Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

3a. Commission Rates

Approved affiliates earn a percentage-based commission on each qualifying sale referred through their unique tracking link or coupon code. The default commission rate is 10% of the purchase price. Commission rates may vary by product, promotion, or individual affiliate agreement, and we reserve the right to modify rates at any time with reasonable notice.

3b. Qualifying Sales

For a sale to be eligible for a commission, all of the following conditions must be met:

• The customer must click your unique affiliate tracking link or use your assigned coupon code before completing their purchase.
• The purchase must occur within 90 days of the customer's initial click on your affiliate link (the "cookie window").
• The customer must be a new customer making a first-time purchase of the referred product, unless otherwise specified.
• The transaction must not be refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed.
• The sale must not result from a self-referral (see Section 6 for details).

3c. Attribution

We use a "last click wins" attribution model. This means that if a customer clicks on multiple affiliate links before making a purchase, the commission is awarded to the affiliate whose link was clicked most recently before the sale. We determine commission eligibility in our sole discretion and our tracking system is the authoritative record for all referral activity.

5a. Payment Schedule

Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, on a Net-30 cycle. This means commissions earned in a given month are processed and paid approximately 30 days after the close of that month. For example, commissions earned in March would be paid at the end of April. This 30-day hold period allows time for refund processing and transaction verification.

5b. Minimum Payout Threshold

You must accumulate at least $100 in earned commissions before a payout is processed. If your balance does not meet this threshold at the end of a payment cycle, your earnings will roll over to the next month. Commissions are never forfeited due to being below the threshold; they will continue to accumulate.

5c. Payment Methods

Payments are made via digital payment methods, which may include PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo. You are responsible for providing accurate payment information and keeping it up to date. Any transaction fees charged by your payment provider are your responsibility.

5d. Adjustments and Clawbacks

If a customer receives a refund, initiates a chargeback, or if a transaction is otherwise reversed after a commission has been earned or paid, we reserve the right to deduct the corresponding commission from your current balance or from future commission payments.

6a. Paid Search and Brand Bidding

• Bid on, purchase, or otherwise use our brand name, trademarks, product names, or any variations or misspellings thereof (including "Real Estate AI Institute," "Real Estate AI," "REAI," or any similar terms) as keywords in any pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platform, including but not limited to Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads, and similar services.
• Create paid advertisements that could be confused with our official advertising or that use our brand name in ad copy, display URLs, or landing pages without prior written approval.

6b. Spam and Unsolicited Communications

• Send unsolicited bulk email (spam) promoting our products or your affiliate link.
• Send unsolicited text messages, direct messages, or other electronic communications promoting our products.
• Post your affiliate link or coupon code in comment sections, forums, or social media groups in a way that violates the platform's terms of service or community guidelines.
• Use any form of automated messaging, bots, or scripts to distribute your affiliate link.

6c. Misleading or Deceptive Practices

• Make false, exaggerated, or misleading claims about our products, services, pricing, or results.
• Guarantee specific income, business results, or outcomes from using our training programs. You may share documented results and testimonials, but you must not present them as guaranteed or typical results.
• Create content that falsely implies an official partnership, employment relationship, joint venture, or endorsement by Real Estate AI Institute beyond your role as an affiliate.
• Use fake reviews, fabricated testimonials, or misleading comparison content.

6d. Fraud and Technical Manipulation

• Engage in cookie stuffing, click fraud, bot traffic, or any other technique designed to artificially inflate clicks, impressions, or conversions.
• Attempt to intercept, redirect, or hijack traffic intended for our website or for other affiliates.
• Manipulate tracking systems, referral data, or commission reporting in any way.
• Refer yourself, your own business, your immediate family members, or any entity you own or control in order to earn commissions (self-referrals). Self-referral commissions will be reversed and may result in account termination.

6e. Inappropriate Content and Placement

• Promote our products on websites or platforms that contain pornography, graphic violence, hate speech, illegal content, or content that promotes discrimination of any kind.
• Promote our products on websites or platforms that primarily feature gambling, drugs, alcohol, or weapons.
• Promote our products using adware, spyware, malware, or any software that installs on a user's device without their explicit consent.

6f. Sub-Affiliate Networks

• If you create your own promotional content, you must clearly identify it as your own and include proper affiliate disclosure (see Section 8).

If you wish to create custom marketing materials featuring our brand, you must submit them for review and receive written approval before publishing or distributing them.

8a. Disclosure Standards

Your disclosure must be clear and conspicuous, prominent, written in plain language, and present in every piece of content that includes your affiliate link or promotes our products.

8b. Acceptable Disclosure Examples

• "I am an affiliate of Real Estate AI Institute and may earn a referral fee for purchases made through my link."

Failure to include proper FTC disclosures is a violation of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination of your affiliate account.

11a. Termination by Either Party

Either party may terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time, for any reason, by providing written notice via email.

11b. Termination for Cause

11c. Effect of Termination

Voluntary or no-cause termination: Any earned commissions meeting the $100 minimum threshold will be paid on the next regular payment cycle. Commissions below the threshold will be forfeited.

Termination for cause: All unpaid commissions are forfeited regardless of amount. We also reserve the right to reclaim previously paid commissions earned through fraudulent or prohibited means.

Upon termination, you must immediately stop using your affiliate link and coupon code, stop representing yourself as an affiliate, and remove all Real Estate AI Institute brand assets from your platforms within five (5) business days.
