Profit-Scanner Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 1 May 2026 Effective date: 1 May 2026 Version: 1.0

1. Introduction & Acceptance

These Terms & Conditions (the "Agreement") govern your participation in the Profit-Scanner Affiliate Program (the "Program"). The Program is operated by:

PROFIT SCANNER S.R.L. Romanian limited liability company (Societate cu Răspundere Limitată) Trade Register no. J2026017431000 (Hunedoara County) EUID: ROONRC.J2026017431000 Tax ID (CUI) 54258972, VAT RO54258972 > Registered office: Sat Crișcior, Comuna Crișcior, Strada Muncii Nr. 35, Bl. Tineret, Et. Parter, Ap. 3, Județul Hunedoara, Romania Sole administrator: Faur Andrei-Constantin

(referred to in this Agreement as "Profit-Scanner", "we", "us", "our").

By submitting an application to the Program, ticking the "I accept these Terms" checkbox, or otherwise participating in the Program, you ("Affiliate", "you", "your") agree to be bound by this Agreement.

If you do not agree, do not apply to or participate in the Program.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you are applying on behalf of a company, you warrant that you have authority to bind that company.

2. Definitions

"Affiliate Code" — the unique referral code issued to you upon approval.
"Affiliate Link" — any URL containing your Affiliate Code as a ?ref= query parameter, or the short-link form profit-scanner.com/r/<code>.
"Cookie Window" — the 60 calendar days during which a referral cookie set by your Affiliate Link remains valid for attribution.
"Eligible Visitor" — an individual who clicks your Affiliate Link, lands on a Profit-Scanner property, and has not previously been attributed to another Affiliate within their active Cookie Window.
"Qualifying Customer" — an Eligible Visitor who registers a new account and completes a paid subscription to a Profit-Scanner plan.
"Net Revenue" — the amount actually paid by a Qualifying Customer for a Profit-Scanner subscription invoice, excluding VAT/sales tax, third-party payment processor fees, and any chargebacks/refunds.
"Commission" — the percentage of Net Revenue payable to you on each qualifying invoice, as set out in Section 5.

3. Application & Approval

3.1 Application

You may apply via the public form at https://profit-scanner.com/affiliate or, if you already have a Profit-Scanner account, via the in-app referral page.

3.2 Approval discretion

Approval is at our sole discretion. We may reject applications without giving reasons. Common reasons for rejection include: low or fake audience, history of spam or affiliate fraud, conflict of interest, residence in a sanctioned country, or promotional plans that violate Section 9.

3.3 No employment relationship

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and Profit-Scanner. You have no authority to make any statement or commitment on behalf of Profit-Scanner.

3.4 One account per Affiliate

Operating multiple affiliate accounts (yours, family members', or fronts) to inflate referrals or bypass commission caps is prohibited and grounds for immediate termination plus forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

4. Tracking & Attribution

4.1 Last-touch attribution

We use last-touch attribution: the most recent Affiliate whose Affiliate Link a visitor clicked within the Cookie Window receives the Commission for any subsequent paid subscription by that visitor.

4.2 Cookie window

The tracking cookie has a 60-day lifetime from the click. If the cookie expires before the visitor subscribes, no Commission is owed.

4.3 Cross-device limitations

Tracking relies on browser cookies. We do not guarantee tracking across different browsers, devices, or incognito sessions. Loss of attribution due to user device behaviour, ad-blockers, or privacy tools is not a basis for a Commission claim.

4.4 Self-referrals

You may not use your own Affiliate Code to subscribe yourself or to obtain a discount on your own account. Self-referral attempts are automatically detected and result in zero Commission for the relevant invoice.

5. Commission Structure

5.1 Lifetime commission

For each Qualifying Customer attributed to you, you earn a Commission of 25% of Net Revenue on every paid invoice for the duration of that customer's subscription, including all renewals, with no time cap ("Lifetime Commission").

5.2 Custom rates

We may, at our discretion, agree a higher Commission rate (e.g. 30%) with specific Affiliates in writing. Such custom rates are stored on your Affiliate account and shown in your dashboard.

5.3 Currency

Commissions are calculated and paid in EUR. If a customer is invoiced in a different currency, we convert at the rate Stripe used at the time of payment.

5.4 No commission on

You earn no Commission on:

VAT or other taxes paid by the customer;
Stripe processing fees;
Refunded portions of an invoice (see Section 7);
Chargebacks or disputed payments;
Free trials, plan extensions, or admin-issued comp accounts;
Customer purchases made under a different active Affiliate cookie.

6. Payment Terms

6.1 Eligibility delay

Each commission becomes eligible for payout 40 calendar days after the underlying customer invoice is paid, to absorb chargeback risk.

6.2 Minimum payout

Minimum payout balance: €50. Below this, the balance rolls over until the threshold is reached.

6.3 Request frequency

You may request a payout at most once every 15 calendar days.

6.4 Payment methods

We pay via PayPal or Revolut. You are responsible for providing valid payout details on your dashboard. We reserve the right to add or remove methods.

6.5 Processing time

Payout requests are processed within 7 business days of approval, subject to anti-fraud verification.

6.6 Invoicing — your responsibility

You are solely responsible for issuing a valid commercial invoice to PROFIT SCANNER S.R.L. for the amount of each approved payout. We do not operate a self-billing scheme. If your jurisdiction requires VAT, the invoice must include the appropriate VAT treatment (e.g. reverse-charge for B2B EU, zero-rated for non-EU). We may request a copy before releasing payment.

6.7 Tax compliance

You are solely responsible for:

declaring Commission income in your jurisdiction;
registering for any required tax IDs (VAT, freelance, sole-trader);
paying any income, social, or VAT taxes on Commissions received.

We do not withhold tax. We do not collect W-8BEN, W-9, or VAT-ID forms. By participating you confirm you understand your local tax obligations.

7. Refunds & Clawbacks

7.1 Pro-rata clawback on refunds

If a customer receives a refund (full or partial) on an invoice for which you were credited a Commission, the Commission is reduced pro-rata by the ratio of the refunded amount to the original gross amount.

7.2 If commission already paid out

If the related Commission has already been paid to you, the clawback is recorded as a negative balance that offsets future earnings on your account. If you have no future earnings within 12 months, we may invoice you for the negative balance.

7.3 Chargebacks

Chargebacks are treated as full refunds for the affected invoice and trigger a 100% Commission clawback for that invoice.

7.4 Fraud-related clawback

If we determine that a referral was fraudulent (Section 9), all Commissions related to that referral are forfeit, regardless of payout status.

8. Brand Usage & Marketing Materials

8.1 Limited license

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the "Profit-Scanner" name and logo solely for the purpose of promoting the Service through your Affiliate Link, in accordance with this Agreement.

8.2 Brand guidelines

You must:

use the logo without alteration (no recolouring, distortion, or recomposition);
not present yourself as Profit-Scanner staff, partner, or official representative;
not use "Profit-Scanner" or our logo in your domain name, social handles, business name, or trademark filings;
include FTC-style disclosure where required by your jurisdiction (e.g. "I get a commission if you sign up via this link").

8.3 Approved channels

You may promote the Service through your blog, newsletter, podcast, YouTube channel, social media, in-person events, courses, books, and similar legitimate content channels.

8.4 Prohibited channels

You may NOT promote via:

unsolicited email (spam) — any email outreach must use your own opt-in list;
comment spam on forums, Reddit, Quora, or third-party blogs;
automated software, bots, or generated traffic;
"made for affiliate" sites with no original content;
public Wi-Fi networks, malware-bundled installers, or browser extensions not authored by you and disclosed to your audience.

9. Prohibited Conduct

You must NOT:

Bid on our brand keywords in paid search ads (Google Ads, Bing Ads), including "Profit-Scanner", "ProfitScanner", "Profit Scanner", common misspellings, or our domain name. This includes broad-match and brand+keyword combinations (e.g. "Profit-Scanner alternative").
Cookie stuff or otherwise drop our cookie without an explicit user click on your Affiliate Link.
Make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about features, pricing, results ("guaranteed €5,000/month"), or our endorsement of you.
Use incentivized traffic (paid-to-click, cashback, reward sites) where the user is paid to click or sign up, unless explicitly approved by us in writing.
Run typosquatting domains, redirects, or pop-unders.
Fake reviews or fake testimonials posing as real customers.
Promote on sites containing adult content, gambling, hate speech, illegal activities, or content infringing third-party rights.
Modify our Affiliate Link to strip referral parameters or redirect via another Affiliate's link.
Pressure customers with countdown timers, fake-scarcity, or high-pressure tactics misrepresenting our offer.
Operate the Program in violation of applicable law, including consumer protection, data protection (GDPR), and unfair commercial practices.

Breach of this Section is grounds for immediate termination, forfeiture of all unpaid Commissions, and clawback of past Commissions earned through the breach.

10. Term & Termination

10.1 Term

This Agreement begins on your Program approval and continues until terminated.

10.2 Termination by either party

You may terminate at any time by notifying us via support and ceasing use of your Affiliate Link.

We may terminate or suspend your participation:

for cause: immediately, on breach of this Agreement (Sections 8, 9 in particular);
without cause: with 30 days' written notice, for any reason.

10.3 Effect of termination

On termination:

you must immediately cease using our trademarks and Affiliate Links;
existing Commissions earned in good faith remain payable on the normal schedule, less any clawbacks;
Commissions tied to breaches of Sections 8 or 9 are forfeit.

10.4 Survival

Sections 6.6, 6.7, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 survive termination.

11. Confidentiality

You may receive non-public information about the Program (custom Commission rates, internal metrics, unreleased features). You agree to keep such information confidential and use it only to perform under this Agreement. This obligation survives termination for 2 years.

12. Data Protection (GDPR)

12.1 Roles

We are the data controller of personal data of visitors and customers referred via your Affiliate Link. You are an independent controller of your own audience's data (e.g. your newsletter subscribers).

12.2 What we share with you

We provide you, via your dashboard, a pseudonymized view of customers attributed to you (masked email such as j****e@gmail.com, signup date, plan, total earnings). This is not personal data sufficient to identify or contact those individuals; you must not attempt to re-identify them.

12.3 Cookies

The referral cookie (ps_ref) is set when a visitor clicks your Affiliate Link. It is treated as strictly necessary for executing the referral service the visitor explicitly requested, in line with EU ePrivacy guidance.

12.4 Your privacy obligations

Where you collect personal data of your audience (e.g. newsletter signups that include affiliate disclosures), you must comply with applicable data protection law in your role as their controller.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

the Program is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind;
our total liability under this Agreement, in aggregate, is limited to the total Commissions paid to you in the 12 months preceding the claim;
we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, lost profits, or lost data, even if advised of the possibility;
nothing in this Section limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

14. Modifications

We may update this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version at the URL where you accepted the prior version. Material changes (Commission rate, payout terms, Cookie Window) require 30 days' prior notice sent to your account email. Continued participation after the effective date of the updated terms constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

15.1 Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

15.2 Jurisdiction

Subject to Section 15.3, the competent courts of Hunedoara County, Romania (the courts holding territorial jurisdiction over our registered office in Crișcior, Hunedoara) have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

15.3 EU consumer rights

If you are a consumer (not a business) resident in the EU, this Section does not deprive you of rights under the law of your member state of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your state.

15.4 Informal resolution first

Before initiating formal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution by email for at least 30 days.

16. General

16.1 Entire agreement

This Agreement is the entire agreement between us regarding the Program and supersedes prior negotiations or agreements.

16.2 Severability

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

16.3 No waiver

Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.

You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign it as part of a corporate reorganisation or sale.

16.5 Notices

We send notices to your account email. You send notices to contact@profit-scanner.com.
