THE OWLBRYTE ACADEMY PARTNER CONTRACT
Owlbryte Academy Partner Program Terms · Version 2.2 · Effective February 23, 2025
The short version: share your link honestly, and say that you earn when you do. A family you send saves $50, and you earn $50 once that family has actually paid. Rewards are paid by PayPal after a hold. Never use your own link for your own household. No coupon sites, and no ads on our name. Fraud forfeits rewards and ends the partnership. The seal is at the bottom, and the agree box unlocks when you reach it.
1. Who can become a partner?
You must be 18 or over, give accurate details on your application, and wait for our approval before you describe yourself as an Owlbryte partner. We allow one partner account per person. We read every application by hand, and we may decline it or ask you questions first. This is a children’s brand, and our name travels wherever your link goes.
Ordinary parent referrals do not need an application. They follow the Terms of Service and the timetable in section 5. Teachers and school staff use the classroom route in section 7.
Exclusivity. Approval does not give you exclusive rights over a town, a school, a group or an audience. If we agree to make you the only partner for a particular community, we say so in your approval email and name the community, the period, and any conditions. Only that written statement creates exclusivity.
2. What do I receive?
Approved partners receive a personal referral link, and one free family code that opens the full academy for your own children so you can speak from experience. The family code is a one-off gift with lifetime access. It is not a recurring supply of codes.
Under the standard offer, a new family gets $50 off its first paid purchase through your link, and you earn $50 for that family. A family means one parent account and the children in its household. Later sibling purchases or upgrades by the same family do not earn another reward. There is no limit on how many different families you may refer.
You do not have to buy access, and you do not have to promise a positive review. We do not guarantee any level of earnings, clicks or sign-ups.
3. How is a referral credited?
The first eligible referral link a family opens starts a 60-day window. The family must create its account during that window for the referral to be saved. Opening another partner’s link during the window does not replace the first referral. If the window runs out with no sign-up, a new eligible link can start a new window.
Once the referral is saved at sign-up, it stays with that account until its first qualifying paid purchase, even if that purchase is more than 60 days later. Later links do not replace it. An account that was created without a referral cannot add one afterwards.
Before sign-up, tracking depends on the family’s browser remembering the referral. A family using another device should open your link on that device before creating the account. Once the referral is saved to the account, it follows that account across devices. Clearing or blocking cookies, or creating an account without using the link, can stop the credit being recorded.
If something looks wrong, tell us before the family pays. We check the records we hold, but we cannot promise credit for a referral that was never recorded. Your link stays active for as long as you remain a partner.
4. Which purchases earn a reward?
A qualifying purchase is the first paid academy purchase by a new family credited to you. It must follow this agreement, and it must not be refunded, cancelled, charged back or otherwise reversed.
The $50 referral discount can be used alongside standard sibling pricing. It cannot be combined with any other promotion: checkout applies whichever single offer saves the family the most. A purchase made with a different promotion does not earn a referral reward, although we keep its recorded referral source for reporting. We may pause referral discounts during a public promotion, and a reward never exceeds the amount the family actually paid.
You cannot earn a reward, or use your referral discount, for your own household. That includes your own account, an account opened by your spouse or partner or anyone at your address, and any purchase made with your payment method. Duplicate accounts, or accounts created to repeat a first-purchase reward, do not qualify.
5. When will I be paid?
You earn nothing until the family you sent has actually paid. A free account, time spent in the free Multiplication realm, or a sign-up that never becomes a purchase earns you nothing at all. The reward appears in your dashboard as pending on the day the family pays, and the waiting period starts on that payment date, not on the day they opened a free account.
- Parent referral: the reward clears 30 days after the purchase, then goes out in the next monthly PayPal payout.
- Approved partner: the reward clears 45 days after the purchase, then goes out in the next monthly PayPal payout. The longer hold covers chargebacks, which arrive later than refunds.
The minimum payout is $50. Because every reward is $50, one cleared referral already meets it, so in normal use this floor never delays you. It only matters for a small leftover balance, for example when a refund or a chargeback has been deducted from what you were owed and a few dollars remain. Anything below $50 stays in your account and rolls into your next payment. It is never lost, and section 8 explains how you are paid it when the partnership ends.
Give us a working PayPal address and any tax information the law requires. PayPal may deduct its own fees. A waiting period ending does not mean the money arrives that day, because payment providers add their own processing time.
A later refund, chargeback or other reversal cancels the related reward, even if we have already paid it. We deduct that amount from future rewards and show the adjustment in your dashboard. If a payout is being checked for suspected misuse, we may hold the affected amount while we look into it.
You are responsible for any tax on your rewards. Partners in the United States must give us a completed Form W-9 before their payouts reach the IRS reporting threshold, and we issue a Form 1099 when the law requires it. Partners outside the United States may be asked for a W-8 form.
6. How should I recommend Owlbryte?
Do I have to say that I earn something? Yes, and it is not optional. If you earn anything, whether that is commission, free product, or anything else of value, say so in the post itself, not in a bio or behind a “more” link. Plain wording is best: “I earn a commission if you buy through my link.” Being upfront also converts better. People mind being sold to far less than they mind being sold to quietly.
Put the disclosure with each recommendation, where people see it before they act. When you recommend Owlbryte in a video, include the disclosure in the video itself, and repeat it during a live stream. Follow the disclosure laws of the country you are in.
Be honest about what you have tried and the results you have seen. Do not promise grades, speed, confidence or earnings that you cannot support.
Recommend us to parents and adult educators. Do not collect children’s information for referrals, and do not contact children to make a sale. Follow the rules of every group, platform, school and advertising channel you use.
Do not use spam, fake accounts, misleading reviews, paid-for reviews, unauthorised tracking, coupon sites, deal sites, browser extensions, or ads bidding on the Owlbryte name or our brand terms. Do not make a page or a domain look like Owlbryte’s official website. Do not hand your link to other people to promote for you.
You may use our approved marketing materials while you are a partner. Do not alter diplomas or Great Hall records, do not claim to speak for us, and do not use our materials in misleading ways. Keep anything non-public that we share with you, such as an upcoming offer, confidential.
7. How do classroom partnerships work?
Teachers and school staff use the classroom route. We do not pay cash rewards to school staff for referring their own students, or those students’ families. That covers current staff, contractors, and anyone who left the role within the last 12 months.
Approval includes a classroom code for one school term. Your approval states the number of child places, the start date and the expiry date. Parents create and manage their own accounts. Do not send us class lists, children’s personal details, or parent login information.
Classroom access never depends on families buying anything later. When the free period ends, a parent can choose whether to buy continued access, and there is no automatic charge. The free Multiplication realm stays available to everyone.
8. Can the partnership or the rules change?
Either of us can end the partnership at any time by email. Once it ends, stop using the referral link and stop presenting yourself as an active Owlbryte partner.
Rewards from qualifying purchases made before the end date still clear their waiting period, and we still pay them. For that final payment we pay any positive cleared balance, even if it is below the $50 minimum, so nothing is left stranded in your account. Purchases made after the end date do not earn new rewards. Ending the partnership does not reverse a completed gift of family access.
We may suspend a partnership while we check suspected misuse. If misuse is confirmed, we may cancel the affected unpaid rewards and end the partnership. Legitimate rewards remain payable, under the normal reversal rules above.
We email you at least 14 days before an important change, including a change to rewards or to which purchases qualify. Changes apply to future purchases, never to rewards you have already earned. You can end the partnership if you do not want to continue under the new rules. Continuing to share your link after the notice period means you accept them.
9. What else should I know?
You are an independent partner. You are not an employee, an agent or a franchisee of Owlbryte, and you cannot make promises or contracts on our behalf. You are responsible for your own channels, and for following the law where you operate.
Where the law allows, our total liability under this agreement is limited to the rewards you have earned but have not yet been paid. This does not exclude any responsibility that the law does not allow us to exclude.
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. Disputes are handled in the state or federal courts of Contra Costa County, California, except where the law requires otherwise. If one clause cannot be enforced, the rest of the agreement still applies. If Owlbryte Academy is transferred to a new owner, this agreement transfers with it.
Your electronic signature. Reading this agreement, ticking the acceptance box, and submitting your application is your electronic signature under the US E-SIGN Act. We record your name, your email, the date and time, the agreement version, and a fingerprint of this exact text, and we email you a copy. Your partnership begins only when we approve it.
