KOUBOO Affiliate Program Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

1. Agreement and acceptance

These Terms of Use (the "Agreement") govern participation in the KOUBOO Affiliate Program (the "Program") operated by "KOUBOO". By applying to or participating in the Program, you ("Affiliate”) agree to this Agreement, KOUBOO's Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and any rules of the affiliate network we use (“Shopify Collabs”). If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it.

2. Definitions

Site: KOUBOO's own website at kouboo.com. The Site does not include any third-party marketplace.

Affiliate Link: the unique tracking link or code we provide to identify traffic you refer.

Qualifying Purchase: an order for physical products placed on the Site by a new or returning customer within the Cookie Window after clicking your Affiliate Link, that is paid in full, shipped, and not returned, cancelled or charged back.

Net Sales: the product price actually paid, excluding sales tax, gift cards, shipping fees (if any), discounts, refunds, returns, cancellations, chargebacks and fraudulent orders.

Cookie Window: 30 days from the last click on your Affiliate Link.

Brand Assets: KOUBOO's names, logos, product images, copy and other materials we approve for your use.

3. Enrollment and eligibility

• You must submit a complete, accurate application. We may accept or reject any application at our sole discretion, without explanation.
• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract.
• Your website, social channels or other properties must be active, lawful and consistent with a refined home and lifestyle brand. We will not accept properties that contain adult, violent, hateful, discriminatory or illegal content, or that infringe others' rights.
• You may not enroll if you are a KOUBOO employee, contractor, or an immediate family member of one.
• You must keep your account information current, including payment and tax details.

4. Affiliate Links and tracking

• You will earn commission only on Qualifying Purchases tracked through your Affiliate Link. Our tracking records, or the records of [Network], are final.
• Affiliate Links direct only to the Site. Purchases made on Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart or any other marketplace or retailer that sells KOUBOO products are not eligible for commission, and you may not represent otherwise.
• Last-click attribution applies: if a customer clicks another affiliate's link after yours, the later click receives credit.
• We are not responsible for lost tracking caused by browser settings, ad blockers, cookie deletion, cross-device purchases, or link modification.
• You may not alter, shorten through unapproved services, or cloak Affiliate Links in ways that hide the destination.

5. Commissions

Rate. You will earn 10% of Net Sales on each Qualifying Purchase. We may offer different rates for specific products, campaigns or top-performing affiliates in writing.

Exclusions. No commission is earned on: orders placed through the KOUBOO Trade Program or other wholesale, hospitality or B2B accounts; orders placed by you or for your own use; gift card purchases; orders placed by phone or email unless tracked; or orders that are returned, cancelled, refunded or charged back.

Return period. Commissions are pending until the order's return period of 30 days has passed. Commissions on orders later refunded may be reversed or deducted from future payments.

Fraud and violations. We may withhold or reverse any commission earned through fraud, a breach of this Agreement, or activity we reasonably believe is invalid.

Changes. We may change commission rates or structures with at least [14] days' notice. Your continued participation after the effective date means you accept the change.

6. Payment

• Approved commissions are paid monthly, within 30 days after the end of the month in which the return period closes.
• Balances under $50 may roll over to the next payment period.
• You must provide a valid IRS Form W-9 (or W-8 for non-US affiliates) before payment. You are responsible for all taxes on your earnings.
• Payment disputes must be raised in writing within [60] days of the payment date, or the payment is final.
• You are an independent contractor and receive no salary, benefits or reimbursement of expenses.

7. How you may promote KOUBOO

You may promote the Site through your own website, blog, newsletter and social media accounts, using approved Brand Assets and honest, accurate descriptions. When promoting, you agree to:

• Describe products accurately. KOUBOO pieces are handmade from natural materials, so color, size, weave and texture vary from piece to piece; do not promise an exact match to photos.
• Use current pricing and offers only. Do not state prices, discounts or availability that may be outdated, and do not invent promotions.
• Present free shipping only as KOUBOO currently offers it.
• Reflect KOUBOO's brand: relaxed, sophisticated and design-literate. Avoid hard-sell urgency, false scarcity, and gimmicky or misleading claims.
• Describe sustainability, sourcing and KOUBOO's microcredit program only in terms KOUBOO has published, without exaggeration.
• Comply with all applicable laws, platform rules and the rules of [Network].

8. Prohibited activities

You may not, and may not allow others to:

• Bid on, or use in paid search ads, display URLs or domain names, the terms "KOUBOO" or any misspelling or variation of it, or our product names combined with our brand.
• Register or use domains, social handles or app names that contain "KOUBOO" or are confusingly similar.
• Post or distribute coupon or discount codes that KOUBOO has not specifically issued to you, or list KOUBOO on coupon, cashback, loyalty or deal sites without written approval.
• Send unsolicited email, texts or messages (spam), or violate CAN-SPAM, the TCPA or similar laws.
• Use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, pop-ups or pop-unders, browser extensions, iframes, toolbars or any method that sets a tracking cookie without a genuine click.
• Generate clicks or purchases through bots, incentivized clicks, paid traffic farms or other fraud.
• Make purchases through your own Affiliate Link for yourself or on behalf of others.
• Imply you are KOUBOO, an employee, or an official partner beyond affiliate status, or create sites that imitate the Site.
• Make false or unsupported claims about products, including health, safety, durability or environmental claims.
• Promote KOUBOO alongside content that is illegal, adult, hateful, violent, or otherwise harmful to the brand.

9. Use of Brand Assets

• We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Brand Assets solely to promote the Site under this Agreement.
• Do not alter, crop in a misleading way, combine with other marks, or reproduce Brand Assets beyond what is needed to promote the Site.
• Product photos remain our property or our licensors'. Do not resell or license them, or use them to sell products from anyone else.
• We may ask you to update or remove any Brand Asset or content at any time, and you will do so within [5] business days.

10. Disclosure requirements

• You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship with KOUBOO wherever you promote our products, as required by the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and similar laws.
• Disclosures must appear before or next to the Affiliate Link or recommendation, not only in a footer, "About" page or hashtag list. Plain language works best, for example: "I earn a commission if you buy through this link."
• On video and social platforms, use the platform's paid-partnership or branded-content tools where available, plus a spoken or on-screen disclosure.
• You may only share honest opinions and real experiences. If KOUBOO sends you free product, you must disclose that as well.
• You must not post fake reviews, or reviews in another person's name, on the Site or any marketplace.

11. Customer data and privacy

• Customers who buy through your link are KOUBOO's customers. You will not receive, and may not request or collect, their personal information through the Program.
• If you collect any personal data from your own audience (for example, newsletter sign-ups), you are solely responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and for posting your own privacy policy.
• Your properties must disclose the use of cookies and tracking technologies as required by law.

12. Intellectual property

KOUBOO retains all rights to the Site, Brand Assets, product designs and trademarks. You retain ownership of the original content you create, and you grant KOUBOO a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to share, link to or quote that content in connection with promoting KOUBOO, with credit to you where practical.

13. Term and termination

• This Agreement starts when we accept your application and continues until terminated.
• Either party may terminate at any time, for any reason, with written notice (email is sufficient).
• We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach this Agreement or we suspect fraud.
• On termination, you must stop using Affiliate Links and Brand Assets and remove them within 10 days. Links left active after termination earn no commission.
• If we terminate without cause, we will pay valid commissions earned before the termination date, after the return period. If we terminate for breach or fraud, unpaid commissions are forfeited.
• Sections 6.3, 9.3, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

The Program and the Site are provided "as is." KOUBOO makes no warranty that the Program or Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you will earn any particular amount. We may change, pause or discontinue the Program, any product, or any offer at any time. Product availability and prices are subject to change without notice.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, KOUBOO will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, arising from this Agreement or the Program. KOUBOO's total liability will not exceed the commissions paid or payable to you in the [6] months before the claim arose.

16. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless KOUBOO and its owners, employees and agents from any claims, losses, damages, fines and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your content, your promotional activities, your breach of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

17. General terms

Independent parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency or employment relationship. You may not make commitments on KOUBOO's behalf.

Non-exclusivity. You may join other affiliate programs, and KOUBOO may work with other affiliates.

Changes to these terms. We may update this Agreement by posting a new version or emailing you. Material changes take effect 14 days after notice; continued participation means acceptance.

Governing law.

(a) Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act.

(b) Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, a party must send the other a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days of that notice.

(c) Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Program that is not resolved informally will be settled by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. It will be heard by a single arbitrator in Orange County, California, or by video conference if the parties agree. For claims under $10,000, the arbitrator will decide on written submissions alone unless they find a hearing necessary. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment on it may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

(d) Individual claims only. Each party may bring claims only in its individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not combine claims of more than one affiliate. If this subsection is found unenforceable, subsection (c) will not apply, and the dispute will be decided in court under subsection (f).

(e) Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. KOUBOO may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in court to protect its trademarks, Brand Assets or other intellectual property, or to stop fraud.

(f) Courts. Any court action permitted under this section, including enforcement of an arbitration award, will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California. Both parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

(g) Costs and confidentiality. Each party pays its own attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitrator awards them under applicable law. Filing and arbitrator fees are allocated under the AAA rules. The arbitration and its outcome are confidential, except as needed to enforce an award or as required by law.

(h) Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent the law allows.

Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent. We may assign it to a successor or affiliate.

Entire agreement. This Agreement, with the policies referenced in it, is the entire agreement on this subject and replaces earlier understandings.

Severability and waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Notices. We will send notices to the email on your account. You may send notices to the address below.
