Partner Program Agreement

1 · The program

The ARIA Circle is our referral partner program. As a Partner, you receive a personal referral link. When someone subscribes to ARIA through your link, you earn a commission as described below. Participation requires an application and our approval, and we may decline or remove any Partner at our discretion.

2 · Commissions and payment

• Commission rate. You earn 20% of every payment made by a member you referred, for that member's first 12 months of membership.
• Tracking. Referrals are tracked by a 60-day cookie. If your referral subscribes within 60 days of clicking your link, the referral is credited to you. We use Rewardful for tracking, and its records are authoritative.
• Clearing and refunds. Commissions hold for a refund-protection period before becoming payable. If a referred payment is refunded, disputed, or charged back, the associated commission is reversed.
• Payouts. Cleared commissions are paid monthly via PayPal or Wise to the address in your account settings. You are responsible for keeping that address current. Any fees charged by the payout provider, your bank, or currency conversion are your responsibility and may be deducted from the amount received.
• Taxes. You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or representative of ARIA. You are solely responsible for any taxes on your commissions in your jurisdiction. Once earnings reach $600 in a calendar year, we require a tax form on file before further payouts: Form W-9 for partners based in the United States, or Form W-8BEN (Form W-8BEN-E for companies) for partners based outside the United States, confirming they are not US taxpayers.
• Self-referrals and fraud. Commissions on your own subscriptions, coupon-code manipulation, cookie stuffing, self-dealing, or any artificial traffic are void, and are grounds for immediate removal with forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

3 · Use of our name and brand

ARIA, the ARIA wordmark, Aligned Intelligence, and our related names, logos, and designs are the exclusive property of Soul Aligned Ventures International LLC. While you are a Partner in good standing, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the brand assets provided in the partner portal, solely to promote ARIA, and solely as provided. You agree that you will not:

• Alter, recolor, stretch, retype, or recombine the wordmark or any brand asset;
• Register, or attempt to register, any domain name, social media handle, page, business name, or trademark containing ARIA, Aligned Intelligence, alignedai, or any confusingly similar term;
• Run paid advertising on our brand terms, including bidding on ARIA, alignedai.io, or Aligned Intelligence in any ad platform;
• Present yourself as ARIA, as our employee, or as an official or exclusive representative, or state or imply that we endorse your separate products or services;
• Use our name or assets in connection with content that is unlawful, misleading, hateful, or otherwise reasonably likely to harm our reputation.

This license ends automatically when your participation in the program ends.

4 · Truthful marketing

• No income or outcome promises. You may share your own genuine experience, but you may not promise or imply that ARIA guarantees revenue, results, or outcomes of any kind.
• Accurate product claims. ARIA is an AI strategic advisor. It is not a horoscope app, a medical, psychological, legal, or financial service, or a substitute for professional advice, and you may not present it as any of those. Timing guidance is planning, never prediction.
• Disclosure. You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship wherever you share your link, as required by the FTC and equivalent rules in your country. A plain statement such as "I am an ARIA partner and earn a commission if you subscribe through my link" satisfies this.
• No spam. No unsolicited bulk email, comment spam, DM spam, or posting your link on coupon or deal sites. Email marketing containing your link must comply with CAN-SPAM and applicable law.
• No invented offers. Do not advertise discounts, trials, or promotions that we have not published in writing.

5 · Confidentiality

The partner portal and the materials inside it are for Partners only. You agree that you will not:

• Share, lend, or sell access to the partner portal, or publish its contents, screenshots included, outside the program;
• Disclose non-public information you learn through the program, including unreleased features, program economics, member counts, or business metrics;
• Publish specific commission or earnings figures from this program without our prior written permission. You may describe your experience as a Partner in general terms.

These obligations survive the end of this Agreement for three years, except for trade secrets, which remain protected as long as they qualify as such.

6 · Privacy and member data

Referral information in your portal is shown with personal details masked. You agree not to attempt to identify, contact, or collect data about referred members through the program. Any personal data you handle in your own marketing is your responsibility under applicable privacy laws. Our handling of member data is described in our Privacy Policy.

7 · Term and termination

Either of us may end your participation at any time, with or without cause, by written notice, email included. On termination: your license to our brand ends immediately, you must stop presenting yourself as a Partner, and cleared commissions earned before termination are paid in the normal cycle. Commissions are forfeited where termination is for fraud, material breach of this Agreement, or brand misuse that we reasonably determine was intentional.

8 · Disclaimers and limits

The program is provided as is. We do not promise any level of traffic, conversions, or earnings. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you under this Agreement is limited to the commissions earned but unpaid at the time a claim arises. You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your marketing activities, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of law.

9 · General

You are an independent contractor. Nothing here creates employment, agency, partnership in the legal sense, or a joint venture. We may update this Agreement by posting a new version in the portal and notifying you by email; continued participation after 14 days constitutes acceptance. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, USA, and any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Charleston County, South Carolina. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands.
