PassProfessor Affiliate Program — Terms & Conditions
Last updated: November 5, 2026
These terms govern participation in the PassProfessor affiliate program. PassProfessor is an independent exam-preparation provider based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and operating 100% online. By applying to the program, and again when your application is approved, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not apply.
1. Enrollment and approval
1.1. Participation is by application. Every application is reviewed by a person — approval is not automatic, and we may decline or revoke participation at our discretion.
1.2. You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a contract. Program participation is void where prohibited.
1.3. One affiliate account per person or business. Creating additional accounts to route referrals to yourself, reset a payout threshold, or work around a decision we have made ends all of your accounts and forfeits unpaid commissions.
2. How tracking works
2.1. On approval you receive a unique referral link. When a visitor arrives through your link, a first-party cookie is set for 60 days. A purchase made within that window is credited to you. Attribution is last-click: if a visitor clicks more than one affiliate’s link, the most recent click before purchase receives the credit.
2.2. You may also be issued a unique coupon code (see §6). A purchase made with your coupon is credited to you regardless of cookies or clicks.
2.3. Tracking depends on the visitor’s browser accepting cookies and on your link or code reaching us intact. Blocked cookies, privacy tools, a cleared browser, or a modified link can mean a referral is never recorded. We cannot credit a referral we have no record of; our tracking records are the final word on what was earned.
3. Commissions
3.1. Commission rates, calculated on the order total after any discount and excluding tax:
| Programs | Commission |
|---|---|
| College courses ($9) | 40% |
| Premium programs ($129–$149) | 25% |
| All other programs ($29–$99) | 30% |
3.2. Partner tier. Affiliates who record 25 or more kept sales in each of two consecutive months earn +5 percentage points on every rate above (45% / 30% / 35%) for as long as they maintain that level, assessed monthly.
3.3. A sale is “kept” when the order stands after the holding period in §4 and any refund window has run. Commissions are earned only on kept sales.
3.4. Rates may be adjusted by PassProfessor for future sales with at least 14 days’ notice by email and in the affiliate dashboard. A rate change never applies retroactively to sales already recorded.
4. Holding period, refunds, and clawback
4.1. Every commission is subject to a 30-day holding period from the date of the order. A commission becomes payable only after that period.
4.2. If an order is refunded, charged back, or found to be fraudulent — at any time — the associated commission is reversed (clawback). If the commission was already paid, the reversed amount is deducted from your future payouts. This applies to self-referral purchases and to any sale generated in violation of §7, without exception.
5. Payouts
5.1. Payouts run monthly, net-30, for payable commissions totaling $50 or more. Balances under $50 roll forward to the next month.
5.2. Payouts are made through the payout method you select in your affiliate account (Stripe or PayPal where available; otherwise by arrangement). You are responsible for keeping your payout details correct. We are not liable for a payment that fails or goes astray because your details were wrong, incomplete, or closed, nor for the payment provider’s fees or processing delays.
5.3. Tax forms. U.S. affiliates must provide a completed Form W-9 before the first payout; no payout is released without it. You are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes due on your commissions.
6. Coupon codes
6.1. We may issue you a unique coupon code. Every PassProfessor affiliate coupon carries a standing 10% buyer discount off list price. Your commission on a coupon sale is calculated on the discounted total (§3.1).
6.2. Your code is issued for your own audience placements only — your site, channel, community, or mailing list.
6.3. Coupon leakage is prohibited. Posting or submitting a code that was not issued to you, submitting codes to coupon aggregator sites other than your own issued code placed with your own content, or using your code for your own purchases (self-referral) results in immediate removal from the program and clawback of commissions on the affected sales.
7. Promotion rules — what you may and may not do
7.1. No brand-term bidding. You may not bid on “PassProfessor,” on program-name-plus-brand combinations, or on misspellings or typos of them, on any advertising platform. You may not direct-link paid ads to our pages.
7.2. Claims compliance — contractual. You may promote PassProfessor using only the claims on the current PassProfessor claims sheet, provided to you in the affiliate dashboard: verified question counts per program, the free-sample offer, published prices, and the per-program explanations line only for programs the claims sheet permits. You may edit wording for your own voice; you may never edit facts. You may never state or imply pass rates, pass guarantees, score predictions, student counts, or enrollment numbers.
7.3. No fabricated reviews or testimonials. You may not publish a “review” of a program you have not genuinely used; may not present scripted testimonials, star ratings, or student quotes (none exist to quote); and may not pay for or incentivize reviews. Honest first-person reviews after genuine use are welcome.
7.4. FTC disclosure. Every placement that carries your referral link or code must include a clear disclosure of your affiliate relationship, consistent with the FTC’s endorsement guides. This is non-negotiable and is checked in our compliance sweeps.
7.5. No spam, no deception. No unsolicited bulk messaging; no cookie stuffing; no toolbar or browser-extension injection; no impersonation of PassProfessor or of any licensing body or exam vendor; no implying any official affiliation with any exam authority. PassProfessor is an independent prep provider and is not affiliated with any exam body.
7.6. Content standards. Your placements must not present PassProfessor programs with “brand new” or “just launched” framing — PassProfessor is an established catalog that continues to expand — and must never pair our links or codes with cheating, answer-key, “exam dump,” or leaked-question content of any kind.
8. Review copies
Creators may request access to a program for genuine review use. Access is provisioned manually, is for the named creator only, and may be withdrawn if unused or misused. A review written after genuine use is yours — we do not script, approve, or edit affiliate reviews, and §7.3 applies to them in full.
9. Compliance checks and enforcement
We review live placements on a recurring basis, including claims, disclosure, and coupon use. A violation of §6 or §7 ends the affiliate relationship and forfeits unpaid commissions on violating sales. Serious or repeated violations may result in clawback of paid commissions on violating sales under §4.2.
10. General
10.1. The relationship is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship.
10.2. We may update these terms with at least 14 days’ notice by email and in the affiliate dashboard; continued participation after the effective date is acceptance.
10.3. Either party may end participation at any time. Commissions that are payable and compliant at termination are paid in the next regular payout run; commissions on violating sales are handled under §9.
10.4. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah.
