About affiliate agreement templates

An affiliate agreement (also called an affiliate marketing agreement or referral agreement) is a contract between a merchant and an affiliate partner that defines the rules of the referral relationship. Without a written agreement, disputes over commissions, cookie attribution, and promotional conduct are hard to resolve. A clear contract protects both parties.

A well-drafted affiliate agreement should cover: the commission structure (percentage of sale, flat fee, or hybrid), what events trigger a commission (completed sale, lead form, subscription start), the attribution method (last-click cookie, first-click, or multi-touch), the cookie duration, payment schedule and minimum payout thresholds, accepted promotional methods (organic content, email, paid search), and prohibited conduct (brand bidding, trademark misuse, incentivized traffic).

It should also address: how the affiliate may promote the products, who owns creative assets, how the affiliate must disclose the relationship under FTC guidelines (required in the US for any material connection), what data the affiliate may collect, and how the agreement terminates. A clean termination clause — including what happens to earned but unpaid commissions on termination — prevents the most common disputes.

Most SaaS affiliate programs use attribution platforms such as Impact, PartnerStack, or ShareASale that enforce cookie rules automatically, but a written agreement is still essential for clarifying what happens when the platform does not cover a scenario — such as a direct referral email that bypasses tracking.

The template generated here is a starting point for US-based programs covering standard clauses. Have a lawyer review it before deploying a live program, especially if you have many partners or high commission volumes.

Frequently asked questions

What should an affiliate agreement include?

At minimum: commission rate and structure, what events earn a commission, cookie duration and attribution rules, payment schedule, approved promotional methods, FTC disclosure requirements, prohibited conduct such as brand bidding, and termination provisions including treatment of pending commissions.

Do I need a separate agreement for each affiliate?

Most programs use a standard agreement with a clickwrap acceptance. Individual agreements are more common for high-value or exclusive partnerships with unique commission terms.

Should I have a lawyer review the agreement before launch?

Yes — especially if you plan to run a public affiliate program with many partners or significant commission volumes. This template is a starting point, not legal advice. A lawyer can ensure the terms comply with your jurisdiction, cover your specific attribution model, and hold up if a dispute arises.

Is the generated template legally binding?

A signed agreement based on this template can be legally binding, but it is a template — review it, customize it for your jurisdiction, and have a lawyer check it before use in a live program.

Is the affiliate agreement generator free?

Yes — completely free, no signup required. Generate and download as many templates as you need.
