Partner program terms
Commission
20% for 12 calendar months in USD. The commission basis is eligible product revenue actually collected after customer discounts, excluding tax, shipping, refunded amounts and non-eligible products. Processor fees are not deducted.
Qualification and earning window
The first eligible paid purchase starts the calendar-month earning window in UTC. Qualified referrals retain their recorded rate, duration, currency and calculation basis. Payments at or after the ending instant do not earn under that window. Trials, unpaid invoices and zero-dollar purchases earn no cash. Each purchase is rounded half-up to the currency's minor unit.
Attribution
A valid redeemed code or authenticated server-linked referral can establish credit. Otherwise, the last eligible tracked touch within 30 days may qualify. Conflicting verified identifiers wait for review. Verified customer identity and accepted terms are required. Self-referrals do not earn. A link or click alone does not prove an eligible purchase.
Eligible product coverage
The authenticated eligible-revenue allocation supplied by the merchant's signed integration. No product-catalog allowlist is configured by this text.
Participation criteria
Approved ambassadors earn 20% of eligible GoScratch platform revenue from genuinely new referred brand workspaces for 12 calendar months after their first qualifying paid fee. No rewards for creator referrals, free signups, five free monthly posts, unspent credit purchases, ad spend, creator compensation, taxes or payment-processing charges. Paid publishing credits count only when a destination post succeeds; paid monthly subscription revenue and retained marketplace application fees count. Refunds reverse the related commission. Self-referrals, existing brands and duplicate attribution do not earn.
These are merchant-reviewed criteria; prose does not activate unsupported product or country filters.
Promotion policy
Clearly disclose the commercial relationship wherever the product is recommended. Do not submit private customer data, bank details or identity documents as promotional material.
No spam, misleading claims, brand-keyword bidding or incentivized clicks.
Hold
New eligible earnings become payable 30 days after they are recorded. The hold is set when an earning is created. Later policy changes do not move an existing hold-until timestamp. Payable eligibility does not mean payment has been sent.
Payment policy
Payable balances are reviewed monthly on day 15 (UTC). Payments are settled outside Philos and recorded afterward. This is a review schedule, not an automatic payment or a guaranteed bank date.
Timezone: UTC. The merchant settles payments outside Philos and records their actual result. The stated schedule is a merchant review policy, not a guaranteed bank arrival date. Current eligibility, negative balances and payment-readiness requirements still apply.
Refunds
Refunds reverse matching cumulative commission up to the original earning. A refund after payment may create a negative balance. Philos does not automatically debit the partner's bank or rewrite an earlier payment receipt; recovery is a separate reviewed action under the accepted policy.
Disputes
A supported full-payment dispute reverses its commission while pending and keeps that reversal if lost. A confirmed win restores only the amount still owed after refunds, preserving the original hold. Refund and dispute reports cannot reverse the same earning twice. Partial, conflicting or unsupported disputes pause new payments for review without guessing a commission effect.
Changes
Material offer changes require acceptance before new referrals qualify. Already-qualified referrals keep their accepted economics; their eligible renewals, refunds, disputes and outstanding payments continue under the recorded rules. A sole reduction of the current hold does not require new acceptance and affects only newly-created earning rows.

The structured calculation and saved accepted offer govern earnings. A merchant addendum does not configure a different rate, product filter, attribution rule or payment automation.
Merchant addendum
GoScratch brand acquisition program: only genuinely new brand workspaces attributed through your tracked referral within its 30-day signup window qualify. A brand may use its free monthly posts before its first paid fee; there is no 30-day payment deadline. The 12-calendar-month earning window starts at that first actual qualifying platform fee. Commission is 20% of eligible GoScratch platform revenue, not 20% of the brand’s sales, creator compensation or advertising budget. Eligible revenue is paid publishing-credit consumption on successful destination posts, actually collected publishing subscriptions, and retained marketplace application fees. Free posts, failed posts, unspent credit purchases, creator referrals, registrations alone, ad spend, creator compensation, taxes and payment-processing charges are excluded. Existing brands, self-referrals and duplicate attribution do not qualify. Actual fee refunds reverse the related commission once, including after the earning window ends. Earnings have a 30-day hold. Payable balances are reviewed monthly on day 15 in UTC; GoScratch settles approved payments outside Philos and records the actual result. This review schedule is not an automatic payment or guaranteed bank delivery date.
