Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
These terms explain how the Be Filing Affiliate Program works, how commission is earned and paid, and the rules for promoting Be Filing.
1Agreement
These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") form an agreement between Be Filing Inc ("Be Filing", "we", "us") and the person or business that applies to the Be Filing Affiliate Program ("you", the "Affiliate"). By submitting an application or sharing a referral link, you accept these Terms.
These Terms apply together with the Be Filing Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict about the Affiliate Program, these Terms take priority.

3Referral links and tracking
After approval you receive a personal referral link or code. A referral is attributed to you when a new customer reaches Be Filing through your link and places an order within the cookie window of number of days to be confirmed.
Tracking depends on cookies and similar technology. We are not responsible for referrals that cannot be tracked because a visitor blocks cookies, uses another device or follows a different link. Our records are the basis for all commission calculations.

5Commission
For each qualified referral you earn commission based on the service the referred customer orders. The current rates are rates per service to be confirmed and are calculated on the Be Filing service fee actually received.
Commission is not earned on government fees, state fees, registered agent fees charged by third parties, shipping, taxes, or any amount that is refunded. We may run special rates or campaigns, which will be confirmed to you in writing.
6Payouts
Commission becomes approved after the refund period for the order has passed. Approved commission is paid payout schedule to be confirmed once your approved balance reaches the minimum payout of amount to be confirmed.
Approved commission is added to your Be Filing portal account balance. You may use the balance for future Be Filing services or ask to receive it by bank transfer. You are responsible for giving us correct payout details and for any fees charged by your bank or payment provider. Balances below the minimum are carried forward.
7Refunds and reversals
If an order is refunded, cancelled or charged back after commission was credited or paid, we may deduct that commission from your balance or from future payouts.
