Referrals are tracked through Rewardful using the Participant's unique Referral Link and/or Coupon Code. When an Eligible Prospect makes a qualifying purchase that is attributed to the Participant, Rewardful records the referral and calculates the Commission in accordance with these Terms.
‍
Any payment of a Commission to a Participant is subject to review by First, and any Commission may be withheld or denied at First's sole discretion. First is not obliged to do business with any Eligible Prospect as a result of a Participant introduction.
‍
Subject to these Terms, First grants the Participant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to promote and market First Services, and to use its materials such as social media graphics, marketing materials, case studies, and technology documentation to assist in such activities. The use of First's trademarks is also allowed solely for promotion under the Program, but all rights are reserved by First with no implied rights. Alteration or misuse of First's materials may result in termination of the Participant from the Program.
‍

First is not responsible for any lost or untracked referrals or Commissions resulting from such circumstances.

Any individual who wishes to participate in the Program and receive Commissions must be approved by First. First will determine whether the applicant is eligible pursuant to the conditions in these Terms to become a Participant.

Participant is solely responsible for the security of their Affiliate Account and Payout Account, and for keeping their contact and payout information current. First and Rewardful are not responsible for any lost Commissions resulting from a Participant's failure to secure and monitor their Affiliate Account or Payout Account, or from inaccurate payout information. If a Participant loses access to their Affiliate Account, the Participant should promptly contact firstfriends@thisfirst.com and/or Rewardful support.

Referral Links and Coupon Codes are intended solely for use by Eligible Prospects who are new customers of First. Referral Links and Coupon Codes may not be used by Participants toward their own purchases, whether directly or indirectly, including through self-referral or the creation or use of multiple accounts or identities. A customer may not combine a Coupon Code discount with receipt of a Commission for the same transaction. Any attempt to circumvent these restrictions, including self-referral or use of a Referral Link or Coupon Code in a manner inconsistent with these Terms, may result in disqualification from the Program, reversal of discounts, forfeiture or clawback of any associated Commission, and/or termination from the Program, in First's sole discretion.

To be eligible for a Commission, the following conditions must be met:

1. Participant must be approved by First and have an active Affiliate Account through Rewardful with a valid Referral Link and/or Coupon Code.
2. An Eligible Prospect must be attributed to the Participant through (i) the Participant's Referral Link, with a qualifying purchase completed within the Cookie Window, or (ii) the Participant's Coupon Code applied at checkout.
3. The Eligible Prospect must subsequently purchase a First prenup thereby becoming a Converted Customer.
4. The Converted Customer's payment must be successfully processed and not reversed, charged back, or refunded.

A Participant earns a Commission only after all of the above conditions are met. If any of these conditions are not met, First will decline to pay a Commission.

‍Commission amount. The Commission payout percent or fixed amount relative to the eligible purchase amount for the Converted Customer's purchase of First Services. Your commission amount can be found in your Rewardful dashboard.

‍Holding period. Commissions are subject to a holding/clearance period of up to 60 days from the date of the Converted Customer's purchase to account for potential refunds, chargebacks, or cancellations. Commissions associated with a transaction that is refunded, reversed, or charged back during or after this period will not be paid, or will be deducted or clawed back if already paid.

Commissions are paid through Rewardfu. To receive payouts, a Participant must connect or designate a valid PayPal Payout Account through Rewardful.

• Minimum payout threshold: Commissions are paid once a Participant's cleared balance reaches $50. Balances below the threshold roll over to the next payout period.
‍• Payout cadence: Cleared Commissions are paid only after the applicable 30-day holding period has elapsed and the underlying transaction is final.
• Taxes: Commissions are taxable income. Participants are solely responsible for any taxes owed on Commissions earned. First and/or Rewardful may require a completed Form W-9 (or other applicable tax documentation) before issuing payouts, and First and/or Rewardful may issue a Form 1099 to Participants who meet applicable reporting thresholds.

If First determines that a Participant is attempting to obtain an unfair advantage or otherwise violate the Terms or spirit of the Program, First reserves the right to revoke any Commissions, Referral Links, or Coupon Codes issued and/or charge the Participant for amounts improperly obtained. First reserves the right to suspend or terminate a Participant from participating in the Program if a Participant materially breaches these Terms and/or violates the spirit of the Program. Upon suspension or termination, all rights and licenses granted to a Participant will end, and access to the Affiliate Account through Rewardful may be revoked.
‍
Any Commissions owed to a terminated Participant will be honored if payment was successfully processed for a Converted Customer within 30 days of the Participant's termination and the applicable holding period has cleared; except in the event the Commission was earned in violation of these Terms, which would result in the forfeiture of such Commission.
‍
In the event First has paid a Commission for a referral that is subsequently deemed ineligible for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of these Terms, First's error, a refund or chargeback, or any misrepresentation by the Converted Customer, First reserves the right to seek return of such Commission or deduct the amount from any balance owed to the Participant.

First shall not be liable to Participant or any third party for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from the Program or from the Rewardful platform, whether based on contract, tort, or any other liability theory. These limitations are an essential part of these Terms.

In connection with the Program, First and Rewardful will process certain personal information about Participants (such as name, email, and payout details) and about referred prospects and customers (such as referral activity and purchase information) to administer referrals, calculate Commissions, and process payouts. First's handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. By participating, you acknowledge that information will be shared with and processed by Rewardful and its sub-processors for these purposes.

The Program and performance of the Terms hereunder will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Participant agrees that any dispute or claim relating in any way to or arising out of these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) Participant may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; and (2) Participant or First may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Please see First's Terms of Service for the full Arbitration clause. These Terms may not be modified except by written agreement executed by First.
