a. “Affiliate” – The business, individual, or entity participating in the Affiliate Program to promote the MARKEDlegal Membership using an affiliate tracking code in exchange for receiving a commission from COMPANY for sales directly resulting from such promotion.
b. “Affiliate Site” – The Affiliate’s website which promotes the MARKEDlegal Membership.
c. “MARKEDlegal Membership” – MARKEDlegal is a subscription‑based legal education and resource platform providing intellectual‑property‑focused educational content, contract templates, general legal guidance in a group setting, and community support for entrepreneurs. MARKEDlegal does not provide individualized legal advice or create an attorney‑client relationship through membership access alone.
d. “Commission Fees” – The amount you will be paid for each Qualified Purchase by a Unique Customer that you refer to the MARKEDlegal Membership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
e. “Qualified Purchase” – the completed purchase of an active, paid MARKEDlegal membership subscription (including Essentials, Growth, or Accelerator) by a new customer who accesses the MARKEDlegal platform through the Affiliate’s unique referral link and successfully completes checkout.
A Qualified Purchase occurs only when:
The membership subscription payment is successfully processed;
The subscription is not canceled, refunded, charged back, or reversed;
The customer remains active and in good standing beyond any applicable refund or trial period; and
The purchase is properly tracked and attributed to the Affiliate within MARKEDlegal’s affiliate tracking system.
Only MARKEDlegal membership subscriptions qualify as Qualified Purchase. Trademark filings, legal consultations, custom legal services, one‑time purchases, or any other professional services do not constitute Qualified Purchase and are not commissionable.
Commissions are earned solely on Qualified Purchase and are payable only while the referred member maintains an active, paid membership subscription by a Unique Customer that is not excluded under Section 7. COMPANY reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether a transaction qualifies as a Qualified Purchase.
