Affiliate Program Terms
These Affiliate Program Terms (the “Affiliate Terms”) govern the Kyncept Affiliate Program (the “Program”), in which approved partners earn a commission for referring new paying customers to Kyncept. Nothing is earned before we approve you.
1. Who these terms apply to
These Affiliate Terms apply to you once we approve you as an affiliate. They are in addition to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which also apply to your use of Kyncept. If these Affiliate Terms conflict with the Terms of Service on a Program matter, these Affiliate Terms win.
2. Joining the program
To apply, email [email protected] with the subject “Affiliate application” and include your name, the channels you plan to use (with URLs) and the approximate size of your audience. We may approve or decline any application at our discretion.
Approval comes first. You become a Kyncept affiliate only when we confirm your approval by email. Until then these terms give you no right to any commission: anything you promote, share or refer before your approval date earns nothing and is not credited retroactively, even if the customer pays later. Only referral links we issue to you after approval count, and only for customers who first click them after your approval date. Sending an application does not by itself make you an affiliate or allow you to present yourself as one.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. Each person or entity may hold only one affiliate account.
3. Your referral link
Once approved, we give you a unique referral link. Attribution is last-click: when someone clicks your link we set a referral cookie that lasts 30 days, and a purchase made within that window is credited to the last affiliate link they clicked.
Only new customers count — people who did not already have a Kyncept account. If a customer clears their cookies, blocks them, or signs up on a different device or browser, we may be unable to attribute the referral. Our records are final in deciding whether a referral is attributed to you.
4. Commissions
- 20% of net revenue from each customer you refer.
- Paid for the first 12 months after the customer’s first payment — recurring payments in that window count.
- Applies to subscriptions and one-time credit packs the referred customer buys.
“Net revenue” means the amount we actually collect from the referred customer, minus refunds, chargebacks, taxes (such as VAT or sales tax) and payment-processor fees.
For example, if a customer you refer subscribes to the Pro plan at $59/month, you earn 20% of the net amount — up to $11.80 a month, or up to $141.60 over the 12-month commission period.
Higher commission rates apply only where we have agreed them with you in writing by email.
5. Refunds, chargebacks and reversals
Each commission is held as pending for 30 days after the customer’s payment, to cover the refund and chargeback window, and is then approved. If a payment is refunded, charged back or found to be fraudulent, the related commission is reversed. If it has already been paid to you, we may deduct it from your future payouts.
6. Payouts
We pay monthly, by the 15th of each month, for commissions approved in the previous month. The minimum payout is US$50; a balance below that rolls over to the next month. Payouts are made in US dollars by PayPal or bank transfer (Wise), and you bear any fees charged to receive them.
You must give us accurate payout details and keep them up to date. We are not responsible for payments sent using incorrect details you gave us. An approved balance below the minimum with no new referral for 12 months may be forfeited.
7. Taxes
You are responsible for all taxes on the commissions you earn. Before paying you we may ask for a tax form such as a W-9, W-8BEN or equivalent, and we may withhold payment until we receive it.
8. Promotion rules and prohibited activities
You must not:
- refer yourself, or accounts you own or control;
- bid on “Kyncept”, its misspellings, or “Kyncept + keyword” in paid search ads, or use them in domain names, app names or social media handles;
- send spam — unsolicited email or direct messages, comment spam or forum spam;
- use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden iframes, adware or browser toolbars;
- offer cash-back, rebates or other incentives for sign-ups unless we approve it in writing;
- publish coupon or discount codes that we did not give you;
- make false or misleading claims about our features, pricing, results or your relationship with us;
- impersonate us, or present yourself as a Kyncept employee or official account;
- promote Kyncept on sites or channels with illegal, adult, hateful, violent or infringing content;
- use our logo or screenshots other than as we provide them, or modify them.
If you break these rules, you forfeit your unpaid commissions and we may terminate your participation in the Program.
9. Disclosure
You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship with us wherever you post your referral link, as required by law — for example the US FTC Endorsement Guides and the UK ASA/CAP code. A clear label such as “#ad” or “affiliate link” next to the link is the minimum.
10. Use of our brand
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the Kyncept name and the materials we provide only to promote Kyncept under these Affiliate Terms. The licence ends when your participation ends.
11. Termination
Either of us can end your participation at any time by email. If we end it because you breached these Affiliate Terms, your unpaid commissions are forfeited. Otherwise, approved commissions above the minimum payout are paid in the next payout cycle. Your referral link stops earning commissions when your participation ends.
12. Relationship
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Affiliate Terms creates a partnership, agency, employment or franchise relationship, and you cannot make commitments on our behalf.
13. Limitation of liability
The Program is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee any level of earnings or that referral tracking will always be available or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kyncept will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, and our total liability under these Affiliate Terms is limited to the commissions owed to you in the six months before the claim arose.
14. Changes to these terms
We may change these Affiliate Terms by giving you 30 days’ notice by email, and we will change the date above. Continuing to promote Kyncept after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Affiliate Terms.
15. Governing law and contact
These Affiliate Terms are governed by the laws that govern our Terms of Service. Questions about the Program, and affiliate applications, go to [email protected].
