Affiliate Program Terms

This Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) governs your participation in the RealInfluencer Affiliate Program. It is a separate agreement that incorporates, and is subject to, the Company’s Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”) by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined here — including “Company” (Real Influencer Studios LLC, a Missouri limited liability company, d/b/a RealInfluencer), “Service,” “Output,” and “User” — have the meanings given in the Terms. If this Agreement and the Terms conflict, the Terms control except on matters this Agreement expressly governs for the Program.

1. The Agreement

1.1 The Program

The “Program” is the Company’s affiliate program, under which an approved participant earns commissions for referring new paying customers to the Service.

This Agreement governs only that. It is not about promoting third-party products. Using the Service to make content that promotes someone else’s product through your own third-party affiliate links is a separate activity that the Service permits under Section 8.4 of the Terms, where you are the sole advertiser and the commission comes from that third party — not from the Company. The two can be run at the same time and neither affects the other. Nothing in this Agreement entitles you to a commission on a third party’s product, and nothing in Section 8.4 entitles you to a Program commission.

1.2 Definitions

• “Affiliate” (also “you”) means an individual or entity approved to participate in the Program.
• “Referred Customer” means a person or entity who creates a Service account through your Tracking Link or Tracking Code and is bound to you under Section 2.5.
• “Commissionable Revenue” has the meaning in Section 2.2.
• “Tracking Link” and “Tracking Code” mean the unique referral link and the branded referral code the Company issues to you to attribute Referred Customers.

1.3 Enrollment

Enrollment requires (a) a free Service account and (b) acceptance of this Agreement. Purchasing a subscription or any paid feature is never a precondition to enrolling or to earning commissions. The Company may approve or decline any applicant and may set reasonable eligibility criteria.

1.4 Relationship

You are an independent contractor. This Agreement creates no agency, partnership, employment, franchise, or joint venture, and you have no authority to bind the Company, speak for it, or make representations on its behalf.

2. Commissions

2.1 Commission rate

The Company pays you a commission of twenty-five percent (25%) of Commissionable Revenue from each Referred Customer’s paid subscription to the Service, recurring for the window in Section 2.4. This is a single flat rate across all subscription tiers. Tiers are referenced by name; subscription prices are set at the point of sale and may change, and the Company may adjust the commission rate prospectively under Section 6.3.

2.2 Commissionable Revenue

“Commissionable Revenue” means subscription revenue actually collected and kept by the Company from a Referred Customer, net of discounts (including any discount from a branded code under Section 2.9), refunds, and chargebacks. It is never the list or sticker price. Commission is calculated on what the Company actually receives.

2.3 What does not earn commission

No commission is payable on (a) credit-pack or other one-time credit purchases, or (b) metered or usage-based developer API charges. These are near-cost items outside the commission base. A Referred Customer’s base subscription earns commission under Section 2.1; that same customer’s credit-pack and metered-usage spend does not.

2.4 Commission window

Commission accrues on each qualifying subscription payment a Referred Customer makes during the twelve (12) months following that customer’s first paid invoice. The window starts when they first pay, not when they sign up, so time spent on a free account never consumes it. After twelve months from that first payment, no further commission accrues on that Referred Customer.

2.5 Attribution (signup-locked)

A Referred Customer is bound to the referring Affiliate at the Referred Customer’s account signup, and stays bound for the commission window regardless of device or cookie loss. A pre-signup tracking cookie is set for ninety (90) days from your referral touch; where a cookie and a signup-lock conflict, the signup-lock controls.

2.6 Payout floor and schedule

Commissions are paid once your cleared, payable balance reaches fifty U.S. dollars ($50). Payouts are made monthly on a fixed date through the Company’s payout provider.

When payouts begin. The monthly payout cycle starts once the Company’s payout provider is live for the Program. Until then commission continues to accrue to your balance and nothing is forfeited — the schedule above describes when payments are made, not a cycle that has already begun.

2.7 Tax collection

The payout provider collects a Form W-9 (U.S.) or W-8BEN (non-U.S.) before any payout and issues tax forms as required by law. You are responsible for all taxes on your commissions.

2.8 Refund hold; clawback

A commission is not payable until a hold has passed after the underlying payment clears. The hold exists because a card payment can be reversed by the cardholder’s bank months after it settles, and it runs on two tiers, so it only slows you down once:

• Your first payout: sixty (60) days. This is a one-time verification period that applies while you have no payment history with us.
• Every payout after that: thirty (30) days. Once you have been paid once, all later commissions move to the faster schedule automatically. You do not have to ask, and it does not reset.

If a payment is later refunded or charged back, the associated commission does not accrue, and any commission already paid on it may be clawed back against your future balance or invoiced to you.

2.9 Payout in branded discount codes (elective)

You may elect to take payout as a branded Company discount code that both discounts the Service for your audience and credits your commission balance, instead of cash (default discount: 20% for the referred customer). Cash payout through the payout provider remains available at your election.

3. The Two Program Rules

3.1 These two rules are material

Breach of either voids all unpaid commissions and results in removal from the Program.

3.2 Rule 1: No paid ads on Company brand terms; no paid traffic to Tracking Links

You may not run paid advertising (including Meta, Google, TikTok, or Apple Search) that bids on or targets “RealInfluencer,” “Real Influencer,” or any Company brand or near-brand term, and you may not direct paid traffic to any Tracking Link. The Program rewards owned-audience content, not paid arbitrage on the Company’s brand.

3.3 Rule 2: FTC-compliant disclosure on every promotional post

Every promotional post must carry a clear and conspicuous disclosure of your material connection to the Company (for example “#ad” or “paid partner”), placed so an ordinary viewer cannot miss it and consistent with the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255, as revised 2023), which require disclosure of any material connection an ordinary viewer would not expect. In addition, any Affiliate account that is itself an AI-generated persona must also self-disclose as AI-generated.

Anyone who appears to be an ordinary, unaffiliated customer recommending the Service must actually be one. Posing as an unaffiliated customer, or posting a fake or undisclosed endorsement, is grounds for immediate removal and can carry civil penalties — up to $53,088 per violation, the FTC’s inflation-adjusted maximum under 15 U.S.C. § 45(m)(1)(A), which reaches knowing violations of the FTC’s Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials (16 CFR Part 465). That figure was set by the adjustment effective January 17, 2025 and remains operative because the 2026 inflation adjustment was cancelled; re-verified July 27, 2026. The disclosure language pack in Section 8 makes compliance the path of least resistance; using it does not relieve you of the underlying legal duty as the advertiser and endorser.

4. Earnings Claims

4.1 No income claims without substantiation. You may not make any earnings, income, or performance claim about the Program or the Service without competent, reliable substantiation in your possession before the claim is made.

4.2 No typical-earnings representations. You may not represent “typical,” average, or expected earnings.

4.3 No guarantee. The Company makes no earnings guarantee and does not authorize you to make one on its behalf.

5. Program Tiers and Materials

5.1 Program tiers

The Company may offer optional Program tiers with additional tools or arrangements — for example a creator-loop promotional tool that mints Company-labeled promo content with your Tracking Link and a disclosure auto-attached, or operator arrangements in which the Company supplies content you distribute from labeled accounts. Tier availability and terms are set by the Company and may change.

5.2 Licensed materials

Any creative, template, clip, code, or copy the Company supplies for Program promotion (the “Materials,” including the swipe-pack and the disclosure pack in Section 8) is licensed to you under a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license, for the sole purpose of promoting the Service under this Agreement. The Company may revoke the license at any time. You obtain no ownership of the Materials or of any Company mark.

5.3 Auto-attached disclosures may not be removed

Where the Company auto-attaches a disclosure (such as “#ad” or an AI-generated label) to supplied Materials or to minted promo content, you may not remove, obscure, or defeat it.

5.4 Operator accounts are labeled

An operator-tier account that distributes Company-supplied content must be openly labeled as made with or affiliated with the Service and must never be presented as an unaffiliated person. Operator accounts remain fully subject to Rule 2 (Section 3.3), the Terms, and the AUP.

6. Term, Termination, and Changes

6.1 Term

This Agreement begins when you enroll and continues until terminated.

6.2 Termination

Either party may terminate at any time, with or without cause. On termination, commissions that have accrued, cleared the refund hold, and become payable through the termination date are paid on the normal schedule; no commission accrues on activity after termination.

6.3 Changes

The Company may modify the Program or this Agreement prospectively with reasonable notice (for example, by posting an updated version or notifying you). Continued participation after the effective date is acceptance. Changes do not reduce commissions already accrued.

6.4 Fraud

Self-referral (referring yourself or purchasing through your own Tracking Code), farming disposable or fake accounts, code abuse, incentivized or misrepresented signups, and any manipulation of attribution void the associated commissions and are grounds for immediate termination.

7. General

7.1 Incorporation of the Terms and AUP

The Terms and the AUP are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and bind all Program activity and all content you create, post, or distribute under the Program. A violation of the Terms or the AUP is a violation of this Agreement.

7.2 Platform content rules

All Program content is subject to the Service’s content rules, including the disclosed-AI, no-real-person-likeness, and no-sexually-explicit-content rules in the Terms and the AUP.

7.3 Governing law and disputes

The governing law, venue, and dispute-resolution provisions of the Terms — including Missouri governing law, the AAA binding individual arbitration agreement, and the class-action waiver — govern any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Program.

7.4 Liability allocation

The limitation of liability and your indemnification of the Company in the Terms apply to the Program and allocate liability between the parties for Program activity, including your promotional content, claims, disclosures, and use of Tracking Links, Tracking Codes, and Materials.

7.5 Independent obligations

Your disclosure and advertising-law obligations are your own as the advertiser and endorser. Nothing the Company supplies makes the Company the advertiser, endorser, or publisher of your posts.

7.6 Assignment; entire agreement

You may not assign this Agreement without the Company’s consent; the Company may assign it. This Agreement, together with the incorporated Terms and AUP, is the entire agreement on the Program and supersedes prior Program understandings.

8. FTC Disclosure Language Pack

Copy a line verbatim and place it at the start of the caption, not buried in a hashtag block or below a “more” fold. A disclosure must be clear and conspicuous and in the same medium as the post: in a video with sound, state it out loud and show it on screen.

(a) Standard caption disclosure — pick one, place first

• “#ad”
• “Paid partner of RealInfluencer. #ad”
• “This is a paid partnership with RealInfluencer.”

Placement: the first line of the caption, before any “more” cut, never only inside a hashtag list.

(b) AI-persona self-disclosure — add when the account or creator is an AI-generated persona

• “This creator is AI-generated, made with RealInfluencer.”
• “AI persona, made with RealInfluencer. #ad”
• “I’m an AI influencer built on RealInfluencer, and this is a paid partnership.”
• “A synthetic performer appears in this ad. AI-generated, made with RealInfluencer. #ad” — the combined variant: one line carries the AI label and the “synthetic performer” disclosure that New York General Business Law § 396-b requires in advertisements from June 9, 2026.

Use in addition to, not instead of, the paid-partnership line in (a).

(c) The no-paid-ads rule, one line

“Promote with your own content only. Do not run paid ads on RealInfluencer brand terms and do not send paid traffic to your affiliate link. Breach voids commissions.”

(d) The five-item disclosure checklist — a post must clear all five

1. Is a material-connection disclosure (“#ad” / “paid partner”) in the first line of the caption, not buried in hashtags or below a fold?
2. If the post has audio and a spokesperson or persona, is the disclosure both spoken and on-screen?
3. If the account or creator is an AI persona, is it disclosed as AI-generated?
4. Does the post avoid every unsubstantiated earnings or income claim and any “typical results” language?
5. Is the poster genuinely an affiliated partner, and not posing as an unaffiliated “I just found this” customer?

Any fail: do not post. Fix it, then re-check.

9. How to reach us

10. Changes to these terms

We may update this Agreement prospectively under Section 6.3. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above, and changes never reduce commissions you have already accrued.
