Important Notice
By joining the Ruproa Affiliate Program, you, as Partner or Affiliate, agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. This Agreement is a binding contract between you and Forthwith Industry LLC d/b/a Ruproa.
The effective date is the date of your electronic acceptance.
1. Definitions
"Advertiser" means Forthwith Industry LLC d/b/a Ruproa, the operator of this affiliate program.
"Partner" or "Affiliate" means the individual or entity approved into the Ruproa Affiliate Program.
"Platform" means the Ruproa web application and associated services at ruproa.com.
"Qualified Referral" means a paid purchase meeting the requirements in this Agreement.
"Referral Link" means the unique tracking URL assigned by Ruproa to Partner.
"Discount Code" means the code Partner chooses in the affiliate portal for customers to enter at checkout.
"Commission" means the monetary payment earned by Partner per Qualified Referral.
"Branding Kit" means the official Ruproa design and marketing asset package provided to approved Partners.
"Prohibited Methods" means the marketing practices explicitly banned under this Agreement.
2. Program Eligibility and Enrollment
Partner must be at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering binding contracts, maintain an active promotional channel, complete the affiliate application accurately, be approved by Ruproa in its sole discretion, maintain a valid Stripe-compatible payment method, and submit the required tax form before first payout.
Ruproa may approve, deny, or revoke an application at any time in its sole discretion. Approval does not guarantee commission earnings.
Partner is responsible for maintaining account credential confidentiality and for all account activity. Unauthorized use must be reported immediately to affiliate@ruproa.com.
Personal use is strictly prohibited. Partner may not use their own Referral Link to create or benefit a personal Ruproa subscriber account, route their own subscription through affiliate tracking, earn commissions on their own account creation, plan upgrades, or renewals, or share their Referral Link for a personal benefit rather than genuine third-party referrals.
Self-referral, referral laundering, or benefit stacking may result in immediate permanent account termination, forfeiture of unpaid commissions, recovery of previously paid commissions, and other remedies available under law.
3. Qualified Referrals
A conversion is a Qualified Referral only if the referred customer clicked Partner's unique Referral Link within the 30-day referral window or used Partner's Discount Code, had never paid Ruproa before, completes a paid purchase, is not refunded, charged back, or reversed during the 30-day hold, was referred through approved promotional methods, and does not originate from Partner's own account or any account controlled by Partner.
Once a customer is referred, the referral stays with that customer's account. If another affiliate referred the customer first, that affiliate keeps the credit. Ruproa's tracking system is authoritative, and Ruproa's determination is final.
A commission is earned only when the customer's payment is collected. Unpaid orders, including open Net 30 invoices, earn nothing until they are paid.
Every commission is held for 30 days after the customer pays and only then becomes payable. A refund or dispute during the hold cancels the commission.
4. Commission Structure and Payouts
All new Affiliates start at the Standard Partner tier unless they receive a Launch Bonus invitation. Standard Partner earns 10% for 3 months and is the default for all new Affiliates. Growth earns 15% for 3 months after 5 or more active referrals. Elite Partner earns 20% for 6 months after 20 or more referrals. Early Adopters may receive a Launch Bonus of 20% for 6 months.
Tier upgrades are reviewed at the end of each calendar month and apply to the following payout period. Tiers do not downgrade mid-cycle.
Commissions are a percentage of the payments collected from a Qualified Referral during Partner's commission window: 3 months from the customer's first purchase by default, or 6 months where Ruproa assigns the longer window to Partner. Renewals and other purchases inside the window count. Nothing is earned after the window ends, and the window does not restart if the customer cancels and returns. The window in effect when a payment is made is the one that applies to it.
Ruproa processes payouts via Stripe. Approved locked commissions may be automatically disbursed on the 1st of each calendar month or requested on demand through the affiliate dashboard.
Partner is responsible for accurate Stripe payout details. Ruproa is not liable for funds lost due to incorrect payment information.
A minimum balance of $25.00 USD is required for payout. Balances below this threshold carry forward. Ruproa may modify the minimum threshold with 30 days' written notice.
Partners must submit a W-9 if they are U.S. persons or W-8BEN if they are non-U.S. persons. No payout will be processed until the required tax form is on file. Partners are solely responsible for applicable taxes, duties, and levies.
4A. Discount Codes
Partner may choose one Discount Code of their own in the affiliate portal. Any customer may enter it at checkout for 10% off their first subscription payment, and each customer may use an affiliate Discount Code only once.
Discount Codes apply to subscriptions only, not to courses or Net 30 purchases, and only for customers who have never paid Ruproa before. MOS customers cannot use Discount Codes.
Partner may change their Discount Code up to 3 times in 30 days. A replaced code stops working and is never given to anyone else. Codes may not contain the Ruproa name.
Partner may not use any Discount Code on Partner's own account or any account Partner controls. Ruproa may switch off any code at any time.
5. Reversals and Refunds
Ruproa may reverse a commission if the referred customer requests a refund or initiates a chargeback, the conversion was generated through Prohibited Methods, the referral is fraudulent, a self-referral, or a duplicate, the referred customer cancels before the action lock date, or for any other reason at Ruproa's reasonable discretion.
The maximum reversal percentage is 100% of the commission for any individual transaction. Partners will be notified of reversals by email.
Partners may dispute a reversal within 14 days of the reversal notification by emailing affiliate@ruproa.com with supporting documentation. Ruproa's decision on disputes is final.
6. Brand Integrity and Promotional Standards
Partners represent Ruproa to the public and must uphold professional and accurate promotional standards. Violations may result in immediate termination, forfeiture of commissions, and legal action.
Approved Partners receive access to the official Ruproa Branding Kit, including logos, colors, typography, approved copy, templates, and usage guidance. Partners must use the current Branding Kit before publishing promotional content.
Partner may use Ruproa logos, trademarks, and creative assets only to promote Ruproa through the Affiliate Program. Partner may not alter assets, imply unauthorized partnership or co-branding, use Ruproa branding in domain names, handles, or app names without written permission, or represent themselves as Ruproa or a Ruproa employee.
Partner must not make false, unsubstantiated, exaggerated, or misleading claims, guarantee financial results, credit score outcomes, or business outcomes, use fake testimonials or reviews, imply government, regulator, or bureau endorsement, or misrepresent current pricing and features.
Partner must clearly and conspicuously disclose the affiliate relationship in all promotional content in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guidelines. Acceptable disclosures include #ad, #sponsored, or clear plain-language affiliate disclosure placed before or immediately alongside referral links.
Partner may not use restricted credit language such as credit repair, credit rebuilding, credit fix, repair your credit, fix your credit, or language pairing score or rating with improve, enhance, boost, raise, or increase. Partner may describe Ruproa as a business financial platform, business credit monitoring service, or platform for building and tracking a business credit profile.
Custom promotional materials not sourced directly from the Branding Kit must be submitted to affiliate@ruproa.com for written approval before publication.
Ruproa grants Partner a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable trademark license solely for Affiliate Program promotion. The license terminates immediately when the Agreement terminates. Partner grants Ruproa a non-exclusive license to use Partner's name and logo to identify Partner as a participant.
7. Prohibited Methods
The following are strictly prohibited: self-referral, email marketing without prior written permission, trademark or branded keyword bidding without prior written permission, incentive traffic, Craigslist or classified ad postings, co-registration or path traffic without written permission, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, misleading redirects, click fraud, spam email, unsolicited direct messaging, unlawful communications, misleading advertising, false testimonials, fabricated social proof, content targeting minors, unapproved custom creative, and any marketing method that misrepresents Ruproa's services.
When in doubt about a marketing method, Partner must contact affiliate@ruproa.com for written clarification before proceeding.
8. Tracking, Reporting, and Cookies
Ruproa uses affiliate tracking software to record clicks, conversions, and commissions. Partner must not interfere with, block, or manipulate tracking technology.
Ruproa does not permit Partners to fire independent tracking pixels on Ruproa landing pages, checkout flows, or confirmation pages.
Ruproa is not responsible for lost commissions caused by browser settings, ad blockers, VPNs, or other technology that prevents tracking. Ruproa's records are authoritative for commission calculations.
Partners may dispute commission discrepancies within 30 days of the relevant statement period by contacting affiliate@ruproa.com with supporting documentation.
9. Confidentiality
Partner must keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by Ruproa in connection with the Agreement, including commission rates, conversion data, product roadmaps, customer lists, and internal strategies. This obligation survives termination for two years.
Ruproa will maintain Partner personal and business information in accordance with the Ruproa Privacy Policy at ruproa.com/privacy.
10. Term and Termination
The Agreement begins upon electronic acceptance and continues until terminated by either party.
Ruproa may terminate with 7 days' written notice, or immediately without notice for violation of Prohibited Methods, Brand Integrity provisions, or material breach. Upon termination for cause, unpaid commissions may be forfeited at Ruproa's discretion.
Partner may terminate at any time by written notice to affiliate@ruproa.com. Validly earned commissions before termination will be paid on the normal schedule if no violations are identified.
Upon termination, Partner must immediately stop using Ruproa trademarks, Referral Links, Branding Kit assets, and promotional materials. Sections covering reversals, confidentiality, warranties, liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.
11. Representations and Warranties
Partner represents and warrants that Partner has legal authority to enter this Agreement, promotional activities will comply with applicable laws including CAN-SPAM, FTC endorsement guidelines, GDPR where applicable, and state consumer protection laws, Partner promotional channels do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, all application information is accurate and complete, and Partner will maintain FTC-compliant affiliate disclosures.
12. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ruproa and Forthwith Industry LLC shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
Ruproa's total liability to Partner shall not exceed the total commissions paid to Partner in the three months preceding the claim.
Ruproa makes no guarantee of commission earnings. Results depend entirely on Partner's promotional efforts and audience.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Disputes are first subject to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Pinellas County, Florida, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.
14. Modifications
Ruproa may modify this Agreement at any time with 7 days' written notice by email or platform notification. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance of updated terms. If Partner does not agree, Partner must terminate before the effective date.
15. General Provisions
This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Ruproa Affiliate Program and supersedes prior negotiations and understandings.
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
Ruproa's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
Partner is an independent contractor. Nothing creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship.
Partner may not assign this Agreement without Ruproa's prior written consent. Ruproa may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets.
