1. Who we are and scope
The Rekomi service (“Rekomi”, the “Service”) is operated by Uplup Inc. (“Uplup”, “we”, “us”, “our”), 382 NE 191st St, PMB 836716, Miami, FL 33179-3899, United States. These Affiliate Terms (the “Affiliate Terms”) govern your participation as an affiliate or creator. The Brand Terms govern Brands; where a matter is specific to affiliates, these Affiliate Terms control. Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, and conduct rules are in the Acceptable Use Policy.
2. Definitions
- Affiliate (or “Creator”, “you”): a person or entity that promotes a Brand’s products in exchange for commission, managed through Rekomi.
- Brand: a business that runs an affiliate program you may join.
- Customer: an end customer of a Brand whose purchase may be attributed to you.
- Commission: the gross amount a Brand agrees to pay you for a qualifying click, lead, or sale under its program.
- Payout: the disbursement of your earned, approved Commission, net of the withdrawal fee, on your payout rail.
3. Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 18 years old. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it current, to keep your credentials safe, and to be responsible for activity under your account. You may hold one affiliate account. Each affiliate chooses a referral slug that identifies them in tracking links across every Brand they promote; this slug is a public identifier and must not impersonate any Brand, trademark, person, or other user, and must not be offensive, deceptive, or unlawful. Rekomi may reset or reclaim a slug that violates this provision.
Public creator page. You may publish a creator page at rekomi.com/@handle. Once published it is public, and after review it is also listed in the creator directory that Brands browse inside Rekomi; you can unpublish it at any time, which takes the page and its directory listing offline. You are responsible for what you put on your page.
Connected social accounts. You may connect social accounts to your profile to prove you own them and to show verified audience stats. Connection uses each platform’s official sign-in, is read-only, and can be disconnected at any time from your dashboard; exactly what we read from each platform and how we use it is set out at /trust/social-permissions and in the Privacy Policy.
4. Your relationship with Brands
Rekomi provides the tools that connect you with Brands; it is not a party to the commercial relationship between you and a Brand. Each Brand sets its own program, commission terms, approval decisions, and the lawfulness of its offers. You promote a Brand’s products under that Brand’s program terms and applicable law. Disputes over whether a Commission is owed, or over a Brand’s program terms, are between you and the Brand; Rekomi does not guarantee any commission, conversion, approval, or payout outcome, and a Brand may pause or close its program.
Messaging. Brands and affiliates can message each other inside Rekomi. Messages must follow the Acceptable Use Policy; anything you and a Brand agree in a message is between you and that Brand, and Rekomi may restrict messaging for accounts that misuse it.
Country restrictions.A Brand may limit a campaign to affiliates in certain countries. If your country is not on that campaign’s list you cannot apply to it, and the signup page tells you so; a Brand may change the list for future applicants at any time.
5. How you get paid
For payout runs it facilitates, Rekomi disburses on the Brand’s behalf: the Brand funds the payout run, and Rekomi pays your Payout to you on the Brand’s behalf; Rekomi is the payer of record for tax purposes (see Section 7). Rekomi deducts its platform fee from the Brand (it does not reduce your earnings beyond the withdrawal fee described below) and pays you the net of your Commission after the withdrawal fee. Rekomi is not a bank or money transmitter, does not hold funds on your behalf beyond the brief period needed to settle a run, and does not guarantee the timing or success of any transfer, which depends on the payment provider and your receiving institution.
Payout rail. Your rail is determined by your payout country, not chosen by hand: Stripe Express for supported countries (including the United States), bank deposit through Stripe Global Payouts for a further set of countries, PayPal for other supported countries, or manual arrangement where none of these is available. See Supported countries. Stripe locks your account country when you create your Stripe Express account.
Withdrawal fee. Payouts are subject to a standard withdrawal fee that covers the conventional cost of moving money to you, and it follows your payout rail: on the Stripe Express rail, a flat $2.25 plus 0.25% of the payout; on the bank-deposit rail, the exact processor cost of the international transfer ($1.50 plus a destination-dependent percentage, shown per country in the payout countries documentation); on the PayPal rail, 2% of the amount sent, capped at $20. On the Stripe Express rail the fixed component is charged at most once per calendar month per affiliate (a second payout in the same month carries only the percentage), and Rekomi takes no margin on the withdrawal fee. The fee is deducted from your Commission, so your net Payout is your Commission minus the withdrawal fee. Minimum payout thresholds and a Brand’s approval or refund hold may apply before a Commission becomes payable.
Currency and FX.Commissions and Payouts are denominated in the Brand’s settlement currency (usually USD). Commissions you earn in another currency are converted into U.S. dollars when a Payout runs, at the most recent published mid-market reference rate available when the Payout runs (never more than seven days old); Rekomi adds no markup to that rate, and the native amount, the applied rate, and the rate’s publication date are recorded on the payout and govern the conversion. If you then receive in a different currency, the payment provider performs that further conversion (at send on the bank-deposit rail, where its at-cost percentage forms part of the disclosed withdrawal fee; on receipt on the Stripe Express and PayPal rails) and any conversion cost or spread there is borne by you, not by Rekomi or the Brand. Rekomi does not add an FX markup beyond its disclosed platform fee. Creator deal and proposal amounts may be quoted in any supported currency; the corresponding escrow funding and release settle in U.S. dollars, converted at a market exchange rate at the time the Brand funds the escrow, with the applied rate disclosed on the deal invoice.
Minimum payout and refund hold. Each Brand can set a minimum payout threshold, per campaign or across its account, and a refund-hold period during which a new Commission stays pending so refunds and chargebacks can settle. Your earnings accrue until you reach the threshold, and a Commission becomes payable only after its hold period ends. Both are shown on the campaign details page.
Coupon codes.Where a Brand enables coupons, you may be issued a coupon code tied to your account. A sale that uses your code is attributed to you even without a click on your link, on the commission terms the Brand sets for that coupon (which can differ from the campaign’s link rate or split the commission with a customer discount). A Brand may revoke a code at any time for future sales.
Sub-affiliates.Where a Brand enables it, you receive a personal recruitment link and earn an override on each affiliate you recruit into that campaign: a percentage, set by the Brand, of the recruit’s own Commission. The override is one level deep and is paid by the Brand from its own margin, so it never reduces what the recruit earns. A Brand may change or end the override for future activity.
Timing on new brands and reviewed runs. Brands that Rekomi has not yet verified fund payouts by bank transfer and their affiliate transfers are released a set number of days after the funding lands (7 days at the time of writing). A small number of payout runs are held for a review by Rekomi before any money moves; a held run pays nobody until it is approved, and a run Rekomi declines is not paid. Your payout page shows the expected date in each case, and none of this changes what you are owed by the Brand. The same applies to deal payments: a released deal payment from a Brand that Rekomi has not yet verified, or to a payout account less than seven days old, waits a holding period (7 days at the time of writing) before it goes out, the deal shows the date, and Rekomi may cancel a release and refund the Brand during that period if it has reason to believe the funding is unauthorized, fraudulent, or subject to reversal; a deal release also waits until your tax form is on file and your payout account is finished.
6. Deals and deal links
Where available, creators Rekomi has reviewed and approved may receive fixed-amount deal offers from Brands (for example, a sponsored video or a newsletter placement, optionally with an ongoing commission attached) and may create deal links stating their own terms. A deal link is your standing offer at the rate and deliverable you state in it: it can be used once, expires after 14 days, and you can revoke it any time before a Brand accepts it. Accepting a deal offer, or a Brand accepting your deal link, forms an agreement between you and that Brand to provide the described content or deliverable; you are responsible for delivering what you described and for complying with Section 11 (advertising and FTC disclosure) in the resulting content.
The Brand funds the deal amount with Rekomi up front and releases payment after confirming delivery. If the Brand takes no action within the review window after you mark the work delivered, payment is released automatically; the review window is 7 days unless the deal sets another period between 3 and 14 days, and a change request from the Brand pauses it until you resubmit. A deal may be split into milestones agreed up front, each funded, delivered, and released on its own under these same terms. You are paid through your normal Rekomi payout rail (Stripe Express, bank deposit, or PayPal, as determined under Section 5), and only the standard withdrawal fee in Section 5 applies: Rekomi takes no other fee from you on deals, ever; Rekomi’s platform fee for deals is charged to the Brand. The deal, including the content and any usage rights in it, is between you and the Brand; Rekomi is not a party to it.
Disputes.After a milestone is funded, either you or the Brand can open a dispute on it through the Service, which pauses its release. The other side has 7 days to respond; if you and the Brand do not settle it in that time, Rekomi reviews both submissions and applies a final resolution: release to you, a partial release with the balance refunded to the Brand, or a refund to the Brand. Rekomi’s deal fee, which the Brand pays, is not refunded in any outcome. Rekomi may approve or remove creators from the creator program at its discretion; removal takes any live deal links offline but does not affect payment for deals already funded. Payment for a deal formed through the Service must be made through the Service.
7. Tax forms and withholding
You are responsible for your own taxes. To be paid above applicable thresholds, you must provide valid tax information. How it is collected depends on your rail: on Stripe Express, Stripe collects and holds your form during onboarding (a W-9 for U.S. persons; a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E for non-U.S. persons); on the PayPal and bank-deposit rails, you upload your W-8 directly to Rekomi, which stores it privately. Rekomi (Uplup Inc.) is the payer of record for tax purposes: if the payouts you receive through Rekomi in a U.S. calendar year reach the IRS reporting threshold for the year ($2,000 for payments made in 2026), your 1099-NEC is issued under Rekomi’s name and delivered through Stripe in January, electronically where you have consented and otherwise by mail. Rekomi does not provide tax advice. Rekomi holds rather than withholds: without valid tax information on file, a Payout above the relevant threshold is held until you provide it. In particular, Rekomi does not disburse PayPal or bank-deposit payouts without a valid W-8 on file; absent one, your payouts are held until you provide it. A W-8 remains valid through December 31 of the third calendar year after it is signed, after which you must submit a new one. If you are paid on the PayPal or bank-deposit rail, you represent that you perform your promotional services entirely outside the United States and will notify us promptly if that changes. See Tax forms.
A valid tax form (a W-9 for U.S. persons; a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E for non-U.S. persons) must be on file before your first payout on every rail, including Stripe Express. Until it is, your balance waits; nothing is withheld and nothing is forfeited.
8. Clawback, reversals, and negative balances
A Commission is earned only on a valid, non-reversed event. If a sale is refunded, charged back, disputed, or found to be fraudulent, invalid, or in breach of these Affiliate Terms or a Brand’s program terms, the related Commission is reversed. You authorize Rekomi to reverse such Commissions, to offset them against your pending or future Payouts, and, where a Payout has already been made, to recover the amount from future Payouts or by other lawful means. If your balance becomes negative, future earnings are applied to it before any further Payout.
9. Identity verification, KYC, and AML
Because Rekomi and its payment providers move real funds to you, you may be required to verify your identity and payout details before or during payouts. You authorize Rekomi and its providers (including Stripe and, where applicable, PayPal) to collect and verify this information and to originate the transfers that pay you. Consistent with applicable anti-money-laundering law, including the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act, we or our providers may request identifying documents, and we may delay, hold, or decline a Payout, or suspend an account, where verification is incomplete or where we reasonably suspect fraud, sanctions exposure, or unlawful activity. You represent that you are not located in, resident in, or acting on behalf of a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction or person.
As part of these checks, Rekomi records the IP address and, where the fraud-prevention tag is present, a device identifier of the request that creates your affiliate account (accepting an invite or applying to a campaign), and compares them with the Brand’s own sign-up and account activity. An affiliate account that shares a device or address with the Brand paying it, that is paid on fabricated sales, or that is created to move a Brand’s own funds to itself is not a legitimate affiliate relationship; we may suspend such accounts, refuse or reverse their payouts, restrict the associated payout accounts with our providers, and block the associated identifiers. Stripe may also require identity verification on your Express account before your first transfer.
10. Acceptable use and fraud
You agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. In particular, you may not generate fake clicks, leads, conversions, or accounts; engage in cookie stuffing, forced clicks, typosquatting, trademark or brand-name bidding in violation of a Brand’s terms, or other parasiteware; refer your own purchases (self-referral) where prohibited; send spam or unlawful communications; or otherwise manipulate attribution. Rekomi screens clicks and leads for fraud and invalid traffic, including in real time and by automated means (for example, checking whether traffic originates from proxies, VPNs, anonymizers, data centers, or bots). Traffic that our screening flags as high risk may be held pending review, invalidated, or declined for payment, and a Brand may review and validate or invalidate individual activity. Commissions arising from prohibited or invalid activity are not earned and may be held, reversed, or forfeited, and we may suspend or terminate your account, including where an account shows a sustained rate of invalid traffic.
11. Advertising and FTC disclosure
You are responsible for complying with all applicable advertising, endorsement, and consumer-protection laws, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) and equivalent rules elsewhere. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to a Brand (for example, “#ad” or “sponsored”) wherever you promote, and you must not make false or misleading claims about a Brand’s products.
12. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and the Rekomi name and logos, is owned by Rekomi. Subject to these Affiliate Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service to participate in programs. You may use a Brand’s marks only as that Brand permits. You retain ownership of content you create, and you grant Rekomi a non-exclusive license to host and process it solely to provide the Service.
13. Privacy
Rekomi processes your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not sell your data and do not use it to train AI models without your explicit consent.
14. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rekomi disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that attribution will be complete, that any earnings, conversion, or approval will be achieved, or that payouts will settle by any particular time.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Rekomi’s total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Affiliate Terms is limited to the greater of the total Payouts paid to you by Rekomi in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US $100. These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
16. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rekomi and its officers, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, loss, or liability (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your promotional or advertising practices, your content, your violation of these Affiliate Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
17. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Affiliate Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, engage in fraud, or create risk or legal exposure for us; where practical and lawful, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure. On termination, your right to use the Service ends, and Commissions tied to fraudulent or reversed activity are forfeited. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including earned-but-unpaid valid Commissions, clawback, intellectual property, disclaimers, indemnification, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) survive.
18. Changes to these Affiliate Terms
We may update these Affiliate Terms from time to time. We announce material changes by email or in-app notice. The “Updated” date above reflects the current version. Continued participation after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
19. Dispute resolution and arbitration
Please contact us first at support@rekomi.com so we can try to resolve any dispute informally. If we cannot, you and Rekomi agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Affiliate Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered in Miami-Dade County, Florida under the rules of a recognized arbitration body, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information. To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis, and class, collective, or representative actions are waived. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration agreement is void for that dispute. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@rekomi.com within 30 days of first accepting these Affiliate Terms.
20. Governing law
These Affiliate Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 19, the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over Miami-Dade County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
