6. Commission

6.1. Commission Structure.

For Referrals who subscribe to the monthly Pro plan:

(a) Affiliates will earn a one-time signup commission of $5 USD when the Referral successfully converts from any Free Trial period to a paid monthly Pro subscription.

(b) The signup commission becomes payable once the Referral has remained subscribed for at least 30 days following their first successful monthly payment and is not subject to any refund, chargeback, or dispute.

(c) Following payment of the signup commission, Affiliates will earn recurring commission equal to 25% of the monthly Pro subscription fee. At the current monthly Pro price of $5 USD, this equates to $1.25 USD per month for as long as the Referral maintains an active paid monthly Pro subscription.

For Referrals who subscribe to the annual Pro plan:

(d) Affiliates will earn a one-time signup commission of $5 USD when the Referral successfully purchases an annual Pro subscription.

(e) The signup commission becomes payable once the Referral has remained subscribed for at least 30 days following successful payment of the annual subscription and is not subject to any refund, chargeback, or dispute.

(f) Following payment of the signup commission, Affiliates will earn recurring commission equal to 25% of the annual Pro subscription fee. At the current annual Pro price of $48 USD, this equates to $12 USD per year.

(g) Annual recurring commission is earned upon each successful annual renewal, provided the Referral remains attributed to the Affiliate under these Terms.

Card Codex reserves the right to modify commission rates for future Referrals in accordance with Section 13.

6.2. Qualifying Referrals. A Referral qualifies for Commission only if:

(a) The Referral clicked your Affiliate Link and the click was tracked by our affiliate platform.

(b) The Referral subscribed to an eligible Pro subscription through the Affiliate Link within the 60-day cookie window.

(d) The Referral is not currently in a refund, chargeback, or dispute period.

(e) The Referral is not the same individual or entity as you, your immediate family, or any account you control.

(f) Free Trial users do not generate Commission unless and until they successfully convert to a paid Pro subscription.

6.3. Lifetime commission. Affiliates will continue to earn recurring Commission on qualifying Referrals for as long as the Referral maintains a continuous paid Pro subscription. Monthly Pro subscriptions generate recurring monthly Commission. Annual Pro subscriptions generate recurring Commission upon each successful annual renewal. If the Referral cancels and later resubscribes through any channel, attribution will only continue if the resubscription occurs via the original Affiliate Link within the applicable cookie window.

6.4. Cap. There is no cap on the total Commission you may earn through the Programme.

7. Tracking and attribution

7.1. Cookie window. When a user clicks your Affiliate Link, a tracking cookie is set in their browser for 60 days.

7.2. First-touch attribution. If a user clicks multiple affiliate links within the cookie window, the first affiliate’s link clicked is credited with any resulting subscription.

7.3. Tracking limitations. You acknowledge that: (a) Cookies may be cleared or blocked by the user, their browser, or third-party tools. (b) Cross-device tracking is not always reliable. (c) Card Codex is not liable for tracking failures caused by user behaviour, browser settings, or third-party technology outside our reasonable control.

7.4. Disputes. If you believe a Referral has not been correctly attributed to you, contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of the expected attribution. After 30 days, attribution disputes may not be reviewable.

8. Payment

8.1. Frequency. Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, with a 30-day clearing period to allow for refunds and chargebacks. Commissions earned in a given calendar month are paid out at the end of the following calendar month.

8.2. Method. Payments are made via PayPal or Stripe, at your election, to the verified payment account associated with your Programme account.

8.3. Minimum threshold. The minimum Commission balance required for payout is $25 USD (or local equivalent). Balances below the threshold roll over to the next payout period.

8.4. Currency. Commissions are calculated and paid in US Dollars (USD), regardless of the currency in which the Referral was billed.

8.5. Taxes and tax forms. (a) You are solely responsible for declaring and paying all taxes due on your Commissions in your country of residence. (b) Card Codex will issue tax forms (such as a US 1099 form for US-based Affiliates earning over $600 in a calendar year) where legally required. (c) Card Codex may withhold from your Commissions any tax we are legally required to withhold.

8.6. Withheld payments. We may withhold or delay payment of Commissions if: (a) We reasonably suspect fraud, breach of these Terms, or any unlawful activity.

8.7. Chargebacks and refunds. If a Referral receives a refund, chargeback, or successful dispute, the associated Commission will be reversed and deducted from your next payout. Persistent or fraudulent chargebacks linked to your Affiliate Link may result in suspension from the Programme.
