HookMyApp Affiliate Program Terms

Last updated: 2026-05-11

These terms govern your participation in the HookMyApp Affiliate Program. By signing up at affiliates.hookmyapp.com, you agree to these terms.

Commissions

You earn 20% recurring commission on every payment a customer you referred makes to HookMyApp, for the lifetime of their subscription. Commission is computed on the net charged amount after coupon discounts, excluding sales tax and VAT collected by Stripe.

Program Rules (Required)

The following rules apply to all affiliates and master affiliates:

  1. No payment for affiliate signup alone. Commissions are earned only when a referred customer pays HookMyApp. Recruiting other affiliates does not generate income on its own; only their recruits' real customer sales do.
  2. No recruitment-income claims. You may not represent the program as a way to earn money by recruiting. The program is a customer referral program with a bounded recruitment override, not a multi-level marketing scheme.
  3. No self-referrals. You cannot refer yourself, your own HookMyApp account, or accounts you control. Detected self-referrals are voided and any associated commissions clawed back.
  4. No brand-bidding. You may not run paid search ads on HookMyApp brand keywords (including "hookmyapp", "hook my app", and common misspellings). Brand-bidding cannibalizes our paid search and inflates commissions on traffic we would convert anyway.
  5. No incentivized clicks or cookie-stuffing. You may not pay users to click affiliate links, auto-load links in iframes, or use any technique that drops attribution cookies without a deliberate user action.
  6. Commissions only on legitimate paying customer revenue. Refunds, chargebacks, fraud, and trial-only signups do not generate commission. We reserve the right to claw back commissions on revenue we lose post-payout.

Rate Changes

If we change commission rates, override modes, or lifetime duration, the change applies only to new referrals signed after the change date. Existing affiliates' lifetime referrals continue to earn at the rate in effect when each customer was referred. We will not retroactively change economics on existing lifetime referrals.

Tax Withholding

If your cumulative annual payout reaches $600 or more, you must submit a W-9 (US persons) or W-8BEN (non-US persons) tax form inside the affiliate dashboard before your next payout is approved. We notify you when you reach 80% of the threshold so you can submit before payouts are blocked.

Payouts

Payouts are issued Net-30 from the end of each calendar month, with a $50 minimum (smaller balances roll forward). Available rails:

You select your preferred rail at signup and can change it later.

Termination

We may end any affiliate's participation at any time for violation of these terms or fraud. Earned commissions through the termination date are paid out on the next scheduled cycle, subject to the clawback window.

Tax Liability

You are responsible for any taxes owed in your jurisdiction on commission income. We do not provide tax advice. The forms collected in the Tax Withholding section above support our reporting obligations only.
