Commission Structure 4.1 **Commission Rate.** AfterSlim will pay Affiliate a commission equal to **[INSERT COMMISSION %]%** of Net Qualified Sales attributed to Affiliate during the Cookie Window. 4.2 **Attribution.** Attribution is determined by AfterSlim's tracking system. Last-click attribution within the 30-day Cookie Window applies.

The following are excluded from Commission calculation: (a) Refunded, returned, or charged-back orders. (b) Orders cancelled before fulfillment. (c) Orders flagged as fraudulent or suspicious. (d) Orders placed by Affiliate, members of Affiliate's household, or any account materially controlled by Affiliate. (e) Sales of products other than AfterSlim Products (for example, gift cards). (f) Taxes, shipping fees, and any platform-applied discounts. 4.4 **Self-Referrals Prohibited.** Affiliate may not use its own Referral Link to purchase Products for itself or for any related party. Violations result in forfeiture of the Commission and may result in termination. 4.5 **No Commission on Modified Status.** No Commission accrues for sales that occur while Affiliate's status is Pending, Rejected, Revoked, or Banned. 4.6 **Rate Changes.** AfterSlim may modify the Commission rate prospectively on thirty (30) days' notice as described in Section 22. Commissions earned prior to the effective date of any change are paid at the prior rate. --- ## 5. Payment Terms 5.1 **Payout Frequency.** Approved Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, generally within fifteen (15) business days following the end of each calendar month, subject to the minimum payout threshold in Section 5.2. 5.2 **Minimum Payout Threshold.** A minimum balance of **[INSERT THRESHOLD, e.g., $50.00 USD]** is required before payout. Balances below the threshold roll into the next month. 5.3 **Hold Period.** Commissions are held for a thirty (30) day clearing period to allow for refunds, chargebacks, and fraud review. Commissions become payable after the clearing period ends and all eligibility conditions are met. 5.4 **Payout Methods.** Payouts are issued manually using one of the following methods, at AfterSlim's election or as agreed with Affiliate: (a) **Bank of America ACH** transfer to a U.S. bank account (preferred). (b) **Wise** transfer. (c) **PayPal** as a fallback. AfterSlim does not currently use Stripe Connect or similar automated payout services. Affiliate is responsible for any fees imposed by the receiving institution or platform. 5.5 **Tax Forms Required.** Affiliate must submit a complete and accurate IRS Form W-9 before any payout is processed. AfterSlim will withhold 24% of all payouts to any Affiliate who has not submitted a valid W-9, as required under U.S. federal backup withholding rules. 5.6 **1099-NEC Reporting.** AfterSlim will issue an IRS Form 1099-NEC for each calendar year in which Affiliate receives at least **$2,000 USD** in payouts (or such other threshold as may be required by applicable IRS rules). Affiliate is responsible for reporting all Commission income on its own tax returns. 5.7 **Disputed Amounts.** Affiliate must notify AfterSlim of any disputed Commission amount within sixty (60) days of the relevant payout statement. Disputes not raised within this period are waived. 5.8 **Currency.** All amounts are denominated and paid in U.S. dollars (USD). --- ## 6. Tax Compliance 6.1 **Independent Contractor.** Affiliate is an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of AfterSlim. Affiliate is solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on Commissions, including self-employment tax. 6.2 **No Benefits.** Affiliate is not entitled to any employee benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or similar protections from AfterSlim. 6.3 **W-9 Requirement.** Submission of a valid IRS Form W-9 is a condition of payment. AfterSlim relies on the information in the W-9 to comply with IRS reporting obligations. Affiliate must promptly notify AfterSlim of any change to the information on its W-9. 6.4 **Backup Withholding.** If Affiliate fails to provide a valid W-9, or if the IRS notifies AfterSlim that backup withholding is required, AfterSlim will withhold 24% (or the then-current statutory rate) from all payouts and remit the withheld amounts to the IRS. --- ## 7. Representations and Warranties Affiliate represents and warrants, on a continuing basis throughout the term of this Agreement, that: 7.1 Affiliate has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. 7.2 Affiliate will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including without limitation the rules and guidelines of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (including 16 C.F.R. Part 255), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (including the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994), the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, applicable state consumer protection laws, and the terms of service of every platform on which Affiliate promotes the Products. 7.3 All content created by Affiliate in connection with the Program will be original or properly licensed, will not infringe any third-party intellectual property right, and will not be defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful. 7.4 Affiliate will not engage in any deceptive, misleading, or unfair trade practice. 7.5 Affiliate has obtained, and will maintain, all consents required to use any data of third parties in connection with the Program (including email marketing consents under CAN-SPAM and SMS consents under the TCPA). --- ## 8. FTC Compliance and Required Disclosures 8.1 **Material Connection Disclosure.** Affiliate must clearly and conspicuously disclose its material connection to AfterSlim in every piece of content that promotes a Product, in a manner consistent with the FTC's Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and the FTC publication "Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers". 8.2 **Placement.** Disclosures must be placed where consumers are likely to see them before they engage with the endorsement. Burying a disclosure in hashtags, in a profile bio, behind a "more" link, or at the end of a long caption does not satisfy this requirement. 8.3 **Acceptable Formats.** Examples of acceptable disclosures include "#ad" or "#sponsored" placed at the very beginning of a caption, a spoken disclosure within the first 30 seconds of a video, a clearly visible on-screen text overlay, or the use of the platform's official paid partnership label. 8.4 **Unacceptable Formats.** Examples of disclosures that do not satisfy FTC requirements include "#sp", "#thanks", "#collab" without further context, "press sample", disclosures placed only in hidden hashtags, and disclosures shown only after a "see more" cutoff. 8.5 **Content Guidelines.** Affiliate must follow the AfterSlim Content Guidelines (the **"Content Guidelines"**) attached as an exhibit to this Agreement and incorporated by reference. The Content Guidelines may be updated by AfterSlim from time to time. --- ## 9. Restrictions on Marketing Conduct Affiliate shall not, directly or indirectly: 9.1 Bid on, register, or use the trademark "AfterSlim", any misspelling or variant thereof, or any AfterSlim brand keyword in any pay-per-click, paid search, or paid social campaign on Google, Bing, Meta, TikTok, or any other platform. 9.2 Register, use, or attempt to register any domain name, subdomain, social handle, or app store listing that incorporates "AfterSlim", any misspelling thereof, or any name confusingly similar. 9.3 Use spam, unsolicited email, unsolicited SMS, robocalls, autodialers, or any other communication method that violates the CAN-SPAM Act or the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. 9.4 Place Referral Links on coupon-only sites, cashback sites, or any platform whose primary purpose is the distribution of promotional codes, except sites that AfterSlim has expressly approved in writing. 9.5 Engage in cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, hidden iframes, pop-unders, malware, browser extensions that inject Referral Links without user consent, or any other practice that artificially inflates clicks, impressions, or conversions. 9.6 Create, post, or distribute fake reviews, fake testimonials, fake before-and-after content, or AI-generated likenesses of real customers without proper disclosure. 9.7 Offer cash rebates, gift cards, or any other incentive to consumers in exchange for using the Referral Link, except where expressly authorized by AfterSlim in writing. 9.8 Misrepresent its relationship to AfterSlim, including by suggesting employment, endorsement, partnership, or agency that does not exist. --- ## 10. Prohibited Claims 10.1 AfterSlim Products are dietary supplements. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA") and FDA regulations, dietary supplements may not be marketed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. 10.2 **Affiliate shall not make, imply, or republish any of the following claims** (this list is illustrative, not exhaustive): (a) That the Products cure, treat, prevent, or diagnose any disease, including obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, or any GLP-1 related side effect.

(e) That the Products replace, substitute for, enhance, or counteract any prescription medication (including any GLP-1 receptor agonist such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or any successor product). Affiliate may reference the Products as a "companion" to a consumer's existing GLP-1 routine only in language pre-approved by AfterSlim. (f) Comparisons that disparage any specific competing product or company by name in a manner that is false, misleading, or unsubstantiated. (g) Any health or efficacy claim not listed on the "Approved Claims" list within the Content Guidelines. 10.3 **Required FDA Disclaimer.** All content making any structure/function statement about the Products must include the following disclaimer in a clearly visible location: > *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.* 10.4 Affiliate is solely responsible for the accuracy of every claim it makes. AfterSlim's approval of specific claim language does not relieve Affiliate of independent compliance responsibility. --- ## 11. Intellectual Property 11.1 **Limited License.** Subject to Affiliate's continuous compliance with this Agreement, AfterSlim grants Affiliate a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Brand Assets solely to promote the Products through the Program. 11.2 **Restrictions.** Affiliate shall not (a) modify, distort, recolor, or animate the Brand Assets without prior written consent, (b) use the Brand Assets in a manner that disparages AfterSlim, (c) use the Brand Assets in connection with any product or service other than the Products, or (d) claim ownership of any Brand Asset. 11.3 **Reservation of Rights.** All rights not expressly granted are reserved by AfterSlim. AfterSlim owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Brand Assets, the Site, the Products, and all related intellectual property. 11.4 **Content Created by Affiliate.** Affiliate retains ownership of original content it creates. By creating and posting such content with Brand Assets, Affiliate grants AfterSlim a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to repost, quote, reference, or otherwise use such content in AfterSlim marketing, with attribution where commercially reasonable. 11.5 **Termination of License.** The license in Section 11.1 terminates automatically upon termination of this Agreement or upon Affiliate's status changing to Revoked or Banned.
