Free Affiliate Recruiter Service Agreement

One rogue recruit using bot traffic will get your merchant accounts nuked and leave you facing a lawsuit that bleeds your bank account dry. If you don't lock down ownership of those leads, the client will cut you out of the deal the second the real money starts moving.

Pro Contractor Tip

Hardwire a 'Clawback Clause' into the agreement so you aren't left holding the bag for commissions paid on refunded sales or fraudulent traffic.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Affiliate Recruiter, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stops the client from hiring my recruits directly and stiffing me on the commission?

You bake a 'Non-Circumvention' period into the contract so if they try to go behind your back to sign your leads, they’re legally obligated to pay your full cut anyway.

How do I handle a client who claims every sale was 'organic' just to avoid paying my fee?

Define your 'Attribution Window' in black and white so any lead you touch stays tied to your paycheck for 60 to 90 days, regardless of the client’s excuses.

What if I’m spending all my time fixing their broken tracking links instead of recruiting?

Include a 'Technical Support Surcharge' in your agreement to ensure you’re compensated for the hours spent cleaning up their digital mess instead of working for free.
