Affiliate Agreement

1. Enrollment

Any member with a paid LNS membership in good standing may join from their dashboard. Anyone who is not an LNS member may apply, and we approve or decline each application at our discretion. An approved affiliate does not need an LNS membership to take part.

To join, you provide the name shown to people you invite, a PayPal email for payouts, and a tax form. We may decline or end any participation that breaks this Agreement.

If you joined as a member and your membership later ends, you remain an affiliate and keep access to your affiliate account, unless your participation ends under this Agreement.

2. Your Obligations

• Promote LNS only with your own affiliate link and the materials we provide.
• Make no false or misleading claims about LNS, including income or results claims, and use no illegal or unethical marketing.
• Clearly disclose that you earn a commission whenever you share your link (for example, "I earn a commission if you join through my link"), as the FTC requires, and follow all other laws that apply to your marketing.
• Keep your promotional content accurate and of good quality.

3. Commissions

You earn 20% of each membership payment made by a member you refer, for as long as they stay subscribed, unless we set a different rate for your account in writing or in your affiliate account. Commissions apply to the membership only, not to add-ons, credit packs, other purchases, or the trial fee.

A referral is credited to the last affiliate link the person clicked within 60 days before joining. The person must join through an affiliate link for any commission to apply. Each member can be credited to one affiliate only, and you cannot earn commission on your own account.

4. Holds, Payouts, and Taxes

Each commission becomes payable 60 days after the payment it came from, unless we set a longer hold for your account. Payable commissions are paid once a month, by the 5th, to the PayPal email you provide, once your payable balance reaches $25. A smaller balance carries over to the following month until it reaches $25. We pay the PayPal transfer fee.

Payouts require a W-9 (or a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E outside the US) that we have reviewed. We may issue you a 1099 tax form, and you are responsible for your own taxes.

5. Refunds, Disputes, and Chargebacks on Referred Payments

LNS has a no-refund policy. Only payments that are not refunded and not lost in a dispute earn a commission.

If a payment from a member you refer is disputed or charged back, the commission on that payment is held until the dispute is decided. If we win, the commission is paid on the normal schedule. If we lose, that commission is cancelled, and if it was already paid to you, the same amount is deducted from your future payouts. Only the disputed payment is affected, not your other commissions.

If we find that the refund request or dispute was caused by our own failure, such as a billing mistake, the commission on that payment is not affected: it is paid on the normal schedule whatever the outcome, and anything already deducted for it is added back to your next payout.

We may lengthen your hold, or pause or end your participation, if payments from the members you refer are disputed at a high rate.

6. Disputes on Your Own LNS Membership

This section applies while you have, or have had, an LNS membership.

Disputing or charging back a payment on your own LNS membership goes against the no-refund policy. If you do, your affiliate account is placed on hold while we review the dispute: your links stop crediting new referrals and payouts are paused.

If we find the charge was our own billing mistake, your affiliate account is restored once the dispute is closed, with nothing deducted.

Otherwise the dispute is a breach of this Agreement and of the LNS Subscription and Terms of Use. Your affiliate account is cancelled as of the date the dispute was opened, and your LNS membership is revoked, whether or not we win the dispute. Commissions on payments after that date are forfeited.

Commissions you earned before that date are paid on the normal schedule once the dispute is decided. If we win the dispute, they are paid in full. If we lose, the full disputed amount is deducted from them first, and if they total less than the disputed amount, nothing is paid.

7. Prohibited Activities

• Using our trademarks or brand names (including Launch Navigation System and LNS) in a domain name, social media handle, or business name, or presenting yourself as LNS or as speaking for us.
• Bidding on LNS or Company brand terms in paid search or social ads.
• Cookie stuffing, cloaking, forced clicks, deceptive redirects, or any other way of crediting referrals that did not come from a genuine click.
• Sending spam or unsolicited messages with your link.
• Posting your link on our official social media pages, during our live events, in our community, or on our ads.

8. Marketing Materials

You may use only the logos, images, and content we provide or approve. You may not alter them or use them in a way that misrepresents your relationship with us.

9. Tracking and Reporting

Your affiliate dashboard shows your link, referrals, commissions, and payouts. Our tracking records decide which referrals and commissions are credited to you.

10. Termination

We may withdraw your approval and end your participation at any time, including for inactivity, for misuse of your link or our materials, for a breach of this Agreement, or if payments from the members you refer are disputed or charged back at a high rate.

Either party may end this Agreement at any time. When it ends, you must stop using your affiliate link and our materials. Commissions earned before it ended on valid payments that are not refunded or lost in a dispute are paid on the normal schedule, unless they came from a breach of this Agreement or this Agreement says otherwise.

11. Limitation of Liability

We are not responsible for lost profits, indirect damages, or service interruptions. Our total liability under this Agreement will not exceed the commissions earned and due to you.

12. Independent Relationship

You are an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or representative of The Aligned Biz Co, LLC. You may not act or make commitments on our behalf.

13. Changes to This Agreement

We may change this Agreement, the program, or the commission rate for future payments at any time. Continuing in the program after a change means you accept it. Commissions already earned are paid under the terms in effect when they were earned.
