Affiliate Program Terms

Who can take part

Anyone with an account has a code — you do not sign up for anything, and your code starts working the moment your account exists.

Cash is for adults. To be paid money you must be 18 or over, because paying you means collecting a tax form, and a minor cannot give one.

Under 18, you spend it on training. Same 20%, same rules — what you earn builds up as a balance you can spend on training. No form, no minimum, nothing to sign. When you turn 18 you can cash out your whole balance instead, including what you earned before.

You need to be at least 13 to have an account at all, which is in the main terms.

How someone becomes yours

They use your code. They can tap your link, scan your QR, or type the six characters on the sign-up screen. If you run a team, anyone who joins your team with your code counts as yours too. Every one of those does the same thing.

Or they enter it within 90 days. If they already made an account, they can add your code from inside the app for up to 90 days after signing up. After that the window closes.

The first code wins, and it is permanent. An account can only ever be credited to one person, and it cannot be moved afterwards — not by you, not by them, not by us.

You cannot refer yourself. Your own code will not attach to your own account, and creating extra accounts to earn on yourself voids the earnings and the account.

What you earn, and when it stops

20% of everything they pay us — for coaching ($50 a month or $500 a year, so $10 a month or $100 a year to you), for AI features if those ever cost money, or for anything else we charge for, for as long as they keep paying. There is no cap and no expiry date on it.

When a parent pays for a kid. A parent can pay for their kid's coaching. The commission goes to the kid's referral: whoever's code the kid joined with. If the kid joined with no code, it goes to the parent's referral instead: whoever's code the parent joined with. Only one referral earns on each payment, never both.

If they cancel, it ends. If that same person later pays again, the commission does not come back. That is deliberate: the commission is for bringing someone who stays, not for a name on a list. Two exceptions: if they pay again within 48 hours of it ending, or switch to a bigger plan within 30 days of the old one ending, the commission keeps going as if nothing had ended.

A failed card is not a cancellation. If their subscription ends because a payment did not go through rather than because they chose to leave, your referral survives and picks up again if they fix it.

Nothing is earned on free accounts. Most people you invite will never pay for anything, and that is fine — the training is free on purpose. That includes an account that has coaching free for a while: nothing is earned until it is paid for.

When the money becomes yours

45 days after the payment. A commission is recorded the moment their payment succeeds, but it is held for 45 days first, because a payment can be refunded and a refunded payment cannot fund a commission.

Refunds and chargebacks reverse it. If their payment is refunded in full or in part, the matching commission is reduced by the same proportion. If that happens after you have already been paid, the difference comes off your next payout rather than being invoiced to you.

A dispute is held, not lost. If they dispute a payment with their bank, the commission on it comes off while the dispute is open — only the disputed share, if they dispute part of it. If the dispute is decided in our favour, the commission comes back.

Using your balance

Two choices. Once money has cleared the 45 days, it is your balance, and you choose what to do with it: cash out the whole balance, or spend it on training. Whatever you do not spend stays in your balance.

Spend it on training. Your balance can pay for coaching, or whatever else we offer at the time, at its price then ($50 a month or $500 a year for coaching today). No threshold, no form, and it is the only choice under 18. If you already pay for what you choose, or someone pays for it for you, the amount comes off the next bill; if not, it is switched on for the period it covers. A year of coaching moves that bill back twelve months instead. Credit cannot go on a bill that is set to end or has a payment that did not go through: the balance stays yours until there is a bill to take it.

Or cash it out — $50 minimum. If you choose cash, once you have at least $50 that has cleared the 45 days, your whole cleared balance goes into the payout queue. Below that it keeps adding up.

One tax form, once. Before your first payout we ask you for a W-9 (or a W-8BEN if you are outside the US). You upload it on your account page on this site; it is stored privately and only the owner of Athlete Made Easy can open it — never send it by email. US law requires it of us before we can pay you, and we cannot send money until it is in — but nothing you earn while we wait is lost. We do not collect it in the app, and we never ask you to type a Social Security number anywhere, or to send one by email or message.

Paid by PayPal, to the address you give us, usually within a couple of weeks of clearing the threshold. If we pay you $2,000 or more in a calendar year you get a 1099-NEC and so does the IRS (that figure is set by the IRS and moves with inflation). What you owe on it is between you and your own tax situation — we cannot advise you on it.

Your balance is yours. It never expires while you have an account, and it cannot be sold or transferred to anyone else.

The rules when you post

These are short because they matter, and breaking them is the one thing that gets an account removed from the program.

Say you can earn from your link. Every time, even now while nothing is earned yet. “My invite link — I can earn from it if you ever pay for something” or “#ad” in the post itself — not in a bio, not behind a “more” fold, not in a comment. This is FTC law, it applies to you and not only to us, and it is genuinely the entire ask.

Never promise a result. No inches, no timelines, no “this will add X to your vertical”. Say what happened to you and let it be your story.

Do not pretend to be us, or to be nobody. No accounts, ads or pages that look official, no posing as a neutral reviewer, no buying ads on our name or brand.

No spam, and nothing bought. No unsolicited email or DMs, no coupon or cashback sites, no paid traffic to your link, no bots, no fake accounts.

Nothing that would embarrass either of us. No adult, hateful, illegal or medical-claim content anywhere near your link.

What we can do

We can void earnings that are not real. Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, fraud, and referrals that came from any of the rules above being broken get reversed, and we do not pay them out.

We can end or change the program. Rates, thresholds and windows can change with notice on this page. If we change them, anything you have already earned is earned at the rate that applied when it happened. If the program ends entirely, we pay out cleared balances above the minimum.

You are not our employee, partner or agent. You are an independent participant in a referral program. Nothing here makes you a representative of Athlete Made Easy, and you cannot speak or sign for us.

You can stop whenever you like. Deleting your account ends participation. In the 30 days after you ask us to delete it, cleared cash is still paid out as usual. When the account is then removed for good, anything not yet paid out — held or cleared — is forfeited.
