Affiliate Terms & Conditions

Version 2026-10

1. Agreement and participation

1.1. To join the Program, Affiliates need a Golf Practice Buddy account with a valid email address. To receive payments, Affiliates must provide a PayPal email address; PayPal handles the identity and payment details of the account holder.

1.2. Golf Practice Buddy reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Affiliates will be notified of changes via email. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of changes.

1.3. Affiliates must not engage in illegal, misleading or unauthorised promotions, including spamming or unauthorised use of the Golf Practice Buddy name or logo.

1.4. Affiliates must promote Golf Practice Buddy professionally, truthfully and in compliance with applicable laws.

Violation of these Terms may result in suspension, loss of commissions or removal from the Program.

2. Affiliate account and eligibility

2.1. Any member with a Golf Practice Buddy account, free or paid, can join the Program from the Affiliate page. Golf Practice Buddy may decline, suspend or remove an Affiliate at its discretion (see 4.10 and 8).

2.2. Affiliates need an active Golf Practice Buddy account to participate.

3. Advertising and promotion

3.1. Affiliates may use links, banners and text ads provided by Golf Practice Buddy.

3.2. Affiliates may not promote non-affiliate promotional codes, including customer newsletters or codes from other Affiliates.

3.3. Expired or invalid offers must be removed from promotions immediately.

3.4. Affiliate links and codes must not be shared on third-party coupon sites.

3.5. Any sales from improper promotion may result in commission loss.

4. Commission structure and payments

4.1. Affiliates earn 10% commission on every subscription payment made by a member they referred, for as long as that member stays subscribed. Commission is calculated on the price the member paid after any discount and excluding VAT, sales tax and similar taxes, because that tax is collected for and paid to governments and is never received by Golf Practice Buddy. Commission is calculated before any app store or payment processor fees, which Golf Practice Buddy bears. For example, a £19.99 payment that includes £3.33 UK VAT earns commission on £16.66.

4.1.1. Payments made through the website, the Apple App Store and Google Play all qualify. Where a store does not report the tax on an individual payment, the tax is calculated from the standard VAT or sales tax rate of the buyer’s country.

4.1.2. Golf Practice Buddy may set a different rate for an individual Affiliate by agreement. A change of rate applies to payments made after the change.

4.2. Commissions are based only on tracked referrals. Golf Practice Buddy is not responsible for lost commission due to customers entering incorrect or invalid codes.

4.3. A 30-day cookie is set when a visitor first reaches the website through an Affiliate’s link. If they create an account within those 30 days, they become that Affiliate’s referral. The first Affiliate link used is the one credited; a later link does not replace it.

4.3.1. Mobile app signups are credited by entering the Affiliate’s referral code during signup or within 7 days of account creation. App referral code entry is for attribution only and does not provide an in-app purchase link or alternative purchase method.

4.3.2. A member cannot be their own referral, and each member can be credited to only one Affiliate.

4.4. Commission is held for 30 days after each payment to allow for refunds, then becomes payable. Payable commission is paid via PayPal around the 28th of each month, provided the Affiliate’s payable balance is at least £5.00. Smaller balances carry forward to the next month.

4.4.1. All commission payments are made in GBP (£). Commission on payments made in other currencies is converted to GBP at the time it is earned. Any conversion to the Affiliate’s local currency is made by PayPal.

4.4.2. Golf Practice Buddy pays the PayPal fees for sending commission payments.

4.5. If a referred member cancels their subscription, commission stops because no further payments are made. If the same member subscribes again later, commission resumes.

4.6. Refunded, reversed or charged-back payments do not qualify for commission. Commission on a refunded payment is removed from the Affiliate’s balance in proportion to the amount refunded, including where the commission has already been paid, in which case it is deducted from future commission. Commission on an annual subscription is earned in full when the annual payment is made.

4.7. Affiliates are responsible for any taxes due on their earnings.

4.8. Affiliates must make sure their PayPal email is correct to receive payments. Affiliates will be invited by email to add one if they have not. For security, when a PayPal email is changed, the account email is notified and payments to the new address are held for 7 days.

4.9. If a payment is unclaimed, returned or fails, PayPal returns it to Golf Practice Buddy (unclaimed payments after 30 days) and the amount is credited back to the Affiliate’s balance for a later payment.

4.10. Golf Practice Buddy may withhold commission and suspend an Affiliate while investigating suspected fraud, self-referral or a breach of these Terms. Commission obtained through fraud or a breach of these Terms is forfeited.

8. Termination

8.2. Upon termination, all Affiliate links and promotional materials must be removed. No further commission is earned after termination.

8.3. Commission earned before termination, including where the Affiliate deletes their Golf Practice Buddy account, is still paid once its hold period ends, provided the balance is at least £5.00 and a valid PayPal email is held, unless it is forfeited under 4.10.
