Affiliate Terms and Conditions

Agreement and eligibility

Last updated: October 14th, 2026

This Affiliate Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding agreement between you, or the company you represent ("you," "your," or "Affiliate"), and Dubsado ("Dubsado," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an affiliate account, or by using or distributing a Dubsado affiliate code or link, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to this Agreement. Please read it in full; you are welcome to print it for your records.

This Agreement works alongside our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. If they conflict on a matter about the affiliate program, this Agreement controls.

To participate, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old.

  • Provide accurate contact and payment information and keep it current.

  • Complete any tax forms as requested.

Referral discounts

Your affiliate code or link gives the people you refer the discount for your tier. The discount applies only to their first payment, on monthly or annual plans, and not to later recurring payments. Affiliate discounts may be combined with Dubsado sale pricing depending on sale.

Payouts

You earn a one-time, flat payout for each qualifying referral, at the rate for your tier on the date the referral qualifies. Your tier, payout rate and discount are shown in your affiliate dashboard.

A referral qualifies when all of these are true:

  • The person signed up using your code or link and was not already a Dubsado customer.

  • They became a paying subscriber on a monthly or annual plan.

  • They kept a paid subscription for at least 60 days after their first payment (the "holding period").

  • Their payments were not refunded, charged back or reversed during the holding period.

The payout is the same whether the person chose a monthly or annual plan. You earn one payout per referred customer, not per brand or add-on they buy.

These referrals never qualify:

  • Signing up yourself, your own business, or anyone who shares your Dubsado account, payment method or billing details.

  • Accounts created to generate a payout rather than to use Dubsado.

  • Referrals made in breach of this Agreement.

How and when you're paid. Qualifying payouts are paid monthly, through Dub.co’s payment processors. You may need to accept Dub.co’s partner terms to receive payouts. We may hold a payout if we later find that a referral did not qualify.

Taxes. You are responsible for any taxes on your payouts. We may ask for a W-9 (U.S.) or equivalent form, and we may issue a 1099 or similar form where the law requires it. We may hold payouts until we receive applicable forms.

Tracking and attribution

We credit a referral to you when the person signs up through your link or enters your code at checkout.

  • When someone clicks your link the referral is credited to you.

  • If more than one affiliate could claim a referral, the most recent link click or the code used at checkout wins.

  • Our tracking records are final for deciding who receives credit. If you believe a referral was missed, tell us within 30 days of the person's signup.

Referral information and privacy

Your affiliate dashboard shows limited information about the people you refer so you can track your referrals and help them get started. That information belongs to them, and you may use it only as this section allows. A referred person may ask us to hide their details. You will still receive credit for the referral.

What you can see. For each person who signs up through your code or link:

  • Name: shown until the referral is paid out, or 90 days after signup if it never qualifies

  • Email address: same as above

  • Status (trial, paid or no longer active): same as above

  • Plan, amount paid, payment details: never shown

  • Cancellation reasons, support history, account content: never shown

  • Their clients’ information: never shown

How you may use it. You may use referral information only to:

  • Welcome the person and help them get set up on Dubsado.

  • Track the status of your referrals and payouts.

What you may not do. You may not:

  • Add a referred person to your email list, newsletter or any marketing list unless they sign up for it themselves.

  • Sell, rent, share or give referral information to anyone else.

  • Contact a referred person again after they ask you to stop.

  • Use referral information to sell unrelated products or services, or to steer the person to a competing product.

  • Copy, export, scrape or extract referral information in bulk, by hand or with automated tools.

  • Present yourself as Dubsado or as acting on Dubsado's behalf when you contact them.

Your obligations. When you use referral information, you are responsible for complying with the privacy and marketing laws that apply to you, including CAN-SPAM, the CCPA and GDPR where relevant. You must also:

  • Keep referral information confidential and secure, and do not share your affiliate account login.

  • Delete any referral information you have copied outside the dashboard when the person asks you to, when we ask you to, or when you leave the program.

  • Tell us at hello@dubsado.com within 72 hours if you believe referral information has been accessed or used without permission.

Misusing referral information is a serious breach of this Agreement. We may remove your dashboard access, suspend your code, forfeit unpaid payouts, or end this Agreement.

Promotion rules

Disclose your affiliate relationship. Whenever you recommend Dubsado with your code or link, you must clearly disclose that you earn a payout for referrals. The disclosure has to be easy to notice, next to the recommendation, and not hidden in a link or a bio. Short labels like "#ad" or "affiliate link" are fine. This is required by the FTC's Endorsement Guides and similar laws.

Prohibited channels. You may not post or distribute your code or link through:

  • Coupon, deal or discount-code sites, even if someone else posts it there.

  • Shopping assistants, browser extensions, toolbars, add-ons or pop-ups.

  • Unsolicited email, text messages or direct messages (spam).

  • Paid search ads that bid on "Dubsado" or misspellings of it.

We may remove a code from any of these channels without warning.

Honest promotion. You may not:

  • Make false or misleading claims about Dubsado's features, pricing or discounts.

  • Present yourself as Dubsado, a Dubsado employee, or official Dubsado support.

  • Use the Dubsado name, logo or brand except in the materials we provide or as we approve in writing. You may not register domains, social handles or business names that include "Dubsado."

If your account is terminated for breaking these rules, any unpaid payouts are forfeited.

Suspension and termination

Either you or Dubsado may end this Agreement at any time, with or without cause. You can leave the program by discontinuing use of your affiliate code or emailing hello@dubsado.com.

If we find abuse, misconduct, or misuse of a code, link or referral information, we may immediately suspend or disable your code, remove your dashboard access, or end this Agreement.

When this Agreement ends:

  • Your code and link stop working.

  • Referrals that qualify within 60 days after the end date are still paid out, unless we ended the Agreement due to breach.

  • Unpaid payouts are forfeited if we ended the Agreement due to breach.

  • You must delete any referral information you hold.

Changes to this Agreement

We may change this Agreement, including payout amounts, discounts and tiers. We will notify you by email at least 15 days before a change takes effect. Payout rate changes apply only to referrals that sign up after the effective date. If you don't agree to a change, your option is to leave the program; continuing to participate after the effective date means you accept it.

Relationship of the parties

Affiliates are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, agency or joint-venture relationship. You may not make commitments or statements on Dubsado's behalf, and you are responsible for your own costs of promotion.

Liability and indemnity

The affiliate program is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that tracking will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you will earn any particular amount. Our total liability to you under this Agreement is limited to the payouts you earned in the 12 months before the claim.

You agree to indemnify Dubsado against claims arising from your promotion of Dubsado, your breach of this Agreement, or your misuse of referral information.

General

  • This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California.

  • If any part of this Agreement is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

  • You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent.
