Partner Program Terms

1. Joining

The program is by invitation. We choose who we work with, and we'll confirm by email when you're in.

2. How it works

We give you a personal code (for example ANGELA25). When someone enters your code at Listorie checkout, they get 25% off: on a monthly plan for their first 3 months, and on a yearly plan for their first year. They then become your referred customer.

3. What you earn

You earn 30% of what each referred customer pays for Listorie during the 12 months after their first payment. We calculate it on the amount the customer actually pays, after their discount and without taxes such as VAT or sales tax.

Examples: a customer on the monthly Starter plan pays $11.24 a month for the first 3 months, then $14.99. You earn $3.37 a month, then $4.50, about $51 over 12 months. A customer on the yearly Starter plan pays $111.75 once, and you earn $33.52.

The 12 months start with the customer's first payment and don't restart if they cancel and come back.

4. Who counts as your referral

A customer counts as yours when they use your code on their first paid Listorie subscription. Existing paying customers and your own account don't count.

5. When and how you get paid

At the end of each month, we add up your commission for that month. We pay it on the 15th of the following month, once your balance is at least $25. Smaller balances simply roll over to the next month.

We pay in US dollars by Wise or Payoneer; you choose. Your provider may charge its own fees or convert the money to your local currency.

6. Refunds and chargebacks

Sometimes a customer disputes a payment with their bank. That's part of running an online business, and it's not something you can control, so we cover it. Commission you've already been paid is yours to keep.

The only exception is abuse: for example, signing up with your own code, or referrals that turn out to be fake or made with cards that don't belong to the buyer. In those cases we won't pay commission on the affected payments and may end the partnership. We'll always talk to you first.

7. Taxes

You're an independent partner, not our employee, and you handle your own taxes. Before your first payment, we'll ask you for a simple tax form: W-9 if you're in the US, or W-8BEN if you're not (W-8BEN-E if we pay a company).

8. Your reports and customer privacy

We'll send you a monthly summary of how many customers used your code and what you earned. To protect our customers' privacy, we don't share their names, email addresses or other personal details with partners.

9. Sharing Listorie

Please tell your audience that you earn a commission, for example "I earn a commission if you use my code." This is required by the US Federal Trade Commission and similar rules in other countries, and it builds trust.

To keep things fair for everyone, please don't:

• send unsolicited emails or messages (spam);
• run ads on the word "Listorie" or create pages that look like ours;
• promise results or earnings, or describe Listorie in a way that isn't accurate;
• suggest that Listorie is made or endorsed by Etsy;
• post your code on coupon or deal websites without asking us first.

10. Our name and logo

You may use the Listorie name and logo to talk about Listorie as a partner. "Etsy" is a trademark of Etsy, Inc., so please don't use Etsy's logo as if it were ours.

11. Leaving the program

Either of us can end the partnership at any time by email. When it ends, your code stops working for new customers. We'll pay all the commission you've already earned in a final payment, even if it's under $25, unless the partnership ends because of abuse described in section 6.

12. Changes

If we change these terms or the commission, we'll email you at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Changes never reduce commission you've already earned.

13. The legal part

The program is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you under these terms is limited to the commission paid or owed to you over the previous 12 months. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, and the state and federal courts in Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction.
