Version 1.0 · Effective: {{FACT_PENDING}}
{{FACT_PENDING}} and will be finalised before RankCause
accepts partner applications under this version. Apply to the
programme and we’ll send you the executed agreement to
countersign.
This Agreement is between RankCause (“Company”, “we”) and the individual or entity who applies to and is accepted into the RankCause Partner Programme (“Partner”, “you”). Acceptance occurs when we approve your application; at that point you are bound by this Agreement.
Partner earns a one-time commission for each Qualifying Customer, calculated on the first paid subscription payment received by Company from that customer, at the following rates:
The commission is paid once, per customer, ever. It is not a recurring or monthly kickback. Company may add new pricing tiers in the future; the rate applied to a given plan will be published on this page and in the partner dashboard.
The Qualifying Customer’s first successful subscription payment to Company, net of: refunds, chargebacks, transaction fees (Stripe / Coinbase), and any promotional discount codes applied at checkout.
A new RankCause account that (a) was created through the Partner’s tracked referral link within the cookie window described in §2.4, (b) converts to a paid plan, and (c) was not already a RankCause customer or trialist in the preceding 12 months.
Referral attribution uses a 60-day last-click cookie. If a prospective
customer clicks two partner links, the most recent click wins. Technical detail: cookie name
is aff_ref, SameSite=Lax, 30-day browser TTL refreshed on each click up to the
60-day attribution window.
Commission is calculated on the last day of each calendar month and paid out on or before the 15th of the following month, once the following conditions are met:
Amounts below the $200 threshold roll forward to the next month. Partner can request a smaller payout at any time via the dashboard, subject to processor fees.
Partner may promote RankCause through honest, disclosed methods including: personal blog/newsletter content, organic social media, podcast sponsorships, YouTube reviews, consulting client recommendations, conference talks, and paid content clearly marked as sponsored.
Partner must include an affiliate disclosure wherever an affiliate link appears, in compliance with FTC, CAP, and equivalent jurisdictional rules.
Partner may use the “RankCause” name, logo, and screenshots strictly as provided in the Partner Media Kit, unmodified, for the purpose of promoting the Partner Programme. Any other use requires prior written permission.
Company retains all rights to its brand, marks, and product. Partner retains all rights to Partner’s own content.
Partner may receive non-public product information (roadmap, pricing tests, beta features). Partner agrees not to disclose such information to third parties without prior written consent. Public roadmap items and shipped features are not confidential.
This Agreement is effective on approval of Partner’s application and continues until terminated by either party.
Either party may terminate for convenience with 30 days’ written notice. Company may terminate immediately for: breach of Section 5 (prohibited methods), fraudulent activity, or material damage to Company’s reputation.
On termination, (a) tracking links are deactivated; (b) Partner continues to earn commission on previously Qualifying Customers for the remainder of their 12-month window, unless termination was for cause under Section 5, in which case unpaid commission is forfeited.
Company may modify commission rates, cookie window, or these terms with 30 days’ written notice to active partners. Changes apply to new Qualifying Customers acquired after the effective date of the change; previously-Qualifying Customers continue under the terms in force at the time they qualified.
Disputes will first be addressed in good faith via email to {{FACT_PENDING}}. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes are governed by the law of {{FACT_PENDING}} and resolved by the courts of that jurisdiction.
Partner is an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or joint-venturer of Company. Partner is responsible for their own tax reporting. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement and supersedes prior discussions.
