Affiliate Agreement
This agreement (“Agreement”) is between you (the “Affiliate” and “you”) and us
(“Changing Courses 11” and “Renegade”) (collectively referred to as “The Parties”)
and governs your participation in the Renegade Affiliate Program (“Affiliate
Program”). The terms and conditions herein ensure the mutual success and
understanding of The Parties.
1. NATURE OF PARTNERSHIP. The Affiliate is deemed an independent
contractor per this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
to create a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship of any kind
between the Parties. The Affiliate is solely responsible for all taxes,
withholdings, fees, or other statutory or contractual obligations incurred
under this Agreement. The Affiliate does not have the power or authority to
contract or bind Changing Courses 11, LLC in any way.
2. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. This Agreement creates a non-exclusive relationship
between the Affiliate and Changing Courses 11. The Affiliate shall have the
right to work with other products or be an affiliate of other companies.
Changing Courses 11 shall have the right to work with other affiliates in
connection with the Renegade course and any other product related to.
3. APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE. Upon completion of your
application to become an Affiliate, Changing Courses 11 will review your
application and notify you whether you have been accepted. If we do not
notify you within thirty (30) days from the date you submitted your
application, your application is considered rejected.
After your submission of the application, you may be asked to complete
further criteria including but not limited to answering further questions,
completion of an interview, completion of an affiliate training program, or
providing documents. Failure to comply with any additional requirements
will result in an immediate rejection of your application. Upon notification of
your acceptance into the Affiliate Program, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be considered to be in full force and effect.
Once an Affiliate’s application has been approved, Changing Courses 11 will
provide a proprietary training program (“Affiliate Training”) to the Affiliate
for completion. Completion of the Affiliate Training is a strict requirement to
becoming an Affiliate. Even if your application has been accepted, you must
complete the Affiliate Training before you are accepted into the Affiliate
Program and have access to your affiliate link.
4. AFFILIATE PROGRAM. Changing Courses 11 operates an affiliate
marketing program (“Affiliate Program”) that allows third party Affiliates to
advertise, promote, and market Changing Courses 11’s product, Renegade, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In exchange for advertising,
promotion, and marketing, Affiliates are paid a commission on sales of
Renegade generated by the Affiliates.
Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Program, Affiliates will be given a link in
which they can use to advertise, promote, and market Renegade. When a
customer purchases Renegade through the Affiliate’s link, it will be tracked
and attributed to the Affiliate per Section 7 of this Agreement and the
Affiliate will receive payment according to Section 5 of this Agreement.
5. COMMISSIONS AND PAYMENTS. The Affiliate Program is a Pay-Per-
Sale commission structure; Affiliates earn a commission for each sale
generated through their affiliate link. Affiliates will earn a one-time sale
commission rate equal to 50% of the purchase price of Renegade. An Affiliate
becomes eligible to receive a commission when the customer has completed
the purchase of Renegade. Commissions are considered earned once the
refund period has lapsed and payment to the Affiliate has been processed.
The payment schedule shall be divided into twelve (12) pay periods, each pay
period beginning on the first day of each month and ending on the last day of
each month. Payments will be issued via PayPal or Wise on the 5th day of the
second month following the end of the pay period (i.e. the pay period from
January 1st-January 31st will be paid out on March 5th).
Changing Courses 11 offers customers a three (3) day buyer’s remorse period
for Renegade in which the customer can submit a request for a refund if the
product does not live up to the standards expected. If a customer’s refund
request is granted, the Affiliate will not earn commission for that sale.
6. LINK AND BRAND PROMOTION TERMS. Affiliates agree to the
following terms and conditions in their advertising, marketing, and
promotion of their affiliate link and the Renegade brand:
a. Affiliates shall not make income or lifestyle claims of any kind
including, but not limited to, claims of how much income the Affiliate
has derived from the Affiliate Program, items, experiences, or services
Affiliate was able to purchase using income derived from the Affiliate
Program, or any other advertising, marketing, or promotion related to
monies or lifestyle associated with income derived from the Affiliate
Program. This undermines the integrity of Renegade and the mission
of Changing Courses 11, LLC to encourage customers to build
something of value rather than chasing a particular income or lifestyle.
b. Affiliates shall not advertise, promote, or market their affiliate link on
image sharing media websites such as Pinterest, Houzz, Snap, or any
similar websites.
c. Affiliates shall not advertise, promote, or market their affiliate link on
any e-commerce websites including, but not limited to, Etsy, Ebay, or
Shopify.
d. Affiliates shall not advertise, promote, or market their affiliate link on
any online course platform including, but not limited to, Teachable,
Kajabi, or Coursera.
e. Affiliates shall not advertise, promote, or market their affiliate link on
any website whose terms and conditions expressly prohibit the
advertising, promotion, or marketing of affiliate links.
7. AFFILIATE TRACKING. Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Program, an
Affiliate will be given access to trackdesk, an affiliate tracking software,
which will give an affiliate access to track their link. The link provided to the
Affiliate will be tracked via code injection to Changing Courses 11’s website
header and check out page. Trackdesk is where an Affiliate can go to see a
variety of data including, but not limited to, the number of sales in a given
pay period and total, revenue paid out, clicks, and conversions.
Affiliate’s link will be tracked using a 1-day cookie that attaches to the first
link a potential customer clicks on. This allows an affiliate link one (1) day to
claim a potential customer’s sale. Changing Courses 11 will not change the
outcome of a customer clicking on a link.
Changing Courses 11, LLC is not responsible for a customer clicking on the
wrong link or clicking on multiple links. If an Affiliate’s link is not working
properly, you will need to visit changingcourses11.courses and submit a form.
Changing Courses 11 does not guarantee an Affiliate a response to an inquiry
if it is submitted outside of the applicable form. Changing Courses 11 will do
its best to resolve inquiries within 3-5 business days from submission of an
inquiry.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION.

Affiliate participates in the Affiliate Program or until the Affiliate’s
status is terminated.
b. Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause by giving
fifteen (15) days written notice to the other party.
c. Changing Courses 11, LLC may terminate this Agreement
