This Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between SoundMarket, Inc. (“SoundMarket,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the person or entity applying to, enrolling in, accessing, or participating in the SoundMarket Affiliate Program (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”).

By applying to, enrolling in, accessing, or participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, you may not participate in the Program.

1. The Program

The SoundMarket Affiliate Program (the “Program”) allows affiliates to promote SoundMarket's subscription services using unique tracking links provided by SoundMarket or its designated affiliate platform. Subject to this Agreement, Affiliate may earn commissions on certain qualifying customer purchases attributed to Affiliate.

2. Eligibility; Enrollment; Ongoing Review

  1. The Program may be made available through automatic, streamlined, or immediate enrollment. By enrolling in or participating in the Program, Affiliate agrees to be bound by this Agreement and all applicable Program Policies.
  2. Notwithstanding any automatic or streamlined enrollment process, participation in the Program is at all times subject to SoundMarket's ongoing review and continuing eligibility requirements.
  3. Affiliate must provide accurate, complete, and current information in connection with enrollment and participation in the Program, including legal name, business name if applicable, website(s), social channels, payment details, and tax information.
  4. Affiliate must promptly update any information that becomes inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
  5. SoundMarket may, at any time and in its sole reasonable discretion, review, reject, suspend, restrict, or terminate any Affiliate account, referral source, traffic source, promotional method, referred account, or commission if SoundMarket determines that:
    1. Affiliate has violated this Agreement or any Program Policy;
    2. Affiliate has violated applicable law or platform rules;
    3. Affiliate's conduct may expose SoundMarket to legal, payment, platform, operational, or reputational risk; or
    4. the Affiliate, referral, or commission is otherwise not eligible under this Agreement.
  6. Enrollment in the Program does not create a vested right to remain in the Program, to continue using Affiliate Links, or to receive commissions except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

3. Definitions

Affiliate Link means the unique referral link, code, or other tracking mechanism made available to you by SoundMarket or its affiliate platform.

Qualified Referral means a new customer who: (a) clicks your Affiliate Link; (b) is properly tracked by SoundMarket's systems within the applicable attribution window; (c) creates an account and purchases a qualifying paid subscription to SoundMarket; (d) is not an existing or former paying customer of SoundMarket; (e) is not referred in violation of this Agreement; and (f) is accepted by SoundMarket as a valid referral.

Net Revenue means subscription revenue actually received by SoundMarket from a Qualified Referral, excluding taxes, refunds, credits, discounts, chargebacks, payment reversals, processor fees if applicable, and any amounts not ultimately collected by SoundMarket.

Commission Period means, for each Qualified Referral, the period set forth in the Commission Schedule for the applicable Program, beginning on the date a Qualified Referral first purchases a paid SoundMarket subscription.

Commission Schedule means Schedule A to this Agreement, which sets forth the commission rate, Commission Period, attribution window, minimum payout threshold, and payment frequency applicable to each Program in which Affiliate participates. SoundMarket may update the Commission Schedule from time to time in accordance with Section 18.

Program Policies means any additional affiliate policies, brand guidelines, promotional guidelines, payment rules, or platform terms that SoundMarket provides or makes available to Affiliate from time to time.

5. Commissions

  1. Subject to this Agreement, SoundMarket will pay Affiliate, on each Qualified Referral during the applicable Commission Period, the commission rate set forth in the Commission Schedule for the applicable Program, applied to Net Revenue actually received by SoundMarket.
  2. The Commission Period for each Qualified Referral is set forth in the Commission Schedule for the applicable Program, measured from the date of the Qualified Referral's initial paid subscription.
  3. No commission is earned unless and until the underlying referral and transaction have been validated by SoundMarket.
  4. SoundMarket may withhold, deny, reverse, offset, or claw back commissions associated with any referral or transaction that SoundMarket determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, is invalid, fraudulent, deceptive, noncompliant, refunded, reversed, charged back, self-referred, improperly attributed, or otherwise ineligible under this Agreement.
  5. Unless otherwise expressly approved in writing by SoundMarket, commissions are not payable on:
    1. taxes;
    2. refunds, partial refunds, credits, or chargebacks;
    3. fraudulent transactions;
    4. free trials, free plans, test accounts, internal accounts, or sandbox accounts;
    5. subscriptions obtained through self-referrals or prohibited conduct;
    6. accounts that fail to remain in good standing;
    7. renewals or purchases outside the Commission Period; or
    8. any revenue not actually received by SoundMarket.
  6. Enrollment in the Program, issuance of an Affiliate Link, or appearance of referral activity in an affiliate dashboard does not guarantee that any commission is earned or payable.
  7. SoundMarket will not owe more than one commission on the same customer or transaction unless SoundMarket expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
  8. SoundMarket reserves the right to modify commission rates, qualifying products, attribution rules, and program structure at any time in accordance with Section 18.

6. Payment Terms

  1. Commissions, if any, are generally calculated monthly and paid within 30 days after the end of each calendar month, subject to validation, fraud review, and this Agreement.
  2. The minimum payout threshold set forth in the Commission Schedule applies. If your accrued payable commissions do not meet the threshold, they will roll over to the next payment cycle.
  3. Payment methods may include PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, or other methods designated by SoundMarket from time to time.
  4. You are solely responsible for maintaining complete and accurate payout and tax information. SoundMarket may withhold payment until all required payment and tax documentation has been provided.
  5. SoundMarket may withhold, delay, or place on hold any payment while investigating suspected fraud, abuse, invalid traffic, disclosure failures, trademark violations, self-referrals, or other conduct that may violate this Agreement.
  6. If SoundMarket determines that commissions were previously paid on ineligible transactions, SoundMarket may offset those amounts against future commissions or require repayment to the extent permitted by law.
  7. SoundMarket may offset any amounts owed by Affiliate to SoundMarket against commissions otherwise payable to Affiliate.
  8. Affiliate is solely responsible for all taxes, duties, levies, fees, bank fees, transfer fees, and other charges arising from commissions paid under this Agreement. If SoundMarket is legally required to withhold taxes, SoundMarket may do so.

7. Affiliate Obligations

  1. You will promote SoundMarket in a lawful, truthful, professional, and brand-safe manner.
  2. You will not make any false, misleading, deceptive, unsubstantiated, or disparaging statements about SoundMarket, its services, pricing, licenses, legal coverage, or business.

  5. Where required by applicable law or guidance, including FTC endorsement rules, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship with SoundMarket, including that you may earn commissions from qualifying purchases.
  6. You are responsible for your websites, channels, content, media buys, promotions, and all materials used in connection with the Program.

8. Prohibited Conduct

Affiliate acknowledges that because enrollment may occur automatically or with limited pre-screening, strict compliance with this Agreement is a condition of continued participation in the Program and of any right to receive commissions.

  1. engage in false, misleading, or deceptive advertising;
  2. send spam or unsolicited email, SMS, direct messages, or other communications in violation of law;
