Share Saavo. Understand every step.

• You need an active Saavo account with a verified email address.
• Participation is optional. You enable Affiliate from your Account page.
• After activation, your account receives a unique path-based link in the form /ref/code.
• We may pause an Affiliate account independently of ordinary account access. A paused Affiliate cannot create new valid attributions or earn new commission records.

When a signed-out visitor follows a valid referral link, we store the referral code in the first-party HTTP-only saavo_affiliate_referral session cookie after confirming that the referring Affiliate is active. An inactive, missing, or malformed referral does not set the cookie. The first valid active code wins for that browser session, so later referral links do not overwrite it.

• Opening or closing a tab does not clear the cookie.
• A complete browser shutdown normally clears it, although some browsers may restore session cookies with a restored session.
• Visits made while signed in do not set a referral cookie and are not included in referral traffic statistics.
• Attribution is accepted at account creation only when the referring Affiliate account is active at that time.
• Referral attribution is assigned only when a new account is created. An existing account cannot be assigned or reassigned by following another referral link, whether signed in or signed out.
• Purchases use the referral relationship already stored on the customer account. A later link visit does not change which Affiliate, if any, receives commission credit.
• The cookie is cleared after successful account creation.

See the Cookie Policy for the complete browser-storage list.

A referred account can produce commission records only while its referral status remains eligible and the referring Affiliate is active. A purchase must match a Product and Plan explicitly listed in the current Affiliate configuration. Unconfigured products do not earn commission.

One commission snapshot is associated with each qualifying transaction item. Provider updates can refresh payment status, quantity, discount, tax, total, currency, and availability, while the original Product, Plan, Affiliate, and calculation policy stay attached to that record. If the underlying transaction item is removed, its commission record is excluded from calculations.

Percentage policies may use the amount before discounts and tax, the amount after discounts but before tax, or the final total including tax. Fixed policies use the configured amount and currency. The applicable basis is shown above.

Two different controls are intentionally kept separate:

• A referred account can be marked excluded. This prevents its future transactions from creating new commission records but does not automatically rewrite its existing history.
• An individual commission record can be marked valid, refunded, or invalid. That status controls whether the historical record contributes to valid, refunded, or invalid totals.

Refund and fraud decisions are reviewed by an administrator and may include a reason and review date. We may invalidate commission, exclude a referred account from future commission, or pause an Affiliate account when activity is refunded, duplicated, misleading, automated, self-referred, collusive, or otherwise abusive.

Monthly payout calculations can be refreshed as payment or review data changes. Automatically recalculated totals do not overwrite the administrator-recorded payment status or actual amount. The actual paid amount may therefore differ from the latest estimate.

Before payment, the Affiliate must provide a receiving account, legal name, complete address, state or province, postal code, and country or region. Company profiles also require a company name. Address line 2, VAT ID, and Tax ID are optional when they do not apply. These details are encrypted before database storage, and viewing or changing them requires recent identity verification.

When first-party Analytics is enabled, Account can show total referral-link clicks, unique visitors, and a 30-day click trend. The total covers the Analytics raw-data retention window, not necessarily the entire lifetime of the Affiliate account.

Only signed-out visits through a valid referral link for an active Affiliate are eligible for these traffic statistics. Signed-in visits are excluded because an existing account cannot create a new referral attribution. Traffic figures describe link activity only and do not create, replace, or prove a commission relationship.

If Analytics collection is disabled, the traffic module is not shown and referral clicks are not recorded as Analytics events. Referral attribution can still work because it is handled by the separate referral cookie flow.

The following channels are permitted only when the Affiliate controls the placement, presents Saavo accurately, clearly discloses the Affiliate relationship where required, and follows the applicable platform rules and law.

We may review unusual click, registration, payment, or refund patterns; invalidate affected commission; exclude a referred account from future commission; pause an Affiliate account; and preserve relevant records for audit and payout reconciliation.

Product eligibility, commission rates, calculation bases, subscription payment limits, review intervals, and program availability may change for future activity. Existing commission records retain their stored calculation-policy snapshot, while current subscription limits are applied when totals are refreshed.
