumption-based, or usage-metered purchase;
• free products, trials, beta access, and $0.00 transactions;
• self-referrals — purchases made by you, by any account you control, or by a member of your household or immediate family, and purchases where you supply your Referral Code to complete your own or a related party's transaction;
• purchases by a customer who was already in an active checkout, negotiation, or sales process with Poly Hammer at the time of the referral;
• transactions that are refunded, cancelled, charged back, disputed, or reversed for any reason;
• transactions we reasonably determine to be fraudulent, duplicative, or generated in violation of Section 8; and
• transactions completed after your participation in the Program is suspended or terminated.

6. Payment Terms and the 30-Day Holding Period

Poly Hammer offers customers a 30-day money-back guarantee on Products. Because a sale is not final until that window closes, every Commission is subject to a 30-day holding period measured from the date of the underlying purchase.

A Commission is pending during the holding period and becomes approved only after the holding period expires without a refund, cancellation, chargeback, or dispute. Pending Commissions are shown for information only, are not owed to you, and confer no right to payment.

Approved Commissions are paid on a monthly cycle. Payment is issued only when your approved balance meets or exceeds the minimum payout threshold published in your affiliate dashboard; balances below the threshold roll over to the following cycle. Payments are made in United States dollars through the payment method you designate. You are responsible for any fees charged by your payment provider, bank, or for currency conversion.

You must keep valid payment and tax details on file. We may withhold payment where your details are missing, incomplete, or inaccurate, where required by law, or while we investigate suspected violations of this Agreement. Commissions unclaimed because of invalid payment details for twelve (12) consecutive months may be forfeited, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You must notify us in writing of any disputed Commission calculation within sixty (60) days of the payment or statement in question. After that period, the statement is final.

7. Refunds, Chargebacks, and Reversals

If a Product referred by you is refunded, cancelled, charged back, or otherwise reversed, you lose the Commission on that sale. This applies whether the refund occurs during the 30-day money-back guarantee window or at any later time.

If the reversal occurs before payout, the pending Commission is simply removed. If it occurs after payout, we will deduct the amount from your next payment or, where your balance is insufficient, invoice you for the difference, which you agree to repay within thirty (30) days.

We may reverse or withhold any Commission we reasonably believe to be associated with fraud, abuse, manipulation of tracking, or a breach of this Agreement, and may offset such amounts against any balance owed to you.

8. Promotional Guidelines and Prohibited Conduct

You may promote Poly Hammer Products through your own website, newsletter, social media, video content, tutorials, and similar owned or lawfully operated channels. You may not:

• send unsolicited bulk email, SMS, or messages, or engage in any activity that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, or comparable anti-spam or privacy laws;
• bid on “Poly Hammer,” our product names, our trademarks, common misspellings of them, or any variation of them, as keywords in paid search or other paid advertising without our prior written consent, or use them in ad copy, display URLs, or destination URLs;
• use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframes, pop-unders, adware, browser extensions, typosquatting, redirects, or any other technique that sets tracking without a genuine, informed customer action;
• post your Referral Code to coupon, deal, voucher, or discount aggregation sites, or otherwise distribute it in a manner that intercepts customers already intending to purchase;
• register domain names, social accounts, app listings, or usernames containing our trademarks, or operate any property that could be mistaken for an official Poly Hammer channel;
• make false, misleading, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated claims about our Products, pricing, performance, results, guarantees, roadmap, or affiliations;
• offer cash back, rebates, loyalty points, or other incentives for using your Referral Link or Referral Code without our prior written consent;
• promote Poly Hammer alongside content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, discriminatory, or that infringes any third party's intellectual property or privacy rights;
• copy our website, marketing materials, or user interface, or represent yourself as an employee, agent, reseller, or official representative of Poly Hammer; or
• attempt to reverse-engineer, manipulate, or interfere with our tracking, checkout, pricing, or attribution systems.

A breach of this Section may result in immediate termination, forfeiture of all pending and unpaid Commissions, and reversal of Commissions already paid.

9. Required Disclosure of Your Affiliate Relationship

You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to Poly Hammer wherever you promote our Products, in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and any equivalent rules in your jurisdiction.

The disclosure must appear close to the referral link or claim, be readable without clicking “more,” and be understandable to an ordinary reader — for example: “This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you.” In video or audio content, the disclosure must be made audibly and/or on screen for long enough to be noticed and understood.

Compliance with all applicable advertising, endorsement, consumer protection, and privacy laws is your sole responsibility.

10. Limited License to Our Brand Assets

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to display our name, logos, product names, and marketing materials we make available to you (the “Brand Assets”) solely to promote our Products during the term of this Agreement.

You must use the Brand Assets in their supplied form, without alteration, and in a manner that does not disparage Poly Hammer or imply a partnership, endorsement, sponsorship, or joint venture that does not exist. All goodwill arising from your use inures to Poly Hammer. This license terminates automatically when this Agreement ends, and you must promptly remove all Brand Assets and Referral Links from your channels.

11. Independent Contractor Status and Taxes

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Poly Hammer. You have no authority to make or accept any offer, representation, or commitment on our behalf, and you must not do so.

You are solely responsible for all taxes arising from Commissions, and for your own business expenses, equipment, insurance, and any employees or contractors you engage. You must provide a valid IRS Form W-9 (U.S. persons) or the appropriate Form W-8 series (non-U.S. persons) before payment. We may withhold payment until a valid form is on file and may withhold amounts required by law. Where required, we will issue an IRS Form 1099 or comparable documentation.

12. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins when you are accepted into the Program and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. We may also suspend your account or withhold payment while we investigate a suspected breach.

On termination, your license to the Brand Assets ends and you must stop using all Referral Links and Referral Codes and remove them from your channels. Commissions on Qualifying Sales completed before termination remain payable on the normal schedule, subject to the holding period and to Sections 5, 7, and 8 — except that if we terminate for your breach, fraud, or abuse, all pending and unpaid Commissions are forfeited.

Sections 5, 7, 9, 11, and 14 through 19 survive termination.

13. Changes to This Agreement

We may modify this Agreement, the commission structure, the discount rate, eligible Products, the holding period, or the payout threshold at any time by posting an updated version at this URL and revising the “Last updated” date. Changes take effect when posted and apply prospectively. Your continued participation in the Program after a change constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to stop participating and terminate this Agreement.

14. Confidentiality

Non-public information we make available to you — including unreleased products, pricing plans, roadmaps, customer data, conversion statistics, and negotiated terms — is confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party or use it for any purpose other than performing under this Agreement, and this obligation survives termination. Referral reporting relating solely to your own account is not confidential information.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Program, our tracking systems, and our Products are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the Program will be error-free, that tracking will be uninterrupted or complete, or that your participation will generate any particular level of traffic, sales, or earnings. Any earnings figures we publish are illustrative and are not a promise of results.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Poly Hammer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to the Program or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the total Commissions actually paid to you in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Poly Hammer and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your participation in the Program, your promotional activities and content, your use of the Brand Assets, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by contacting one another. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Texas, USA, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

19. General

This Agreement, together with the documents it references, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Program and supersedes all prior discussions. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent; we may assign it freely. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on your affiliate account.
