Affiliate Program Terms

Last updated: November 2026

These terms govern participation in the ClearPen affiliate program (the "Program") operated by PKDM Services OÜ (registry number 17198549), Juhkentali 8, 10132 Tallinn, Estonia ("ClearPen", "we"). By applying to or participating in the Program you agree to these terms, our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

1. Joining

• Applications are reviewed manually. We look at your existing content and audience before activating an account, and we may decline any application without giving a reason.
• You must be at least 18 and able to receive payouts through the payout methods offered by our affiliate platform (currently PayPal or Wise).
• Affiliate accounts are managed through our affiliate platform provider (Rewardful). Its dashboard shows your links, coupon codes, referrals, commissions and payouts.

2. How referrals are tracked

• Your affiliate link places a first-party cookie in the visitor's browser for 90 days. The first affiliate link a visitor clicks is credited (first touch).
• A referred customer is credited to you when they create an account during the cookie period, or when an account that has never paid makes its first purchase during the cookie period.
• Your coupon code also attributes a sale to you when the customer applies it at checkout.
• Visitors who block cookies, clear them, or buy from a different browser or device may not be tracked. We do not credit referrals retroactively.

3. Commissions

A commission is created when a referred customer's first successful charge clears: either the first charge of a pay-today plan, or the first charge after a free trial. No commission is earned for a signup, a trial start, or a trial that is cancelled before its first charge.

• Monthly plans at list price: $13 per Pro sale, $26 per Power sale.
• Annual plans at list price: $40 per Pro sale, $80 per Power sale.
• Regional prices: where the customer pays one of our regional prices (lower prices in some countries), the commission is 80% of the first charge instead of the flat amounts above.
• Coupon sales: where the customer uses your coupon (20% off for 3 months), monthly commissions are $10 per Pro sale and $20 per Power sale. Annual commissions are unchanged.
• No commission on the Starter plan, word packs, passes, renewals, upgrades, or purchases by you, your household, your company or your employees.

Commission amounts are in US dollars. One commission per customer, on the first charge only; later renewals do not earn additional commissions.

4. Holds, refunds and clawbacks

• A commission becomes payable 30 days after the charge it relates to. This covers our 14-day money-back guarantee and the time a card dispute takes to appear.
• If the charge is refunded, disputed or charged back, or the purchase is found to be fraudulent or in breach of these terms, the commission is cancelled. If it was already paid, we may deduct it from your next payout or ask for it back.

5. Payouts

• Payable commissions are paid monthly through the affiliate platform, once your payable balance reaches $50. Smaller balances roll over.
• Payout processing fees charged by the payout provider are borne by you. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings and for providing the tax information the platform requires.

6. How you may promote ClearPen

You must describe ClearPen accurately and in line with how we describe it ourselves: a tool that helps writers keep their own voice from being falsely flagged as AI, shows every change it makes, and includes an AI detector. In particular you must not:

• Claim or imply that ClearPen makes text "undetectable", "bypasses", "beats" or "fools" AI detectors, or guarantee any detection result.
• Promote ClearPen for students, essays, homework, exams, theses or any academic work, or in any context of academic dishonesty.
• Invent reviews, results, statistics or endorsements, or present our marketing placeholders as facts.
• Run paid search advertising on "ClearPen" or any variation of our name, or run any Google Ads campaign that sends traffic to clearpen.ai. Paid social advertising requires our written approval first.
• Use our name or marks in a domain name, social handle or app name, or present yourself as ClearPen.
• Post your links or coupon code on coupon, deal or voucher sites without our written approval.
• Refer yourself, your household, company or employees; use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframes, bots, incentivised traffic, or any technique that creates referrals without a genuine visitor choice.
• Send unsolicited email or messages (spam) containing your link.

7. Disclosure

You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship with ClearPen wherever you post a link or code, in a way that meets the US FTC Endorsement Guides and the equivalent rules where you operate. For example: "I earn a commission if you buy through this link." The disclosure must be visible before the link is clicked, not hidden in a footer or behind a "more" button.

8. Our materials

We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the logos, screenshots, copy and other assets we provide for the Program, only to promote ClearPen under these terms. You may not alter our logos or use our materials for anything else.

9. Relationship

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in the Program creates an employment, agency, partnership or joint-venture relationship, and you may not make commitments on our behalf.

10. Changes, suspension and termination

• We may change commission rates, the hold period or any other part of these terms with 14 days' notice by email or in the affiliate dashboard. Changes do not reduce commissions already created.
• Either of us may end your participation at any time. Payable commissions earned before an ordinary termination are still paid.
• If you breach section 6 or 7, we may terminate immediately and cancel all unpaid commissions, including those still in the hold period, without further obligation.
• We may pause or close the Program at any time. Payable commissions earned before the closure are still paid.

11. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you under the Program is limited to the unpaid commissions due to you at the time of the claim. We are not liable for lost profits or indirect losses, or for tracking failures caused by browsers, devices, blockers or third-party services.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Estonia. Disputes are subject to the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, unless mandatory consumer law where you live provides otherwise.
