These terms do not activate the affiliate program or promise a commission rate, customer discount, attribution window, payout date, eligible product, or territory. Those commercial details become binding only when 8ight issues an offer and the partner accepts it. The final program should receive legal review before paid referrals open.
1. Scope and order of documents
These Affiliate Program Terms govern participation in an approved 8ight referral program. They apply together with the partner's accepted offer, applicable campaign instructions, the 8ight Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Responsible Use guidance, and any written addendum issued by 8ight.
If commercial details in an accepted offer conflict with these general terms, the offer controls only for those specific commercial details. Mandatory law always prevails where it cannot be waived.
2. Eligibility, review, and approval
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, product access, a referral link, or a commercial relationship. 8ight may review audience relevance, content quality, traffic sources, geography, brand fit, compliance history, and any information reasonably needed to protect customers and the program.
A partner may begin promotion only after receiving and accepting an active offer. Participation is personal to the approved account and may not be transferred, sold, or shared without written permission.
3. Independent relationship
Partners act as independent contractors. Nothing in the program creates employment, agency, franchise, joint venture, fiduciary duty, or authority to bind 8ight. Partners are responsible for their own equipment, business costs, taxes, registrations, insurance, and legal compliance.
4. Referral links, codes, and attribution
Approved referral links and discount codes are issued after acceptance into the program. Attribution follows the tracking logic, eligibility rules, and window shown in the accepted offer or program record. A manually altered link, unsupported URL parameter, or verbal claim of referral does not create a right to commission.
Partners must not interfere with tracking, overwrite another partner's attribution, force cookies, inject links, use hidden redirects, or place tracking without a genuine user action and lawful consent.
5. Eligible sales and commission
The accepted offer defines the commission rate, eligible products or collections, market, currency, customer discount if any, attribution window, and other commercial rules. Unless the offer states otherwise, commission is calculated on eligible net product revenue after discounts and excludes taxes, shipping, duties, gift cards, refunds, chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, and non-qualifying orders.
Self-referrals, purchases made primarily to generate commission, duplicate accounts, collusive orders, and orders obtained through prohibited promotion are not eligible. 8ight may investigate suspicious activity and withhold or reverse affected commission while the review is open.
6. Holding, reversals, and payment
Attributed commission can remain pending during the holding period stated in the program or platform. Refunds, cancellations, returns, chargebacks, payment failures, fraud, and ineligible orders may cancel or reverse commission before payment. Payout method, threshold, timing, fees, tax documentation, and supported countries follow the accepted offer and platform requirements.
Partners are responsible for keeping payout, identity, tax, and contact information accurate. 8ight is not responsible for delays caused by incomplete verification or unsupported payout details.
7. Approved promotion and prohibited conduct
Partners may promote 8ight only through the channels and methods allowed by the accepted offer. They must use current approved assets, identify links accurately, and keep descriptions consistent with public product information.
- No false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or outdated claims.
- No promise of unconfirmed specifications, pricing, availability, shipping, launch dates, or performance.
- No spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, cookie stuffing, forced redirects, adware, toolbar injection, or deceptive interfaces.
- No impersonation, confusing domains or accounts, or suggestion that a partner channel is operated by 8ight.
- No trademark bidding, paid search, retargeting, coupon distribution, or paid social using 8ight terms or creative unless expressly approved.
- No publishing of private codes, leaked offers, confidential information, or content that violates law, platform rules, privacy, consent, or venue restrictions.
8. Advertising disclosure and endorsements
Partners must clearly disclose the affiliate or paid relationship wherever a recommendation or referral appears. The disclosure must be easy to notice, understand, and associate with the endorsement before a customer acts. A profile bio, platform tool, or buried terms link may not be sufficient on its own.
Endorsements must reflect the partner's honest experience and cannot describe product use that did not occur. Partners are responsible for complying with applicable advertising, endorsement, consumer-protection, and platform rules in every market they reach.
9. Brand materials and intellectual property
While an offer is active, 8ight grants a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use approved program materials solely for permitted promotion. Partners may not alter logos, create unapproved product renders, register 8ight names or marks, sublicense assets, or use materials outside the program. All goodwill arising from authorised use belongs to 8ight.
10. Privacy, security, and customer data
Partners must not collect, purchase, infer, or share customer data on 8ight's behalf unless separately authorised in writing and supported by the required privacy notices, consent, security, and data-processing terms. Referral reporting must be used only for legitimate program administration.
11. Monitoring and records
8ight may review public promotions, traffic quality, attributed orders, disclosures, and compliance with the program. Partners must provide reasonable information about traffic sources or placements when requested and promptly correct or remove non-compliant content. Automated workflows may flag attributed orders and program events for review.
12. Suspension and termination
Either party may end participation as permitted by the accepted offer. 8ight may suspend links, codes, commission, or access immediately for suspected fraud, misleading claims, prohibited promotion, legal risk, confidentiality breach, customer harm, or material violation of these terms.
On termination, the partner must stop presenting themselves as an active 8ight affiliate and stop using program materials. Valid commission earned before termination remains subject to eligibility, reversals, holding, verification, and the applicable offer.
13. Program changes
8ight may change, pause, or discontinue the program and may update these general terms. Material changes affecting active partners will be communicated through the program platform or available contact information. Continued participation after the effective date of an accepted update constitutes agreement where permitted by law.
14. Contact
Questions about applications, offers, attribution, or compliance can be sent through the affiliate contact path. Include the approved partner email and relevant link, order, or campaign details when available.
