Founding partner pilot · effective September 7, 2026

Partner terms and sharing guidance

This pilot is for independent creators and event professionals who choose how, when and whether to recommend Given Dearly. These terms become binding only when Given Dearly approves a partner and the partner accepts them in writing or in the partner dashboard.

How attribution and commission work

Your personal link attributes an eligible purchase when it is used within 30 days before account creation and checkout. Commission is 20% of eligible net event revenue: the amount actually collected for the qualifying event purchase, less sales tax, discounts, refunds, chargebacks and reversals. Plus commissions, if offered in your dashboard, are limited to the first three successfully paid Plus months at the displayed rate. Self-referrals, fraudulent traffic, purchases made primarily for resale, and activity that violates these terms are not eligible.

Commission begins as pending for 30 days after payment, then may be approved once the transaction clears the refund/chargeback review. The minimum payout balance is $25. Approved balances are paid monthly after you submit the required payout and tax information. Given Dearly may correct an error or reverse a commission tied to a refund, chargeback, fraud, or attribution mistake.

Founding Partner audience benefit

Active Founding Partners receive a personal referral link that gives their referred customers $5 off eligible Given Dearly event purchases while this Founding Partner audience benefit remains active. The benefit may be applied to eligible future celebrations purchased from the same referred Given Dearly account; it is not limited to that customer’s first event. The benefit is for Founding Partner pilot participants only, is subject to proper attribution and eligibility, and may not be combined with another promotional discount unless Given Dearly specifically permits it.

Given Dearly may offer different discounts, referral rules, attribution windows, or commission structures to future partner cohorts. We may modify, pause, or end the Founding Partner audience benefit when reasonably necessary for legal, fraud-prevention, payment-provider, or operational reasons. Partners may not use their own referral link for personal purchases.

Disclosures and truthful recommendations

Use a clear disclosure with every endorsement when you receive commission, a discount, free access or any other material connection. Place it with the recommendation where people will see it—for example, “Ad,” “Sponsored,” or “I may earn a commission if you use my link.” Do not hide it in a profile, a group of hashtags, or after a “more” link. Use the same language as the endorsement. Do not make claims you cannot substantiate, and only describe your genuine experience with the product.

Independent relationship and tax information

Partners are independent businesses, not employees, agents, joint venturers, or representatives of Given Dearly. You control your own content, schedule and methods, subject to these terms and applicable law. Before any payout, U.S. partners must provide a completed Form W-9 and accurate payout details through the method Given Dearly designates. Given Dearly may issue required information returns, including Form 1099-NEC where applicable. International partners must provide the tax documentation required for their status before payment. You are responsible for your own taxes, filings, and expenses.

Brand, privacy, and conduct

Use Given Dearly’s name and approved assets accurately. Do not imply that we guarantee earnings, make medical, legal or financial claims, send spam, buy deceptive engagement, or collect/share private customer information. Do not use your link in paid search ads on Given Dearly brand terms, coupon sites, or misleading domains without written approval. Protect any non-public information you receive.

Changes and ending the pilot

Given Dearly may pause, change, or end the pilot with reasonable notice where practical, and may suspend a link immediately to protect customers, comply with law, or address fraud or material breach. Ending the relationship does not remove the obligation to resolve valid, approved unpaid balances or valid chargebacks.
