Creator Program Terms

1. What this is

The ListingSmith Creator Program pays you when people you send us buy ListingSmith Pro. These terms are the agreement between you and Ribble LLC ("we", "us") for that program. You accept them by asking for a creator code or link, or by using one. If you make content for a company, you confirm you can agree on its behalf.

2. The deal

• Per sale. $50 for every Pro purchase (the one-time $297 payment) made by a buyer who used your code or your link.
• Credit packs. 15% of every credit pack that same buyer purchases in the 12 months after their Pro purchase.
• For your audience. A buyer who types your code at checkout gets 250 extra credits on top of what Pro includes. There is no discount; the price stays $297.
• Your numbers. Your welcome email states your rate, bonus and tail. Where they differ from the figures above, the email wins.
• Changes. We can change the rates with 30 days' notice by email. A change applies to sales after it takes effect, never to sales already recorded.

3. What counts as a sale

• A completed Pro payment where the buyer entered your code at checkout, or signed up within 30 days of arriving through your link. If a buyer arrived through more than one creator's link, the most recent one counts. A code typed at checkout always counts, whatever link came before it.
• Subscriptions, the free demo and purchases made before you joined do not pay.
• A purchase that is refunded, charged back or disputed is reversed. If we already paid you for it, we deduct it from your next payout.
• Purchases by you, your company, your staff or accounts you control do not pay, and attempting them ends the agreement.
• Our records decide what was sold, when, and through which code or link.

4. When and how we pay

• Hold. A commission becomes payable 35 days after the purchase, which covers the buyer's 30-day money-back guarantee.
• Schedule. We pay once a month, on or about the 15th, for everything payable by then, by PayPal business payment to the PayPal address you give us.
• Minimum. Balances under $50 roll into the next month.
• Statement. Each payout comes with a statement by email listing the sales it covers, as counts and amounts. We never share a buyer's name, email or product with you.
• Tax forms. Before the first payout we need a completed Form W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (outside the US). You are responsible for any tax on what we pay you.
• Fees. PayPal's receiving fees, currency conversion and your bank's charges are yours.

5. Tell your audience

You earn money when people buy through your code or link, and your audience has to know that. The US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides require it, and so do we. Every time you share the code or link, say so clearly, next to it, before anyone clicks: in the video itself and in the description, in the post, in the email. "I earn a commission if you buy through this link" is enough. "Affiliate link" on its own, a disclosure buried in a bio, or one that lives only on your website is not. If your platform has a paid-partnership label, use it as well.

6. Say only what is true

• Show real output. If you demonstrate ListingSmith, use pages, images or copy it actually generated.
• Do not promise sales, rankings or income. Say what you saw, not what you hope.
• Do not claim Amazon has approved, endorsed or partnered with ListingSmith. It has not.
• Do not invent features, prices or guarantees. Our site states what the product does and costs; quote it.

7. What you may not do

• Bid on "ListingSmith" or misspellings of it in Google, Bing, Amazon or social ads, or use it in ad copy or display URLs.
• Post your code on coupon, deal or cashback sites, or anywhere that is not your own content.
• Send unsolicited email or messages, or run ads or pages that imitate our site or emails.
• Offer cash, credits or other rewards to people for signing up or buying.
• Create or encourage throwaway accounts to use the free demo repeatedly.
• Register domains, handles or pages that pretend to be ListingSmith.

Breaking any of these forfeits unpaid commissions and ends the agreement.

8. Using our name

While you are in the program you may use the ListingSmith name, logo and screenshots in your own content to describe and review the product. That is a limited, revocable permission, not a transfer of any rights. Do not alter the logo, present yourself as ListingSmith or as our partner beyond what these terms say, or keep using our marks after the agreement ends. If we ask you to change or remove something that misrepresents the product, do it within 7 days.

9. Your status

You are an independent contractor. Nothing here makes you our employee, agent, partner or representative, and you cannot make commitments on our behalf. You decide how, when and where you create content; we only decide what we pay for.

10. Ending the agreement

Either of us can end this agreement at any time by email, with no reason needed. Commissions already payable are still paid on the next schedule, and commissions still in their hold are paid when the hold ends, unless the sale is reversed or the agreement ended for a breach of sections 3, 6 or 7, in which case unpaid commissions are forfeited. We may pause a code while we review unusual activity. We may also change or close the program with 30 days' notice.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will email you at least 30 days before a material change takes effect. Continuing to share your code or link after that date means you accept the change. If you do not, stop sharing and tell us, and we pay out what you have earned.

12. Limits

THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS." WE DO NOT PROMISE ANY LEVEL OF EARNINGS, THAT THE TRACKING WILL NEVER MISS A SALE, OR THAT THE PRODUCT OR THE PROGRAM WILL BE AVAILABLE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE COMMISSIONS PROPERLY OWED TO YOU AND UNPAID, AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS. You are responsible for your own content and for complying with the law and the rules of the platforms you publish on, and you will cover us for claims that arise from your content or from your breach of these terms.

13. Privacy

We keep your name, email, PayPal address and tax form to run the program and pay you, as described in our Privacy Policy. You do not collect any information about buyers on our behalf, and we do not give you any.

14. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Greenville County, South Carolina. Questions, your PayPal address or your tax form: Hello@listingsmith.ai.
