ClientPress Affiliate Program — Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: June 19, 2026 Last Updated: June 19, 2026

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern your participation in the ClientPress Affiliate Program (“Program”), operated by ClientPress (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By applying to or participating in the Program, you (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by this Agreement in full.

1. Program Overview

The ClientPress Affiliate Program allows approved Affiliates to earn commissions by referring new customers to ClientPress (“Software”), a WordPress plugin available at clientpress.io. Affiliates receive a unique referral link and earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through that link, subject to the terms below.

2. Eligibility and Application

2.1 Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the Program, you must:

Be at least 18 years of age
Have a valid, active PayPal account capable of receiving payments
Operate a website, newsletter, social media presence, or other platform through which you promote products or services
Agree to and comply with all terms of this Agreement
Not be an employee, contractor, or immediate family member of an employee or contractor of ClientPress

2.2 Application and Approval

Participation in the Program is by application only. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. We reserve the right to approve or deny any application at our sole discretion, without obligation to provide a reason for denial.

2.3 Account Requirement

A valid PayPal account is required to participate in the Program and receive commission payments. We do not offer alternative payment methods. You are responsible for maintaining a valid PayPal account throughout your participation. Failure to maintain a valid PayPal account may result in payment delays or forfeiture of accrued commissions.

3. Affiliate Links and Tracking

3.1 Referral Links

Upon approval, you will receive a unique affiliate referral link (“Affiliate Link”) through the affiliate dashboard. All referrals must be made through your Affiliate Link for commissions to be tracked and credited.

3.2 Cookie Duration

Referral tracking cookies remain active for 60 days from the date a prospective customer first clicks your Affiliate Link. If a purchase is completed within that 60-day window, the sale will be attributed to you.

3.3 Last Click Attribution

In the event a customer clicks multiple affiliate links before purchasing, attribution will be assigned to the most recent Affiliate Link clicked.

3.4 Tracking Limitations

We are not responsible for failed tracking resulting from a customer’s use of ad blockers, browser privacy settings, cookie deletion, or other technical conditions outside of our control. Commissions will only be paid on sales we are able to verify through our tracking system.

4. Commission Structure

4.1 Commission Rate

Approved Affiliates earn a commission of 25% of the net sale amount on each qualifying purchase made through their Affiliate Link.

4.2 Eligible Products and Pricing

Commissions are earned on the following ClientPress plans:

Professional — $249/yr — $62.25 commission per cycle
Freelancer — $498/yr — $124.50 commission per cycle
Agency — $996/yr — $249.00 commission per cycle

Pricing is subject to change. Commission is calculated based on the actual amount paid by the customer at the time of purchase, net of any applicable discounts or promotional pricing.

4.3 Renewal Commissions and Cycle Cap

Affiliates earn commissions on the initial purchase and up to two (2) subsequent annual renewals made by each referred customer — for a maximum of three (3) commission payments per referred customer.

After the third commission payment for a given customer has been paid, no further commissions will be earned on that customer’s account, regardless of how many additional renewals occur.

4.4 No Lifetime Commissions

This Program does not offer lifetime commissions. Commission eligibility ends after the maximum three (3) payment cycles per referred customer, as described in Section 4.3.

4.5 Commission Basis

Commissions are earned on new customer purchases only. Commissions are not earned on:

Purchases made by existing ClientPress customers
Plan upgrades or downgrades made by previously referred customers after the third cycle
Purchases made by the Affiliate themselves
Purchases made by individuals who are employees, contractors, or agents of the Affiliate

5. Payment Terms

5.1 Payout Schedule

Commissions that have cleared the validation period (see Section 5.2) will be paid on the 25th of each calendar month. If the 25th falls on a weekend or bank holiday, payment will be processed on the next business day.

5.2 Validation and Hold Period

Commissions enter a 30-day validation period following the date of the qualifying purchase to account for refund windows and fraud screening. Commissions become eligible for payout only after the validation period has closed without a refund or reversal being issued.

5.3 Minimum Payout Threshold

A minimum account balance of $50.00 USD is required before a payout will be issued. Balances below this threshold will carry over to the following month’s payout cycle. Balances will continue to accumulate until the threshold is met.

5.4 Payment Method

All payments are made via PayPal in USD. You are responsible for any fees charged by PayPal to receive funds. We are not responsible for delays caused by PayPal’s processing times or policies.

5.5 Forfeiture of Commissions Upon Termination

If your affiliate account is terminated for cause (see Section 9), any unpaid commissions may be forfeited at our sole discretion. Commissions will be paid for validated sales completed prior to the termination date in cases of account closure without cause.

6. Refunds and Chargebacks

6.1 Refund Clawback

If a referred customer receives a full or partial refund within ClientPress’s refund window, the corresponding commission will be reversed from your account. If the reversal results in a negative balance, the deficit will be deducted from future commissions.

6.2 Chargebacks and Fraud

Any commission associated with a transaction that results in a chargeback, fraudulent payment, or violation of our Terms of Service will be reversed and may result in immediate termination of your affiliate account.

7. Promotional Guidelines

7.1 Accurate Representation

You must accurately represent ClientPress and its features in all promotional content. You may not make false, misleading, or exaggerated claims about the Software’s capabilities, pricing, or benefits.
