NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1. “Affiliate Link” refers to a URL generated and provided by the Amazon Attribution
Program, which includes a unique tag for that specific URL.
1.2. “Affiliate Portal” refers to the online platform operated by Archer Affiliates, including
the dashboard through which the Brand sets and updates commission rates and related
billing settings, as well as the reporting, data flow, and related functions available to the
Brand. The commission calculation for any Qualified Purchase uses the rate and settings
as they exist in the Affiliate Portal at the time Amazon reports the sale.
1.3. “Amazon Attribution Program refers to the program that generates and provides
Affiliate Links and reports on unit sales, revenue, and URL clicks from the Affiliate Links
to Amazon.
1.4. “Brand” refers to the business entity creating an Archer Affiliates account and accepting
these terms.
1.5. “Brand Offer” refers to a promotional offer established by the Brand in the Affiliate
Portal, including the Brand product, the applicable commission rate, the Amazon
marketplace(s) in which the offer is active, and any related materials or instructions made
available to Publishers.
1.6. “Customer” refers to an individual who makes a Qualified Purchase on Amazon.
2
1.7. “Publisher” refers to any third-party individual or entity, including affiliate marketers,
affiliates, creators, content creators, influencers, and media partners, that promotes Brand
Offers through Affiliate Links and earns a commission for Qualified Purchases. Publishers
are independent contractors and independent business entities. Publishers are not
employees, agents, joint venturers, or partners of Archer Affiliates, and Archer Affiliates
does not own, control, or direct any Publisher. The terms “affiliate marketer,” “affiliate,”
“creator,” “content creator,” “influencer,” and “media partner” are used interchangeably
with “Publisher” throughout this Agreement.
1.8. “Qualified Purchase” refers to a Customer’s purchase of a Brand product on Amazon
made through the Affiliate Link and recorded by the Amazon Attribution Program.
1.9. “Services” refers to the affiliate marketing network operated by Archer Affiliates,
including the Affiliate Portal, the creation and tracking of Affiliate Links via the Amazon
Attribution Program, reporting, billing, Publisher payment facilitation, and related
services.
2. PURPOSE
2.1. This Agreement aims to establish a non-exclusive relationship between Archer Affiliates
and the Brand, under which Archer Affiliates makes the Brand’s products available to
Publishers through the Affiliate Portal. Publishers, in their sole discretion, select which
Brand Offers to promote and drive sales through their own channels and audiences. The
Brand shall compensate Archer Affiliates at the agreed-upon commission rate whenever a
sale of the Brand’s product(s) is made on Amazon through the Affiliate Link and recorded
by the Amazon Attribution Program.
2.2. This Agreement applies to each Amazon marketplace in which the Brand activates a Brand
Offer through the Affiliate Portal, including but not limited to Amazon.com (United
States), Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom), Amazon.de (Germany), and Amazon.fr
(France). All terms and conditions of this Agreement apply on a per-marketplace basis.
Where the Brand activates Brand Offers in more than one marketplace, Archer Affiliates
shall issue a separate invoice for each marketplace, denominated and payable in the local
currency of the applicable marketplace (for example, USD for Amazon.com, GBP for
Amazon.co.uk, and EUR for Amazon.de and Amazon.fr). The applicable commission rate
shall be applied to the gross revenue of the Qualified Purchase in the local currency.
Publishers participating in Brand Offers will be paid in the local currency in which they
earned the commission, in accordance with their separate agreement with Archer Affiliates.
Because invoicing and Publisher payouts occur in matching local currencies, no foreign
exchange conversion is required in the normal course. If the Brand elects to pay an invoice
in a currency other than the local currency of the applicable marketplace, the Brand shall
bear all currency conversion fees, bank charges, transfer fees, and intermediary fees
associated with such payment.

3. COMMISSIONS
3.1. Archer Affiliates shall be entitled to payment of the commission rate specified by the Brand
in the Affiliate Portal for each Qualified Purchase. The commission calculation for any
given sale uses the rate and related settings as they exist in the Affiliate Portal at the time
Amazon reports the sale.
3.2. The commission rate established by the Brand in the Affiliate Portal represents the full
commission payable by the Brand for each Qualified Purchase. Archer Affiliates retains a
portion of each commission as its platform fee and pays the remaining portion to the
applicable Publisher pursuant to Archer Affiliates’ separate agreement with that Publisher.
The Brand is not a party to, and has no rights or obligations under, any agreement between
Archer Affiliates and any Publisher.
3.3. The Brand shall compensate Archer Affiliates with the agreed-upon commission stated in
the Affiliate Portal every 14 days on the 1st and 14th of every month, starting from the first
sale from an Archer Affiliates-generated link, for the total revenue of Qualified Purchases
in the previous 14 days as reported by the Amazon Attribution Program.
3.4. Brands are fully responsible for all acts or omissions under their Affiliate Portal, including
fraudulent clicks, unauthorized data pulls, or misuse of the Affiliate Portal. Archer
Affiliates may suspend or terminate any Brand for breach or suspicious activity.
4. BILLING, PAYMENT, AND TAXES
4.1. Archer Affiliates will issue invoices via email to the Brand’s designated billing address on
the 1st and 14th of each month, covering Qualified Purchases recorded in the prior sales
period.
4.2. Payment is due on the date the invoice is issued.
4.3. If the Brand fails to pay any invoiced amount within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, a
late fee of two percent (2%) per month will be added to the outstanding balance until paid
in full.
4.4. To use the Services, the Brand must provide and maintain at least one valid Payment
Method on file. “Payment Method” means a valid credit card issued by a bank acceptable
to Archer Affiliates, a bank account, a debit card, or such other method of payment as
Archer Affiliates may accept from time to time in its sole discretion. The Brand authorizes
Archer Affiliates to (i) run credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided, (ii) store
credit card, banking, and other financial details as the Brand’s Payment Method, and (iii)
charge the Payment Method for amounts owed as set forth in this Agreement. By providing
Payment Method information, the Brand represents that it is legally authorized to provide
such information and to make payments using the Payment Method, and that such actions
do not violate any terms applicable to the Payment Method or applicable law.
4
4.5. If the Brand elects to pay by credit card, a processing fee of two point nine percent (2.9%)
plus thirty cents ($0.30) per transaction will apply. ACH or wire transfer payments incur
no additional processing fee.
4.6. If the Brand fails to pay any amount when due, Archer Affiliates may, without notice, (i)
temporarily suspend or permanently revoke the Brand’s access to the Affiliate Portal and
Services, (ii) charge all or any portion of amounts due to any Payment Method on file, (iii)
report the non-payment to credit reporting agencies and cooperate with law enforcement
or collection authorities in any investigation or proceeding, and (iv) pursue any other
remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law. Archer Affiliates’ election not
to pursue any one or more of these remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any other
remedy. Notwithstanding any suspension or revocation of access, the Brand shall remain
liable for all amounts payable to Archer Affiliates.
4.7. All commissions and other amounts payable to Archer Affiliates under this Agreement are
exclusive of, and shall be paid free and clear of, any and all value added tax (VAT), goods
and services tax (GST), sales tax, use tax, excise tax, withholding tax, and any other
transactional, indirect, or similar taxes, levies, duties, or charges, together with any related
interest, penalties, and surcharges (collectively, “Taxes”). The Brand shall be solely
responsible for, and shall pay, all Taxes arising in connection with this Agreement, other
than taxes imposed on Archer Affiliates’ net income. If any applicable law requires the
Brand to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment due to Archer Affiliates, the
Brand shall increase the sum payable by such amount as is necessary so that, after making
all required deductions and withholdings, Archer Affiliates receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. The Brand
shall be solely responsible for determining the applicability of, registering for, collecting,
reporting, and remitting any Taxes in any jurisdiction. Archer Affiliates shall have no
obligation to register for, collect, file, or remit Taxes in any jurisdiction outside of the
United States.
4.8. The Brand and Archer Affiliates agree to adhere to the detailed commission structure
outlined in the Affiliate Portal. Any changes to this structure must be agreed upon in writing
by both parties.
5. SALES DATA, REPORTING, AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Attribution Program, including but not limited to unit sales, Affiliate Link clicks, and
revenue from Qualified Purchases on promoted Brand product(s).
5.2. All sales and performance data under this Agreement shall be sourced exclusively from
Amazon’s Attribution dashboard (or Amazon Seller Central, as applicable). In the event of
any system bug, discrepancy, or data latency, Amazon’s reporting shall be the sole
authoritative record for invoicing, payment calculations, performance metrics, and audits.
5
5.3. From time to time, Amazon may record refunds, chargebacks, or other events that change
previously recorded conversions and sales. In such cases, commission amounts will be
automatically adjusted to reflect the latest data from the Amazon Attribution Program.
5.4. Any dispute regarding invoiced data must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days
of the invoice date, accompanied by evidence of the dispute’s validity.
5.5. If the parties cannot resolve a dispute by good-faith negotiation between senior executives
within thirty (30) days after submission, they shall submit the matter to mediation under
the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Mediation Rules, followed by binding
arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may
be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

6.2. The Brand must promptly notify Archer Affiliates if it knows or suspects any Prohibited
Use through its account. Archer Affiliates may investigate and take any action it deems
appropriate, including suspending or terminating Brand access, if it believes the Brand has

this Agreement, it will not knowingly use Publishers originally introduced to the Brand
