Decorator Depot Partners · Effective November 15, 2026 · Version 2026-11-15
These terms govern the Decorator Depot affiliate program. “We,” “us” and “Decorator Depot” mean Decorator Depot LLC. By applying and accepting these terms, you agree to follow them if your application is approved. Questions: info@decoratordepot.us.
1. Applying and joining
The program is for US-based independent affiliates and businesses. You must be at least 18 and of legal age to enter an agreement where you live, provide accurate information, and have authority to represent any business named in your application. Verify your email address and submit your application. Every application requires manual approval. Applying or creating an account does not activate your participation or entitle you to commissions. Check your affiliate portal for your application status.
You act independently. Participation does not make you our employee, agent, franchisee or legal partner, and you cannot make commitments on our behalf. You choose your promotional activities and bear your own expenses. Earnings are not guaranteed.
2. Commission rates
| Eligible merchandise | Commission |
|---|---|
| Equipment | 4% |
| Ink | 2% |
| All other eligible products | 2% |
At launch, eligible equipment means the heat presses in our Heat Presses collection. Accessories, including the Slide-Lock Heat Press Platen, earn 2%. A specific product rule takes priority over a collection rule, followed by the program default. Any individually agreed variation must be confirmed by Decorator Depot and recorded in your program settings. The starter program has no automatic sales tiers.
Commission is calculated per order line on paid merchandise value after discounts, excluding shipping, taxes, tips, gift-card purchases and refunded or canceled merchandise. Amounts are calculated in US dollars and rounded to cents. There is no separate reward for recruiting affiliates.
3. Links, codes and attribution
After approval, use the referral links and code provided in your portal. The starter referral code tracks the referral; it does not give the customer a discount. Use the referral-code field or instructions provided by the store, rather than promising a checkout discount.
A valid referral code takes priority over a tracked link. Otherwise, the most recent eligible tracked link within 30 days receives credit. If neither applies, an eligible customer or product assignment may receive credit when we have expressly set one up. Only one affiliate receives commission for an order line. The starter program does not automatically assign a customer to you for life.
You and the program must be active for a referral to qualify. Self-referrals are ineligible. We use store order records and valid tracking evidence to determine attribution. Customer consent choices, blocked cookies, device changes and incomplete tracking can affect attribution; a click or untracked sale does not guarantee commission. Contact us with any disputed referral and supporting information for review.
4. Pending earnings, refunds and adjustments
A recorded commission is initially subject to payment, fulfillment and review. For physical merchandise, the normal hold is 30 days after fulfillment, and the order must be paid. Partial fulfillments mature separately. Items that do not require shipping can become eligible after payment without that physical-fulfillment hold. Reviews of attribution, refunds, fraud or missing order information may delay availability.
Returns, cancellations, payment reversals and fraudulent or otherwise ineligible sales can reduce or reverse commission, including after a hold ends. Adjustments use the original commission terms. If an affected commission was already paid, the adjustment may offset future earnings and result in a negative balance. Later rate changes do not rewrite the rate on an earlier qualifying paid order. We will review reported calculation or attribution errors.
5. Manual payments and tax information
Payments are reviewed and issued manually in US dollars using a method agreed with you. Automatic PayPal payouts are not enabled. Your available balance is eligible for payout review; it is not a promise of payment on a particular date. Contact info@decoratordepot.us about payment arrangements or an available balance.
Provide accurate payment information and a completed W-9 through the secure portal. Tax documents must be verified before a payout is approved. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax documents or bank details by ordinary email. You are responsible for your own tax obligations; we may maintain and provide payment information as required by applicable law. Portal statements do not replace tax advice or required tax forms.
6. Honest promotion and disclosures
Clearly disclose that you may earn a commission wherever you recommend our products using a referral link or code. For example: “I earn a commission if you purchase through my Decorator Depot link or referral code.” Place the disclosure with the recommendation, where it is easy to notice before a purchase decision. A profile, footer, hidden text or unexplained “affiliate link” label alone is insufficient.
Use the same language as the promotion. Include disclosures in the video or image itself when relevant, and repeat them during livestreams. Platform disclosure tools may supplement your own clear disclosure. See the FTC’s disclosure guidance.
Describe your actual experience honestly and use verified product information. Do not invent reviews, testimonials, results or product claims, or offer rewards conditioned on positive reviews. Do not impersonate Decorator Depot, claim an unapproved discount, send unlawful unsolicited messages, manipulate tracking, force clicks, insert cookies without a genuine referral, or use another affiliate’s identity or code. Follow applicable advertising, privacy and intellectual-property laws.
Use only brand materials we provide or approve for this program and only to identify and promote the relevant products accurately. This permission ends when participation ends. Do not expose confidential business or customer information. Provide examples of your promotions on request and promptly correct or remove misleading claims or missing disclosures.
7. Affiliate information and privacy
Read our Privacy Policy. For this program, we process application and account details, public website or social-profile information you provide, referral activity, commission and payout records, and tax information you submit. We use these records to review applications, authenticate access, attribute sales, administer payments, prevent abuse, communicate about participation and meet recordkeeping obligations.
The program uses Shopify order information and Google Cloud/Firebase services for hosting, account verification and private program records. Payment and other service providers may process information needed to perform their services. Your portal provides your own program records; it does not give you customer contact details or other affiliates’ private records. Access to tax documents is restricted. Retention, privacy choices and requests are described in our Privacy Policy; contact us with questions. Keep your login private and report suspected unauthorized access.
8. Changes and ending participation
You may ask to leave at any time. We may pause or end participation for inaccurate information, suspected abuse, policy violations or program changes. Stop using program links, codes and brand materials after participation ends. Ending participation does not itself erase valid commissions already earned; those remain subject to the original eligibility, adjustment, tax and payment-review rules.
We may change future program rates or terms with notice through the portal or directly to you. Changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date. This dated version remains the record of the terms presented at launch. Contact info@decoratordepot.us to raise a question or dispute. Nothing in these terms removes rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
