## Referral & Affiliate Program Updates

We've rewritten the commission sections of the **Creator Referral & Affiliate Program** so that it sets out exactly which revenue earns referral commission, how long the attribution window runs, and how affiliate commission works on Fanvue Checkout sales.

### What's changed?

#### [Creator Referral & Affiliate Program](/creator-referral-affiliate#13-referral-commission)

* Introduced a defined **Qualifying Revenue** concept listing the revenue that earns referral commission: tips, paid messages and pay-per-view unlocks, paid posts and content unlocks (including Media Links), profile subscriptions and their renewals, and Fanvue App Store purchases.
* Set out what does not earn referral commission, including Fanvue Checkout sales, commission earned by the referred Creator, Promotional Credits and giveaways, and transactions with a zero net value such as free trials and fully discounted purchases.
* Documented the **attribution window** in full: 36 months for Creators who registered before 9th April 2026, and 12 months for Creators who registered on or after that date.
* Confirmed that attribution requires the referral link or code to be applied at registration, and that commission does not accrue while a Referring User's account is suspended, banned, or closed.
* Confirmed that affiliate commission applies to purchases made through the Promoted Creator's **Checkout Links**, and that it is calculated on the Promoted Creator's net proceeds after Fanvue Checkout fees.

#### [Fanvue Checkout Seller Terms](/checkout-seller-terms#6-fees-payouts-and-taxes)

* Added Section 6.1.7 confirming how referral and affiliate commission apply to Fanvue Checkout sales.

#### [Creator Terms & Conditions](/creator-terms#6-referrals-and-affiliate-commissions)

* Aligned Section 6 with the Qualifying Revenue definition and the attribution window.

### Why?

The Program now spells out in one place what earns commission and for how long, so you can see what a referral is worth without cross-referencing other policies. The 36-month window for earlier referrals is written down for the first time, and the commission rate and cap are unchanged.
