Vault Socials Affiliate Program TermsEffective 1 January 2026

1Introduction and acceptance

1.1 These Terms govern participation in the Vault Socials Affiliate Program (the Program), operated by Vault Socials (we, us, our).

1.2 By registering for, or participating in, the Program, you (you, the Affiliate) confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not participate.

1.3 These Terms take effect on 1 January 2026 and replace all earlier versions of the Program terms from that date.

2Definitions

In these Terms:

  • Active Membership means a paid Vault Socials membership for which every payment due has been successfully received by us and which has not been cancelled, suspended, paused or terminated.
  • Commission means the amount of $12 USD earned for each Qualifying Referral.
  • Due Date means the date that is 60 days after the date your accrued, unpaid Commissions first reach the Payout Threshold.
  • Forfeited means permanently cancelled. Forfeited Commissions are not owed, will not be paid, and cannot be reinstated, restored, transferred or recovered by any means.
  • Lapse means the date on which your membership stops being an Active Membership, including because a membership payment fails, is declined, is refunded or charged back, or because the membership is cancelled. A Lapse occurs on the date of the first failed or missed payment, regardless of any later retry or grace period offered by our payment processor.
  • Payout Threshold means $120 USD in accrued, unpaid Commissions.
  • Qualifying Referral has the meaning given in clause 4.2.
  • Referral Link means the unique referral link we issue to you.

3Eligibility and active membership

3.1 You must hold an Active Membership to join the Program, to earn Commissions, and to be paid any Commission.

3.2 Eligibility for payment is assessed on the Due Date only. If you do not hold an Active Membership on the Due Date, every Commission included in that payout is Forfeited on the Due Date. Those Commissions are not held, deferred or carried forward.

3.3 Holding an Active Membership before or after the Due Date does not satisfy clause 3.2.

3.4 You may not earn Commissions on your own membership, on a membership you control, or on a membership purchased by you or on your behalf.

4Commissions and qualifying referrals

4.1 You earn a Commission of $12 USD for each Qualifying Referral.

4.2 A Qualifying Referral is a new customer who:

  • signs up for a paid Vault Socials membership using your Referral Link;
  • has never previously held a Vault Socials membership;
  • completes their first membership payment successfully; and
  • does not receive a refund of, or initiate a chargeback on, that payment before the Due Date.

4.3 A Commission is earned only once per Qualifying Referral. No Commission is earned on renewals, upgrades or later payments.

4.4 Our tracking records are final in deciding whether a referral is a Qualifying Referral and in calculating your Commissions.

4.5 All Commissions are calculated and paid in US dollars.

5Payout threshold, due date and payment

5.1 No Commission is payable until your accrued, unpaid Commissions reach the Payout Threshold of $120 USD.

5.2 Once the Payout Threshold is reached, payment becomes due on the Due Date, 60 days later. This holding period allows for refunds, chargebacks and fraud checks.

5.3 Subject to these Terms, we will pay Commissions that are due by PayPal within 14 days after the Due Date.

5.4 Payment will only be made if, on the Due Date, you hold an Active Membership in good standing and are not in breach of these Terms.

5.5 You are responsible for providing a valid PayPal account that can receive funds. If payment fails because your PayPal details are incorrect, inactive or restricted, and you do not provide valid details within 30 days of our request, the Commissions are Forfeited.

5.6 Any PayPal or currency conversion fees charged to you are your responsibility.

6Forfeiture of commissions

6.1 All of your accrued, unpaid Commissions are Forfeited immediately, whatever their amount, if any of the following occurs:

  • No Active Membership on the Due Date: you do not hold an Active Membership on the Due Date (clause 3.2);
  • Membership inactivity: your membership has Lapsed and is not restored to an Active Membership within 30 consecutive days of the Lapse;
  • Threshold not reached: your Commissions do not reach the Payout Threshold within 365 days of the date you joined the Program, in which case your affiliate account is also deactivated;
  • Breach or fraud: you breach these Terms, or we reasonably determine that your activity is fraudulent, deceptive or abusive (clause 8); or
  • Program termination: the Program ends and your Commissions have not reached the Payout Threshold by the termination date (clause 10.4).

6.2 Forfeiture under clause 6.1 is automatic. We are not required to give you notice before, or after, Commissions are Forfeited.

6.3 We do not monitor your membership or eligibility. Eligibility is assessed only when a payment is flagged as due. It is your sole responsibility to keep your membership active and to stay informed of your balance and Due Date.

7Reactivation does not restore commissions

7.1 Re-subscribing, reactivating, upgrading or purchasing a new membership after Commissions have been Forfeited does not reinstate, restore or revive those Commissions, in whole or in part.

7.2 Signing up, re-subscribing or reactivating a membership for the purpose of claiming, recovering or becoming eligible for Forfeited Commissions is prohibited.

7.3 A membership started or restored after a Lapse counts as an Active Membership only from the date the new payment is received. It does not apply to any earlier Due Date or to any Commissions already Forfeited.

7.4 After your Commissions are Forfeited, your Commission balance resets to zero. Only Qualifying Referrals made after your membership becomes active again count towards a new Payout Threshold.

7.5 If you buy a membership solely in an attempt to recover Forfeited Commissions, that membership purchase is not a basis for any claim to those Commissions.

8Refunds, chargebacks and fraud

8.1 If a Qualifying Referral's payment is refunded or charged back at any time, the related Commission is cancelled. If that Commission has already been paid, we may deduct it from your future Commissions or require you to repay it.

8.2 We may withhold, cancel or reclaim any Commission, and suspend or close your affiliate account, if we reasonably determine that your activity is fraudulent, deceptive or abusive, or breaches these Terms. This includes:

  • self-referrals or referrals of accounts you control;
  • fake, duplicate or incentivised sign-ups;
  • misleading claims about Vault Socials;
  • spam or unsolicited messages;
  • bidding on Vault Socials brand terms in paid search; and
  • manipulating membership status to gain eligibility for Commissions, as described in clause 7.

9Affiliate responsibilities

9.1 You are responsible for:

  • keeping your membership active and your payment details current;
  • tracking your own Commission balance, Payout Threshold and Due Date;
  • keeping your PayPal account active and able to receive funds;
  • complying with all laws that apply to your promotion of Vault Socials, including disclosing that you are an affiliate where required; and
  • declaring and paying any taxes on Commissions you receive.

9.2 You are an independent participant. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, agency or joint venture relationship between you and us.

10Changes, suspension and termination

10.1 We may change these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting the updated Terms, and they take effect on the date stated in the notice. Your continued participation after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

10.2 Changes apply only from their effective date. They do not affect Commissions that have already reached a Due Date and become payable.

10.3 We may suspend or end your participation in the Program at any time. If we end your participation for breach or fraud, all unpaid Commissions are Forfeited. Otherwise, clause 10.4 applies.

10.4 We may end the Program at any time by giving at least 30 days' notice. From the termination date, no new Commissions are earned. Commissions that have reached the Payout Threshold by the termination date will be paid on their Due Date if you meet all conditions in these Terms. All other unpaid Commissions are Forfeited on the termination date.

11General

11.1 No waiver. Any payment, exception or concession we make outside these Terms is at our sole discretion. It is a one-off and does not waive, vary or create a precedent for any provision of these Terms, for you or any other Affiliate.

11.2 Limitation of liability. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you under these Terms is limited to the Commissions that have become payable to you and remain unpaid.

11.3 Consumer law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, it will be read down to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

11.5 Entire agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Program and replace all earlier terms, communications and understandings about it.

11.6 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
