Terms & Agreement Access
Why This Document Exists
An affiliate partner needs not only a marketing package but also a clear legal and rules reference point.
You should understand:
- Where to find the program rules
- Where the agreement lives
- Which principles are especially important
- What must not be violated
This document serves as your guide to the legal layer of the affiliate program.
Important Disclaimer
This document does not replace the full affiliate agreement. It is a guide to help you know where to look and what to keep in mind. The legally binding document is the official affiliate agreement itself. If there is any discrepancy between this guide and the full agreement, the official agreement takes priority.
Where to Find the Official Terms
The platform should provide access to:
| Document | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Affiliate Agreement | The full, legally binding partner contract |
| Public Program Terms | General terms visible on the program page |
| Payout Rules | How and when you get paid |
| Tracking Basics | How attribution and cookies work |
| Brand Usage Rules | What you can and cannot do with the brand |
If you notice a discrepancy between a short guide and the full agreement, the official agreement always takes priority.

| 7 | How to use the brand and materials | Protects you and the brand |
Key Rules Every Partner Must Remember
1. Use Only the Correct Referral Flow
You must use:
- Your own referral link
- Approved affiliate codes
- Approved materials
Do not substitute your referral link with random links, shortened URLs from third-party services (unless approved), or links from other partners.
2. Do Not Promise More Than the Program Offers
You must not:
- Invent special terms or exclusive deals
- Promise unconfirmed bonuses to prospects
- Change program logic "on your own" in conversations
3. Do Not Use Misleading Promotion
You cannot:
- Make false claims about the product or program
- Create misleading materials that exaggerate capabilities
- Use the Hanc.AI brand as if you are the company itself
4. Follow Competition and Notification Rules
If the program requires notification about working with direct competitors, this is a mandatory rule, not a recommendation.
5. Follow Anti-Spam, Anti-Fraud, and Self-Referral Rules
You must not:
- Spam contacts with unsolicited bulk messages
- Use fake referrals or artificial traffic
- Use self-referrals (referring yourself for commission)
- Engage in fraudulent tracking behavior of any kind
Areas That Generate the Most Questions
Commission
What to look at in the agreement:
- Rates (Standard: 15%, Premium: 20%)
- Tiers and how to advance
- Recurring logic — how long commissions continue
- Treatment of sub-affiliates — the 5% bonus structure
Attribution
What to understand:
- Cookie duration — 90 days
- First-click logic — the first tracked touch gets credit
- Role of the referral link — it must be used for attribution
- What happens in attribution disputes — the official terms govern
Payouts
What to check:
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Payout threshold | EUR 50 minimum |

| Payout history | Visible in the dashboard |
Brand Usage
What to understand:
- Which assets can be used (see Brand Usage Guide)

What to Do When in Doubt
If you are not sure:
- How to interpret a rule
- Whether you can use a specific material
- Whether a certain formulation is acceptable
- How a specific legal edge case works
Do not guess.
The correct path:
- Open the agreement and re-read the relevant section
- Check the official terms on the program page
- If still unsure, contact the Hanc.AI team directly
What Should Be Accessible in the Platform
At a minimum, the platform should give you easy access to:
- Link to the affiliate agreement
- Brief summary of key terms
- Link to payout rules
- Link to the brand usage guide
- Link to the FAQ
- Contact information for program-related questions
Why Transparency Matters
The more clearly a partner can see:
- The rules
- The agreement
- The payout logic
- The attribution model
...the more confidently and calmly they work inside the program.
Transparency is not bureaucracy — it is the foundation of partner trust. Know where the rules are, and you will never be caught off guard.
