Affiliate Program Terms

Draft the terms and conditions an affiliate accepts when joining a commission-based program. No single canonical "how to draft affiliate terms" framework exists - the Performance Marketing Association's Retailer Affiliate Agreements Guide is the closest thing to an industry checklist, and the clause set itself is highly standardized across real published agreements. The governing drafting principle is Geno Prussakov's: "any practices that you do not explicitly prohibit are, implicitly, permitted" - this document earns its keep by enumerating, never by catch-alls.

These agreements are near-universally non-negotiated clickwrap contracts of adhesion, accepted by conduct and amended under "continued participation equals acceptance". They bind real people from the moment of signup, which is why legal review below is a workflow step, not a footnote.

Legal Review Is a Step, Not a Footnote

The produced document is a draft for legal review - never legal advice, never a finished contract.
