Affiliate Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: 30th May 2025
These Affiliate Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) govern the participation of individuals or entities (“Affiliate”, “You”) in the Affiliate Programme (“Programme”) offered by The Class Plan (“we”, “us”, “our”). By applying to or participating in the Programme, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
1. Eligibility & Enrollment
1.1 Any individual may apply to join the Programme by submitting a written application via email, including a brief explanation of how they intend to promote The Class Plan.
1.2 Applicants do not need to be current subscribers to The Class Plan to be considered.
1.3 We reserve the sole and absolute right to approve or reject any application, for any reason and at our full discretion, without the obligation to provide reasoning.
2. Affiliate Obligations
2.1 Upon approval, the Affiliate will receive a unique promotional code which may be used by referred users to subscribe to The Class Plan.
2.2 Affiliates must comply with all applicable laws, including advertising standards, consumer protection regulations, and guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials.
2.3 Affiliates may not engage in misleading, false, or unethical promotional practices.
2.4 Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that their contact, bank, and Stripe account information is accurate and up to date.
3. Commission Structure
3.1 Affiliates will receive a percentage of the net revenue (defined as revenue remaining after deduction of Stripe processing fees, applicable taxes, and any other transaction-related charges) generated from active referred subscriptions.
3.1.1 The percentage of net revenue payable as commission is subject to change in accordance with the modification terms outlined in Clause 7.1.
3.2 Commissions are only earned after the referred user completes their free trial period and their first successful payment is processed.
3.3 If a referred user’s subscription is refunded, reversed, or disputed, no commission will be paid for that transaction.
4. Payout Terms
4.1 Commissions are calculated monthly and reports are typically issued within the first five (5) business days of the following calendar month.
4.2 Payouts are issued via Stripe Connect to eligible accounts within the European Economic Area (EEA).
4.3 Initial payouts to new Stripe Connect accounts may be delayed by up to seven (7) days due to Stripe’s verification procedures.
4.4 After several successful payouts, you may become eligible for accelerated processing (typically three (3) days).
4.5 It may take up to 24 hours from the issuance of the monthly report for funds to appear in your Stripe balance, although delays may occur depending on Stripe’s processing times.
4.6 If you are located outside the EEA, payments will be issued manually, subject to our discretion and verification processes.
5. Transactional Fees
5.1 Stripe Fees
5.1.1 The Class Plan will cover any standard transaction fees charged by Stripe for transferring funds to the affiliate’s connected Stripe account. However, any additional fees imposed by Stripe after the transfer—such as payout processing fees—will be the responsibility of the affiliate and deducted from their account balance.
5.1.2 The Class Plan is not liable for any fees, currency conversion costs, exchange rate fluctuations, or delays that may be applied by Stripe or the affiliate’s financial institution.
5.2 Manual Transfer Fees
5.2.1 For affiliates located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), any transaction or processing fees incurred when using alternative payout methods (e.g., PayPal or manual bank transfer) will be borne solely by the affiliate. The Class Plan will not be responsible for covering these costs.
6. Affiliate Deactivation Policy
6.1 Affiliates who have not generated any qualifying redemptions (i.e., no referred users successfully subscribed using their code) for three (3) consecutive months may be automatically deactivated.
6.2 Deactivation includes the revocation of access to reports, cancellation of assigned coupon codes, and removal from future promotional activities.
6.3 You may request reinstatement by submitting a new application for consideration.
7. Programme Modifications & Termination
7.1 We reserve the right to:
- Change the commission rate, payout structure, reporting format, or any other aspect of the Programme.
- Set, modify, or expire coupon codes at any time.
- Terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice.
7.2 In the event of any modification to your commission rate or programme structure, we will provide at least two (2) days’ notice to allow you to adjust accordingly.
7.3 Continued participation in the Programme after notification of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

- Total number of users who redeemed your affiliate code.
- Commissions earned for confirmed, eligible transactions.

- Loss of commissions due to technical errors, Stripe delays, or disputes.
- Any damages arising from your participation in the Programme.
- Payment delays caused by incorrect information, bank rejections, or external payment processors.
