CanonBoard — Affiliate Program Terms

The affiliate program is a benefit of the Pro plan. Any account on an active Pro subscription can generate a referral link from inside the product. There is no application, no approval queue, and no performance tier to climb — the rate is the same for everyone.

If your Pro subscription lapses, you stop accruing new commission, but your existing dashboard, your earned balance and any pending payout remain yours. Earned is earned.

You must be the account holder. Referral links are personal to the account that generated them and may not be sold, rented, or transferred.

30% of the base subscription price of every subscription you refer, for 12 months from that customer's first payment.

The rate is flat. It does not increase with volume and it does not decrease.

Commission is calculated on the base subscription only. Seat add-ons and credit packs are permanently excluded — that is a program term, not a temporary limitation. Taxes, proration adjustments and refunds are also excluded.

You may not earn commission on your own account or on accounts you control. Self-referral is not a grey area here.

The 12-month window opens on the referred customer's first payment — not on the click, and not on a free signup. Free signups are attributed and simply wait; they begin earning if and when they convert.

If a referred customer cancels, commission stops at cancellation. Commission already earned is not clawed back.

If a cancelled customer returns within 3 months, your attribution resumes on the ORIGINAL clock — the 12 months do not restart. After 3 months away, the attribution has expired and the returning customer is no longer attributed to you.

Attribution is by referral link only. CanonBoard does not issue affiliate coupon codes, which keeps discount-aggregator sites out of the funnel and keeps our pricing consistent for everyone.

A referral is recorded when a visitor arrives with your link and is stored on their device for 30 days. Last link wins: if a visitor later arrives through a different affiliate's link, the more recent one is credited.

Payouts are made through Stripe Connect, to a bank account you connect yourself. CanonBoard never holds your banking details.

Payouts run monthly. The minimum payout is $25 — balances below the minimum roll forward to the following month rather than being forfeited.

You are responsible for your own taxes on commission income. CanonBoard does not withhold tax and does not provide tax advice.

Stripe must be able to verify your identity before any payout can be released. A Connect account that has not completed verification will accrue commission but cannot be paid out.

Listing CanonBoard on coupon, deal, or cashback sites.

Paying, incentivising, or otherwise compensating people to sign up through your link.

Self-referrals, or referrals from accounts you own or control.

Bidding on CanonBoard-branded search terms, or running ads that imply you are CanonBoard.

Misrepresenting what CanonBoard does, what it costs, or what it includes — including claims that the AI writes for you, which it does not.

Unsolicited bulk email, spam, or any promotion that would breach the platform it appears on.

Any of the above ends affiliate participation immediately and forfeits pending, unpaid commission. We also monitor churn and refund rates on referred accounts: promotion to an audience the product does not suit helps nobody, including you.

We may change these terms. If a change reduces the commission rate or shortens the earning window, it applies only to referrals made after the change takes effect — referrals already attributed to you keep the terms they were made under.

We will give at least 30 days' notice by email before any material change takes effect.

We may end the program entirely with 30 days' notice, in which case commission on existing referrals continues to be paid to the end of each referral's 12-month window.

Participation in the affiliate program is also governed by the CanonBoard Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

You take part as an independent contractor. Nothing in this program creates an employment, partnership, agency, or joint-venture relationship, and you may not present yourself as a representative or spokesperson of CanonBoard.

The contracting entity is CanonBoard, LLC.
