Affiliate Program Terms

These Affiliate Program Terms (“Affiliate Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “your”, “the Affiliate”) and Red Bag Productions (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”), governing your participation in the Red Bag Productions Affiliate Program (“the Program”).

The Program allows approved participants to earn commissions by referring new customers to Red Bag Productions products and services, including premium membership websites, eBook stores, and digital software products. By applying to or participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by these Affiliate Terms in addition to our general Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Affiliate Terms at any time. Changes will be communicated via email to the address associated with your affiliate account or posted on this page. Your continued participation in the Program after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2.1 Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible to participate in the Program, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
• Own or operate a website, blog, social media account, email list, or other digital platform through which you intend to promote our products.
• Have a valid PayPal account capable of receiving payments in your country of residence.
• Not reside in or operate from a country subject to comprehensive trade sanctions or embargoes.
• Not have been previously terminated from the Program for breach of these Affiliate Terms.

2.2 Application Process

To join the Program, you must submit an application through our affiliate portal. Applications require your full name, email address, website or platform URL, a description of your promotional methods, and your PayPal email address for commission payments. We review all applications and reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion without providing a reason.

2.3 Approval

Applications are typically reviewed within one (1) business day, during the approval process you are able to begin promoting the programs affiliate offers. Upon approval, your account will be activated for payments and you will receive a confirmation email that your account is live and able to accept affiliate commission payments. Account approval may be revoked at any time if we later determine that you do not meet the eligibility requirements or have provided false information in your application.

2.4 One Account Per Affiliate

Each individual or entity may maintain only one affiliate account. Creating multiple accounts to exploit the Program, manipulate commissions, or circumvent these Affiliate Terms may result in immediate termination and forfeiture of all accrued commissions. If you require additional affiliate accounts, please contact our support team to arrange this.

3.1 Referral Links

Upon approval, you will be provided with unique referral links (“Affiliate Links”) that contain your affiliate tracking ID. You must use these Affiliate Links for all promotional activities to ensure that referrals are properly attributed to your account. We are not responsible for tracking or crediting referrals made through links that do not contain your valid affiliate ID.

3.2 Cookie Duration

When a visitor clicks your Affiliate Link, a tracking cookie is placed on their device. The cookie has a duration of ninety (90) days from the date of the initial click. If the visitor makes a qualifying purchase within this 90-day window, the sale will be attributed to you and a commission will be earned. If the visitor clears their cookies, uses a different device, or the cookie expires before a purchase is made, the referral will not be tracked.

3.3 Last-Click Attribution

We operate a last-click attribution model. This means that if a visitor clicks multiple Affiliate Links from different affiliates before making a purchase, the commission is awarded to the affiliate whose link was clicked most recently before the transaction was completed.

3.4 Tracking Accuracy

While we make every reasonable effort to ensure accurate tracking, we do not guarantee that all referrals will be tracked. Factors beyond our control, such as browser privacy settings, ad blockers, VPN usage, cookie restrictions, and third-party browser extensions, may interfere with tracking. We shall not be liable for any missed or untracked referrals caused by such factors.

3.5 Link Integrity

You must not alter, modify, cloak, redirect, or otherwise manipulate Affiliate Links in a way that obscures the referral source, bypasses cookie tracking, or interferes with accurate attribution. URL shorteners (such as bit.ly, TinyURL, or similar services) may be used provided they do not strip or modify tracking parameters. We reserve the right to void commissions generated through manipulated or improperly formatted links.

4.1 Commission Rates

Commission rates vary by product and program. The applicable commission rate for each product is displayed in your affiliate dashboard and on the relevant program page. We reserve the right to adjust commission rates at any time. If we reduce a commission rate, we will provide at least fourteen (14) days’ advance notice via email or within the affiliate dashboard.

4.2 Qualifying Sales

A “Qualifying Sale” is a completed purchase made by a new customer who was referred through your valid Affiliate Link, where:

• The customer arrived at our website via your Affiliate Link and the tracking cookie was active at the time of purchase.
• The customer was not already an existing customer of Red Bag Productions for the specific product purchased.
• The transaction was not subsequently refunded, charged back, disputed, or cancelled.
• The purchase was made in accordance with our Terms of Service.
• The referral was not generated through prohibited methods as described in Section 6 of these Affiliate Terms.

4.3 Recurring Commissions

For products that offer recurring commissions (such as premium memberships and software subscriptions), you will continue to earn commissions on recurring payments made by your referred customer for as long as the customer maintains an active, paid subscription. Recurring commissions cease if the customer cancels, downgrades to a free tier, or if their payments lapse. Recurring commission rates and eligibility are specified in your affiliate dashboard.

4.4 Commission Exclusions

Commissions are not earned on:

• Purchases you make for yourself or for accounts you own or control (self-referrals).
• Purchases made by your immediate family members, employees, or business partners if the primary purpose is to generate affiliate commissions.
• Transactions that are subsequently refunded, reversed, or charged back.
• Free trials, free products, or products obtained through coupon codes not specifically issued to you.
• Purchases where the tracking cookie was not present or had expired.
• Sales generated through any prohibited promotional method outlined in Section 6.
• Transactions flagged as fraudulent by our systems or payment processors.

4.5 Commission Adjustments

We reserve the right to adjust, withhold, or reclaim commissions if we determine, in our reasonable judgement, that the commissions were earned through fraudulent activity, violations of these Affiliate Terms, technical errors, or other circumstances that would render the commissions invalid. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any adjustments and the reasons for them.

5.1 Payment Method

All affiliate commissions are paid via PayPal. You must maintain a valid, active PayPal account and ensure that the PayPal email address on file in your affiliate dashboard is correct and capable of receiving payments. We are not responsible for payments sent to an incorrect PayPal address provided by you.

5.2 Minimum Payout Threshold

Commissions are paid once your accrued balance reaches the minimum payout threshold of fifty pounds (£50.00), or the equivalent in your local currency. If your balance does not reach the minimum threshold in a given pay period, it will carry over to the following period.

5.3 Payment Schedule

Payments are processed on a monthly basis, typically within the first fifteen (15) days of the month following the month in which commissions were earned. All commissions are subject to a thirty (30) day holding period from the date of the qualifying transaction before they become eligible for payout. This holding period allows for refunds, chargebacks, and disputes to be resolved before commissions are finalised.

5.4 Taxes

You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes, duties, or levies arising from commissions you receive through the Program, including income tax, self-employment tax, VAT, or any other applicable taxes in your jurisdiction. Red Bag Productions does not withhold taxes on affiliate payouts unless required by law. We may request tax identification information or documentation (such as a W-8BEN or equivalent) before processing payments, as required by applicable regulations.

5.5 Disputed Payments

If you believe a commission payment is incorrect, you must notify us in writing within ten (10) days of the payment date. We will investigate the matter and make any necessary corrections. Claims submitted after ten (10) days may not be considered.

5.6 Inactive Accounts

If your affiliate account generates no qualifying sales and has no accrued commission balance for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, we may classify your account as inactive. Inactive accounts may be closed and any remaining balance below the minimum payout threshold will be forfeited. We will notify you via email at least thirty (30) days before closing an inactive account.

As an affiliate, you must promote Red Bag Productions products in an honest, ethical, and lawful manner. The following promotional methods and activities are strictly prohibited:

• Running paid search ads that directly link to our website using your Affiliate Link as the destination URL.

• Employing any technique that artificially triggers affiliate tracking without a genuine referral click.
