1. Program and Eligibility

The Program lets approved influencers promote Craving Forge products—including gourmet popcorn, crunchy pretzels, snack mixes, and curated snack boxes—through social media and other channels approved by Craving Forge.

To apply, you must provide accurate contact, social account, and payment information requested by Craving Forge. You must be at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter this Agreement, and comply with all applicable laws and platform rules. If you apply on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business.

Craving Forge may approve or reject any application, request additional information, or set reasonable participation requirements. Acceptance into the Program is not guaranteed.

2. Commission

2.1 Commission rate — For each qualifying sale attributed to you under Section 3, you will earn a commission equal to 20% of the Net Sale Value.

"Net Sale Value" means the amount Craving Forge actually receives for the products in the order after discounts and before any applicable taxes or shipping charges. It excludes taxes, shipping and handling, gift cards, tips, and other non-product charges. Any refunded or reversed product amount is excluded from Net Sale Value.

2.2 Qualifying sales — A sale qualifies only if it is completed through a valid referral link or discount code assigned to you, is recorded by Craving Forge's tracking system, and is not canceled, fraudulent, unpaid, returned, refunded, or subject to a chargeback. Orders placed by you, your household, or anyone acting for you may be excluded if Craving Forge reasonably determines they were made primarily to generate commission rather than for genuine customer purchases.

Craving Forge does not owe commission on orders that cannot be reliably attributed to you, including where tracking is blocked, deleted, overwritten, or otherwise unavailable. Craving Forge's tracking and sales records will be used to calculate commissions, subject to correction of demonstrable errors.

2.3 Returns, refunds, and chargebacks — Commissions are calculated on completed sales and may be held while an order is pending, under review, or within the applicable return or refund period. If an order is later refunded, returned, canceled, or charged back, the related commission will be reversed. Craving Forge may deduct the reversal from future commissions or, if no future commission is due, request repayment of an overpayment.

3. Referral Links, Codes, and Attribution

Craving Forge may provide you with a unique referral link, discount code, or both. Use only the link and code assigned to you, and do not alter, misrepresent, or distribute them in a misleading way.

Unless Craving Forge specifies otherwise in writing: (1) a referral link may receive credit for an order placed within 30 days after a customer's click on the link, provided the tracking system records the referral and no later referral overrides it; (2) if an order uses your assigned discount code at checkout, the code may receive credit for that order, subject to Craving Forge's tracking and fraud review; and (3) only one influencer may receive commission on a sale. Craving Forge will determine attribution using its tracking records and the rules above.

You must not use cookie stuffing, hidden redirects, forced clicks, misleading links, unauthorized coupon distribution, or any other technique intended to create or falsely claim referrals. You must not bid on Craving Forge's name, trademarks, or confusingly similar terms in paid search advertising without Craving Forge's written permission.

4. Payouts and Taxes

Commissions are calculated bi-weekly. Craving Forge will generally issue payments through PayPal every two weeks, for eligible commissions recorded in the preceding two-week period, subject to order verification and payment processing.

The minimum payout threshold is $25 USD. If your payable balance is below the threshold, it will roll over to the next payout cycle. You are responsible for providing accurate payment details and completing any steps required to receive payment. Craving Forge is not responsible for delays caused by incorrect details, payment-provider issues, or your failure to complete required steps.

You are responsible for all taxes, reporting, and other obligations related to your Program earnings. Craving Forge may request tax forms or information required by law and may withhold amounts where legally required.

5. Content and Disclosure Requirements

You are responsible for ensuring that your content complies with applicable laws, regulations, and social-media platform rules, including rules governing advertising, endorsements, and testimonials.

Whenever you promote Craving Forge or its products, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship with Craving Forge. Your disclosure must be easy to notice and understand, placed with the endorsement, and not hidden among other hashtags, behind a link, or only in a profile or caption section that viewers may not see.

Use plain wording such as "I earn a commission if you buy through my link" or "I'm an affiliate of Craving Forge." You may also use #ad or #affiliate where appropriate, but a hashtag alone may not be sufficient in every format. For video, live, or audio content, disclose the relationship in a way audiences can hear or see; repeat the disclosure when reasonably needed. Use any platform-provided paid partnership tool where applicable, in addition to a clear disclosure.

Your statements must reflect your honest opinions and actual experience. Do not make claims about Craving Forge products that are false, misleading, unsupported, or not authorized by Craving Forge. Do not make medical, health, nutritional, safety, ingredient, sourcing, or performance claims unless Craving Forge has provided written approval and the claim is accurate and legally permitted. Do not suggest that Craving Forge endorses your views or guarantees any result.

You must promptly correct or remove content that Craving Forge reasonably identifies as inaccurate, noncompliant, or harmful to the brand. Craving Forge may request review of content before publication, but any review or approval does not transfer your responsibility for compliance.

6. Prohibited Content and Conduct

You must not, in connection with the Program: publish content that is unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory, or otherwise harmful; use fake reviews, fake engagement, bots, or purchased followers to misrepresent your audience or performance; make or encourage false statements about Craving Forge, its products, or competitors; use copyrighted, trademarked, private, or other third-party material without permission; imply that you are an employee, agent, spokesperson, or authorized representative of Craving Forge; engage in spam, harassment, or conduct that could reasonably damage Craving Forge's reputation; or offer unauthorized discounts, guarantees, contests, or promotions in Craving Forge's name.

7. Brand Assets and Intellectual Property

Craving Forge grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license during your participation to use brand names, logos, product images, and other materials that Craving Forge provides, solely to promote Craving Forge under this Agreement. Follow any brand-use instructions we provide. Do not modify brand assets, register confusingly similar names or accounts, or use our assets in a way that suggests an endorsement of unrelated products or services.

All Craving Forge names, logos, product materials, and other brand assets remain Craving Forge's property. This Agreement does not grant you ownership of them or any right to register or claim rights in them.

You retain ownership of content you create, subject to the rights you grant below. You grant Craving Forge a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license during your participation and for 12 months afterward to repost, display, and share the Program content you publish that features or promotes Craving Forge, on Craving Forge's social media accounts and website, with attribution where reasonably practicable. This license does not authorize paid advertising, whitelisting, or material alteration of your content without your separate written consent.

8. Term and Termination

This Agreement begins when you accept it or start participating in the Program, whichever occurs first, and continues until ended.

Either party may end this Agreement at any time by giving notice to the other party. Craving Forge may suspend or end your participation immediately if it reasonably believes you have violated this Agreement, applicable law, or platform rules, engaged in fraud, or acted in a way that may harm Craving Forge or its customers.

When participation ends, you must stop representing yourself as a Program participant and stop using Craving Forge's brand assets and referral materials. Craving Forge may deactivate your links or codes.

Craving Forge will calculate eligible commissions earned before termination and pay them under Section 4 after allowing reasonable time to verify sales and account for refunds, returns, and chargebacks. Any final balance will be paid once verified, even if it is below the regular minimum payout threshold. Craving Forge may withhold disputed or reasonably suspected fraudulent amounts while investigating.

9. Independent Contractor

You participate as an independent contractor, not as an employee, partner, joint venturer, or agent of Craving Forge. You may not make commitments, incur expenses, or enter agreements on Craving Forge's behalf. You are responsible for your own equipment, expenses, and legal and tax obligations.

10. Representations and Responsibility

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to create and publish your content and grant the license in Section 7. You are responsible for your content, accounts, and conduct, and for obtaining any permissions required from people appearing in your content.

To the extent permitted by law, you will be responsible for losses, claims, and reasonable expenses arising from your breach of this Agreement, your unlawful conduct, or your infringement of another person's rights. This does not require you to indemnify Craving Forge for claims caused by Craving Forge's own unlawful conduct or breach.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Craving Forge will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or opportunities arising from the Program or this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, Craving Forge's total liability arising from the Program or this Agreement will not exceed the commissions paid or payable to you during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply where applicable law does not permit them to apply.

Craving Forge does not guarantee any level of sales, referrals, earnings, audience reach, or platform availability.

12. General Terms

Craving Forge may update this Agreement by providing notice, including by email or through the Program. Changes will apply from the stated effective date. If you do not agree to a change, you may end your participation before it takes effect. Continued participation after the effective date means you accept the updated terms.

This Agreement, together with any written Program-specific terms provided by Craving Forge, is the complete agreement about your participation in the Program. If Program-specific written terms conflict with this Agreement, those terms control only for the subject they expressly address.

If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect. Craving Forge's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce it later. You may not transfer this Agreement or your Program rights without Craving Forge's written consent. Craving Forge may transfer this Agreement as part of a business transfer or reorganization.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and each party consents to those courts' jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

13. Acceptance

By signing below, applying to the Program, or participating in the Program, you confirm that you have read and agree to this Agreement.
