Clear disclosure
Disclose the material relationship clearly and conspicuously wherever an endorsement or referral appears. The disclosure must be easy to notice, understand, and associate with the endorsement. Place it with the message—not only in a profile, terms page, or group of hashtags.
Truthful statements
Promotions must reflect honest experience and accurate, current information. Do not make claims about features, results, savings, income, security, compliance, availability, or customer outcomes that FocalShift has not authorized or that cannot be substantiated.
Required wording and placement
Plain language such as “I earn a commission if you purchase through this link,” “Paid partnership with FocalShift,” or “Sponsored by FocalShift” is generally appropriate when true. Video disclosures should be visible and audible where practical. Live-stream disclosures should be repeated. Disclosures must appear in the same language as the endorsement.
Prohibited promotion methods
Do not use spam, deceptive redirects, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, misleading domains, unauthorized paid search on FocalShift trademarks, fake reviews, fabricated testimonials, impersonation, undisclosed incentives, self-referrals, trademark bidding, or content that violates the Acceptable Use Policy.
Brand use
Use approved brand assets and follow current brand guidance. Do not alter logos in a misleading way, imply employment or authority to bind FocalShift, register confusingly similar names, or present an independent site as an official FocalShift property.
Tracking and attribution
Referral credit is determined by FocalShift’s tracking records and applicable program terms. Links, codes, attribution windows, qualified actions, exclusions, reversals, and commission rates may vary by program and will be shown in the partner account or offer.
Payments and reversals
Commissions may be withheld or reversed for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, duplicate accounts, canceled transactions, policy violations, or ineligible referrals. Partners are responsible for taxes, accurate payment information, and required tax forms.
Monitoring and termination
FocalShift may review promotions and request correction or removal. Material or repeated violations may result in withheld commissions, suspension, or termination. Obligations concerning confidentiality, brand use, payment reconciliation, and unlawful conduct survive termination.
Contact
Affiliate and endorsement questions may be submitted through FocalShift Contact.
Material connections
A material connection includes payment, commission, employment, family or personal relationships, free or discounted products, gifts, travel, services, or any other benefit that could affect how an audience evaluates an endorsement. The disclosure must appear with the endorsement, be easy to notice and understand, and use the same language as the endorsement.
Video, audio, live, and visual content
For video, disclose in the content and not only in a description; visual and spoken disclosure may both be needed. For live content, repeat the disclosure periodically. For images and stories, place it where viewers can read it long enough. Do not bury disclosures after “more,” in a profile, among hashtags, or behind an ambiguous label.
Commissions, reversals, and taxes
Commissions may remain pending until attribution, payment settlement, refund, fraud, and eligibility checks are complete. We may reverse commissions tied to cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, self-referrals, duplicate attribution, prohibited promotion, or fraud. Affiliates are responsible for tax information and reporting required for their earnings.
