Program Terms

01 Joining

By creating a referral code you agree to these terms, alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

To take part you need:

• A FOCL account in good standing
• To be at least 18 years old
• To be able to receive payments through a US Stripe payout account. New enrollment currently supports US participants; contact us about other countries. Existing earned commissions are preserved.

We may decline or remove anyone from the program at our discretion.

02 Your code

You choose your own code and get a link in the form getfocl.app/r/YOURCODE. Codes can't be changed once created.

We may reject or reclaim codes that impersonate someone else, contain offensive language, or clash with a FOCL promotion. Your code is yours to share, but it stays FOCL property and we can deactivate it under these terms.

03 What earns a commission

A referral counts when all of this is true:

• The customer is new to FOCL and has never held a paid subscription
• They subscribe on the web at getfocl.app, through your link or by entering your code in FOCL before checkout
• They subscribe within 45 days of clicking your link
• They aren't you, and aren't an account you control
• Their payment goes through

Attribution is first-touch: if someone arrives through more than one link, the first one recorded gets the credit. Only one commission is ever paid per customer.

The 45-day window starts when they click, not when they sign up — so a free trial that turns into a subscription still counts. After 45 days the attribution expires and a later subscription earns nothing.

04 What you earn

Your eligible referred customer gets 25% off their subscription for the first 12 months, or 25% off a one-time lifetime purchase. Starting rates are:

After five non-void paid referrals, future commissions use tier two: $35 monthly, $55 annual, and 35% of the lifetime list price before the referral discount. Holding referrals count toward the threshold. Promotions are forward-only; a later refund does not reduce your tier or reprice other earned commissions.

Rates are locked in the moment a referral converts. If we change the program's rates, the new rates apply to future referrals only — we will never reprice a commission you've already earned.

05 The 100-day hold

Every commission is held for 100 days after the first successful payment before it becomes eligible for payout review. That covers refunds, chargebacks, and customers who cancel almost immediately.

A commission is cancelled if, during those 100 days, the customer:

• Receives a full refund of a qualifying charge
• Disputes the charge with their bank
• Cancels their subscription outright

Someone who schedules a cancellation for the end of their billing period still counts — they keep access and may change their mind. Once the 100 days are up, the commission is yours and a later cancellation doesn't affect it.

06 Getting paid

Payouts go through Stripe to the account you connect in Settings. You'll need to finish Stripe's onboarding, including identity verification, before anything can be sent.

• Minimum payout is $25 — balances below that roll forward
• FOCL reviews eligible balances for payout monthly. Stripe transfers and bank arrival take additional time; reaching $25 does not trigger an instant withdrawal.
• Payouts are processed in US dollars
• We may hold a payment while we look into suspected fraud or a terms violation

If you never finish Stripe onboarding, commissions still build up but can't be paid. Balances left unclaimed for 12 months may be forfeited.

07 What isn't allowed

This program is for genuine recommendations. Any of the following will void the commissions involved and may end your participation:

• Referring yourself. Using your own code, or making extra accounts to claim commission on your own subscriptions.
• Coupon and deal sites. Posting your code to RetailMeNot, Honey, Slickdeals, browser extensions or similar. Those capture people who were already going to buy.
• Paid search on our name. Bidding on "FOCL", "getfocl" or close variants in any ad platform, or running ads that could be mistaken for ours.
• Spam. Unsolicited email, DMs, comment spam, or posting your link where it's off-topic or against the platform's rules.
• Misrepresentation. Claiming to be FOCL or to speak for us, inventing features, promising results we don't offer, or misstating pricing.
• Impersonation. Registering domains, social handles or app listings using our name or a confusable variation.
• Cookie stuffing or forced clicks. Anything that records attribution without a person deliberately choosing to click.
• Fraud. Fake accounts, stolen payment methods, or any attempt to manufacture conversions.

You're welcome to say you're a FOCL affiliate and describe us honestly. You may not use our logo or branding to suggest you're part of FOCL or endorsed beyond this program.

08 Disclosure

Where the law requires it, say that you earn a commission. In the US the FTC requires this on endorsements — a clear line like "I earn a commission if you subscribe through my link", placed where people will actually see it. Complying is your responsibility.

09 Taxes

You take part as an independent contractor — not an employee, partner or agent of FOCL. You're responsible for any taxes on what you earn.

If you're a US person and we pay you $600 or more in a calendar year, we're required to issue a Form 1099 and will need a completed Form W-9 first. We may hold payment until we have it.

10 Leaving, and being removed

You can leave any time by asking us to deactivate your code. Commissions already past their hold stay payable.

We may suspend or end your participation, deactivate your code, and void unpaid commissions if you breach these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud, or if your FOCL account closes or falls out of good standing. Where a violation is clear and deliberate, we may void everything unpaid in your balance — not only the commissions directly involved.

11 Changes

We may change commission rates, the hold period, the payout minimum or these terms, and we may end the program entirely. We'll give notice by email or in the app before any change that reduces what you earn. Changes apply going forward — commissions already earned keep the terms they were earned under.

12 Liability

The program is provided as is. We're not liable for lost earnings, lost opportunities, or any damages arising from taking part, from changes to the program, or from ending it. Our total liability to you is limited to the commissions payable in your account.
