Affiliate terms

The rules for promoting Frontlist as an affiliate.

1. Who can apply

Any Frontlist author account can apply to become an affiliate. Applications are reviewed and approved individually, approval isn't automatic, and applying doesn't guarantee acceptance.

2. Your referral link

Once approved, you'll get a unique referral link. Use it in your own content, newsletters, social posts, communities you're part of, wherever makes sense to you. Don't misrepresent Frontlist, make false claims about it, or use deceptive means (like cloaked links or spam) to drive clicks.

3. How commissions work

You earn a one-time commission when someone who signs up through your link completes their first payment. This is a single payment, not a recurring share of their subscription. Your commission rate is set individually when you're approved and may be adjusted at Frontlist's discretion.

4. Payouts

Commissions are reviewed and paid out manually. You can see what you've earned and what's still pending in your own affiliate dashboard at any time. Payout timing and method are handled directly with you, outside of the Frontlist platform itself.

5. What you can't do

Don't refer yourself, create accounts to generate your own commissions, or misuse the referral system in any way. Don't bid on Frontlist's own brand terms in paid advertising. Violating these terms can result in your affiliate status being revoked and any pending commissions withheld.

6. Ending the relationship

Either side can end the affiliate relationship at any time. If revoked, your referral link stops working, but commissions already earned before that point are still owed and will be paid out normally.

7. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continuing to use your affiliate link after a change means you accept the update.

8. Contact

Questions about the affiliate program can be sent through the contact page.
