DBate Influencer Partnership Agreement

1. Purpose

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a promotional partnership in which the Partner promotes the DBate mobile application in exchange for a performance-based revenue share.

This Agreement does not create an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.

2. Independent Contractor Relationship

Partner is an independent contractor and is not an employee of the Company.

Partner is not entitled to:

• wages or salary
• employee benefits
• equity or ownership
• guaranteed compensation

All earnings are performance-based only.

3. Role & Responsibilities

Partner agrees to:

• Create original short-form content promoting DBate
• Share a unique affiliate referral link provided by the Company
• Represent DBate accurately and in good faith
• Encourage genuine and authentic user engagement

There is no required minimum number of posts.

Earnings are directly tied to performance and user activity generated through Partner's promotional efforts.

4. Content Guidelines

All promotional content must:

• Be respectful and appropriate
• Avoid hate speech, harassment, or discrimination
• Avoid misinformation or deceptive claims
• Align with DBate's mission and values

DBate promotes:

• respectful discourse
• curiosity over conflict
• freedom of thought
• community-first discussion
• integrity and accountability

The Company reserves the right to remove Partners who materially violate these principles.

5. Use of Content Formats

Partner is permitted and encouraged to:

• Use trending short-form content formats
• Adapt proven content structures
• Recreate general concepts with a DBate-specific approach

Direct copying of other creators' content is not permitted.

The Company may optionally provide templates, examples, or guidance.

6. Affiliate Tracking & Attribution

• Partner will receive a unique referral link
• Users who sign up through this link will be attributed to Partner when technically possible
• Attribution applies for up to two (2) months from a user's registration date
• The Company uses internal tracking systems to attribute referrals

Because tracking may be affected by device settings, privacy restrictions, or platform limitations, attribution cannot be guaranteed in every instance.

If Partner reasonably believes legitimate referrals were not properly tracked, the Company may, at its discretion, manually review and adjust attribution in good faith.

7. Revenue Share Structure

Partner earns 50% of net revenue generated by users attributed to their referral link during the applicable attribution period.

Net revenue is defined as: revenue actually received by the Company after payment processing fees (such as Stripe fees).

The Company does not deduct internal operating expenses, salaries, or unrelated business costs when calculating Partner earnings.

Revenue calculations are determined using the Company's internal records.

8. Payments

• Payouts occur monthly
• Minimum payout threshold: $25
• Earnings below the threshold roll over to the following month
• Payments are made via the method designated by the Company

No guaranteed earnings are implied.

9. Reporting & Transparency

During early program stages, earnings summaries may be provided through screenshots or written payout statements.

A dedicated affiliate dashboard may be introduced in the future but is not guaranteed at this time.

10. Content Usage Rights

Partner grants the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to:

• repost Partner content
• use content in advertisements
• publish content on Company-owned platforms
• use content for marketing and promotional purposes

These rights survive termination of this Agreement.

11. Term & Attribution Period

• This Agreement does not automatically renew
• Continued participation may be offered at the Company's discretion

12. Termination
