LeadAttractor Affiliate Program Agreement &
Code of Conduct
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU MUST REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, INCLUDING THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION BELOW, BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM (AS DEFINED BELOW).
This Affiliate Agreement constitutes the provisions herein, the LeadAttractor Terms of Service, the LeadAttractor Privacy Policy, both of which are incorporated herein by reference (collectively the “Agreement”). The Agreement governs your activity, application to join, and any subsequent participation in, LeadAttractor's Affiliate program (the “Program”). By accepting the Agreement, or by participating in the Program, you (“Affiliate,” “You” or “you”) agree to be bound by the terms thereof and agree that this is a binding legal agreement between You and LeadAttractor Inc. (“LeadAttractor,” “we” or “us”). If You are or represent a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement. LeadAttractor reserves the right to modify the Agreement at any time. Your continued participation in the Program shall be deemed acceptance of any new versions of the Agreement. Affiliate is responsible for ensuring its employees, agents, and representatives comply with this Agreement. Any breach of the Agreement by an employee, agent, or representative acting on Affiliate’s behalf shall be deemed a breach by the Affiliate.
SECTION 1. PROGRAM APPLICATION
You agree to provide all information reasonably requested by LeadAttractor in connection with Your Program application, and You represent and warrant that all information that You provide is truthful and accurate. You understand and agree that LeadAttractor retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in the Program. LeadAttractor reserves the right to change its criteria for the Program at any time, for any reason. You expressly consent to be contacted about your application and the Program via the email address and the phone number You provide in Your application. It is your responsibility to control the notifications you do, or do not, receive through your device. To stop receiving text messages from LeadAttractor, use the mobile phone corresponding to the number enrolled in LeadAttractor text messages and reply “STOP” in response to a text message from the LeadAttractor text messaging program. This will only opt you out of the specific LeadAttractor text messaging program associated with that phone number, and you will remain opted in to any other text messaging programs in which you have enrolled. The opt out does not preclude messaging that LeadAttractor sends for necessary services. You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of the control of LeadAttractor, and LeadAttractor is not responsible or liable for issues arising from them. LeadAttractor reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of LeadAttractor text messages, with or without notice. LeadAttractor may suspend or terminate your receipt of LeadAttractor text messages for any reason without notice to you.
SECTION 2. Program Rules
You represent and warrant that, when participating in the Program, you will comply with the following Program rules (“Rules”), and, if LeadAttractor determines, in its sole discretion, that you are not in compliance with any of the Rules, you will be considered in material breach of this Agreement, and LeadAttractor may (in its sole discretion), in addition to seeking any other available remedies in law and equity, terminate this Agreement and Your participation in the Program immediately (which may include, without limitation, forfeiture of earned Commissions), without liability:
a. the Code of Conduct set forth in Exhibit A;
b. the following (collectively, “Laws/Terms”): (i) the terms of the Agreement, (ii) all applicable laws, statutes, treaties, ordinances, regulations, codes, guidance, guidelines, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and related guidance, all as updated (collectively, the “FTC Endorsement Guides”), policies, terms and conditions of third parties to which you and the Program are subject, and (iii) the terms of use, user agreements and other terms and conditions pertaining to the use of each website and/or platform you use; and
c. the LeadAttractor Disclosure Requirements set forth in Exhibit B.
SECTION 3. COMPENSATION
Upon acceptance into the Program, You will receive a unique Affiliate ID through https://affiliate.LeadAttractor.ai This Affiliate ID will be incorporated in the URL that You use to advertise LeadAttractor (hereinafter, “Affiliate Link”). You may earn Commissions (as further described below) for each sale (“Sale”) that is registered using Your Affiliate ID. You may also earn Commissions on Sales generated by Affiliates you have recruited to join the Program (“Second Tier Affiliates”). LeadAttractor reserves full discretion in Second Tier Affiliate designations.
A Sale is determined to have occurred, provided that a new user (“Prospect”) (i) purchased LeadAttractor Products by accessing the LeadAttractor Site directly via a Affiliate Link from one of your authorized channels; and (ii) clicked the Affiliate Link to the LeadAttractor Site and purchased LeadAttractor Products, provided that it was the last Affiliate Link to the LeadAttractor Site that the customer clicked within the last 90 days. All determinations of whether a Sale occurred and whether a Commission is payable, will be made by LeadAttractor in its sole discretion.
A Commission is earned only if (i) Affiliate has registered and maintained a usable account with a third party payment provider to receive Commission payments and provided complete and accurate information to LeadAttractor to facilitate payment and (ii) the account of Prospect has remained in good status for at least forty-five (45) days after the Sale. No Commission is earned for a Sale if, at the time of attempted payout, Affiliate has not maintained a usable account with a third party payment provider or LeadAttractor is unable to payout Commissions due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the Affiliate. Similarly, Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that their Prospects and Customers are not located in or associated with an embargoed or sanctioned person or entity. No Commissions will be earned for Sales to any Prospect or Customer residing in a Sanctioned Country or who is or has an association with a Sanctioned Party. A “Sanctioned Country” means any country or territory that is the target of comprehensive sanctions, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region, the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, and any other country or region that is otherwise the target of sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets (“OFAC”) or equivalent government agency in other countries. A “Sanctioned Person” means any individual or entity that appears on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of OFAC or that is otherwise the target of sanctions administered by OFAC or equivalent government agencies in other countries.
In the event that a Prospect has multiple Affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently acquired Cookie will generally determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale except in instances of (i) recently canceled Prospects who attempt to re-subscribe under a different affiliate within 90 days of cancellation, (ii) cases of self-referral, or (iii) other scenarios at LeadAttractor’s sole discretion. If a Prospect signs up for LeadAttractor without connection to any Affiliate, that Prospect is considered unaffiliated, and no Commissions will be earned by any Affiliates for that Prospect unless otherwise agreed to by LeadAttractor in writing. In instances where a Prospect is affiliated under different Affiliates for different services (such as cases where one Affiliate makes the Sale, but another affiliate makes an upgrade for the same Prospect), LeadAttractor will allocate Commissions as deemed appropriate in LeadAttractor’s sole and absolute discretion. Affiliates are prohibited from inducing existing affiliated LeadAttractor customers from cancelling or transferring their account in order to “unaffiliate” with a previous Affiliate and “re-affiliate” with You. Similarly, Affiliates are prohibited from inducing existing LeadAttractor customers to cancel or transfer their unaffiliated accounts in order to affiliate with You. Unless a cancellation or transfer request for affiliation purposes is received directly from the LeadAttractor customer in their own capacity, and not at Your direction, Commissions in such instances will not apply, and such behavior shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Commission payout amounts will be determined by LeadAttractor in its sole discretion. Commission rates may change from time to time at LeadAttractor’s sole discretion.
The Commission Rates are currently as follows:
Monthly Subscriptions:
a. Starter Account: 25% (applicable to all approved Affiliates)
b. Professional Account: 25% (applicable to all approved Affiliates)
c. Business Builder Account: 25% (applicable to all approved Affiliates)

Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payouts will be paid on the 15th of each month following LeadAttractor's receipt of payment for a Sale, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. In the event the 15th of each month falls on a holiday or weekend, Commission payouts will typically occur on the following business day, although exceptions may apply. All Commission payouts are calculated based on the amount of fees received by LeadAttractor, less sales taxes. All Commissions are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD) or otherwise in currencies offered by the payment provider. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions. Your combined Commission must be equal to or exceed Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($50.00) (USD) before You receive a payment from LeadAttractor. If Your combined Commissions in a 120-day period do not exceed $50.00 (USD), Your Commissions will not be paid and will be forfeited.
Affiliates must register with a third party payment provider to receive Commissions payouts. LeadAttractor or the third party payment provider may require You to submit a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form or any ancillary supporting documentation or other tax documents (the “Required Documents”) before processing Commissions payouts. If You fail to submit the Required Documents in a timely manner, LeadAttractor or the third party payment provider may refuse to payout Commissions that were earned more than 120 days prior to receiving your Required Documents. If You are not a resident of the United States, LeadAttractor may withhold tax (including, not limited to, VAT) where required by applicable law. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with, the applicable governing body(ies).
If LeadAttractor determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be considered earned for such Sale. If a Commission has already been paid out for a Sale that is later deemed by LeadAttractor to be fraudulent or in violation of this Agreement or the law, the Commission amount will automatically be withheld against any future Commissions or refunded back to LeadAttractor at its option. LeadAttractor may also terminate this Agreement and Your participation in the Program immediately without any further liability to you.
If a refund or charge-back occurs for a Sale, and if a Commission was already paid to You for that Sale, such Commission is considered unearned, and the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commission payouts.
LeadAttractor will make reasonable efforts to payout all earned Commissions. In the event that LeadAttractor is unable to payout a Commission for any reason outside of LeadAttractor’s control, those Commissions may be forfeited at LeadAttractor’s sole discretion.
SECTION 4. intellectual property rights; media Release

EXHIBIT B
LeadAttractor Disclosure Requirements
Affiliate represents, warrants and agrees to comply with the following guidelines for all content created on LeadAttractor’s behalf:
1. Disclosure Requirements
Affiliate must make their material connections to LeadAttractor (and/or its brands, products, services, as applicable) known to viewers of their content in a manner that is consistent with the Agreement, the requirements set forth in these LeadAttractor Disclosure Requirements and all applicable law and industry guidance, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and the FTC’s business guidance, “Endorsement Guides: What People are Asking.” Material connections may include, without limitation, monetary compensation, free product, gift cards, discounts, personal or professional relationships, access to events or experiences, and more. For clarity, Affiliate’s material connections must be disclosed even when simply tagging LeadAttractor or its brands, or simply posting a picture or a video of Affiliate enjoying using one of LeadAttractor’s products or services.
2. Disclosures Must Be Made "Clearly and Consicuously"
A. “Clearly”
Disclosures (1) must be easy to understand by an ordinary viewer of Affiliate’s content (including by members of groups to which it is targeted), (2) must accurately describe Affiliate’s material connections and (3) must not be contradicted by or inconsistent with anything else in Affiliate’s content.
Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by LeadAttractor, these are the options for material connection disclosures:
· For disclosure of a material connection, Affiliate may use #ad, provided that it is otherwise clear that LeadAttractor is the sponsor of the post.
· As applicable, the following are also permissible:
o “Sponsored by LeadAttractor”
o Natural language making the connection easily understandable. For example:
§ “I am a paid affiliate marketer for LeadAttractor”
§ “Paid post for LeadAttractor”
§ “I was paid by LeadAttractor to….”
· If Affiliate is receiving commissions in connection with an affiliate link:
o If Affiliate’s post clearly and conspicuously identifies LeadAttractor as the sponsor, includes #ad and viewers can see #ad and Affiliate’s affiliate link at the same time, no additional disclosures are needed.
o If #ad and the affiliate link are not viewable at the same time, Affiliate must include one of the following disclosures when posting Affiliate’s affiliate link:
§ “This is an affiliate link and I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post)”
§ “I am a LeadAttractor affiliate, which means I get a commission when purchases are made through this link: URL]”
The following material connection disclosures DO NOT work alone and thus MAY NOT BE USED AS STANDALONE DISCLOSURES:
· For disclosure of material connection:
o #GoLeadAttractor
o Abbreviations that would not be understood by consumers (e.g., #spon, #pd, #sp, #collab, etc.)
o Only using #partner, #ambassador, #consultant, #adviser, #affiliate, #teamLeadAttractor, etc.
o Only using “thank you”, “thanks,” “gift” or “gifted” (without explanation if Affiliate is referring to receiving something of value)
o Only using #endorsement
o Only using a platform’s branded content tool without further disclosure
o Only tagging or @mentioning LeadAttractor
o Only using a campaign hashtag
Disclosures must be made regardless of space limitations and appear in each applicable post/piece of content.
If an endorsement is made through visual means, the disclosure should be made at least visually. If the endorsement is made audibly, the disclosure should be made at least audibly. And if the endorsement is made through both visual and audible means, the disclosure should be made both visually and audibly. For clarity, depending on the creative and the post format, multiple types of disclosures may be prudent.
Some factors to consider when assessing the conspicuousness of a visual disclosure include: the font, color and size of the disclosure, how well it contrasts against the frame (it might make sense to have a solid background behind the disclosure), how much time followers have to look at the frame and the impact of competing text or other visual elements. Some factors to consider when assessing the conspicuousness an audible disclosure include: the speed, volume and cadence of the disclosure, how close in time the disclosure is to the mention of the LeadAttractor (or its products or services), the impact of competing background music and other sounds, and whether repetition may be needed due to livestreaming, post length or other factors.
3. Disclosure Requirements Based on Posting Format
· For in-feed posts (like X (f/k/a Twitter), Facebook and Instagram grid posts):
o Disclosures must appear in the first two lines of text.
o Disclosures should not buried (e.g., disclosures should not be only in a bio or below the fold (or otherwise requiring consumers to scroll down); under a hyperlink, like a “More,” “Legal” or “Disclosure” button; or in the middle or at the end of a series of hashtags, other disclosures, or general copy).
· For video, live stream, stories, etc.:
o Video: In video posts: (1) place the disclosure within the video itself and in the description of the video; and (2) display the disclosure in the video long enough for a viewer to be able to read and understand it.
§ Disclosures must appear at the beginning of the video (within the video) as well as in the video description.
§ It is NOT sufficient to make a disclosure only on an end card.
o Stories, Snaps, TikToks, etc.: Superimpose the disclosure over the images or video in a way that is: (1) easy to notice, read and comprehend in the time that viewers have to look; and (2) well-contrasted against the background and positioned with consideration for where the viewer’s attention is drawn.
o Live Stream: Repeat disclosures throughout the stream as needed to ensure that consumers hear them if they join at different times.
Platform-specific transparency tools, such as the “Branded Content” tools on Instagram, should be used in addition to the above disclosure options on social media, but may not be used as a substitute.
In the event Affiliate is posting on one social media platform and the post may be syndicated to another social media platform, disclosures must travel with the post, and appear unavoidably (e.g., pre-click) on all platforms.
4. Modifications
Affiliate hereby agrees that LeadAttractor shall have the right to make modifications to the LeadAttractor Disclosure Requirements and any of the policies or guidance included therein, and Affiliate shall comply with any such modifications, so long as such modifications are provided to Affiliate.
