Affiliate Agreement

This Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Destini Copp LLC d/b/a HobbyScool (“Company,” “we,” or “us”) and the party submitting an application to become an affiliate of the Company and/or having an accepted application (“Affiliate” or “You”).

The Company operates an affiliate program through which Affiliates may promote its products in exchange for a share of the proceeds of qualifying sales (the “Affiliate Program”). Except as modified by a separate agreement governing the promotion of any particular product, the terms of this Agreement apply to your participation in the Company’s Affiliate Program.

By submitting an Affiliate application and clicking “I Accept the Terms and Conditions,” You indicate that You have read and understood this Agreement, and agree that You are bound by its terms.

1. Application & Acceptance

To participate in the Affiliate Program, you must complete an Affiliate Program application (“Application”) with accurate and complete information. You must provide your true identity and other requested information, including business and payment details. You may not use aliases, DBAs, or pseudonyms to mask your identity.

The Company will review your Application and notify you of acceptance or rejection. Acceptance is at the sole discretion of the Company. Upon acceptance, you will receive Affiliate credentials and instructions for obtaining Affiliate Links.

2. Taxes and Payment

Affiliate shall not be eligible to receive payments until the required tax documentation is submitted to PayPal, the Company’s third-party payment processor. Affiliates will be required to provide PayPal with a completed W9 (U.S. Affiliates) or W8BEN (non-U.S. Affiliates). The Company does not collect or store these tax forms directly.

Payments will be made exclusively through PayPal. Affiliate is responsible for maintaining a valid PayPal account and ensuring compliance with applicable tax laws in their jurisdiction(s).

3. Commissions

The Company will pay Affiliate a commission (“Commission”) for each customer referred via Affiliate’s unique tracking links (“Affiliate Links”) as recorded by the Company’s affiliate tracking system.

Commission Structure:

  • VIP Pass Sales (Summit VIP Upgrades): 50% commission on attributed sales.

  • Membership Products (monthly, yearly, lifetime): 30% commission on attributed revenue. For monthly and yearly memberships, commissions are recurring and continue for as long as the customer remains active and in good standing, until cancellation or termination.

  • Special Promotions (e.g., Annual Workshop Pass, designated offers): 30% commission unless otherwise stated in promotional materials.

Cookie Duration:
Affiliate referrals are tracked using a 30-day cookie window. Sales completed within this window are credited to the Affiliate. Once a customer is attributed, membership commissions remain valid for the lifetime of the membership (provided the subscription is not canceled).

Payment Timing:
The Company shall pay Commissions thirty (30) days after receiving the commissionable payment, provided the sale is not refunded, canceled, or subject to chargeback/fraud.

4. Right to Chargeback, Offset, and Holdback

The Company reserves the right to adjust or reverse Commissions previously paid if a sale is refunded, charged back, fraudulent, or otherwise not commissionable. Future commissions may be offset against such chargebacks.

5. Representations and Warranties

Company represents and warrants that:

  • It shall not knowingly violate applicable law;

6. Promotional Materials & Intellectual Property

The Company may provide promotional materials (logos, banners, product images, text, etc.). Affiliates are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such materials solely for promotion during the term of this Agreement. Affiliates may not alter, modify, or create derivative works from these materials without written consent.

7. Acceptable and Prohibited Marketing Practices

Affiliates must maintain a lawful privacy policy and comply with all laws. Affiliates shall not promote Company products:

  • In connection with illegal activity, obscene or harmful content, or discriminatory material;

  • In ways that infringe third-party rights;

  • Using spam, unsolicited email, or unapproved messaging.

Paid Ads & Brand Bidding Restrictions:

  • Run ads that misrepresent themselves as the Company;

  • Use the Company’s trademarks in ad copy;

  • Compete with Company’s own advertising campaigns.

Violations will result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

8. Non-Commissionable Behavior

  • No commissions will be paid on Affiliate’s own purchases.

  • No commissions for incentivized purchases (e.g., cash rebates).

  • No commissions for traffic from purchased email lists or unsolicited messages.

  • Violations result in link deactivation and termination.

9. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins upon notice of acceptance and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time. Upon termination, Affiliate must cease use of all Promotional Materials and representation as a participant.

Affiliates will receive accrued, valid commissions earned prior to termination.

10. Relationship of the Parties

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

11. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The Affiliate Program and Promotional Materials are provided “AS IS.” The Company makes no warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Company shall not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from Affiliate’s participation. Some jurisdictions do not allow such exclusions; in those cases, liability is limited to the fullest extent permissible by law.

12. Arbitration & Governing Law

All disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia, under the laws of Georgia, USA. Class arbitration is waived; disputes must be brought individually.

13. Indemnification

Affiliate agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from claims arising out of Affiliate’s breach, misconduct, or unapproved promotional content. The Company agrees to indemnify Affiliate regarding claims that Promotional Materials provided by the Company infringe third-party rights.

14. Modification

The Company may modify this Agreement by email notice. Changes become effective ten (10) business days after notice unless Affiliate terminates under the Termination clause. Continued participation constitutes acceptance.

15. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between Affiliate and Company regarding the Affiliate Program and supersedes all prior agreements.

16. Severability, Waiver, and Force Majeure

If any term is held invalid, the remainder remains enforceable. No waiver shall be valid unless in writing. The Company is not liable for delays due to circumstances beyond its control (acts of God, war, natural disasters, labor disputes, pandemics, power outages, etc.).
