Affiliate terms

1. Klibon is free for you

Affiliates never pay for Klibon. You create an account, join programs, generate tracked links and follow your commissions at no cost.

2. Who owes you money

Klibon does not pay you — the merchant does. Klibon computes what each merchant owes you under the terms of their program and produces a monthly statement. The merchant then pays you directly, using the payment details you entered in your profile, and marks the statement as paid.

This means your claim for a commission is against the merchant, not against Klibon. If a merchant does not pay, Klibon can show you the record of what was earned, but cannot pay in their place and cannot compel them to.

3. How a commission becomes payable

A sale attributed to one of your links creates a pending commission. It becomes approved once the merchant's refund window has elapsed without a refund. Approved commissions for a month are grouped into a statement. If the total is below the program's minimum payout, it carries over to the following month rather than being lost.

A refund reverses the corresponding commission. If it had already been paid to you, it appears as a deduction on your next statement with that merchant.

4. Program terms can change

A merchant may change their commission rate, cookie window or approval rules at any time. Changes apply to sales attributed after the change. Commissions already earned are not affected. A merchant may also pause or close a program, or remove you from it.

5. What you may not do

The following will get commissions reversed and may get you removed from a program or from Klibon:

• Referring yourself, or purchasing through your own link under another identity.
• Generating clicks that do not come from real people.
• Bidding on the merchant's brand terms where their program forbids it.
• Misrepresenting the product, or claiming to be the merchant.
• Spam, in any channel.

Klibon flags suspected self-referral automatically; the decision to accept or reverse the commission is the merchant's.

6. Disclosure

Where you are required to disclose that a link is an affiliate link — the FTC endorsement guides in the United States, and comparable rules elsewhere — that obligation is yours. It applies wherever you place the link.

7. Your data

Merchants whose programs you join can see your display name, your website, your bio and, when a statement is due, the payment details you entered — they need them to pay you. They see your click and conversion counts for their own program only. They do not see your activity in other programs.

8. Liability and changes

Klibon is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law we are not liable for commissions a merchant fails to pay, for sales that were not attributed, or for a merchant's decision to reject or reverse a commission. We will give notice of material changes to these terms by email. Questions: [email protected].
