Affiliate Program Agreement
Tides Peps Affiliate Program
Affiliate Program Agreement
This agreement governs applications, approved affiliate accounts, referral tracking, commissions, promotions, payouts, and program compliance.
1. Agreement and application
These Tides Peps Affiliate Program Terms (the “Agreement”) govern participation in the Tides Peps Affiliate Program (the “Program”). By submitting an application, accepting the required acknowledgements, or participating after approval, the applicant or approved affiliate (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agrees to this Agreement, the Tides Peps Privacy Policy, and written program instructions supplied by Tides Peps.
The Program currently accepts applications from individuals only, not companies or other organizations. You confirm that you are applying in your personal capacity, have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction, have authority to enter into this Agreement, and that your application is complete and accurate. Submission does not guarantee approval. Participation begins only after written approval and activation.
2. Eligibility and account responsibilities
You must be the age of majority where you live and legally able to enter a contract. You must keep contact, tax, payment, channel, ownership, and promotional information accurate. Your account, referral code, and dashboard access may not be sold, transferred, sublicensed, shared, or used by another person without written approval. You are responsible for securing your account and activity conducted through it.
3. Independent contractor relationship
You participate as an independent contractor. This Agreement does not create employment, agency, franchise, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, or exclusivity. You cannot bind Tides Peps or present yourself as its employee, agent, medical representative, or authorized spokesperson. You are responsible for your expenses, registrations, insurance, taxes, and legal compliance.
4. Limited permission to promote Tides Peps
While your account is active, Tides Peps grants a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use approved brand names, logos, images, links, and materials solely for the Program. You may not alter branding, imply ownership, register confusing domains or social handles, use Tides Peps in your business name, or create communications that appear official. This permission ends on suspension or termination.
5. Advertising disclosures and honest endorsements
Every promotion must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to Tides Peps near the endorsement, referral link, code, or call to action. Video, livestream, audio, story, and short-form content may require both visual and spoken disclosure.
Disclosure: I may earn a commission if you purchase through my Tides Peps link.
Statements must reflect your honest opinion and actual experience. You may not use fabricated reviews, hide incentives, buy fake engagement, misrepresent results, or make claims Tides Peps could not lawfully make.
6. Research-use and product-claim restrictions
Tides Peps products are for research use only and are not for human consumption. Use only accurate, current information approved by Tides Peps. You must not claim or imply that a product diagnoses, treats, cures, mitigates, or prevents a condition; make unsupported safety, efficacy, performance, comparative, dosing, guaranteed-result, or “clinically proven” claims; present testimonials as medical evidence; advise personal use or changes to medical care; misstate regulatory status, intended use, ingredients, warnings, or suitability; or hide required warnings. When uncertain, do not publish until written approval is received.
7. Promotional restrictions
Without prior written approval, you must not:
- send spam or unsolicited commercial messages;
- use cookie stuffing, hidden iframes, forced clicks, automatic redirects, adware, malware, toolbar injection, click fraud, fake leads, or deceptive attribution;
- bid on Tides Peps, its product names, listed prohibited keywords, misspellings, close variants, or confusing terms in paid search;
- use Tides Peps names in domains, subdomains, paid-ad display URLs, social handles, apps, or seller identities;
- publish unauthorized or expired coupons, alter offer terms, or submit codes to coupon sites without approval;
- purchase through your own link or arrange reciprocal or controlled self-referrals;
- publish on unlawful, hateful, discriminatory, violent, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, deceptive, or brand-unsafe channels;
- impersonate Tides Peps, its staff, a regulator, a health professional, or a customer;
- scrape personal data, use unlawfully acquired lists, or collect information without appropriate notice and authority;
- interfere with the website, checkout, tracking, customer choice, or another affiliate; or
- use sub-affiliates, media buyers, or networks without written approval and equivalent contractual controls.
8. Referral tracking and attribution
An approved Affiliate receives a unique referral code. A valid click may set a signed first-party cookie for 30 days. A later valid click replaces the earlier referral cookie. Attribution priority is: (1) authorized manual assignment; (2) one valid affiliate-linked coupon; then (3) a valid signed referral cookie. Conflicting affiliate coupons are ambiguous and do not select a coupon affiliate. Only active accounts with tracking enabled can create attribution or earn new commissions.
Tracking may be affected by consent choices, privacy settings, browser or device changes, deleted cookies, customer actions, security software, invalid links, network failures, and other technical limits. Tides Peps does not guarantee every visit or purchase will be tracked.
9. Commission rates and eligible sales
For the first three months after activation, the introductory rate is 20% of eligible sales. It begins at the activation timestamp and expires three calendar months later. It replaces, and is not added to, the regular structure.
Afterward, the regular calendar-month tiers are:
- 10% on $0 through $2,500.00 in eligible monthly sales;
- 15% above $2,500.00 through $25,000.00; and
- 20% above $25,000.00.
The monthly tier is retroactive: the highest attained rate applies to every eligible sale in that month. Refunds and adjustments may reduce the attained tier and recalculate unpaid commissions. Tides Peps may assign a different written plan prospectively.
Eligible amount equals the product-line total after discounts minus eligible item refunds. Taxes, shipping, fees, gift-card or cash-equivalent amounts, and exempt products or variations are excluded. Current-month reporting remains estimated until reconciliation.
10. Pending period, holds, and ineligible transactions
A commission remains Pending for 30 full days after confirmed payment so refunds, chargebacks, fraud signals, product eligibility, and compliance can be reviewed. No commission is earned on cancelled, failed, fraudulent, fully refunded, self-purchased, misattributed, duplicate, prohibited, or otherwise ineligible transactions. Tides Peps may reasonably hold, reject, investigate, and correct commissions.
11. Refunds, cancellations, and adjustments
Before payout, full eligible-item refunds reverse the associated commission and partial eligible-item refunds proportionally reduce it. Tax-, shipping-, and fee-only refunds do not reduce eligible product revenue. After payout, the permanent paid record remains unchanged and corrections are recorded as positive or negative adjustments against future balances.
12. Payouts
The current configured minimum payout is $0 (no additional threshold). Only a positive Approved balance can be paid. Payouts are processed manually outside WordPress and no fixed payout schedule is promised. Each payout covers one Affiliate and one currency. You must provide accurate payment instructions through an approved method; do not submit passwords or sensitive banking credentials through the public application.
Tides Peps may delay payment while required information is missing, a compliance review is open, or withholding is legally required. A payout is complete when the finalized amount is sent using the agreed method. Provider fees are your responsibility unless agreed otherwise in writing.
13. Taxes
You are responsible for determining, reporting, collecting, and paying taxes and governmental charges arising from Program income and activity. Tides Peps may request tax forms or identification and withhold amounts when required by law. Program information is not tax advice.
14. Monitoring, records, and fraud prevention
Tides Peps may review referral and promotional activity, including unusual clicks, conversions, repeat-customer indicators, refund rates, coupon placement, conflicting attribution, disclosures, and possible self-purchases. A signal requests review and is not automatically an accusation. You must cooperate and retain reasonable records supporting consent, traffic sources, disclosures, and claims.
15. Privacy and data handling
Tides Peps uses application and Affiliate information to review applications, administer accounts, communicate, attribute referrals, calculate commissions, prevent fraud, process payouts, comply with law, and maintain financial and audit records. Detailed click records are retained for 90 days under the current setting, subject to backups and legal requirements. Financial and audit records may be retained when required for integrity or compliance.
The affiliate dashboard does not disclose customer names, email addresses, accounts, addresses, phone numbers, payment methods, WooCommerce order numbers, subscription identifiers, or internal order links. See the Privacy Policy for additional information.
16. Communications
You consent to operational communications needed to administer the application and account, including decisions, compliance requests, commission adjustments, payout confirmations, and program changes. Operational messages are distinct from optional marketing. You must keep your program email current.
17. Suspension and termination
Either party may end participation by written notice. Tides Peps may immediately suspend or terminate an account for material breach, deceptive or unlawful promotion, brand misuse, fraud, security risk, repeated non-compliance, inactivity, or conduct reasonably likely to cause harm. On suspension or termination, stop representing yourself as an Affiliate and remove Program promotions when requested.
Subject to law, valid Approved commissions earned before termination remain eligible after refunds, adjustments, investigations, and amounts owed are resolved. Prohibited or invalid activity is not payable. Provisions that should reasonably survive continue after termination.
18. Confidential information
Non-public Program, customer, business, security, reporting, product, promotional, and account information is confidential. Use it only for authorized participation, protect it reasonably, and disclose it only when legally required. Public information, information lawfully known without restriction, and independently developed information are excluded.
19. Program changes
Tides Peps may prospectively update the Program, commission plans, eligible products, tracking, brand rules, and this Agreement. Material changes will be communicated through the account, website, or email and apply from the stated effective date. If you do not agree, stop promoting and end participation before the change takes effect.
20. Disclaimers
Except where prohibited by law, the Program, dashboard, links, reporting, and materials are provided “as is” and “as available.” Tides Peps does not guarantee uninterrupted tracking, traffic, acceptance, earnings, conversions, inventory, or continued Program operation. Nothing supplied through the Program is medical, legal, financial, or tax advice.
21. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data arising from the Program. Tides Peps’s aggregate Program liability will not exceed valid unpaid Approved commissions owed during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim. Liability that cannot legally be limited remains unaffected.
22. Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tides Peps and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, penalties, losses, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your promotional content, unlawful messages, unsupported claims, privacy or intellectual-property violations, taxes, breach, negligence, or wilful misconduct.
23. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to mandatory law, courts located in Kelowna, British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, the parties will make a good-faith effort for at least 30 days to resolve it through written notice to the Program contact.
24. General terms
You may not assign this Agreement without written consent. Tides Peps may assign it in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, sale, or Program transfer. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as necessary and the remainder continues. Electronic records and acceptance are valid. This Agreement, the application, Privacy Policy, and written account-specific terms form the entire Program agreement.
25. Contact
Questions, notices, and requests concerning the Program should be submitted through the Contact Us page.
