Partner Program Terms

The terms governing referral tracking, commission, payment, and how you may promote LienDeadline as a partner.

These terms govern participation in the LienDeadline Partner Program. By creating a partner account you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not participate.

1. Eligibility and enrolment

1.1 You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter contracts in your jurisdiction.

1.2 Partner accounts are created through our partner portal. We may approve, decline, suspend, or close any account at our discretion.

1.3 You are responsible for the accuracy of your account details, including your payout details and tax residency.

2. Referral tracking and attribution

2.1 You will receive a unique referral link. A referral is attributed to you when a visitor arrives through that link and our tracking records the click.

2.2 Attribution lasts for the referral window shown in your partner dashboard, measured from the visitor's first tracked click. If a visitor arrives through more than one partner link, the most recent one is credited.

2.3 Attribution depends on the visitor's browser accepting our tracking cookie. We cannot credit referrals that our systems did not record, and we do not attribute referrals retroactively or manually except at our discretion.

2.4 We may modify the referral window. Changes apply to clicks recorded after the change.

3. Commission

3.1 Commission is the percentage shown in your partner dashboard, calculated on the net subscription revenue we actually receive from a referred customer.

3.2 Commission is recurring: it continues while the referred customer maintains an active paid subscription, and ends when that subscription ends.

3.3 Commission is not payable on tax, refunds, chargebacks, credits, discounts, fraudulent or reversed payments, free or trial usage, or your own purchases.

3.4 Each payment is subject to a hold period before commission becomes eligible for payout, to allow for refunds and chargebacks. If a payment is refunded or charged back after commission has been paid, we may deduct that amount from future payouts.

4. Payment

4.1 Eligible commission is paid on the payout schedule and through the payout methods shown in your dashboard, subject to any minimum payout threshold.

4.2 You are solely responsible for all taxes arising from your commission, and for any tax reporting or registration required where you live or operate. We may withhold amounts where required by law and may request tax documentation before paying.

4.3 Payment processing fees and currency conversion costs may be deducted or borne by you depending on the payout method you select.

4.4 If your payout details are invalid or a payment fails, we will hold the balance until you correct them. Balances on closed or abandoned accounts may be forfeited after twelve months.

5. How you may promote LienDeadline

You may promote LienDeadline on websites, newsletters, social media, and in direct professional conversations, provided you comply with these terms and applicable law.

5.1 Disclosure. You must clearly disclose that you earn a commission, wherever you promote us. This is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, including under the US FTC endorsement guidelines.

5.2 Accuracy. You must not misrepresent what LienDeadline does, its pricing, its coverage, or its results. Only make claims we have published or confirmed in writing.

5.3 Legal information. LienDeadline provides deadline calculations and document tooling. It does not provide legal advice. You must not describe it as legal advice, as a substitute for a lawyer, or as a guarantee that any lien right will be preserved. You must not state specific statutory deadlines, filing requirements, or legal conclusions on our behalf.

5.4 Coverage. Our deadline coverage is the 50 US states and the District of Columbia. Do not claim coverage of US territories or other countries.

6. What you may not do

You may not:

6.1 Refer yourself, or use your own link to obtain a discount or commission on your own subscription, or arrange for others to do this on your behalf.

6.2 Bid on "LienDeadline", close variants, or our brand terms in paid search, or use them in ad copy, display URLs, or as a domain name.

6.3 Register domains, social accounts, app listings, or other properties that incorporate our name or could be mistaken for us.

6.4 Send unsolicited bulk email, SMS, or messages, post to forums or comment sections against their rules, or promote us through any channel that would reasonably be considered spam.

6.5 Publish fabricated reviews, testimonials, ratings, or claims of use, or place us on "review" or "comparison" pages that misrepresent independent assessment.

6.6 Use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframes, adware, browser extensions, typosquatting, or any technique that records a referral without the visitor's genuine intent.

6.7 Offer unauthorised discounts, rebates, coupons, or cashback, or represent that you can negotiate our pricing.

6.8 Promote us alongside adult, illegal, hateful, or misleading content.

6.9 Make any representation, warranty, or commitment on our behalf, or hold yourself out as our employee, agent, or reseller.

Breach of this section may result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commission.

7. Intellectual property

7.1 We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use our name and logos solely to promote LienDeadline under these terms.

7.2 You must not alter our marks, and you acquire no rights in them. This licence ends when your participation ends.

8. Relationship of the parties

You are an independent contractor. Nothing here creates employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture. You bear your own costs and are responsible for your own compliance.

9. Termination

9.1 Either party may end participation at any time, for any reason, with written notice.

9.2 On termination you must stop using our marks and remove your referral links.

9.3 We may withhold or reclaim commission connected to breach, fraud, or activity that harms our reputation or search visibility.

9.4 Sections 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 survive termination.
