Affiliate Program Agreement & Code of Conduct
Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: November 9, 2024
Welcome to the Flowbot Forge Affiliate Program! These Affiliate Terms and Conditions govern your participation in the Flowbot Forge Affiliate Program (“Affiliate Program”). By applying to become an Affiliate, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not apply.
1. Program Application
You agree to provide all information reasonably requested by Flowbot Forge in connection with Your Program application, and You represent and warrant that all information that You provide is truthful and accurate. You understand and agree that Flowbot Forge retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in the Program. Flowbot Forge reserves the right to change its criteria for the Program at any time, for any reason. You expressly consent to be contacted about your application and the Program via the email address and the phone number You provide in Your application. It is your responsibility to control the notifications you do, or do not, receive through your device. To stop receiving text messages from Flowbot Forge, use the mobile phone corresponding to the number enrolled in Flowbot Forge text messages and reply “STOP” in response to a text message from the Flowbot Forge text messaging program. This will only opt you out of the specific Flowbot Forge text messaging program associated with that phone number, and you will remain opted in to any other text messaging programs in which you have enrolled. The opt out does not preclude messaging that Flowbot Forge sends for necessary services. You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of the control of Flowbot Forge, and Flowbot Forge is not responsible or liable for issues arising from them. Flowbot Forge reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of Flowbot Forge text messages, with or without notice. Flowbot Forge may suspend or terminate your receipt of Flowbot Forge text messages for any reason without notice to you.
2. Affiliate Commission
Affiliates will earn a commission of 25% on the subscription fees for each bot of the Flowbot Forge service for the first month. The commission applies to all successful subscriptions made through the affiliate’s unique referral link or code.
The Commission Rates are currently as follows:
a. Monthly subscription of Sammy the Sales Bot: 25% or minimum $125 whichever is higher
b. Monthly subscription of Manny the Marketing Bot 25% or minimum $125 whichever is higher
c. Monthly subscription of Carla the Customer Service Bot: 25% or minimum $125 whichever is higher
3. Payment Terms
Commissions will be paid out at the end of each month for verified referrals that have passed a one-month clearing period.
The minimum payout amount is $50 USD. No payments will be made until the affiliate has reached this threshold
Affiliates must register with a third party payment provider to receive Commissions payouts. Flowbot Forge or the third party payment provider may require You to submit a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form or any ancillary supporting documentation or other tax documents (the “Required Documents”) before processing Commissions payouts. If You fail to submit the Required Documents in a timely manner, Flowbot Forge or the third party payment provider may refuse to payout Commissions that were earned more than 120 days prior to receiving your Required Documents. If You are not a resident of the United States, Flowbot Forge may withhold tax (including, not limited to, VAT) where required by applicable law. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with, the applicable governing body(ies).
If Flowbot Forge determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be considered earned for such Sale. If a Commission has already been paid out for a Sale that is later deemed by Flowbot Forge to be fraudulent or in violation of this Agreement or the law, the Commission amount will automatically be withheld against any future Commissions or refunded back to Flowbot Forge at its option. Flowbot Forge may also terminate this Agreement and
Your participation in the Program immediately without any further liability to you.
If a refund or charge-back occurs for a Sale, and if a Commission was already paid to You for that Sale, such Commission is considered unearned, and the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commission payouts.
Flowbot Forge will make reasonable efforts to payout all earned Commissions. In the event that Flowbot Forge is unable to payout a Commission for any reason outside of Flowbot Forge’s control, those Commissions may be forfeited at Flowbot Forge’s sole discretion.
4. Cookie Duration
Affiliates will receive credit for referrals that result in a sale for a period of 60 days from the initial click on the affiliate's unique referral link.
5. Promotional Guidelines
Affiliates are prohibited from bidding on Flowbot Forge brand terms or using the Flowbot Forge name or product as their own name or product.
Affiliates must adhere to all provided guidelines regarding promotional materials and methods of advertisement.
Flowbot Forge Disclosure Requirements
Affiliate represents, warrants and agrees to comply with the following guidelines for all content created on Flowbot Forge’s behalf:
I. Disclosure Requirements
Affiliate must make their material connections to Flowbot Forge (and/or its brands, products, services, as applicable) known to viewers of their content in a manner that is consistent with the Agreement, the requirements set forth in these Flowbot Forge Disclosure Requirements and all applicable law and industry guidance, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and the FTC’s business guidance, “Endorsement Guides: What People are Asking.”
Material connections may include, without limitation, monetary compensation, free product, gift cards, discounts, personal or professional relationships, access to events or experiences, and more. For clarity, Affiliate’s material connections must be disclosed even when simply tagging Flowbot Forge or its brands, or simply posting a picture or a video of Affiliate enjoying using one of Flowbot Forge’s products or services.
II. Disclosures Must Be Made “Clearly and Conspicuously”
A. “Clearly”
Disclosures (1) must be easy to understand by an ordinary viewer of Affiliate’s content (including by members of groups to which it is targeted), (2) must accurately describe Affiliate’s material connections and (3) must not be contradicted by or inconsistent with anything else in Affiliate’s content.
Unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing by Flowbot Forge, these are the options for material connection disclosures:
For disclosure of a material connection, Affiliate may use #ad, provided that it is otherwise clear that Flowbot Forge is the sponsor of the post.
As applicable, the following are also permissible:
“Sponsored by Flowbot Forge”
Natural language making the connection easily understandable. For example:
“I am a paid affiliate marketer for Flowbot Forge”
“Paid post for Flowbot Forge”
“I was paid by Flowbot Forge to….”
If Affiliate is receiving commissions in connection with an affiliate link:
If Affiliate’s post clearly and conspicuously identifies Flowbot Forge as the sponsor, includes #ad and viewers can see #ad and Affiliate’s affiliate link at the same time, no additional disclosures are needed.
If #ad and the affiliate link are not viewable at the same time, Affiliate must include one of the following disclosures when posting Affiliate’s affiliate link:
“This is an affiliate link and I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post)”
“I am a Flowbot Forge affiliate, which means I get a commission when purchases are made through this link: URL]”
The following material connection disclosures DO NOT work alone and thus MAY NOT BE USED AS STANDALONE DISCLOSURES:
For disclosure of material connection:
#GoFlowbot Forge
Abbreviations that would not be understood by consumers (e.g., #spon, #pd, #sp, #collab, etc.)
Only using #partner, #ambassador, #consultant, #adviser, #affiliate, #teamFlowbot Forge, etc.
Only using “thank you”, “thanks,” “gift” or “gifted” (without explanation if Affiliate is referring to receiving something of value)
Only using #endorsement
Only using a platform’s branded content tool without further disclosure
Only tagging or @mentioning the Flowbot Forge
Only using a campaign hashtag
Disclosures must be made regardless of space limitations and appear in each applicable post/piece of content.
If an endorsement is made through visual means, the disclosure should be made at least visually. If the endorsement is made audibly, the disclosure should be made at least audibly. And if the endorsement is made through both visual and audible means, the disclosure should be made both visually and audibly. For clarity, depending on the creative and the post format, multiple types of disclosures may be prudent.
Some factors to consider when assessing the conspicuousness of a visual disclosure include: the font, color and size of the disclosure, how well it contrasts against the frame (it might make sense to have a solid background behind the disclosure), how much time followers have to look at the frame and the impact of competing text or other visual elements.Some factors to consider when assessing the conspicuousness an audible disclosure include: the speed, volume and cadence of the disclosure, how close in time the disclosure is to the mention of the Flowbot Forge (or its products or services), the impact of competing background music and other sounds, and whether repetition may be needed due to livestreaming, post length or other factors.
III. Disclosure Requirements Based on Posting Format
For in-feed posts (like X (f/k/a Twitter), Facebook and Instagram grid posts):
Disclosures must appear in the first two lines of text.
Disclosures should not buried (e.g., disclosures should not be only in a bio or below the fold (or otherwise requiring consumers to scroll down); under a hyperlink, like a “More,” “Legal” or “Disclosure” button; or in the middle or at the end of a series of hashtags, other disclosures, or general copy).
For video, live stream, stories, etc.:
Video: In video posts: (1) place the disclosure within the video itself and in the description of the video; and (2) display the disclosure in the video long enough for a viewer to be able to read and understand it.
Disclosures must appear at the beginning of the video (within the video) as well as in the video description.
It is NOT sufficient to make a disclosure only on an end card.
Stories, Snaps, TikToks, etc.: Superimpose the disclosure over the images or video in a way that is: (1) easy to notice, read and comprehend in the time that viewers have to look; and (2) well-contrasted against the background and positioned with consideration for where the viewer’s attention is drawn.
Live Stream: Repeat disclosures throughout the stream as needed to ensure that consumers hear them if they join at different times.
Platform-specific transparency tools, such as the “Branded Content” tools on Instagram, should be used in addition to the above disclosure options on social media, but may not be used as a substitute.
In the event Affiliate is posting on one social media platform and the post may be syndicated to another social media platform, disclosures must travel with the post, and appear unavoidably (e.g., pre-click) on all platforms.
6. Branding Guidelines
Affiliates are expected to maintain the integrity of the Flowbot Forge brand and should not misrepresent or distort the services offered. Any use of branding must comply with the promotional guidelines outlined above.

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the District of Columbia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
12. Dispute Resolution
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30)days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in California. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in California, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1)years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
13. Independent Contractor
Affiliates are independent contractors of Flowbot Forge. It is the express understanding and intention of the Parties that no relationship of employee/employer nor principal and agent shall exist between Flowbot Forge and You by virtue of this Agreement. You have no right to act on behalf of or bind Flowbot Forge in any way, nor share in the profits or losses of Flowbot Forge. The only compensation available to You is set forth in this Agreement. You are solely and exclusively responsible and liable for all of Your acts or omissions and the acts and omissions of anyone working on your behalf, as well as for any taxes due hereunder. Flowbot Forge may provide compliance recommendations and/or Program recommendations, such as strategy sessions, marketing techniques, suggestions or guidance on complying with applicable Laws/Terms, or other materials and resources intended solely for informational and entertainment purposes (collectively, “Recommendations”). Such Recommendations should not be relied upon to ensure Your compliance with Laws/Terms. You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your participation in the Program and all subsequent activities comply with Laws/Terms, and Flowbot Forge assumes no liability or responsibility for monitoring or confirming Your compliance or informing You of non-compliance.
14. Indeminification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us—and our subsidiaries, affiliates, and respective officers, agents, partners, and employees—harmless from any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, asserted by any third party due to or arising from: (1) your Contributions; (2) your use of the Services; (3) any breach of these Legal Terms; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties in these Legal Terms; (5) your violation of a third party's rights, including intellectual property rights; or (6) any harmful act toward another user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.
We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, in our defense of such claims. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any claim, action, or proceeding subject to this indemnification as soon as we become aware of it.
15. Force Majeure
No party will be liable for nonperformance of any of its obligations under the agreement if its nonperformance was due to a Force Majeure Event as defined in of this Section if reasonable notice and good faith efforts to find a reasonable solution are provided. “Force Majeure Event” shall mean any act of God; war; riot; civil strife; act of terrorism, domestic or foreign; embargo; governmental rule, regulation or decree; flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, or other casualty; earthquake; strike, lockout, or other labor disturbance; the unavailability of labor or materials to the extent beyond the control of the party affected; pandemics, epidemics, local disease outbreaks, public health emergencies, and quarantines; or any other events or circumstances not within the reasonable control of the party affected, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Upon occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party shall, in a timely manner, notify the other party that a Force Majeure Event has occurred, its anticipated effect on performance.
