Partner Terms

1. Introduction:

This document outlines the terms and conditions (“Terms”) that govern the Creator Crafted Partner Program (“Program”) operated by Affinity Goods LLC DBA Creator Crafted, a Delaware corporation, located at 8 The Green, STE A Dover, DE 19901 USA, herein referred to as “Creator Crafted”.

By participating in the Program, the individual or entity (“Partner(s)”) agrees to be bound by these Terms.

2. Non-Exclusivity:

This Agreement does not establish an exclusive relationship between you and Creator Crafted. Both parties reserve the right to promote, recommend, or collaborate on similar products and services from third parties. Additionally, both parties can engage with other entities regarding the design, sale, setup, and utilization of comparable third-party products and services.


3. Commission:

a. Partners will earn a commission of 20% of the gross revenue from the sale of goods, excluding any shipping, duties, taxes, or other additional charges.
b. Commission is calculated only on items that are successfully delivered and not returned within any provided return period.
c. In the event of product returns, the corresponding commission amount previously credited to the Partner will be deducted from future commission monies owed.
d. Commissions will not be paid on any fraudulent transactions or orders that are canceled before shipment. If commissions were already paid out for such transactions, those amounts will also be deducted from future commission monies owed.
e. If the returns result in a negative commission balance for the Partner, the Partner might be required to remit the owed amount back to Creator Crafted or have it deducted from future positive commissions, based on the discretion of Creator Crafted.
f. Minimum Commission Guarantees: From time to time, Creator Crafted may offer minimum commission guarantees on a case-by-case basis.
i. A "Minimum Commission Guarantee" is an assured amount that an Partner will receive, regardless of the actual commissions generated. This guarantee serves as a safety net, ensuring Partners earn at least the specified minimum commission during a set period.
ii. A minimum commission guarantee is distinct from a 'base' payment. While the former ensures a certain earnings level regardless of actual sales, a 'base' payment is a set amount paid to the Partner, irrespective of performance, and does not fluctuate based on sales.
iii. Any amount earned above the minimum commission guarantee will be credited as additional commission.

4. Payment:

a. Commissions, including any applicable minimum commission guarantees, are paid on a net 30 end-of-month basis. For example, commissions earned during the month of August will be paid out by September 30th.
b. The minimum monthly payment amount is $50. If the commission owed to an Partner is less than $50 in any payment period, the amount will roll over to the subsequent payment period.
i. If an Partner's commission balance remains under $50 for a continuous period of 90 days, the Partner will forfeit that commission.
c. By default, payments will be directed to the Partner's authorized management or agents. However, Partners have the right to request direct payment.
i. In cases where an Partner requests direct payment, the Partner must provide accurate payment details, tax forms based on the jurisdiction of residence, and any other necessary information that Creator Crafted may require to ensure timely payment and compliance with legal and tax authorities.
ii. Failure to provide the required information or provision of incorrect information may result in delayed or missed payments. Creator Crafted will not be liable for such delays or missed payments arising from the Partner's failure to provide accurate information.
d. It remains the Partner's responsibility to inform Creator Crafted of any changes to their payment preferences or required payment details.
e. In the event where the commissions earned by the Partner are less than the offered minimum commission guarantee for a specified period, Creator Crafted will make up the difference to ensure the Partner receives the guaranteed amount.

5. Non-Disparagement and Confidentiality:

a. Confidentiality: Partners may come into contact with or be privy to proprietary and private information related to Creator Crafted’s business. This includes, but is not limited to, details about future product launches, category releases, business strategies, and other non-public data.
i. All such information must be treated as confidential. Partners are prohibited from disclosing, sharing, or using this information for any purpose other than fulfilling their obligations under this Program unless explicit written approval is obtained from Creator Crafted.
ii. Any unauthorized dissemination or use of this confidential information will be regarded as a breach of these Terms and may lead to immediate termination from the Program and potential legal action.

b. Non-Disparagement: Partners agree not to make any statements, written or verbal, or cause or encourage others to make statements, written or verbal, that defame, disparage, or in any way criticize the personal or business reputation, practices, or conduct of Creator Crafted, its employees, directors, or officers. Partners understand and agree that this prohibition extends to statements, written or verbal, made to anyone, including but not limited to, the news media, investors, potential investors, any board of directors or advisory board or directors, industry analysts, competitors, strategic partners, vendors, employees (past and present), and clients.

e. Deliverables Commitment and Impact on Minimum Commission Guarantee:
i. Partners must strictly adhere to any and all deliverables that have been agreed upon in writing between the Partner and Creator Crafted. This includes, but is not limited to, specific content creations, placements, durations, or other promotional obligations.
ii. Failure to meet these deliverables will result in the Partner not qualifying for the minimum commission guarantee. For instance, if a Partner agrees to a 60-second YouTube integration, the integration must be successfully published for the Partner to be eligible for the minimum commission guarantee associated with that deliverable.
iii. Failure to meet deliverables may also result in consequences including but not limited to reduced commission rates, termination from the Program, or legal action.
f. Discretionary Promotion: While adhering to the specified deliverables, Partners are also welcomed and encouraged to promote Creator Crafted in a discretionary manner, as long as such promotions remain in line with the Terms of this Program and do not misrepresent Creator Crafted or its products.
g. Content Review for Guaranteed Compensation:
i. Any promotional content intended for platforms like YouTube, Twitter, or any other social media that is tied to a minimum compensation guarantee must be submitted to Creator Crafted for review and approval at least 2 business days before the intended upload or publication date.
ii. Uploading or publishing content without obtaining prior approval from Creator Crafted will render the Partner ineligible for the associated minimum commission guarantee.
iii. Partners are expected to integrate any feedback or modifications suggested by Creator Crafted during the review process. Non-compliance with requested changes might result in the content being denied approval.

7. Termination:
a. Creator Crafted reserves the right to terminate an Partner's participation in the Program if they violate any of these Terms.
