Promoter terms

Plain words, because you should know exactly what you're signing up for. Last updated November 13, 2026.

What you earn

30% of every payment made by each customer you send, for as long as they stay a paying customer and you remain a promoter in good standing. For schools it's 15%. "Payment" means what the customer actually paid us after discounts and credits, not counting tax. If a church or school pays for families on its plan, you earn on what the church or school pays.

Who counts as your customer

• Someone who signs up within 90 days of tapping your link, on the same device and browser, or
• Someone who types your code when they sign up. A typed code beats a link if the two are different promoters.
• A customer belongs to the first promoter who sent them, for good. Your own accounts, and accounts of people in your household, never earn a commission.

When you're paid

Each payment is held for 30 days, the window for refunds and card disputes. After that it's ready to pay. Once you have $25 or more ready, we pay you automatically, once a month, through Stripe to your bank. Less than $25 rolls over to the next month. To be paid you set up a free Stripe account from your promoter page; Stripe collects your tax details and issues a 1099 when the IRS requires one. Stripe's payouts are in US dollars to a US bank account.

Refunds and chargebacks

If a customer is refunded or disputes a charge, we take back your share of that payment. If it was already paid to you, it's taken from your Stripe balance or from your next payout. If a dispute is later decided in our favor, your share comes back.

How to promote us

• Tell your audience you earn a commission, as the FTC requires. Something like "I earn a commission if you sign up through my link" is enough, said or written close to the link.
• Describe Sheepdog Filter honestly. Don't promise it blocks everything, that it can't be got around, or that it watches what people do. It blocks sites; it doesn't record screens.
• Don't buy search ads on "Sheepdog Filter" or anything like it, don't post your link on coupon or deal sites, and don't send spam.
• Don't pretend to be us, or offer discounts we haven't agreed.
• You may use our name, logo and the sheepdog art from your promoter page to talk about Sheepdog Filter, and nothing else.

Approval and ending

We approve every promoter ourselves and may say no without giving a reason. Either of us can end this at any time. If you leave, or we end it for a reason other than breaking these terms, we still pay what you earned on payments made before it ended. If these terms are broken (for example fake sign-ups, self-referral or spam), we may withhold unpaid earnings and end the arrangement.

Changes

We'll email you at least 30 days before any change to your rate or these terms. Changes only affect payments made after they start.

The rest

You're an independent promoter, not our employee or agent. These terms are between you and Sheepdog Filter. Questions: hello@sheepdogfilter.com.
