Affiliate Program Terms
Last updated: March 2025
Overview
The BC Innovate Affiliate Program lets you earn a commission by sharing your unique referral link. When someone makes a purchase through your link, you earn a percentage of the sale. This page explains how the program works, how commissions are calculated, and what’s expected of participants.
Quick summary
| Commission rate | Eligible products |
| 9% per sale* | All products |
| Payout method | W-9 required |
| Arranged by email | Over $600/year |
* Commission rate is subject to change. See Section 2.
1. Joining the program
Anyone can apply by submitting a registration request. All accounts are reviewed and approved manually by BC Innovate. We reserve the right to approve or deny any application at our sole discretion. You will be notified by email once your account has been reviewed.
You must be at least 18 years old and provide accurate information during registration. Creating multiple accounts is not permitted.
2. Commissions
Once approved, you’ll receive a unique referral link. When a customer clicks your link and completes a purchase, you earn a commission on the order subtotal (before taxes and shipping). All products in the BC Innovate store are eligible.
The current commission rate is 9%. This rate is subject to change at any time. Any rate change will apply to sales made after the change takes effect and will be communicated via email or posted on this page.
Commissions are not earned on:
- Orders that are returned or refunded — commissions on returned items will be reversed
- Orders identified as fraudulent
- Purchases made using your own referral link (self-referrals are not allowed)
3. Payouts
There is no automatic payout schedule. When your balance is eligible for withdrawal, we will contact you by email to confirm the amount and discuss your preferred payment method.
Commissions are considered pending until the associated order’s return window has passed. Pending commissions are not eligible for payout.
4. Tax reporting (W-9)
If your total commissions exceed $600 in a calendar year, we are required by U.S. law to collect a completed W-9 form before issuing payment. We will reach out by email to request this form when applicable.
If a W-9 is required and not provided, your payout will be held until it is received. You are responsible for reporting any commissions earned as income on your own tax return.
Acceptable promotion
You may share your referral link through personal websites, social media, email newsletters, and similar channels. You may not:
- Make false or misleading claims about BC Innovate products
- Use spam tactics including unsolicited email blasts or mass forum posts
- Run paid ads targeting our brand or product names without prior written permission
- Artificially inflate clicks or referrals through any means
6. Program changes and termination
BC Innovate may update these terms, adjust commission rates, or modify any aspect of the program at any time. We will notify active affiliates of significant changes by email. Continued participation after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any affiliate account at any time for violations of these terms or for any other reason. Valid commissions earned prior to termination will still be paid out.
