Responsibility for your team. You are responsible for ensuring anyone acting on your behalf complies with this Agreement.

4. Commissions

4.1 Qualified Purchase

You earn Commission only on Qualified Purchases. A purchase is a «Qualified Purchase» when a customer:

1. Registers through your Affiliate Link or is attributed under Program rules;
2. Completes their trial and makes their first subscription payment;
3. Maintains their account in good standing; and
4. Meets this Agreement and Program Policies.

No Commission is earned on: free trial periods, subscriptions cancelled before first payment, users who already had an active subscription before attribution, users already attributed to another affiliate, or self-referrals.

4.2 Attribution

• Attribution follows a first-write-wins model: the first affiliate to validly attribute a user keeps that referral.
• The referral cookie lasts 60 days.
• Self-referrals are not allowed (same account or same email).
• Arbicars makes final attribution decisions when tracking data conflicts.

4.3 Rate and duration

• Commission is calculated on the Tax Base (VAT-exclusive).
• The rate is locked per accrual (not retroactive when you move up a tier).
• Commissions accrue for 12 months from the referral's first payment.
• If the referral cancels, you stop earning on future payments from that customer.

4.4 Hold, threshold, and payouts

• 30-day hold from accrual.
• Minimum payout threshold: €50 (accumulated tax base).
• Monthly payouts via Stripe Connect Express.
• To get paid you need current contact details, an active Stripe Connect account, and complete tax information.

4.5 Taxes and clawbacks

You are responsible for taxes on your Commissions. No Commission is paid on fraudulent or unlawful sales. If already paid, Arbicars may offset against future Commissions, including refunds and chargebacks.

4.6 «Bring 3, get yours free» promotion

Arbicars may offer, temporarily or on an ongoing basis, a promotion under which an Affiliate on the Pro or Max plan can receive their own subscription to that same plan at no subscription charge by referring valid customers.

• To unlock the benefit you must be subscribed to the matching plan (Pro or Max) and accumulate 3 referrals attributed to you on the same plan.
• Only referrals with an active, paid subscription count at the time the benefit is granted and while it remains in effect. If a referral cancels, stops paying, or no longer has an active subscription, they stop counting toward the promotion.
• The discount is applied to your Arbicars subscription via a Stripe coupon. Arbicars may withdraw the benefit if you no longer meet the requirements (e.g. plan downgrade, fewer than 3 active referrals, or suspension of your affiliate account).
• This promotion does not replace Commissions under Section 4.3: you may still earn Commissions on referrals under the general Program rules.
• Arbicars may modify, suspend, or end the promotion with reasonable notice. Benefits already granted are governed by the terms in effect at grant time, unless you subsequently breach them.

5. Confidentiality

You may only use non-public information received from Arbicars to participate in the Program. Upon termination, you must delete or return such information.

6. Intellectual property

Arbicars grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use its marks and assets per the Marketing Kit. You may not modify logos or imply you are an official Arbicars employee or representative.

You grant us permission to use your name, image, and Program-related content for Arbicars marketing, without selling that content as a standalone product.

7. Term and termination

• Either party may terminate without cause with 30 days written notice to info@arbicars.es.
• Arbicars may suspend or terminate immediately for material breach, misuse of marks, or conduct harming its reputation.
• On termination for cause, you forfeit unpaid Commissions and must stop using your Link and Arbicars marks.

8. Indemnification and limitation

You will indemnify Arbicars against claims arising from your breach, marketing activities, or data handling.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Arbicars' total liability is limited to the lower of: (a) three times Commissions paid or payable in the month before the claim, or (b) €1,500.

9. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by Spanish law. The parties submit to the courts of Madrid, Spain, unless mandatory jurisdiction applies.

10. General

• We may update this Agreement; we will notify you of material changes.
• This Agreement is non-exclusive: you may promote other products.
• You may not assign this Agreement without prior written consent.
• The English version is provided for convenience; the Spanish version prevails in case of conflict.
