Affiliate Terms & Conditions
Welcome to the Design for WP Affiliate Program. By signing up as an affiliate, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These terms outline the responsibilities of both the Affiliate (you) and the Merchant (Design for WP), and help ensure a successful and mutually beneficial partnership.
Definitions
- Affiliate: An individual or business that promotes the Design for WP products and earns commissions from sales made through their unique affiliate link.
- Merchant: Design for WP, the company providing WordPress plugins and services, including the Product (such as LinkCentral), available for affiliate promotion.
- Product: Refers to any current or future offerings from Design for WP, including LinkCentral and other products.
Commission and Payment
- Affiliates earn $10 per sale for each referred customer who completes a purchase.
- Commissions are paid in USD (U.S. Dollars), regardless of the currency in which the Product was sold.
- 30-day return cookie: If a user makes a purchase within 30 days of clicking the affiliate link, the affiliate will earn the commission for that sale.
- Commissions are approved after a 30-day grace period following the sale to account for returns under the 30-day money-back guarantee. If a product is returned during this period, the commission will be voided.
- The payment threshold is set at $30. Payments are made once the affiliate has earned a minimum of $30 in approved commissions. Payments are then processed via PayPal within 30 days. It is the affiliate’s responsibility to ensure the correct PayPal payment details are provided. Any failure in payment due to incorrect information is the affiliate’s responsibility.
- Affiliates are responsible for keeping their payment information up to date.
- We use SliceWP to track affiliate referrals through URL parameters and cookies. In cases where multiple affiliates refer the same customer, the last-clicked affiliate’s cookie will be credited with the sale.
- If a user clears their cookies, switches devices or browsers, uses any form of cookie blockers or track blockers, or takes longer than the 30-day return window, commissions may not be credited to the affiliate.
Affiliate Responsibilities
- The program is free to join, and affiliates must ensure their website complies with local regulations, including FTC (Federal Trade Commission) compliance where applicable. This includes, but is not limited to, disclosing the use of affiliate links.
- Affiliates must not modify any branding materials (logos, headers, copy, etc.) provided by Design for WP. Brand integrity and third-party rights must be respected.
- Affiliates must only use official coupons provided by Design for WP. No custom or unofficial discount codes are permitted.
- Paid advertising campaigns using affiliate links are not allowed. This includes but is not limited to Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or similar platforms.
- Websites participating in adult, gambling, link-farming, or other unethical activities are not permitted in the affiliate program. We reserve the right to block affiliates who violate these rules.
Promotional Materials
- Affiliates will have access to promotional creative materials within their Affiliate dashboard. These materials should be used as provided, without alteration.
- Design for WP might notify the Affiliate about deals and promotions (such as Black Friday marketing) via dashboard notifications or email.
Intellectual Property Rights
Affiliates are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the provided promotional materials (logos, banners, etc.) solely for the purpose of promoting the Product. This license does not transfer any ownership or rights in Design for WP’s copyrights, patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property. Affiliates must not:
- Modify or alter any intellectual property.
- Use promotional materials in any way that could infringe on third-party rights.
- Make unsubstantiated claims or use misleading information when promoting the Product. Design for WP reserves all rights to its intellectual property and may revoke this limited license at any time.

- Jurisdiction: Any legal disputes or claims related to the affiliate program will be settled in the courts where Design for WP is legally registered.
- Affiliates are responsible for complying with all applicable laws in their region, including tax obligations and legal regulations regarding online marketing.

- Any failure by the Affiliate to comply with government regulations, brand integrity, or customer privacy laws. Design for WP will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages related to the affiliate program.
Changes to Terms

Affiliates can also terminate their participation by notifying Design for WP in writing. Upon termination, no further commissions will be earned, but previously approved commissions will be paid according to the normal schedule and only if the payment threshold is met.
