Affiliate Program Terms
Last updated: August 22, 2026
These terms govern Quborly Affiliates, operated by Ajolla Inc. (doing business as Quborly). They are additional to the Terms of Service. The version recorded when you apply is affiliate-terms-2026-08-22.
Quborly Affiliates is separate from Quborly Earn (a host-funded commission on one event’s tickets) and from referral credit (promotional advertising credit for a new signup). You may take part in more than one; they pay different things from different sources.
1. What the program pays
If a creator signs up through your affiliate link, you earn 1% of the platform service fee Quborly earns on that creator’s ticket and membership sales, for 12 months from their signup.
Quborly’s service fee is 5% of the sale price, paid by the buyer on top of the price. Your share comes out of that fee — not out of the creator’s proceeds, and not by charging buyers more. Creators continue to keep 100% of their listed price, and buyers pay the same either way.
Worked example. A referred creator sells $100,000 USD of tickets during the 12-month window. Quborly earns 5% of that — $5,000 USD — and your 1% share of that fee is $50 USD. This is an arithmetic illustration of the formula, not a prediction, a typical result, or a representation that any creator will sell anything.
2. What revenue counts
Your share is calculated only on Quborly’s service fee from:
- paid event tickets sold by the referred creator, including conditional pre-sales that reach their minimum and are charged; and
- paid community memberships in communities the referred creator owns, on each invoice that is actually paid.
The following do not count:
- free events, $0 tiers, and fully discounted sales — there is no fee, so there is nothing to share;
- the creator’s own plan subscriptions (Creator Pro, Scale) and Business Plus page subscriptions;
- promotion and advertising purchases, including any paid with promotional credit Quborly granted;
- the payment-processing portion of the buyer’s service fee, which belongs to Stripe and is never Quborly’s revenue;
- taxes, tips, add-ons, and events produced by Quborly itself.
3. Attribution
- Following your link sets a first-party cookie. If that visitor creates a Quborly account within the cookie’s life, they are bound to you at the moment the account is confirmed.
- One affiliate per creator, permanently. A creator who is already bound cannot be re-attributed by a later link, by you or by anyone else. Attribution is not transferable, and cannot be bought, sold, or reassigned.
- Only genuinely new accounts qualify. An existing user, a re-registration, or an account you control does not.
- You cannot refer yourself. Referring an account you own or control in order to earn on your own events is prohibited and is blocked automatically where we can detect it.
- Attribution depends on the visitor’s browser keeping the cookie. Cleared cookies, private windows, in-app browsers, tracking blockers, and switching devices can all prevent it. That is a normal limitation of the technology and is not a basis for a claim.
- The 12-month window runs from the referred creator’s signup and does not restart or extend.
4. How the amount is calculated
Each qualifying sale records the exact service fee Quborly earned on it. At settlement those amounts are added together and your share is applied once, to the total.
We do this because rounding every sale on its own would systematically underpay you: a share of a fee is often a fraction of a cent per ticket, and rounding each one away would discard most of a long tail of small sales. Your dashboard therefore shows the fee total and the rate separately, as well as the resulting amount.
The rate that applies to a referred creator is the rate in force when they were bound to you. If we change the program rate, the change applies to creators bound after it and never retroactively reprices creators already bound.
5. Payouts
- Each accrual is held for 30 days before it becomes payable, so the refund and chargeback window has passed.
- Payouts are sent once your payable balance reaches $25 USD. Below that the balance rolls forward — it is not lost.
- You must complete Stripe payout onboarding, including the identity and tax information Stripe requires. Amounts accrued before onboarding is complete are held, not forfeited.
- Payouts are made in US dollars through Stripe. Quborly does not hold your funds as a bank and pays no interest on an accrued balance.
6. Reversals and clawbacks
- If a qualifying sale is refunded, released, cancelled, charged back, or a pre-sale does not reach its minimum, the related accrual is reversed before payout.
- If an amount has already been paid when the underlying sale is reversed, we may recover it by offsetting future payouts or by requesting repayment.
- We may withhold, reverse, or claw back any amount — including after payment — connected to fraud, self-dealing, manufactured signups, or a breach of section 7.
7. Required disclosure and prohibited promotion
United States law requires anyone promoting something for compensation to disclose that connection (FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials, 16 C.F.R. Part 255). Disclosure is a condition of participating. Every post, story, video, email, message, stream, or page where you share your affiliate link must clearly say you may be paid — in the same place as the promotion, visible without tapping “more”, and spoken as well as captioned in video. A platform’s built-in “paid partnership” label alone is not sufficient.
The Prohibited Activities policy applies in full. In addition, you may not:
- bid on “Quborly”, misspellings of it, or confusingly similar terms in paid search, or run ads that appear to originate from Quborly. Quborly advertises on those keywords itself; competing against us for our own brand traffic takes credit for signups that were already coming and raises our costs. This is a strict rule and breaching it ends your participation;
- make any earnings claim, income projection, or statement about what an affiliate or a creator can expect to make. We publish no such figures and you may not invent them;
- create, or ask anyone to create, fake, duplicate, automated, or throwaway accounts, or refer accounts you own or control;
- use bots, click farms, automated traffic, iframes, forced clicks, cookie stuffing, or any means of manufacturing clicks or signups;
- send unsolicited bulk email, SMS, or direct messages, or otherwise promote in ways that violate CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, another platform’s rules, or equivalent law;
- impersonate Quborly, a host, or another person; register domains, handles, or app listings suggesting you are Quborly; or present yourself as an employee, agent, or official representative;
- misrepresent what Quborly is, what it costs, what a creator receives, or the terms of any event;
- resell, sublicense, or transfer your affiliate link, or list it on coupon, cashback, or incentive sites without our written consent.
8. Your vanity link
Your link name is licensed to you for use in this program. It is not your property, may not impersonate a person, brand, or organization you do not represent, and may be reclaimed if it does, if it is dormant, or if your participation ends. We may refuse or change any link name.
9. Approval, suspension, and termination
- Participation requires approval. Applying reserves a link name but does not make it active, and we may decline any application without giving reasons.
- We may suspend or end your participation at any time. Suspension stops new attributions and new payouts; accruals already earned and not reversed are still paid unless section 6 applies.
- You may leave at any time. Existing attributions stop earning when you do.
- We may change these terms, the rate, the window, the payout threshold, or end the program. Material changes are published with a new version identifier and apply going forward.
10. Your status and taxes
You participate as an independent party. This program does not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship, and you have no authority to make commitments on behalf of Quborly or any creator. You are solely responsible for all taxes on amounts you receive. Stripe collects the tax information required to pay you and may issue information returns (such as a Form 1099) where the law requires. Quborly does not withhold taxes and does not give tax advice.
11. No warranty and no earnings guarantee
The program is provided as-is. Quborly does not guarantee any clicks, signups, sales, or earnings. Whether you earn anything depends entirely on whether creators you refer choose to sell tickets, and how much. Many referred creators will generate no fee at all. We do not warrant uninterrupted attribution or that any event will take place. The limitation of liability, governing law, and dispute resolution sections of the Terms of Service apply here.
