Affiliate Program
Eligibility
All Communi license holders are eligible to participate in the Affiliate Program. Communi may accept or decline any applicant at its sole discretion.
Commission Basis
- Payment processing or transaction fees;
- Applicable taxes, including VAT remitted under the EU OSS scheme; and
- Refunds, chargebacks, or other adjustments.
Affiliate commissions are calculated on the Net Transaction Value, defined as the total amount received from the customer less:
Payment of Commissions
Commissions are credited only after the underlying transaction has cleared and is no longer subject to refund, chargeback, or reversal. Payments are made in accordance with Communi’s payout schedule.
Commissions marked “Pending” are not due or payable. Only amounts shown as “Available” in the affiliate dashboard are final and payable. The affiliate dashboard is the authoritative record of commissions owed.
Payouts are made in U.S. dollars by the method specified in the affiliate dashboard. Affiliates are responsible for maintaining accurate payment details. No payout will be made until the affiliate’s balance meets the minimum payout threshold published in the affiliate dashboard.
Adjustments
Communi may offset, withhold, or adjust commissions in cases of refunds, chargebacks, reversals, processing fees, or tax obligations. Adjustments may be applied to pending balances or future commissions. Retroactive adjustments may be made where required by law, compliance obligations, or tax rulings.
Tracking and Attribution
Referrals are tracked using a first-cookie attribution model. The first valid affiliate link clicked by a purchaser will determine the affiliate to whom the commission is assigned, provided the purchase is made within the applicable cookie period.
- The purchaser submits a written request to support@communi.com within 30 days of the original purchase, clearly identifying the correct affiliate; and
- The commission in question has not yet been paid out.
Attribution corrections may be made only if:
Communi will review such requests and, at its discretion, may reassign the commission to the correct affiliate. Once a commission has been paid, attribution cannot be changed or reassigned.
Affiliates acknowledge and agree that Communi’s records are the authoritative system for tracking and attribution.
Invoices And Documentation
Affiliates may issue invoices only for commissions marked as “Available.”
Communi is not obligated to honor invoices that exceed or differ from dashboard amounts. Communi may issue corrected invoices or credit notes to comply with legal, tax, or accounting requirements.
Taxes
Affiliates are solely responsible for reporting and paying any income taxes or other obligations arising from commissions received under this program.
Conduct And Communication
Affiliates must maintain professional and respectful communication with Communi staff, other affiliates, and customers. Harassment, threats, or misrepresentation will not be tolerated.
Commission and payout inquiries must be directed only through official support channels (support@communi.com or the Help Desk). Group chats, forums, or community spaces are not valid avenues for dispute resolution.
Access to affiliate community spaces, including the Communi Partners group, is a discretionary privilege and may be revoked without affecting payout rights on valid commissions.
Prohibited Activities
Affiliates may not engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading marketing practices, including but not limited to spam, false claims, unauthorized use of Communi intellectual property, or bidding on Communi trademarks in search advertising.
Updates
Communi may update these Affiliate Terms at any time. Updates take effect upon posting on the Communi website or upon notice to affiliates. Continued participation in the Affiliate Program constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Communi may require express confirmation (e.g., by checking a box or clicking “I agree”) before affiliates can access the dashboard or request payouts. Failure to provide such confirmation will result in suspension of access until acceptance is provided.
