Aedan Rose Affiliate Program Agreement
Version affiliate-terms-v3-2026-07-21 · Effective July 21, 2026 ·
Accepted electronically at affiliate signup (versioned and timestamped). These Terms supplement, and
are in addition to, the
Aedan Rose Terms of Service and
Privacy Policy.
1. Binding Agreement; Acceptance (Clickwrap)
These Affiliate Program Terms (this “Agreement” or these “Terms”) govern participation in the Aedan Rose Affiliate Program (the “Program”) operated by Aedan Rose (“Aedan Rose,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). You (“you,” “your,” or the “Affiliate”) and the Company are each a “party” and together the “parties.”
- You must read these Terms in full. They are presented to you at signup and are available at all times at /affiliate-terms.
- Clickwrap acceptance. By checking the acceptance box and completing signup, you agree to the specific version of these Terms identified by the version string shown at signup and in the footer below. Your acceptance is recorded electronically with that version string and a timestamp, which together constitute your signature to this Agreement.
- Participation is acceptance. Enrolling in, accessing, promoting through, or otherwise participating in the Program also constitutes your acceptance of these Terms (and of any amended version then in effect under Section 17). If you do not agree, you must not enroll in or participate in the Program.
- Authority. If you accept on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.
2. Definitions
3. Eligibility
To enroll and participate you must, and you represent and warrant that you:
- are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
- maintain one account per person or entity; duplicate, overlapping, or synthetic accounts are prohibited and may be disabled;
- provide accurate, current, and complete registration and payout information, and keep it updated (including your legal name, email, tax identity, and Stripe details);
- are not a prohibited or restricted party — you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and you are not on any government denied-party, sanctions, or watch list; and
- will comply with all laws applicable to your participation (Section 9).
Attribution & tracking (flagged for counsel). A visitor who clicks your Affiliate Link may be attributed to you via a first-party cookie and local-storage record for a defined window; a Code entered at signup overrides a cookie; between affiliates, last touch wins; and attribution is fixed at signup and permanent thereafter. Our server-side click and signup logs are the authoritative record.
4. Enrollment, Approval & Program Discretion
- Approval at sole discretion. Enrollment and continued participation are subject to the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. Automatic approval at signup, where offered, is a convenience and does not limit the rights in this Section.
- Refusal. We may refuse or decline any application or enrollment for any reason or no reason.
- Suspension, disabling, cancellation & termination — at any time. The Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion, suspend, disable, restrict, cancel, or terminate any affiliate account (yours or any other), or suspend, modify, or discontinue the entire Program, in whole or in part, at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice, and with or without cause.
- No cure period owed. Except where a non-waivable law requires otherwise, the Company is not obligated to provide any advance notice, warning, opportunity to cure, or explanation before exercising the rights in this Section.
- No entitlement. Participation in the Program is a revocable privilege, not a right. You have no vested, guaranteed, or continuing right to participate, to any Commission rate, or to the continuation of the Program.
- Effect. The consequences of termination or discontinuation on Commissions and balances are set out in Sections 6 and 16.
5. Independent-Contractor Relationship
- You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement or the Program creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint-venture, or franchise relationship between you and the Company. You are not an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, or franchisee of the Company.
- No authority to bind. You have no authority to act for, bind, incur obligations on behalf of, or make representations, warranties, or commitments for the Company. You must not hold yourself out as having such authority.
- Your taxes. You are solely responsible for all taxes on your Commissions. The Company and/or Stripe may issue tax information forms (e.g., a Form 1099 series document for U.S. persons); you are responsible for reporting and filing your own taxes. The Company does not withhold taxes on your behalf.
- Your resources & conduct. You are responsible for your own equipment, tools, internet access, personnel, subcontractors, and business expenses, and for the manner, means, conduct, and results of your promotional activities.
6. Commissions
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Commission rate | 8% (800 basis points) of Net Base Subscription Revenue on a Qualifying Sale |
| Commissionable base | Base subscription payments only, net of discounts and before tax, and only from actual paid Stripe invoices (not list price) |
| Not commissionable | Add-ons and top-ups, the 3% guest checkout fee, guest order/deposit money, taxes, refunded amounts, and $0 invoices |
| Duration | Lifetime of the referred subscription, conditioned on your continued participation and Good Standing (Sections 4 & 16) |
| Hold window | [30 days] from accrual before a Commission becomes payable |
| Minimum payout | [$25] — balances below the minimum roll forward |
- Accrual on actual paid invoices. A Commission accrues only when the Company actually receives a base-subscription payment from a Referral, as evidenced by the corresponding Stripe payment event. Commissions are computed from what we were actually paid, not from list price. Clicks, signups, and trials accrue nothing; a trial pays nothing until it converts to a paid subscription.
- Follows the money. If a Referral upgrades, downgrades, applies a discount, pauses, or cancels, your Commission changes or stops accordingly.
- Reversals & clawbacks. Refunds, chargebacks, disputes resolved against the Company, and payments later deemed uncollectible generate reversing (negative) ledger entries. If a reversal follows a payout, the negative amount nets against your future Commissions; your balance may go negative, and payouts pause until it is positive again. The Company may recover (claw back) amounts already paid on reversed or fraudulent Qualifying Sales.
- No Commission after termination. Because duration is conditioned on continued participation, no new Commissions accrue after your participation ends, including from Referrals that remain subscribed. This is the agreed trade for the lifetime-duration structure.
- Forfeiture. Unpaid Commissions may be forfeited on termination for fraud or material breach, and any Commissions earned through fraud, self-referral, or attribution manipulation are void and forfeited (Sections 8 & 16).
- Prospective rate changes. The Company may change the Commission rate or other Program parameters prospectively upon reasonable notice (see Section 17). Rate changes never rewrite Commissions already accrued: each ledger entry is captured at the rate in force when it accrued.
7. Payment (Stripe Connect)
- Method. All payouts are made via Stripe Connect Express to the connected account you onboard. You must complete Stripe’s onboarding (including identity verification) and provide accurate payout and tax information before payouts can be made. Balances accrued before onboarding completes are held for you and are not forfeited by onboarding delay.
- Schedule. Payouts run monthly and include all Commissions whose Hold Window has elapsed and that meet the minimum-payout threshold; smaller balances roll forward.
- Stripe & tax matters are yours. Payouts are subject to Stripe’s terms. The Company is not liable for Stripe’s processing, verification, delays, holds, reserves, reversals, account actions, or availability, nor for your tax obligations. Your relationship with Stripe is between you and Stripe.
- Accurate information. You are responsible for keeping your payout, identity, and tax details accurate and current. Payments sent using information you provided are your responsibility.
- Currency & time. Statements and ledgers are stated in USD and use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); monthly periods are UTC calendar months.
- Unclaimed / forfeited balances. Balances that cannot be paid because you have not completed or maintained valid onboarding, or that are forfeited under this Agreement, are handled as described in Sections 6 and 16 and may be subject to applicable unclaimed-property law.
8. Prohibited Conduct
Engaging in any of the following is a material breach and grounds for immediate suspension or termination, forfeiture of affected and unpaid Commissions, clawback of amounts already paid, and potential legal action and indemnity under Section 15. You must not:
- Self-refer or buy through your own link. Refer yourself, your own restaurants, or entities in which you hold an interest; use your own Code (or arrange for it to be used) for any purchase from which you would benefit on both sides.
- Stuff cookies or commit click fraud. Cookie-stuffing; forced or automated clicks; bots; incentivized clicks; or any technique that sets attribution without a genuine, voluntary user click.
- Spam or send unsolicited messages. Unsolicited bulk email or messaging, or any promotion that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, the TCPA, or equivalent anti-spam / messaging laws.
- Bid on brand keywords. Bid on or purchase paid-search or social advertising against “Aedan Rose,” “aedanrose,” “aedanrose.ai,” or confusingly similar terms (including misspellings), or use them in ad display URLs (trademark bidding).
- Impersonate or claim to be “official.” Present yourself as the Company, an “official” Aedan Rose account, or an employee or agent of the Company; imply endorsement, partnership, or official status you do not have.
- Make false, misleading, or deceptive claims. Make income or earnings claims, invent conversion or performance statistics, misquote prices, or attribute to Aedan Rose capabilities it does not have. The public site is the single source of truth for product claims.
- Misuse Company IP or assets. Use Company IP, Brand Assets, screenshots, or content in any way not authorized by these Terms and the brand guidelines.
- Register confusingly-similar domains or handles. Register or use domains, subdomains, social handles, app names, or Codes that are confusingly similar to, or that impersonate, the Company’s marks.
- Abuse coupon/deal sites. Post Codes to coupon, deal, cashback, or loyalty sites where such placement is not expressly permitted by the Company.
- Promote on prohibited content. Promote the Program on, or from, illegal, adult/sexual, hateful, harassing, violent, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable content or platforms.
- Manipulate attribution. Interfere with, spoof, or manipulate attribution, tracking, or reporting in any way.
9. FTC & Legal Compliance
- Clear & conspicuous disclosure (your responsibility). On every promotion, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to Aedan Rose — for example with #ad, #affiliate, or “paid partnership” placed near the link — in accordance with the U.S. FTC’s Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and any equivalent rules in your jurisdiction. A plain statement such as “I earn a commission if you subscribe through my link” near the link satisfies this. Failure to disclose is a breach.
- All applicable laws & platform rules. You are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and rules applicable to your promotions, including the FTC Endorsement Guides, CAN-SPAM, the TCPA (if you text or call), GDPR / CCPA and other privacy and data-protection laws (if you collect, use, or share personal data), advertising and consumer-protection laws, and the terms, policies, and community guidelines of every platform you use (including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google, and others).
- Your claims are your own. Your disclosures, endorsements, statements, and claims are your responsibility, not the Company’s. You are responsible for ensuring they are truthful, substantiated, and non-deceptive.
10. Content & License
- Your content is your responsibility. You are solely responsible for all content you create, post, or distribute in connection with the Program, and you represent that it does not infringe or violate any third-party right or any law.
- License you grant to us. You grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to reproduce, display, and use content you submit to the Company (for example, testimonials or creative you send us), and to use your name and handle, in each case for the purpose of administering, operating, and promoting the Program. This license survives to the extent needed for records and prior use.
- License we grant to you. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the brand guidelines, the Company grants you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use only the approved Brand Assets, solely to promote Aedan Rose truthfully. You may not alter approved assets, combine them with your own marks, or use them to imply partnership or official status. This license is automatically revoked when your participation ends or upon notice from the Company.
11. Confidentiality
You may receive non-public information about the Program, including non-public Program terms, Commission rates, incentives, roadmaps, reporting, and data. You must keep such information confidential, use it only to participate in the Program, and not disclose it to third parties, except as required by law (with prompt notice to the Company where permitted). This obligation continues after your participation ends. Your handling of any personal data you encounter is also governed by Section 9 and the Privacy Policy.
12. Intellectual Property
- No ownership transfer. The Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to its intellectual property, including its names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, software, and content. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership to you; you receive only the limited license in Section 10.
- No challenge. You will not register, apply to register, use, or challenge the Company’s marks or confusingly similar marks, and you will not contest the Company’s ownership of its intellectual property.
- Brand guidelines binding. The Company’s brand and creative guidelines, as updated from time to time, are binding on your use of any Brand Assets.
13. Disclaimers
THE PROGRAM, THE DASHBOARD, THE LINKS, THE ASSETS, AND ALL RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
THE COMPANY MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF ANY CLICKS, SIGNUPS, CONVERSIONS, EARNINGS, OR INCOME. RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND VARY. ANY ILLUSTRATIVE MATH, EXAMPLES, OR EARNINGS SCENARIOS ARE ARITHMETIC ON PUBLISHED PRICES FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY AND ARE NOT A PROMISE, PROJECTION, OR GUARANTEE OF INCOME.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PROGRAM OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THE COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PROGRAM OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED [THE TOTAL COMMISSIONS PAID TO THE AFFILIATE IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM].
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this Section may not apply to you.
15. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your participation in the Program; (b) your promotions, endorsements, disclosures, content, or conduct; (c) your breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or of any representation or warranty in it; or (d) your violation of any law or of any third-party right. The Company may, at its option, participate in the defense with counsel of its choosing, and you will not settle any matter that imposes liability or an admission on the Company without its prior written consent.
16. Term, Termination & Survival
- Term. This Agreement applies from your enrollment until your participation ends.
- Termination by you. You may leave the Program at any time by closing your affiliate account. Legitimately earned, unpaid balances in Good Standing are paid at the next regular payout cycle (Hold Window and minimum still apply), after which the account is closed and your Code is permanently deactivated.
- Termination by the Company. The Company may suspend, disable, cancel, or terminate your participation, or discontinue the Program, at any time under Section 4.
- Effect of termination. On termination or discontinuation: your Links, Codes, and licenses (Section 10) terminate; no new Commissions accrue (Section 6); earned, unpaid Commissions in Good Standing are paid on the regular schedule except where forfeited for fraud or material breach; and Commissions earned through fraud, self-referral, or attribution manipulation are void, forfeited, and subject to clawback.
- Survival. The following survive termination or expiration: Sections 5 (independent contractor), 6 (as to reversals, forfeiture, and clawback), 8, 9, 10 (as to the license you grant and revocation of the license to you), 11 (confidentiality), 12 (IP), 13 (disclaimers), 14 (limitation of liability), 15 (indemnification), 16.6 (program-termination payout guarantee), 18 (governing law & dispute resolution), and 19 (general) — together with any other provision that by its nature should survive.
16.6 Program Termination — 3-Month Payout Guarantee
If the Company terminates or discontinues the entire Affiliate Program (a “Program Termination”), Affiliates who are in Good Standing as of the termination effective date will continue to receive their earned recurring Commissions for three (3) additional months following the termination effective date — that is, three (3) more monthly payment cycles of Commissions from their already-referred restaurants’ qualifying base-subscription payments. After that three-month tail, the Program and all of the Company’s payout obligations under this Agreement end.
- Good Standing only. This guarantee applies only to Affiliates in Good Standing (Section 2) at the termination effective date. It does not apply to any Affiliate terminated or suspended for cause — including fraud, self-referral, attribution manipulation, or material breach (Sections 8 & 16). Affiliates terminated for cause forfeit unpaid and fraud-tainted balances and remain subject to clawback under the existing forfeiture clause; they receive no grace tail.
- Accrual stops at the termination effective date. Consistent with Section 6, no new Commissions accrue after the termination effective date. The three-month guarantee pays out (a) Commissions already earned and payable and (b) Commissions from the referred restaurants’ monthly base-subscription payments received during the three grace cycles — nothing accrues beyond that tail.
- Same payout mechanics. Each grace-period payout runs on the regular monthly schedule and remains subject to the existing Commission and payout mechanics — the Hold Window, the minimum payout threshold, valid Stripe Connect onboarding, and reversals/clawbacks for refunds, chargebacks, or fraud (Sections 6 & 7). The guarantee does not waive any of those conditions.
- Full stop after the tail. After the three-month grace period ends, the Program is fully wound down: no further Commissions accrue, no further payouts are owed, and all of the Company’s payout obligations under this Agreement terminate. Balances that remain unpayable because valid Stripe onboarding was never completed are handled under Sections 6, 7, and applicable unclaimed-property law.
- Individual-account closure is different. This 16.6 guarantee covers a Program-wide termination. Closure or termination of an individual affiliate account is governed by the rest of Section 16 (earned, unpaid balances in Good Standing are paid on the regular schedule; for-cause forfeits apply).
17. Modification of These Terms
The Company may amend these Terms at any time. When we do, we will post the updated version with a new version string and effective date at /affiliate-terms and, for material changes, provide notice (for example by email or in-dashboard). Your continued participation in the Program after the effective date of an amended version constitutes your acceptance of it. If you do not agree to an amendment, your remedy is to stop participating and close your account. Amendments apply prospectively and never rewrite Commissions already accrued.
18. Governing Law, Venue & Dispute Resolution
- Governing law & venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of [STATE / COUNTRY — e.g., the State of [___], United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules], and the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration is [the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY, STATE]].
- Binding arbitration. Except as counsel finalizes, any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Program will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by [ARBITRAL FORUM & RULES — e.g., the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules], seated in [SEAT/LOCATION], rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where eligible.
- Class-action waiver. To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis, and you and the Company waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. [CONFIRM ENFORCEABILITY / SEVERABILITY OF THE CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IN THE GOVERNING JURISDICTION]
19. General Provisions
- Relationship of the parties. The parties are independent contractors (Section 5); this Agreement creates no employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture.
- No third-party beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties only and creates no rights in any third party, except that the Company’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents are intended beneficiaries of the disclaimer, limitation-of-liability, and indemnification provisions.
- Assignment. The Company may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any account, Code, or right under it without the Company’s prior written consent; any attempted transfer in violation of this Section is void.
- Force majeure. The Company is not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, outages, or failures of third-party services (including Stripe or hosting providers).
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
- Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the documents it references (including the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and brand guidelines), is the entire agreement regarding the Program and supersedes prior understandings on the subject.
- No waiver. The Company’s failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it or of any other provision.
- Notices. The Company may give you notices by email to your registered address, by posting to your dashboard, or by posting to this page. You may reach the Company at the contact below.
- Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
- Contact. Questions about these Terms or your account: help@aedanrose.ai.
