Affiliate Agreement

To join the Program you must: (a) be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; (b) complete the Program registration with accurate information; (c) maintain a verified Stripe Connect account to receive payments; and (d) comply with this Agreement, our Terms of Service, and our Acceptable Use Policy.

We may accept or reject any application at our sole discretion and may request additional information or documentation before approval.

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and Bellafy. You have no authority to bind Bellafy, make representations on its behalf, or incur any obligations in its name.

You are solely responsible for how you promote Bellafy, for your own expenses, and for all taxes on the commissions you receive.

Once your registration is approved, Bellafy provides you with a unique referral code and tracking link (for example, bellafy.app/r/[code]). When a visitor clicks your link, we place a first-party cookie on their device with your code so future sign-ups can be attributed to you.

A referral qualifies for commissions when: (a) a new Merchant signs up with your referral cookie active on their device; (b) the Merchant converts from the free trial to a paid subscription; and (c) Bellafy successfully collects the subscription payment.

Attribution uses a last-click model with a cookie duration of 60 days. If a visitor clicks another affiliate's link within that window before converting, the most recent valid click is credited.

Only new Merchant accounts qualify. Existing accounts, reactivated accounts, self-referrals, and referrals from accounts you own or control do not qualify.

For each qualified referral, you earn: (a) thirty percent (30%) of the net subscription revenue that Bellafy successfully collects from the referred Merchant during the first ten (10) calendar months after the Merchant's first paid subscription; and (b) eight percent (8%) of the net subscription revenue collected thereafter, for as long as the referred Merchant remains an active paying customer (the "Residual Commission").

"Net subscription revenue" means the amount Bellafy actually collects for the Merchant's subscription, after deducting payment processing fees, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, and any promotional discounts or credits. It does not include the 3.49% platform commission Bellafy earns on Stripe Connect transactions between the Merchant and its End Users, or any other non-subscription revenue.

Commissions are calculated on a calendar-month basis based on payments successfully collected during that month. All amounts are in U.S. Dollars. If your Stripe account is denominated in another currency, Stripe's conversion rate and any related fees apply and are borne by you.

Bellafy may change commission rates, residual rates, or the attribution window with at least thirty (30) days' prior notice. Changes apply prospectively to referrals made after the effective date; commissions already accrued on existing referrals will not be reduced by the change.

Commissions are paid through Stripe Connect. By participating in the Program, you authorize Bellafy to initiate payouts to your connected account and agree to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement available at stripe.com/legal.

All commissions are subject to a thirty (30) day holdback period from the day they are generated. This period allows us to account for refunds, chargebacks, failed payments, and other reversible events. After the holdback period ends, commissions are released to your Stripe Connect account on a monthly basis.

If a referred Merchant's payment is refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed, the corresponding commission will be canceled. If the commission has already been paid to you, the amount will be deducted from future commissions or, if no future commissions are available within ninety (90) days, invoiced to you for repayment.

No commissions are paid on subscription amounts that are unpaid, refunded, disputed, or under investigation.

You are solely responsible for all taxes on the commissions you receive. Bellafy may request tax documentation (such as IRS Form W-9 for U.S. persons or W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E for non-U.S. persons) and may be required to issue information returns (such as Form 1099-NEC) as required by law. Bellafy will not withhold taxes except where required by law.

There is no minimum payout threshold. Commissions accrued in a given calendar month are paid in the following month, subject to the holdback period described in Section 5. Bellafy reserves the right to introduce a minimum payout threshold with thirty (30) days' prior notice.

You may promote Bellafy through your website, blog, newsletter, social media, podcast, email list (to recipients who have opted in), video content, and other lawful channels. You must always identify yourself clearly, present accurate information about Bellafy, and disclose your affiliate relationship where required by law (for example, FTC guidelines on endorsements).

You may not: (a) refer yourself or use synthetic, fake, or duplicate accounts to generate commissions; (b) bid on Bellafy brand keywords in paid search (including "Bellafy", "bellafy.app", and common misspellings) without our prior written consent; (c) register domain names that are confusingly similar to ours; (d) impersonate Bellafy or present yourself as an employee or official representative; (e) use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden iframes, or any method to artificially inflate referrals; (f) use spam, unsolicited email, SMS, or purchased contact lists; (g) make misleading, false, or unsubstantiated claims about Bellafy's features, pricing, or performance; (h) offer unauthorized rebates, cash-backs, or incentives funded from your commission in a way that circumvents our pricing; or (i) promote Bellafy on sites that contain illegal, adult, hateful, or otherwise harmful content.

Bellafy's trademarks, logos, and marketing materials may only be used in connection with promoting Bellafy and in accordance with our brand guidelines. You may not alter, modify, or create derivative works of our marks.

Bellafy owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, our trademarks, logos, and all related intellectual property. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any ownership interest. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our marks and approved marketing materials solely to promote Bellafy in accordance with this Agreement.

This license ends automatically when this Agreement ends. Upon termination, you must stop using our marks and remove our materials from any channels you control within thirty (30) days.

You may receive non-public information from Bellafy (for example, internal tools, pricing, roadmap, performance data). You agree to keep such information confidential, use it only to perform under this Agreement, and not disclose it to third parties without our prior written consent, during the term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of yours, that you already lawfully possessed, or that you are required to disclose by law.

Bellafy is the data controller of personal information collected in connection with the Program. We process this data as described in our Privacy Policy. You must not collect, store, or process personal information of potential Merchants in violation of applicable privacy laws. If you send email marketing on Bellafy's behalf or about Bellafy, you must comply with anti-spam laws (including the CAN-SPAM Act and, where applicable, CASL, GDPR, and similar laws).

This Agreement begins when your application is approved and continues until terminated by either party.

Termination for convenience. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, by notifying the other party. You can terminate by emailing partners@bellafy.app or disabling your affiliate account. We can terminate by notifying you in writing (including by email).

Termination for cause. We may suspend or terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice if: (a) you materially breach this Agreement, our Terms of Service, or our Acceptable Use Policy; (b) you engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal conduct; (c) you misuse our brand or intellectual property; (d) we determine in good faith that your conduct is harmful to Bellafy, our Merchants, or our End Users; or (e) required by law.

Effect of termination. Upon termination: (a) your right to promote Bellafy and use our referral links ends immediately; (b) tracking cookies previously set remain valid for the remainder of their duration but no new commissions will accrue after termination, except as described in subsection (d); (c) commissions already accrued and not reversed will be paid in the next regular payment cycle, subject to the holdback period; and (d) Residual Commissions on active referred Merchants end upon termination, except where Bellafy terminates you without cause, in which case Residual Commissions continue for up to three (3) additional calendar months.

If we terminate you for cause, all unpaid accrued commissions may be forfeited at our discretion, and we may pursue any additional remedies available by law.

THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. BELLAFY DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY MINIMUM LEVEL OF REFERRALS, COMMISSIONS, OR INCOME. YOU ACCEPT THAT YOUR RESULTS DEPEND ON YOUR OWN EFFORTS, MARKET CONDITIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS OUTSIDE BELLAFY'S CONTROL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BELLAFY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

BELLAFY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF COMMISSIONS PAID TO YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Bellafy harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your promotional activities and any representations you make about Bellafy; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (d) content you publish in connection with the Program.

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Program shall be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wyoming, in English, by a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. You and Bellafy agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in an individual capacity only, and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court or seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.

We may update this Agreement from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the partner dashboard at least fifteen (15) days before the changes take effect.

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not be deemed a waiver.

You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement at any time, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Notices to Bellafy should be sent to legal@bellafy.app. Notices to you will be sent to the email address on your affiliate account.
