Affiliate Program Agreement
The ArtDrop affiliate program is off and is not accepting participants. There is no public application or automatic enrollment. Participation can begin only after StanHattie LLC activates the program, accepts you in writing, creates your affiliate account, and provides an active referral code.
1. Agreement and Eligibility
This Affiliate Program Agreement ("Agreement") is between StanHattie LLC ("ArtDrop," "we," "us") and the person or entity accepted as an affiliate ("you"). You must be at least 18, able to enter a binding contract, provide accurate contact and payout information when requested, and comply with applicable law and platform rules. We may invite, activate, or pause an affiliate at our discretion.
2. Commission Schedule and Current Tracking
The written terms assigned to your affiliate account determine the commission rate, commission period, attribution period, hold period, payout threshold, payout method, and any account-specific direct rate or parent override. Before promoting ArtDrop, contact support@getartdrop.com for written confirmation of the terms currently assigned to you.
Commissions can accrue only while the program and your affiliate account are active and ArtDrop's supported tracking records an eligible purchase. If tracking is unavailable or does not record a purchase, no commission appears for that purchase. Contact support if an expected eligible purchase is missing. ArtDrop does not guarantee that every purchase will be tracked.
ArtDrop currently attributes commissionable purchases only through supported direct checkout flows. It can record an initial Web or Mac purchase and later Web subscription payments. Shopify-billed purchases are not tracked. Web and Mac are separate customer entitlements. A purchase of one does not include the other.
When a referred Web subscription payment is tracked, the recorded amount is the paid invoice amount and can include Web extra-store charges on that invoice. Mac additional-store purchases are not tracked. No commission is paid merely for recruiting another affiliate. Any parent override is calculated from the same tracked customer payment.
A displayed amount is not a promise of payment. Payment is based on commissions that become payable after any holds, refunds, disputes, attribution rules, and corrections.
3. Attribution
ArtDrop uses a first-party referral cookie and generally keeps the first referral code recorded in that browser rather than replacing it with a later code. An earlier unrecognized code can prevent a later code from receiving credit until the cookie is removed. The attribution period and the cookie's browser lifetime limit how long attribution remains possible. Attribution requires the buyer to use the referral link ArtDrop provides and complete a supported direct checkout. It can fail if the cookie is blocked or deleted, the buyer changes device or browser, tracking is unavailable, the program is inactive, the buyer is already an ArtDrop customer, or the checkout is not supported. We do not guarantee that every click or purchase will be attributed.
You may not overwrite another affiliate's marker, hide or force a referral cookie, place cookies without a genuine user click, alter timestamps, inject links or scripts, or otherwise engage in cookie stuffing, adware, toolbar, extension, malware, or attribution interference.
4. Required FTC and Similar Disclosures
Every endorsement or recommendation containing your ArtDrop referral link or code must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you may earn a commission. Put the disclosure close to the recommendation and link, before or with the endorsement, not only on a profile, footer, terms page, or behind a link. Use the same language as the endorsement and include visual and audible disclosure when the endorsement is both visual and audible.
A clear example is: “I may earn a commission if you buy ArtDrop through this link.” “Affiliate link,” “commissionable link,” a discount code by itself, or a platform's built-in label may be insufficient. You must follow the FTC Endorsement Guides and all rules that apply where you or your audience are located. We may provide training, inspect public promotions, request corrections, or pause commission accrual or payouts for noncompliance.
5. Accurate Marketing
You may describe only current, publicly documented ArtDrop capabilities, pricing, refund terms, supported services, and availability. You may not promise income, guaranteed results, guaranteed uptime, future features, marketplace acceptance, or outcomes ArtDrop does not control. You may not imply that you are ArtDrop, StanHattie LLC, an employee, agent, official support representative, or exclusive partner. You may use approved brand assets only for the program and must remove them when asked.
6. Prohibited Promotion
- Self-referrals or purchases for yourself, your household, a controlled entity, or another person used to obtain a commission
- Spam, purchased lists, unsolicited bulk email/SMS, robocalls, unlawful direct messages, or any promotion without required consent
- False, misleading, deceptive, unsubstantiated, defamatory, infringing, discriminatory, or illegal content
- Bidding on “ArtDrop,” “StanHattie,” misspellings, or confusing variants in paid search; impersonating domains, social accounts, apps, or support channels
- Coupon, cashback, loyalty, sub-affiliate, media-buying, or incentive traffic unless we approve it in writing
- Pop-ups, forced redirects, invisible frames, cookie stuffing, link hijacking, malware, browser extensions, or automated/bot clicks
- Placing links on content primarily directed to children or where the promotion would violate a platform's rules
7. Validation, Holds, Refunds, and Disputes
New commissions are held for the period stated in your written terms. ArtDrop can void an unpaid commission tied to a refund, chargeback, dispute, reversal, duplicate, unpaid transaction, or rule violation. A partial refund can void the full unpaid commission. Refund and dispute tracking may not update a commission automatically while the program or tracking is unavailable, so ArtDrop may correct the commission before payout. The current system does not automatically reverse a commission that has already been paid.
8. Payouts
Your written terms state the payout threshold and payout method assigned to you. The available payout methods are Stripe Connect and Mercury ACH. PayPal payouts are not available.
Payouts require ArtDrop to process them and may not run automatically on the schedule displayed in your account. A payout can be sent only while the program and payouts are active, your affiliate account is active, the hold period has ended, the threshold is met, applicable payout limits allow the amount, and your selected payout method is fully set up.
You are responsible for keeping payout information current. A payout provider or bank may charge fees, reject a transfer, restrict an account, or require more information. ArtDrop is not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate information, provider review, sanctions screening, banking networks, or legal holds.
9. Taxes
You are an independent contractor and are responsible for your taxes, registrations, records, and professional advice. A payout provider may request information needed to set up payments. StanHattie LLC may request information needed to meet reporting or withholding duties. Nothing in the program is tax advice.
10. Privacy and Security
Our Privacy Policy describes referral, affiliate, payout, and cookie data. You receive aggregate program statistics, not referred-customer personal information. Treat statistics and onboarding links as private access links. Notify support@getartdrop.com promptly if a link, account, or credential is exposed. You may not collect customer data on ArtDrop's behalf or represent that ArtDrop supplied customer information.
11. Monitoring and Records
You will keep reasonable records of your promotions and disclosures and provide them when needed to investigate compliance. We may monitor public promotions, click patterns, attribution, payment signals, refunds, disputes, and payout status to protect customers and the program. Click counts can include automated or invalid traffic and do not by themselves create a commission.
12. Changes, Suspension, and Termination
Either party may end participation at any time by written notice. Ending participation pauses future commission accrual and does not delete existing records. We may immediately suspend commission accrual or payouts for suspected fraud, prohibited promotion, disclosure failures, security risk, legal obligations, or material breach. We may change the program prospectively by posting or sending updated terms. Material economic changes apply prospectively unless law or fraud correction requires otherwise. Valid commissions earned before termination remain subject to their recorded ledger status, refunds, disputes, the active payout settings, payout verification, and this Agreement. Unpaid fraudulent or prohibited commissions may be voided.
13. Independent Contractor; No Exclusivity
You are an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, franchisee, joint venturer, representative, or agent. You cannot bind ArtDrop or make commitments on our behalf. Participation is non-exclusive and does not create a territory, quota, salary, benefit, or guaranteed minimum payment.
14. Disclaimers and Limitation
The program, links, reporting, and materials are provided “as is” to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee availability, conversion, attribution, earnings, or uninterrupted tracking. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ArtDrop is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from the program. ArtDrop's aggregate program liability to you will not exceed unpaid commissions recorded as payable for the six months before the event giving rise to the claim.
15. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify StanHattie LLC and its personnel against third-party claims, losses, penalties, and reasonable costs caused by your promotion, content, legal violations, platform violations, infringement, privacy practices, or breach of this Agreement, except to the extent caused by ArtDrop's own unlawful conduct.
16. Governing Law; Entire Agreement
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Iowa, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes shall be brought in the state or federal courts serving Iowa unless applicable law requires another forum. This Agreement, the active program settings applied to your account, and the Privacy Policy are the entire affiliate agreement. If an account-specific rate or parent override conflicts with a global setting, the account-specific setting controls that stated economic term.
