Affiliate Programme
Affiliate Programme Terms & Privacy Notice
This page governs participation in the Coursus.io Affiliate Programme specifically. It supplements — and does not replace — coursus.io's general site-wide Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, published separately.
Affiliate Programme Terms
1. Acceptance
By registering as a Coursus.io affiliate, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not register or use your affiliate link.
2. The Programme
The programme covers three product tiers, each with its own commission structure:
- Tier 1 — Learn on the Fly: 30% commission per sale. Open to any affiliate, no application required.
- Tier 2 — Premium Cohorts: 25% commission, calculated on the net enrolment price after any discount. Requires application and approval.
- Tier 3 — Corporate AI Training: introduction-fee model, paid once a referred lead becomes a signed client. Fee amount to be confirmed; requires approval.
3. Attribution
Referrals are tracked via a 30-day cookie window from the point a visitor clicks your affiliate link. If a customer clicks links from more than one affiliate, credit goes to the most recent (last-touch) referral prior to purchase.
4. Payments
- Minimum payout threshold: $50. Balances below this roll over to the next payout cycle.
- Payouts are issued monthly via PayPal or bank transfer.
- You are responsible for reporting and paying any tax owed on commissions earned under this programme in your own jurisdiction. Coursus.io does not withhold tax on your behalf.
5. Refunds and Clawbacks
If a referred purchase is refunded within the applicable course's refund window, the associated commission will be reversed and deducted from your next payout.
6. Prohibited Conduct
The following are not permitted and may result in commission forfeiture and/or removal from the programme:
- Use of bots, cookie-stuffing, or any automated/fraudulent traffic generation
- Incentivized clicking or paying third parties to click your link without genuine intent to purchase
- Bidding on "Coursus" or "Coursus.io" brand terms in paid search advertising
- False, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about course outcomes, income potential, or results
- Spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, or promotion on platforms that prohibit affiliate links
7. Eligibility and Approval
Tier 1 access is granted automatically on registration. Tier 2 and Tier 3 access require an application and are granted at Coursus.io's discretion, typically after demonstrated genuine Tier 1 referral activity. Approval may be revoked at any time for violation of these terms.
8. Term and Termination
Either party may end the affiliate relationship at any time. Commissions properly earned prior to termination will be paid on the normal schedule, except where termination is due to fraud or a violation of Section 6, in which case unpaid commissions may be forfeited.
9. Changes to the Programme
Coursus.io may update commission rates, payout thresholds, or these terms from time to time. Changes apply prospectively and will not retroactively reduce commissions already earned on completed sales.
10. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
