Affiliate Terms and Conditions
Axiom Board Group Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
These Affiliate Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern participation in the Axiom Board Group ("Company") Affiliate Program. By applying to or participating in the program, you ("Affiliate") agree to the following terms.
Section 1: Program Overview
The Affiliate Program allows approved affiliates to promote Company products and earn commissions on qualified sales generated through their unique referral links or approved tracking methods.
Section 2: Eligibility and Acceptance
All affiliates are subject to approval at the Company's sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any application for any reason. Affiliates must provide accurate and complete information during registration.
Section 3: Commission Structure
Affiliates earn 50% commission on direct sales generated through their referral. Affiliates earn 5% commission on Tier 2 sales (sales generated by affiliates they directly recruit). Affiliates earn 3% commission on Tier 3 sales (sales generated by affiliates recruited by their Tier 2 affiliates). Commissions are one-time payments and do not include recurring revenue unless explicitly stated in writing. Commissions apply only to the base package and setup fees, unless otherwise specified.
Section 4: Qualified Sales
A sale is considered "qualified" if:
- Payment has been successfully processed and received by the Company
- The transaction is not refunded, disputed, or charged back
- The customer is not an existing lead or customer in the Company's system prior to the affiliate referral (unless explicitly approved)
Section 5: Payment Terms
Commissions are paid 60 days after the month ends when the transaction occurred. Commissions will only be paid on fully collected, non-refunded transactions. The Company reserves the right to withhold commissions pending fraud review or investigation. Affiliates must submit a valid W-9 form and required payment details before receiving payouts. The Company may establish a minimum payout threshold at its discretion.
Section 6: Refunds, Chargebacks and Clawbacks
No commissions will be paid on refunded or disputed transactions. If a commission has already been paid on a transaction that is later refunded or charged back, the Company reserves the right to deduct that amount from future payouts.
Section 7: Attribution Rules
Commission attribution is based on a last-click model, unless otherwise specified. Referral tracking is valid for 90 days from the initial click. If multiple affiliates refer the same customer, the last valid tracked referral will receive credit. Leads or customers already in the Company's database are not eligible for commission unless approved in writing.
Section 8: Affiliate Responsibilities
Affiliates agree to:
- Promote Company products accurately and honestly
- Use approved messaging and positioning where provided
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

- Create unauthorized websites, funnels, or pages that mimic or represent the Company
Violation of this section may result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.
Section 10: Marketing and Brand Guidelines

Affiliates are independent contractors and are not employees, partners, or agents of the Company. Affiliates have no authority to bind or represent the Company in any capacity.
