Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

CONTACTOR DEPOT PARTNER PROGRAM — TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your participation in the Contactor Depot Partner Program (the "Program") operated by ContactorDepot.com ("Contactor Depot," "we," "us," or "our"). By submitting an application, checking the agreement box, or otherwise participating in the Program, you ("Affiliate," "Partner," or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Eligibility
To participate, you must:
(a) Be at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into binding contracts;
(b) Be a resident of the United States with a valid US tax identification (SSN, ITIN, or EIN);
(c) Maintain an active social media account, website, blog, YouTube channel, or other public-facing platform with original content relevant to electrical, HVAC, industrial, motor controls, lighting, or related industries;
(d) Provide accurate, complete, and current information in your application and keep it updated.
We reserve the right to approve or reject applications at our sole discretion.
2. Approval, Trial Period, and Account
All applications are subject to manual review and approval. Approval is granted at our sole discretion and is not guaranteed.
Trial Period. All approved affiliates enter the Program under a sixty (60) day trial period beginning on the date of approval. During the trial period, we may terminate the relationship with five (5) business days' written notice (via the email address associated with your affiliate account), with or without cause. After the trial period, the standard termination terms in Section 9 apply.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
3. Commissions
(a) Commission rate. You will earn ten percent (10%) commission on Qualifying Sales generated through your unique referral link, unless a different rate has been specifically agreed upon with you in writing.
(b) Commission base. Commissions are calculated on the product subtotal only, excluding shipping, taxes, handling fees, gift cards, and any discount applied at checkout.
(c) Customer discount codes. Customer-facing discount codes (coupons) are not part of the standard Program. We may, at our sole discretion, issue a personalized discount code to selected affiliates on a case-by-case basis. Issuance of a discount code is not guaranteed and may be modified or revoked at any time.
(d) Qualifying Sale. A sale is "Qualifying" only when (i) the customer completes checkout using your active referral link (or, where applicable, an approved coupon code we have personally issued to you), (ii) the order is paid in full, (iii) the order is shipped, and (iv) the thirty (30) day return window has expired without a return, refund, or chargeback.
(e) Tracking window. Referral links use a thirty (30) day cookie window. Coupon code attribution, when applicable, is direct (the code must be applied at checkout).
(f) No commission on: your own purchases or those of your immediate family or household; wholesale orders covered by a separate agreement; orders later refunded, cancelled, or charged back; orders that violate these Terms.
4. Payments
(a) Payment method. Commissions are paid via PayPal. You must provide a valid PayPal email address before any payout can be processed.
(b) Minimum payout. $50 USD. Balances below the minimum carry over to the next period.
(c) Payment schedule. Commissions are reviewed and paid monthly, approximately 30 days after the end of the month in which the qualifying sale's return window closed.
(d) Tax reporting (US). If your cumulative commissions in a calendar year reach $600 USD or more, you must submit a completed IRS Form W-9 before further payments are processed. We will issue an IRS Form 1099-NEC for the relevant tax year as required by US law. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes owed on commissions received.
(e) Holds. We may withhold payment if we suspect fraud, policy violations, or until disputed orders are resolved.

7. Trademarks and Content

You must remove all affiliate links, coupon codes, and Contactor Depot trademarks from your channels within seven (7) days;
We will pay commissions earned and not yet paid for sales meeting all Qualifying Sale criteria, in accordance with the standard payment schedule in Section 4;
