Affiliate program terms

1. Who can join

1.1 You must be 18 or over and have a SalaryGuide account.

1.2 SalaryGuide staff and contractors cannot join.

1.3 We review every application and may decline or remove any partner.

1.4 You may refer the company you work for only if you tell it in writing, before it buys, that you earn a commission. You never earn on an account you pay for, own, or control.

2. What you earn

2.1 You earn 20% of what a referred company pays for the Teams plan, after its discount and before tax, for 12 months from its first invoice.

2.2 You earn only on companies that had no Teams plan before.

2.3 You earn a one-time $25 bonus when your first referred company on the annual Teams plan pays. Companies on the monthly plan never count toward it. If that payment is refunded or disputed, we take the bonus back.

2.4 We may change the rate with 30 days’ notice. A change never affects commission you have already earned.

3. How sales are tracked

3.1 A sale is yours when the company types your code at checkout, or opens your link and buys within 90 days. If it opens another partner’s link after yours, the newer link counts.

3.2 Once a company pays, it stays linked to you for its 12 months.

3.3 If you and SalaryGuide disagree about a sale, our records decide.

4. How you get paid

4.1 Each commission waits 30 days after the payment, so refunds can clear.

4.2 Payouts are sent monthly once your commission is ready. We pay by Wise, PayPal, or bank transfer, in US dollars. Fees from your payment provider are yours.

4.3 If a payment is refunded or disputed, we take that commission back, from later earnings if it was already paid.

4.4 We need your tax form (W-9 or W-8BEN) before your first payout.

5. What you must not do

5.1 Send spam or messages people did not ask for.

5.2 Bid on “SalaryGuide” or its misspellings in paid search.

5.3 Use your own code or link for an account you pay for, own, or control.

5.4 Post your code on coupon, cashback, or paid-traffic sites.

5.5 Make claims about SalaryGuide or its data that are not true.

6. Ending

6.1 You or we can end your membership at any time.

6.2 If you break these terms, you lose commission that has not been paid yet.

7. Tax and status

7.1 You are an independent partner, not an employee or agent of SalaryGuide.

7.2 You are responsible for any tax on what you earn.

8. Saying you earn a commission

8.1 Every time you share your link or code, say that you earn a commission, for example with #ad or “I earn a commission if you sign up.”
