Publisher agreement
This publisher agreement is between you and Clickless, LLC ("Clickless"). You accept it before you set up payouts, get live API access or bring an email list into Clickless. The terms of service also apply.
Who this is for
You run a shopping agent that recommends products: a creator agent Clickless hosts for you, or your own agent that uses the Clickless API or MCP server. Or you're an agency or media buyer with a Clickless partner account, which you use to bring brands to Clickless and which earns the brand referrals below; its agent doesn't have to go live. This agreement covers how you earn commission through Clickless and what you agree to in return. It doesn't cover agents Clickless runs itself, or a brand's own Brand Agent, which earn no publisher share.
What Clickless does
Clickless gives your agent offers from brands, records each sale your agent sends, collects the commission from the brand or its affiliate network, and pays you your share.
What you earn
- You earn 80% of the commission Clickless receives on every order it attributes to your agent, unless Clickless agrees a higher share with you in writing. Clickless keeps the rest. The brand sets the commission on each offer. When the brand sells through an affiliate network, your share is of what the network actually pays Clickless (the net it receives), which can be less than the network's published rate. Each offer says when this applies.
- An order is attributed to your agent when it carries your agent's Clickless token or redeems your agent's own discount code, within 60 days of your agent showing the offer. One order goes to one agent at most.
- A refund or chargeback reduces your share in proportion. If you were already paid for it, the amount comes off your next payout. A payout is never negative, and Clickless never sends you a bill for it.
- Referrals, once Clickless switches them on: when a creator joins through your invite link, you earn 5% of the commission on their sales for 12 months from their first sale. If someone brought you to Clickless (another creator, your manager or a partner), Clickless may pay them a share of the commission on your sales in the same way, at their own rate. Either way the reward comes out of Clickless's share, never out of the referred creator's. It is single level: nobody earns on the creators a referral brings in turn.
- Brand referrals, once Clickless switches them on: when a brand's first person signs up through your "bring a brand" link, or Clickless records you as the brand's referrer, you earn 20% of the fees Clickless earns from that brand (its platform fee, its Brand Agent fee, its savings share and their monthly adjustments) for 12 months from the brand's first month with a fee. It comes out of Clickless's fees: the brand pays exactly what it would without you, and no creator's share changes. A brand owned by Clickless's founder pays Clickless no fee, so it earns no brand referral. You are paid a brand referral only once the brand has paid Clickless that fee. A refund, credit or reversal of the fee reduces your brand referral in proportion, and if you were already paid it, the amount comes off your next payout. Each brand has one referrer, the first, unless Clickless corrects it. A brand you own or work on, or whose team includes someone who manages your agent, can't be your referral. It is single level: nobody earns on your brand referrals.
- Your own products: if your own store is on Clickless and your agent sells its products, you earn no commission on those sales. Your store pays Clickless 10% of each sale your agent closes under the brand agreement, which your store accepts. This applies once Clickless turns on selling your own products through your agent.
- Your own outside links (for example Amazon, LTK or ShopMy): Clickless earns nothing and pays you nothing on sales through them; their programs pay you on their own terms. Once Clickless starts creator plans, your agent shares them only on a paid plan, as the plan terms say.
- Each order pays one fee, never stacked: an order attributed to your agent pays commission, or it is your own store's sale, never both.
- Clickless may change its share by emailing you at least 30 days before the change. A new share applies only to orders placed after it takes effect.
Getting paid
- Payouts go through Stripe Connect to the Stripe account you set up, which must be in the United States. Stripe collects your identity and tax details.
- Once Clickless switches payouts on, they go out weekly, on Fridays. Until then, what you earn waits in your balance.
- An order is paid once its return window has passed and the brand or network has paid Clickless for it. Clickless never pays out money it hasn't received. Your earnings show as pending until then, available once they're collected, and paid once they've gone out.
- Balances under $25 wait for a later payout. The last payout of each quarter pays balances of $10 or more. Balances never expire.
- You're responsible for taxes on what you earn.
Disclosure
- Your agent never claims to be a person: asked whether it's a person or an AI, it says plainly that it's an AI. Hosted agents do this for you, and introduce themselves as your product expert; if you run your own agent, it must do the same.
- Every recommendation your agent makes must tell the person that it earns a commission, before it shares a link to buy. Hosted agents say it for you. If you run your own agent, show the `disclosure_text` that comes with every offer, exactly as given.
- When you promote your agent, disclose that you earn from its recommendations, as the terms of service describe.
Health
- Your agent may talk about everyday health topics, and about what a product is and how people use it. It never says a product treats, cures, prevents, relieves or helps a health matter. Hosted agents' lines are checked, and any that does is replaced.
- When someone names a condition or a medicine, a hosted agent tells them to check with their doctor first. In an emergency it says where to get help and shows no products. If you run your own agent, it must do the same.
- Health-regulated products are presented only in fixed wording, with the brand's approved claims.
What you won't do
- Buy through your own agent to earn commission, or let anyone do it for you.
- Post or share your agent's discount codes outside your agent, including on coupon sites.
- Send automated or fake traffic, or make claims about a product beyond what the brand has approved.
- Make health claims, or present your agent's answers as medical advice.
- Break the rules of the platforms your agent runs on, including Instagram's.
Clickless may hold or reverse commission on orders that break these rules, and close your account. An order you, or a manager of your agent, place through your own agent earns it no commission.
Data
Attribution never carries a shopper's name, email or address. Conversations with hosted agents are anonymous. Conversations that touch on health are never shared with ad platforms, you see how they went but never their words, and their words are deleted 30 days after they were sent.
Email lists you bring in
If you bring an email list into Clickless, such as your ManyChat subscribers, you promise that:
- you collected every address on it with that person's consent to hear from you about your own content and offers;
- you have the right to use the list, and to have Clickless store it for you;
- you'll honor every opt-out, on Clickless and anywhere else you use the list.
Clickless only stores the list for you. It keeps only the people marked as opted in to email, and it doesn't send anything to them, market to them, sell the list or share it. You're responsible for the consent behind every address. You'll defend and indemnify Clickless against claims, fines and costs that come from your list, how you collected it or how you use it. You can remove the list, or anyone on it, at any time, and Clickless deletes a person's entry when they ask.
Ending
Either side can end this agreement at any time by email. Commission already earned is paid on the normal schedule, unless it came from orders that break these rules.
Changes
Clickless may update this agreement. It emails you at least 30 days before a material change takes effect, and you accept the new version before you next set up payouts or live access, or bring in an email list. If you don't agree, you can end this agreement before the change takes effect. A change never applies to orders placed before it.
Everything else
- The terms of service cover everything this agreement doesn't, including acceptable use, liability, indemnity and disputes. Where they differ on attribution or money (commission, payouts or referral shares), this agreement governs.
- This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes go to the state and federal courts in Maricopa County, Arizona, as the terms of service say.
- The terms' limit on liability doesn't limit Clickless's duty to pay commission you've earned under this agreement.
- You keep confidential any non-public information Clickless shares with you about brands' rates, sales and terms, and use it only to run your agent.
- You and Clickless are independent. Nothing here makes you Clickless's employee, partner or agent.
- Notices go by email: to the address on your account, and to Clickless at info@getclickless.ai.
