Affiliate Program Terms

Last updated: May 5, 2026

These terms govern your participation in the Framerly affiliate program. The program is operated by Domino Effect ("we", "us", "our"). By signing up, you ("you", "Affiliate") agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't sign up.

1. Eligibility

Anyone with a valid email address can apply. There's no manual review. Approval is instant. By applying, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), that you are not on any sanctions list maintained by the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, and that participation in an affiliate program does not violate the laws of your country of residence.

2. Your discount code

At signup we issue you a unique alphanumeric code (3 to 256 characters) and create a matching 10%-off discount in our payment processor (Polar). The code is yours to share. We will not reassign it to another affiliate while your account is active.

You may not choose codes that include reserved terms (FRAMER, FRAMERLY, ADMIN, TEST, and similar), trademarks of other companies, profanity, or anything misleading about the discount being offered. We reserve the right to revoke and replace any code that violates this section.

3. Commission

Rate

50% of the net amount paid by each customer who applies your code at checkout. "Net amount" means the price after the customer's 10% discount and before our payment processor's fees. Commission applies to monthly subscriptions, annual subscriptions, and lifetime purchases.

Window

For recurring subscriptions, commission applies to the initial sale and to every renewal that occurs within 365 days of the original purchase date. After day 365 the customer continues with us at full margin and you stop earning on that subscription. Lifetime purchases pay a single commission upfront with no recurring component.

Plan changes

If a customer upgrades or downgrades within the 365-day window, the prorated charge or credit produces a corresponding commission entry (positive or negative) on your account.

Worked examples

• Monthly plan ($12): customer pays $10.80, you earn $5.40 per month for up to 12 months.
• Annual plan ($108): customer pays $97.20, you earn $48.60 once, with no further commission until renewal.
• Lifetime ($199): customer pays $179.10, you earn $89.55 once.

4. Clearance and reversals

Each commission row enters a 60-day pending state. After 60 days from the sale date (or the renewal date for renewal commissions), the row converts to "approved" and becomes eligible for the next monthly payout.

If the underlying payment is refunded (full or partial), the corresponding commission is reversed. Partial refunds reverse a proportional share of the commission. If the refund happens after the commission has been paid out, the reversal is deducted from your next payout. If your balance goes negative, you remain responsible for the difference, but in practice we will simply hold future payouts until your account is whole.

5. Payouts

We pay out on the 1st of each month for any approved balance of $50 or more. Balances below $50 roll over to the next month.

Payouts go via Wise (preferred) or PayPal. You select your method in the dashboard Settings. Foreign exchange is handled by the payout provider at their published rate; we don't add a markup.

We will not send a payout until:

1. You have a verified payout method on file.
2. You have uploaded a valid tax form (see section 6) and we have marked it verified.
3. Your account is not under fraud review.

If a payout fails (wrong bank details, name mismatch, sanctions hit, account closed), the underlying commission rows return to "approved" status and the amount is included in the next batch once the issue is resolved. We will email you to update your details.

6. Tax forms

US persons (citizens, residents, or US-formed entities) must submit a current IRS Form W-9 before their first payout. Non-US persons must submit Form W-8BEN (individual) or W-8BEN-E (entity). Forms are uploaded through your dashboard and stored in encrypted Storage with strict access controls.

US-person commissions of $600 or more in a calendar year will be reported on Form 1099-NEC by January 31 of the following year. We retain tax records for seven years per IRS requirements.

If your tax status changes (move countries, change from individual to entity, etc.), update your form within 30 days. W-8 forms expire after three calendar years and we will prompt you to refresh them before expiry.

7. Disclosure (FTC and equivalent)

Whenever you promote Framerly using your code or your link, you must clearly disclose that you have a paid relationship with us. This is required by the United States Federal Trade Commission, the United Kingdom Advertising Standards Authority, and equivalent bodies in other jurisdictions. It is also required by these terms.

Acceptable disclosure language varies by platform. At minimum:

• On Twitter, X, TikTok, and Instagram: include #ad in the body of the post.
• In newsletters and blog posts: include "Affiliate link" or "I earn a commission" near the link, not buried at the bottom.
• In sponsored video or audio content: include "This is sponsored by Framerly" or equivalent verbal disclosure at the start.

Hiding the disclosure behind a "more" link, a hashtag block at the very bottom of a long post, or vague language like "ambassador" alone is not sufficient. The disclosure must be unavoidable to a reasonable person reading the post.

8. Use of the Framerly brand

You may use the Framerly name, logo, screenshots, and product copy that we provide for affiliate use, in promotional content about Framerly. You may not use the brand to suggest endorsement of products other than Framerly, modify the logo's colors or proportions, register domains containing "framerly" without prior written permission, or run paid search ads on the keyword "framerly" or close variants.

All Framerly branding remains our property. Your right to use it ends when your participation in the program ends.

9. Things you can't do

• Refer yourself, members of your household, or accounts you control. We detect this and reverse commissions automatically; repeat offenses result in termination.
• Post your code on coupon-aggregator sites (RetailMeNot, Honey, Slickdeals, and similar). These sites scrape codes from active customers who would have bought without the discount, transferring our margin to you without bringing new business.
• Run paid search ads on the Framerly brand keyword.
• Spam, including unsolicited bulk email, comment spam on third-party sites, or automated DM campaigns.
• Misrepresent Framerly's features, pricing, or guarantees.
• Make false or misleading earnings claims to recruit other affiliates ("I made $10k a month with this code"). The program does not have multi-level structure; we don't pay sub-affiliate commissions.
• Use any technical means (cookie injection, iframe stuffing, redirect chains) to attribute referrals you didn't earn.
• Abuse the discount code itself (for example, by combining it with stacking exploits if we ever introduce one).

10. Self-referral

Self-referral is the most common abuse pattern in affiliate programs. We block it automatically by matching the order's customer email and account against your affiliate email and account. If the system detects a match, the commission is reversed and logged for review.

We may also detect self-referral via shared payment-method fingerprint, shared IP address, or shared billing address. These signals are weighted, not absolute; we use them to flag accounts for human review rather than to ban automatically.

11. Suspension and termination

Either party may terminate participation at any time by emailing rodrigo@dominoeffect.co or, for affiliates, by deleting your account from the dashboard.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, that we have reason to believe are committing fraud, that pose a legal or reputational risk, or that we are ordered to terminate by law enforcement or sanctions authorities.

On non-fraud termination (you quit, we discontinue the program, etc.), pending and approved commissions remain payable on the standard schedule.

On fraud termination, all unpaid commissions are forfeited and we reserve the right to claw back amounts already paid that resulted from fraud.

12. Account security

You're responsible for keeping your sign-in email secure. Magic-link sign-in means anyone with access to your inbox can access your dashboard.

Changes to your payout method trigger an email to your previous address with a "wasn't me" freeze link, and a 7-day cooling-off period before the new method becomes active. We may notify you of payout-method changes by additional means if your unpaid balance exceeds $500.

If you believe your account has been compromised, email rodrigo@dominoeffect.co immediately.

13. Confidentiality

Your dashboard masks referred customer email addresses (e.g. j***@gmail.com). We do not disclose customer identities to affiliates and you may not attempt to de-anonymize, contact, or otherwise identify the customers behind your referrals.

Information about commission rates, internal metrics, or unreleased program features that we share with you outside this public document is confidential. Don't repost it.

14. Independent contractor

You participate in the program as an independent contractor. You are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint-venturer of Domino Effect. You have no authority to bind us to any agreement, accept payment on our behalf, or make representations about Framerly beyond the materials we publish.

15. Disclaimers

We make no guarantees about earnings, traffic, or the duration of the program. The program may change in materially adverse ways or end entirely on 30 days' notice.

The program and the dashboard are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of security vulnerabilities. We will work to fix defects but make no commitment to a particular service level.

16. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you in connection with the program in any 12-month period is limited to the lesser of (a) the total commissions we have paid you in the previous 12 months, or (b) one thousand US dollars.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind, including lost profits, lost goodwill, or lost data, even if we have been advised of the possibility.

17. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of (a) your breach of these terms, (b) your failure to comply with FTC or equivalent disclosure law, (c) false or misleading statements you make about Framerly, or (d) any tax liability triggered by your failure to provide accurate tax forms.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be sent to your registered email at least 30 days before they take effect, and the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued participation after the effective date is your agreement to the updated terms. If you don't agree, you can terminate your account before the effective date and any pending commissions remain payable on the standard schedule.

Changes to commission rate, the 365-day window, or the refund-clearance period only apply to referrals attributed after the effective date. Referrals already in your ledger continue under the terms in effect when they were attributed.

19. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in Delaware. You and we waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information.

20. Miscellaneous

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.
