Affiliate & Referral Program Terms

Last updated: July 2026

These Affiliate & Referral Program Terms govern participation in the Partner Program offered by Cardtree Technologies Private Limited, operating The Double (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By participating in the Partner Program, you agree to these Terms, our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and any program rules shown in your dashboard.

1. Overview

The Partner Program may include:

• Referral Program: rewards for bringing new verified users;

• Affiliate Program: commissions for paid conversions.

You may participate in either or both, subject to eligibility, verification, and account standing.

Participation in the Partner Program does not make you an employee, agent, legal representative, franchisee, reseller, or official spokesperson of The Double or Cardtree Technologies Private Limited.

You may promote The Double, but you may not make official promises, guarantees, legal claims, pricing commitments, security claims, compliance claims, roadmap commitments, or product representations unless we approve them in writing.

2. Key Definitions

Partner / Referrer: A user who shares a referral or affiliate link.

Referred User: A user who signs up using your referral or affiliate link.

Qualified Referral: A referred user who signs up and completes valid LinkedIn verification or any other verification required by us.

Successful Payment: A completed payment that is not refunded, disputed, reversed, fraudulent, or cancelled.

Net Revenue: Amount actually received by us, excluding taxes, discounts, refunds, credits, chargebacks, payment gateway fees, and processing fees.

Approved Commission: Commission that has passed validation and is eligible for payout.

3. Referral Program

Each eligible user may receive a unique referral link or ID.

A referral is valid only if the referred user:

• signs up using your referral link;

• uses a unique and valid account;

• completes LinkedIn verification or any verification required by us;

• is not a fake, duplicate, self-created, or abusive account.

Upon a Qualified Referral, both users may receive:

• 50 text replies

• 10 voice minutes

Referral credits:

• have no monetary value;

• cannot be withdrawn as cash;

• cannot be transferred, sold, refunded, or exchanged;

• may expire, change, or be revoked in cases of fraud, abuse, or program changes.

Referral attribution is tracked for up to 90 days from the first click, unless otherwise stated. Attribution is determined by our internal systems.

4. Affiliate Program

You may earn commission when a Referred User makes a Successful Payment.

Commission Structure

Unless otherwise stated:

• commission is 30% of Net Revenue;

• monthly plan commissions apply to each Successful Payment;

• annual plan commission is earned once on the annual payment;

• commissions apply only to paid plans, not free plans, trials, failed payments, credits, discounts, refunds, or disputed transactions.

Commission Duration

Commission is valid for up to 12 months per Referred User, starting from the first Successful Payment.

The 12-month period does not reset if the user cancels, pauses, downgrades, upgrades, or re-subscribes.

Commissions apply only while:

• the Referred User remains an active paying customer;

• your partner account remains active and in good standing;

• the payment is successful, valid, and not refunded or disputed.

5. Commission Approval

Commissions are recorded as Pending after a Successful Payment.

A 7-day validation period applies from the payment date.

During this period:

• if the payment is refunded, disputed, reversed, or flagged, the commission may be cancelled;

• if the payment clears validation, the commission becomes Approved.

Only Approved Commissions are eligible for payout.

We may extend the validation period for high-risk, suspicious, enterprise, annual, or manually reviewed transactions.

6. Payouts

Only Approved Commissions are payable.

Payouts are processed monthly, at our discretion.

Balances below the threshold may be carried forward.

You must provide valid payout, tax, identity, and bank details where required.

We may delay, withhold, reverse, or cancel payouts if:

• tax, bank, identity, or compliance details are incomplete;

• the customer requests a refund;

• the payment is disputed, reversed, fraudulent, or suspicious;

• the partner violates these Terms;

• the partner uses spam, bots, fake accounts, or deceptive marketing;

• required affiliate disclosures are missing;

• payout would violate law, sanctions, tax rules, platform rules, or internal risk checks.

7. Taxes, GST, and TDS

You are responsible for all taxes, filings, registrations, invoices, and compliance obligations related to referral rewards, affiliate commissions, or partner income.

Where required by law, we may deduct TDS, withholding tax, or other applicable deductions before payout.

If you are GST registered, you may be required to provide your GSTIN and issue a valid tax invoice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, commissions are exclusive of GST.

Failure to provide required PAN, GSTIN, bank, invoice, or tax details may result in delayed payouts, withheld payouts, higher deductions, or forfeiture where permitted by law.

8. Attribution Rules

Attribution is determined by our internal systems.

Unless otherwise stated:

• referral and affiliate attribution follow a 90-day window;

• attribution may follow last-click or system-defined logic;

• if multiple sources exist, final attribution is decided by us;

• attribution may not apply if tracking fails, cookies are blocked, links are modified, users sign up through another source, or technical limitations occur.

We are not responsible for failed tracking caused by browser restrictions, privacy settings, ad blockers, incorrect links, or third-party systems.

9. Refunds, Chargebacks, and Adjustments

Refunded, disputed, reversed, cancelled, fraudulent, or failed transactions do not qualify for commission.

If a commission was already paid for a transaction that is later refunded, disputed, reversed, or found invalid, we may deduct the amount from future payouts or request repayment.

We may correct errors in tracking, calculations, approval status, attribution, or payouts at any time.

10. Partner Conduct

You may not:

• create fake, duplicate, or self-referrals;

• use bots, spam, scraping, fake accounts, or deceptive practices;

• make misleading, exaggerated, or guaranteed income claims;

• claim users are guaranteed leads, customers, revenue, funding, jobs, followers, or business results;

• misrepresent The Double’s features, pricing, plans, limits, security, compliance, AI capabilities, or roadmap;

• claim to be an employee, founder, official representative, reseller, or authorized agent unless approved in writing;

• create fake reviews, fake testimonials, fake demos, or fake endorsements;

• impersonate The Double, Cardtree, our team, customers, users, or partners;

• use unauthorized voice cloning, deepfakes, AI personas, or synthetic media deceptively;

• send unsolicited bulk messages, spam emails, cold WhatsApp blasts, or unlawful outreach;

• collect personal data from referred users without proper notice, consent, and legal basis;

• offer unauthorized discounts, refunds, bonuses, guarantees, or commercial promises;

• promote The Double through illegal, adult, hateful, violent, political, gambling, drug-related, or harmful content;

• use coupon sites, cashback schemes, paid ads, brand bidding, or incentive campaigns unless approved by us in writing.

We may invalidate referrals, reverse commissions, withhold payouts, suspend access, or terminate participation if partner activity is fraudulent, misleading, abusive, unlawful, or harmful to The Double.

11. Affiliate Disclosure

If you may receive referral rewards, credits, commissions, discounts, benefits, or any other compensation for promoting The Double, you must clearly disclose this relationship wherever required by law or platform rules.

• “This is an affiliate link.”

• “Partner promotion.”

• “Sponsored.”

• “Paid partnership.”

Do not hide disclosures in unclear wording, long hashtag lists, footers, or places users are unlikely to notice.

You are responsible for complying with advertising, influencer, endorsement, consumer protection, and platform disclosure rules in the countries where you promote The Double.

12. AI and Synthetic Content in Promotions

If you use AI-generated content, AI avatars, AI voice, synthetic media, screenshots, demos, or automated messages to promote The Double, the content must be accurate, lawful, and not misleading.

You may not use AI-generated or synthetic content to:

• impersonate The Double, our team, our customers, or any third party;

• create fake endorsements, fake conversations, fake testimonials, or fake results;

• imply that a person, company, investor, creator, or public figure endorses The Double without permission;

• misrepresent what the product can do;

13. Data Protection and Outreach

If you collect, store, process, or contact personal data while promoting The Double, you are responsible for complying with applicable privacy, data protection, email, SMS, telemarketing, anti-spam, and consumer protection laws.

• scrape personal data for outreach;

• add users to mailing lists without required consent;

• send unlawful marketing messages;

• use The Double’s user data, Google user data, or connected-service data for advertising, retargeting, resale, or unrelated promotion.

Any user data collected by you must be handled lawfully, securely, and only for the permitted purpose.

14. Brand and Content Usage

You may use approved The Double brand assets, links, screenshots, and marketing material only to promote The Double honestly and professionally.

You may not:

• modify our logo in a misleading way;

• create confusing brand assets;

• imply official authorization where none exists;

• register similar domains, usernames, pages, or handles;

• use our brand in a way that harms trust, misleads users, or creates confusion.

We may ask you to remove or update promotional content that we believe is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, unlawful, or harmful to The Double’s reputation.

If your account is suspended, terminated, flagged, or under review:

Continued participation means you accept the updated terms.

17. No Exclusivity

Participation in the Partner Program is non-exclusive.

We may work with other partners, affiliates, agencies, resellers, creators, or referral sources at any time.

You are not guaranteed any territory, customer segment, category, or exclusive right to promote The Double.
