Definitions
“Affiliate Link” means the unique tracking URL or referral code issued to you through the Affiliate Platform.
“Affiliate Platform” means Lemon Squeezy, the third party service that hosts the affiliate portal, records referral activity, calculates commissions, and issues payouts on our behalf, together with any successor platform we designate.
“Filmit Products” means the Filmit Studio desktop application, all Filmit plugins and extensions for Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, Filmit FX, Filmit Transitions, the Filmit web tools, and any subscription that provides access to them.
“Marks” means the Filmit and Filmit.io names, logos, product names, wordmarks, screenshots, artwork, demo footage, and other brand assets we own.
“Net Subscription Revenue” means the amount actually received and retained by us for a Qualifying Purchase, after deduction of sales tax, VAT, GST and other transaction taxes, discounts and credits applied at checkout, currency conversion differences, payment processing and merchant of record fees, and any refunded, reversed, or charged back amount.
“Qualifying Purchase” means a paid Filmit subscription payment made by a Referred Customer that is attributed to your Affiliate Link by the Affiliate Platform under Section 6 and is not excluded under Section 7.
“Referred Customer” means a person or entity that reaches filmit.io through your Affiliate Link and subsequently purchases a Filmit subscription within the attribution window described in Section 6.
Enrollment and approval
2.1 Participation in the Filmit Affiliate Program (the “Program”) requires an application. We review each application and aim to respond within 48 hours, though we do not guarantee any response time.
2.2 We may accept or decline any application in our sole discretion and without stating a reason. Acceptance is not automatic and is not implied by the absence of a response.
2.3 To apply you must (a) be at least 18 years old, (b) have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement, (c) if applying on behalf of an entity, have authority to bind that entity, and (d) hold or create an account on the Affiliate Platform.
2.4 You must also accept the Affiliate Platform's own terms of service. Where the Affiliate Platform's terms govern the mechanics of tracking, payout, or tax reporting, those mechanics control; where they conflict with the conduct and intellectual property provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement controls as between you and us.
2.5 Your acceptance of this Agreement is recorded with a timestamp, the version of this Agreement in force at the time, and the email address submitted with your application.
Intellectual property
3.1 We own everything. All Filmit Products, source code, object code, user interface designs, plugin architecture, effects, transitions, presets, documentation, marketing copy, demo footage, tutorial content, website content, and the Marks are and remain the exclusive property of Filmit and our licensors. This Agreement transfers no ownership of any kind to you.
3.2 Limited license to promote. For the term of this Agreement, and only while your participation in the Program is in good standing, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, royalty free license to display the Marks and the promotional assets we supply, solely to promote Filmit Products through your Affiliate Link and solely in the form we provide them.
3.3 You may not (a) alter, recolor, distort, animate, or recreate the Marks, (b) combine the Marks with your own marks so as to suggest a joint brand, (c) register or attempt to register any Mark, any confusingly similar mark, or any domain name, social handle, app name, or search term containing a Mark or a misspelling of one, (d) use the Marks in a way that suggests you are Filmit, that you speak for Filmit, or that Filmit endorses you, your other products, or your other clients, or (e) use the Marks after this Agreement ends.
3.4 Your content stays yours. You retain ownership of the videos, articles, posts, and other original content you create to promote Filmit Products. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to reproduce, display, quote, and link to that content for the purpose of promoting the Program and Filmit Products, including on our website, in our newsletters, and on our social channels. You may withdraw this license as to future uses on written notice, and we will stop new uses within 30 days.
3.5 Feedback. Any suggestion, feature request, or idea you give us about Filmit Products may be used by us without restriction, attribution, or compensation.
3.6 Nothing in this Agreement grants you a license to the Filmit Products themselves. Your use of Filmit software as a user is governed by the EULA and requires an active subscription like any other user.
Your obligations
4.1 You will promote Filmit Products honestly, describe them accurately, and only make claims that are true and that we have published or supplied.
4.2 You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including advertising, consumer protection, anti spam, privacy, and data protection laws, in every jurisdiction where your promotion is seen.
4.3 You are solely responsible for your promotional channels, your content, your audience, your costs, and any third party terms that apply to you, including the terms of any platform you post on.
4.4 You will keep your Affiliate Platform account credentials secure and are responsible for all activity under your account.
4.5 You will not represent that you are an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, or spokesperson of Filmit, and you will not make any commitment, warranty, promise, discount, refund, or support undertaking on our behalf.
Prohibited promotional practices
You may not do any of the following. Each is a material breach that permits immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commissions under Section 12.
5.1 Self referral. Using your own Affiliate Link, or arranging for someone to use it on your behalf, to purchase a subscription for yourself, your household, your employer, or any entity you control.
5.2 Paid search on our brand. Bidding on, or purchasing ads against, the terms “Filmit,” “Filmit.io,” “Filmit Studio,” any Filmit product name, or any misspelling or close variant of them, on Google Ads, Bing Ads, YouTube search, app store search, or any other paid placement. You also may not use any Mark in ad copy, display URLs, or landing page URLs of paid ads.
5.3 Direct linking and domain misuse. Pointing paid ads directly at filmit.io, registering domains that contain or imitate a Mark, or operating a site designed to be mistaken for filmit.io.
5.4 Cookie stuffing and forced clicks. Setting referral cookies without a genuine, intentional click by the user, including through iframes, pop unders, redirects, auto loading pixels, browser extensions, toolbars, or adware.
5.5 Unauthorized coupon and discount claims. Advertising discounts, coupon codes, trials, refunds, or pricing that we have not published, or posting Filmit on coupon, deals, cashback, or discount aggregator sites without our prior written approval. Approval may be withheld for any reason and may be withdrawn on written notice. Where approval is given, you may list only codes and offers we have published, must remove expired offers within 48 hours, and must not present a code as available when it is not.
5.6 Spam. Sending unsolicited email, SMS, direct messages, forum posts, comment spam, or bulk messages containing your Affiliate Link, or violating CAN-SPAM, CASL, the GDPR and PECR, or any equivalent law.
5.7 Misrepresentation. Fabricating reviews, testimonials, download counts, user numbers, performance results, or endorsements; stating or implying that Filmit is affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of Adobe Inc., Blackmagic Design, or any other company we have not publicly named as a partner; or misstating what the software does.
5.8 Piracy and circumvention. Distributing cracked, patched, or repackaged Filmit software, license keys, account credentials, or any method of bypassing license verification, and promoting Filmit alongside such material.
5.9 Prohibited placements. Promoting Filmit on sites or in content that is unlawful, sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, defamatory, violent, discriminatory, promotes illegal activity, or infringes any third party's rights.
5.10 Incentivized traffic. Offering cash, rebates, loyalty points, sweepstakes entries, or other consideration in exchange for clicking your Affiliate Link or purchasing through it, without our prior written approval.
5.11 Traffic manipulation. Using bots, click farms, automated scripts, proxies, or any other means to generate artificial clicks, signups, trials, or purchases.
5.12 Competing use. Using access, assets, or information gained through the Program to build, market, or assist a product competitive with Filmit Products.
Attribution and tracking
6.1 Referrals are tracked by the Affiliate Platform through a cookie set when a user clicks your Affiliate Link.
6.2 The attribution window is 90 days. A purchase made within 90 days of the click that set the cookie is attributed to you.
6.3 Attribution is last click. Where more than one affiliate cookie is present, the most recent qualifying click wins.
6.4 Users who download the free Filmit tools through your Affiliate Link and later purchase a subscription within the 90 day window are attributed to you.
6.5 After the 90 day window expires the user is treated as an organic customer. If a Referred Customer cancels and then resubscribes through your Affiliate Link, a new 90 day window opens from that click.
6.6 The Affiliate Platform's records are the system of record. Its tracking data determines what is owed. We are not liable for referrals that are not recorded, including where the user blocks cookies, uses private browsing, clears cookies, switches device or browser, uses an ad blocker or tracking protection, or purchases through a channel that does not carry the tracking parameter.
6.7 You may raise a tracking dispute in writing within 30 days of the transaction date. We will review in good faith. Absent manifest error, the Affiliate Platform's record stands.
Commission
7.1 Rate. You earn 20 percent of Net Subscription Revenue for each Qualifying Purchase.
7.2 Recurring. The commission applies to every renewal payment a Referred Customer makes, for as long as that customer's subscription remains active and this Agreement remains in force, not only to the first payment.
7.3 Excluded from commission. No commission is earned or payable on:
(a) payments that are refunded, reversed, disputed, or charged back, including refunds under our 14 day money back guarantee and refunds of accidental renewals;
(b) transaction taxes, VAT, GST, sales tax, and payment processing or merchant of record fees;
(c) purchases by you or by anyone acting on your behalf, in breach of Section 5.1;
(d) purchases we reasonably determine to be fraudulent, artificially generated, or the result of a breach of Section 5;
(e) free downloads, free trials that never convert to a paid payment, free accounts, and free tools;
(f) purchases by a customer who already held an active Filmit subscription at the time of the click, or who had already begun checkout before the click;
(g) gift purchases, resold licenses, education or nonprofit grants, custom or negotiated agreements, Teams and Enterprise plans, and any other multi-seat, negotiated, or order-form transaction not processed through the Affiliate Platform's tracked checkout. Where a Teams or Enterprise plan is purchased through the standard tracked checkout without negotiation, it is treated as a Qualifying Purchase in the ordinary way;
(h) any amount we are required to withhold by law.
7.4 Clawback. If a payment on which commission was earned is later refunded, reversed, or charged back, the commission is reversed. We may deduct the reversed amount from your next payout or, if no further payout is due, invoice you for it. We will not reverse a commission more than 180 days after it was paid, except where the underlying transaction was fraudulent or resulted from a breach of Section 5, in which case no time limit applies.
7.5 We may change the rate. We may change the commission rate, the attribution window, the payout schedule, or any other Program term on 30 days' written notice to the email on your affiliate account. Changes apply to purchases occurring after the effective date and do not reduce commission already earned. Continuing in the Program after the effective date is acceptance of the change.
7.6 No earnings guarantee. Nothing in this Agreement, on our website, or in the earnings calculator on filmit.io/affiliates is a promise, projection, or guarantee of any level of earnings. Illustrative figures are examples only and assume renewals that may not occur.
Disclosure
8.1 You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to Filmit wherever you promote Filmit Products, in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, 16 CFR Part 255, and any equivalent rules that apply to you, including the UK CAP Code and the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive.
8.2 The disclosure must be placed where the audience will actually see it before engaging with the link. In a video, that means on screen and spoken, near the start, not only in the description. In written content, it means above the fold, not only in a footer. In social posts, it means in the post itself, not only in a comment or bio.
8.3 Platform disclosure tools, such as YouTube's paid promotion checkbox, are not on their own sufficient. Use plain language, for example: “I earn a commission if you subscribe through my link.”
8.4 You are solely responsible for your own compliance with disclosure law, and for any penalty arising from your failure to disclose.
8.5 Our review rights. We may review your promotional content at any time to confirm it complies with this Agreement and with applicable disclosure law. On our request you will provide links to the content and channels through which you promote Filmit Products, and will identify any content that has been removed or made private. We may require you to correct, add, or reposition a disclosure, or to remove content, and you will do so within five (5) business days of our written request.
8.6 Consequences of non-compliance. Failure to disclose as required by this Section 8, or failure to correct content after our request, is a material breach and permits suspension or termination under Section 12 and withholding of commissions under Section 9.7. Nothing in this Section 8 makes us responsible for your content, and nothing in it limits your obligations under Sections 4 and 5.
Payment
9.1 Commissions are calculated and paid by the Affiliate Platform on our behalf.
9.2 Commissions are paid monthly, 30 days after the referred subscription payment clears, which allows the refund and chargeback window to pass.
9.3 The minimum payout threshold is $10 USD. Balances below the threshold roll over to the following month.
9.4 Payouts are made in USD via the rails supported by the Affiliate Platform, currently PayPal and Stripe. The available payout methods are those the Affiliate Platform supports for our account from time to time, and may change if the Affiliate Platform changes them. You are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate payout details. We are not responsible for payments sent to details you supplied incorrectly, or for fees, currency conversion costs, or delays imposed by the payment provider or your bank.
9.5 Taxes. You are an independent business. You are solely responsible for all taxes, contributions, and filings arising from your commissions. You will provide any tax documentation we or the Affiliate Platform reasonably require, including IRS Form W-9 for U.S. persons or the applicable Form W-8 for non U.S. persons. We may withhold payment until required documentation is provided, and may withhold or report amounts as required by law. Because the Affiliate Platform collects tax documentation and issues payouts on our behalf, information reporting is handled through the Affiliate Platform where it is the reporting party. Where we are the reporting party, we will report and withhold as required.
9.6 Unclaimed balances. If your account is inactive and unclaimed for twelve (12) consecutive months, and we cannot reach you at the email on file after two attempts, remaining balances may be forfeited to the extent permitted by law. This paragraph does not apply where applicable unclaimed property or escheat law requires the balance to be held or remitted, and in that case we will comply with that law instead.
9.7 We may withhold payment pending investigation of a suspected breach of Section 5, and may set off against your balance any amount you owe us.
Relationship of the parties
10.1 You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship.
10.2 You have no authority to bind us, to incur any obligation on our behalf, to make representations or warranties on our behalf, or to hold yourself out as authorized to do so.
10.3 You are not entitled to any employee benefit, and we do not withhold income tax, social security, or any other contribution from your commissions.
10.4 The Program is non-exclusive on both sides. You may promote other products, including competing products, provided you do not breach Section 5.12. We may engage any number of other affiliates and may market through any channel we choose.
Confidentiality and data
11.1 You will keep confidential any non-public information we share with you, including unreleased product information, pricing not yet published, roadmap details, program performance data other than your own, and customer information.
11.2 You will not receive, and must not attempt to collect, personal data about Referred Customers on our behalf. If you collect personal data through your own channels, for example an email list you use to promote Filmit, you are the controller of that data and are solely responsible for your own compliance with the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the CCPA and CPRA, and any other applicable privacy law, including obtaining lawful consent.
11.3 You will not use Filmit customer lists, support communications, or community channels to solicit business for yourself or any third party.
11.4 Our handling of your data as an affiliate is described in our Privacy Policy (https://filmit.io/privacy).
Term, suspension, and termination
12.1 This Agreement begins when you accept it and continues until terminated.
12.2 You may terminate at any time, for any reason, by ceasing use of your Affiliate Link and notifying us in writing at affiliates@filmit.io. If that mailbox is unavailable, notice to support@filmit.io is sufficient.
12.3 We may terminate at any time, with or without cause, on written notice.
12.4 We may suspend your account and withhold payouts immediately, without prior notice, where we reasonably suspect a breach of Section 5, fraud, or activity that harms our brand, customers, or platform relationships, while we investigate.
12.5 On ordinary termination (no breach): the license in Section 3.2 ends immediately, you must remove all Marks and Affiliate Links from your content within 30 days, tracking cookies already set continue to be honored for purchases made within the 90 day window, and commissions properly earned before termination are paid on the normal schedule. Recurring commissions on existing Referred Customers stop at termination unless we agree otherwise in writing.
12.6 On termination for breach of Section 5: all unpaid commissions are forfeited, we may reverse commissions already paid on transactions tainted by the breach, and we may pursue any other remedy available at law.
12.7 Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 7.4, 9.5, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 survive termination.
Representations and warranties
You represent and warrant that:
(a) you have the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement;
(b) all information you provide in your application and to the Affiliate Platform is accurate and complete, and you will keep it current;
(c) your promotional content and channels do not and will not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
(d) you are not located in, and will not promote into, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo, and you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
(e) your participation does not breach any other agreement or any employer policy that binds you.
Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Filmit and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, penalty, cost, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to (a) your promotional activity and content, (b) your breach of this Agreement, particularly Sections 5 and 8, (c) your violation of any law or any third party right, and (d) any tax, contribution, or penalty assessed on account of your commissions.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
15.1 The Program, the Affiliate Platform, the Marks, and all promotional assets are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that tracking will be uninterrupted, complete, or error free.
15.2 We do not warrant the availability, accuracy, or continuity of the Affiliate Platform, which is operated by a third party, and we are not liable for its acts, omissions, outages, tracking failures, or payment delays.
15.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost commissions, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to the Program, even if advised of the possibility.
15.4 Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement is limited to the total commissions actually paid to you in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
15.5 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. In those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Governing law and disputes
16.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
16.2 Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement is subject to the dispute resolution, arbitration, and class action waiver provisions of our Terms of Service, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and which include an informal resolution step, individual binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules, a class action waiver, a small claims carve-out, a carve-out for claims to protect intellectual property, and a 30-day right to opt out of arbitration. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, including any claim severed from arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Charleston County, South Carolina have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
16.3 The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
General
17.1 Amendment. We may amend this Agreement. Material changes take effect 30 days after we post the updated version and notify you at the email on your affiliate account. Continued participation after the effective date is acceptance.
17.2 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, your affiliate account, or your Affiliate Link without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
17.3 Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, EULA, and Refund Policy, is the entire agreement between us regarding the Program and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals, and rate offers.
17.4 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed, and the remainder stays in force.
17.5 Waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
17.6 Notices. We give notice to the email address on your affiliate account. You give notice to affiliates@filmit.io. Notice is effective on the day sent.
17.7 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
17.8 Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
