Thank you for considering the DocuClipper affiliate program. Our affiliates are very important to us. This agreement is designed to protect both you and DocuClipper, while fostering a transparent and rewarding relationship. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@docuclipper.com.
Affiliate Agreement
This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the DocuClipper affiliate program. In this agreement, “Affiliate” refers to you (the applicant), and “DocuClipper” refers to Grand Plans, LLC (DBA DocuClipper), a Delaware Corporation. By applying to the DocuClipper affiliate program, you confirm that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
Commission Structures
There are two types of affiliate commission structures available through DocuClipper: one-time and recurring.
Commissions
To generate a commission, a referred customer must click through a qualified affiliate link and complete a purchase with full payment. Commissions are only awarded for transactions made via properly structured affiliate links. It is the sole responsibility of the affiliate to ensure that links are formatted correctly.
Affiliates on recurring plans will continue to earn commissions on each paid transaction by the referred customer for as long as they remain a paying customer, up to one year from the initial signup.
Cookie Duration
Referrals are tracked via cookies for a period of 30 days. If a customer completes a purchase within 30 days of clicking the affiliate link, the affiliate will receive credit for the sale. After 30 days, the referral will no longer be attributed to the affiliate.
Payment
- Commissions are paid via PayPal on a monthly basis, within 30 days of the end of each month.
- A minimum payout threshold of $25 USD applies. Balances below $25 will roll over to the next payout cycle.
- U.S.-based affiliates who earn over $600 in a calendar year will be required to submit a completed IRS Form W-9 before further payments can be issued.
Refunds
If a customer requests a refund for a transaction that generated a commission, the corresponding commission amount will be deducted from the affiliate’s balance.
Usage and Obligations
- Affiliates may use approved DocuClipper brand assets and marketing materials made available in the affiliate section of the platform.
- Logos, graphics, and other materials may not be modified.
- Affiliates do not gain any trademark, copyright, or ownership rights over any DocuClipper intellectual property.
- Affiliates may not represent themselves as acting on behalf of DocuClipper or claim to be an employee or agent.

- Affiliates may not use unsolicited bulk email (spam) that includes references to DocuClipper.
- Affiliates may not promote DocuClipper on websites or channels containing illegal content, hate speech, pornography, or deceptive marketing.
Self-Referrals
Affiliates may not use their own affiliate links to purchase DocuClipper products for personal use. Self-referrals are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal from the program and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.
Independent Contractor Relationship
Affiliates are considered independent contractors. This agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between the affiliate and DocuClipper.
Term and Termination
- Either party may terminate this agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately.
