These Affiliate Program Terms ("Affiliate Terms") govern your participation as an independent affiliate of ShortsShield AI. By requesting affiliate approval through WarriorPlus or by promoting ShortsShield AI for commission, you agree to these terms.

1. Eligibility

To become an affiliate, you must:

2. Commission Structure

Approved affiliates earn the following commissions on net sales (gross sales minus refunds and chargebacks) generated through their unique affiliate link:

Commission rates may change. Changes apply to sales made after the change takes effect; sales made before are paid at the rate in effect at the time of the sale.

3. Cookie Window & Attribution

Attribution is handled by WarriorPlus per its standard practices. Last-click attribution applies, and cookie windows are governed by WarriorPlus settings. We do not adjust attribution outside of the WarriorPlus platform.

4. Payment

Commissions are paid by WarriorPlus on its standard payout schedule, subject to its hold periods, payment thresholds, and processor-specific terms. We are not responsible for payment delays caused by WarriorPlus or its payment processors. Affiliates may be subject to a hold period before payouts are released, particularly for new affiliates or for high-volume launches, in accordance with WarriorPlus policy.

5. JV Contest Prizes

If a JV contest is announced for a launch (cash prizes for top affiliates), the following terms apply:

6. Promotional Conduct — Permitted

7. Promotional Conduct — Prohibited

8. Disclosure Requirements

You must disclose your affiliate relationship clearly and conspicuously, in compliance with the FTC's "Material Connections" guidance, on every page or message that includes your affiliate link. See our Affiliate & FTC Disclosure for accepted formats.

9. Brand Assets & Promotional Materials

We provide approved promotional assets (email swipes, banner sets, social posts, demo video) on the JV page. You may use these assets while you are an active, approved affiliate. You may not modify the brand name, logo, or product screenshots in ways that misrepresent the Service. Use of our brand outside these terms requires our written permission.

10. Refunds & Chargebacks

Commissions are reversed for orders that are refunded or charged back. We do not have discretion to override these reversals — they are processed automatically by WarriorPlus.

11. Termination

We may terminate your participation in the affiliate program at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Upon termination:

12. Reciprocity

We aim to operate with standard JV reciprocity practices. If you actively promote our launch, we will consider promoting yours when timing and audience fit allow. Reciprocal promotion is not guaranteed and is not consideration for these Terms.

13. Independent Contractor

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship. You have no authority to bind us or make representations on our behalf.

14. Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes owed on commissions you receive. WarriorPlus may collect tax information (e.g., W-9 or W-8BEN) and may withhold or report payments to tax authorities as required by law.

15. Liability & Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims arising out of your promotional activity, your representations about the Service, your handling of subscriber data, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

16. Modifications

We may modify these Affiliate Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email and/or posting on this page. Continued participation as an affiliate after a change constitutes acceptance.

17. Governing Law

These Affiliate Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved as provided in our Terms & Conditions.
