Effective Date: October 24, 2025

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY JOINING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE BLAZE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

This Blaze Affiliate Program Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your participation in the Blaze Affiliate Program (the “Program”), which is operated by Almanac Labs, Inc. (dba Blaze.ai) (“Blaze,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By joining the Program, you (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agree to comply with the terms outlined here.

This Agreement applies only to the Program and does not change or replace the terms of any other agreement you may have with Blaze for other products or services. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and Blaze’s general Terms of Service, solely as it relates to the Program, this Agreement will control.

As an Affiliate, you are responsible for ensuring that you, as well as any of your employees, contractors, and agents, comply with these terms. 

“Blaze Site” refers to the Blaze website and properties, including the website located at https://blaze.ai

“Your Site” refers to any websites, channels, or platforms you use to promote Blaze. 

“Licensed Materials” means Blaze trademarks, logos, creatives, and marketing materials we provide or authorize for use in the Program.

1. Enrollment and Eligibility

To enroll in the Program, you must complete an application in the affiliate portal.  This can be done by: (i) visiting https://blaze.ai/affiliates and selecting “Apply Now”; (ii) completing the registration process; and (iii) agreeing to the terms of this Agreement.

Blaze reviews all applications and reserves the right to accept or decline any application at its sole discretion. Participation is not available where prohibited by law or to any person or entity subject to sanctions or trade restrictions, or who is otherwise ineligible as provided in this Agreement. By submitting your application, you represent and warrant that you are not (and are not owned or controlled by) any sanction person or entity or located in any embargoed or comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction. 

Blaze may suspend or terminate your participation in the Program, at any time and in its sole discretion, if you do not comply with this Agreement.

2. How to Earn Affiliate Commissions

Upon acceptance into the Program, unique tracking links (“Links”) will be made available to you through the affiliate dashboard. Your use of the Links is subject, at all times, to the terms of this Agreement, including the limited license in Section 10.

Standard Affiliate Commissions – Monthly Plans

Subject to the attribution rules in Section 4), for each person you refer to Blaze using your Links who completes their first paid subscription of a covered Blaze product (each a “Referral”), you will earn Affiliate Commissions as follows:

  • 30% Commission: For the first two months of the Referral’s active paid subscription, and for so long as the Program remains active.
  • 15% Recurring Commission: For each subsequent month while the Referral remains an active, paying subscriber, and for so long as the Program remains active.

Multi-Month Plans

If a Referral purchases a multi-month plan (e.g., quarterly or annual), you will receive a 30% Commission on the initial payment; subsequent renewals of multi-month plans are commissionable at the 15% recurring rate for so long as the Program remains active.

General Terms

  • Net Revenue, Exclusions
    • Commissions are calculated on the net revenue actually received by Blaze from Referrals, exclusive of credits, payment processing fees, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, discounts, or amounts not actually collected.
    • The following are not commissionable unless expressly authorized by Blaze, in writing, prior to the customer purchase: self-referrals; employee or contractor purchases; the use of unauthorized coupons or promotions; transactions outside of the attribution window; fraudulent or abusive activity; and any ineligible product, plan, or SKU designated by Blaze from time to time.
    • Commissions are paid only on valid transactions tracked through your assigned Links and recorded by Blaze’s affiliate platform.  
  • Clawbacks, Setoff, Negative Balances
    • Blaze reserves the right to audit and adjust Commissions. Blaze may withhold, reverse, or set off any Commissions due to actual or suspected returns,  chargebacks, cancellations, non-payment, breach, policy violations, billing disputes, fraud or manipulation, or tracking anomalies. Reversals may create a negative balance, which Blaze may offset against current or future Commissions, or for which Blaze may invoice you.
    • If you violate this Agreement, including participating in  prohibited PPC activity, all unpaid Affiliate Commissions are forfeited and your balance may be reset to $0, at Blaze’s sole discretion.

3. Payment; Processing; Taxes

Processing Timeline

Commissions typically take between thirty (30) to ninety (90) days to process to account for refunds and fraud review. Approved Commissions are paid on a regular monthly cadence as specified in the dashboard. 

Thresholds; Currency; Method 

Payments of Commissions are made in the currency and via the payout method specified by Blaze. Blaze may delay or withhold payment while investigating suspected violations, fraud, or tracking anomalies. 

Tax Forms; Withholding 

You are responsible for all taxes arising from the issuance of Commissions to you. Blaze may require a completed Form W-9, W-8BEN, or other tax documentation prior to payment and may withhold amounts as required by law.

Statements

Activity statements are available in the dashboard. Blaze’s records govern the calculation of Commissions. 

Payout Methods

You must maintain a valid payout method supported by the Program to receive Commissions. If you do not provide payout details within twelve (12) months of an action generating a right to Commissions, you forfeit payment of Commissions for that action. Your use of any third-party payout service is subject to its separate terms.

4. Attribution and Referral Window

Attribution Standard 

Referrals are credited on a last-click basis to the last valid Link clicked prior to the qualifying trial signup, provided the trial is initiated within thirty (30) days after the click. A Commission is earned only if the referred user upgrades to a paid subscription within thirty (30) days after starting the trial. Referrals and associated Commissions are not split or transferred.

Reassignment 

Blaze may, in its discretion, reassign credit or award full or partial Commissions where an Affiliate’s education, training, or coaching materially caused a purchase despite last-click mechanics.

Disputes 

Any dispute regarding tracking or attribution must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days after the disputed transaction first appears in your dashboard. Blaze’s good-faith determination governs.

6. FTC Disclosure Requirements

Where it is not expressly clear that the Link is a paid advertisement, paid advertising, or otherwise promotional in nature, and/or that you are receiving compensation from Blaze in connection with the Program, you must include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog posts, social media posts, or any other content where you include a Link or otherwise advertise or endorse the Site or Blaze in connection with the Program. This “material connection disclosure” statement should be clear, conspicuous, concise, and prominent, proximate disclosure that we are compensating you for your participation in the Program. Also, any statements you make about Blaze must reflect your honest opinions, beliefs, or experiences and must not be false, misleading, or unsupported. You must follow these guidelines in making your material connection disclosures:

  • Disclosures must be made as close as possible to the claims.
  • A plain language disclosure such as “I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post” would be sufficient. A disclosure of “affiliate link” by itself is not sufficient because consumers might not understand that “affiliate link” means that a commission payment will occur for purchases made through the link.
  • Use #Ad where there isn’t sufficient room to explain more about the affiliate connection
  • Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure (e.g., disclosure should be visible before the jump).
  • Pop-up disclosures are prohibited.
  • These standards apply to all advertising and messaging that uses the Link.
