Programme ledger
The numbers, published. The changes, dated.
Most partner programmes hide their deal behind an application. Limelight publishes it. This page is the authority on the current policy epoch — when anything below changes, the change is dated here first.
Epoch № 1 — effective 2026-08-01
| Policy | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Sticker price | USD $29 / yr | The live founding price a seat sells for. |
| Partner pool | 40% · USD $11.60 | The share of each first-year seat that belongs to the ambassador who brought it. |
| Discount cap | 25% · USD $7.25 | Percentage promotions stop at 25%; fixed promotions are USD-only and stop at USD $7.25. |
| Renewals | Not commissionable | The pool applies to first-year payments only in v1. |
| Hold | 60 days | Each seat clears the provider refund window before its commission is payable. |
| Payouts | Monthly · min USD $25 | Cleared balances pay in the next monthly batch; smaller balances roll over. |
| Pixels | 10 / confirmed seat | Standing only. A full refund removes the seat's Pixels; a partial refund leaves them unchanged. |
The split, worked out
When you create a promotion, whatever you give your audience comes out of your pool; the rest is yours. Your default referral stays full price and uses the zero-discount baseline below.
| Audience discount | Audience pays | You earn / seat |
|---|---|---|
| 0% baseline · default link | USD $29 | USD $11.60 |
| 10% | USD $26.10 | USD $8.70 |
| 15% | USD $24.65 | USD $7.25 |
| 20% | USD $23.20 | USD $5.80 |
| 25% | USD $21.75 | USD $4.35 |
Zero is not an issuable promotion. Percentage promotions run from 0.01% through 25% and survive price changes untouched. Fixed promotions run from USD $0.01–$7.25. Every promotion creates both a link and a checkout code.
Attribution
- Your full-price referral link sets a signed, PII-free receipt valid for 30 days and has no checkout code for customers to type.
- Each promotion has its own link and checkout code; either carries that promotion's discount and attribution.
- The first valid attribution on a customer account is final. A purchase from the same Cullibrate account that owns the partner membership is rejected automatically as a same-account self-referral.
- Only provider-confirmed paid orders enter your ledger. There is no modelled or estimated attribution anywhere in the programme.
- A zero-value trial earns nothing. Its first positive subscription payment may become the one acquisition sale; later renewals cannot create another.
Change rules
- Sticker price may change at any time — ratios carry your split forward automatically.
- Pool increases and cap loosening take effect immediately.
- Pool reductions require 30 days' written notice and a new published epoch.
- An active promotion keeps the commercial epoch recorded when it was issued. Its economics are never silently changed underneath a shared link or checkout code.
- Earned and in-hold commissions are never repriced.
- Restructures happen as dated sunsets with notice and re-invitation — never silent mutation.
Presentation standards
- Use a clear disclosure close to the recommendation and the platform's branded-content tools where required; rules vary by country and platform.
- Register your posts in the portal so we can celebrate and cross-promote them.
- Keep claims to what the product does today; the brand kit lists approved claims.
- Promotion codes belong on your own channels — never coupon aggregation sites.
- No paid search on "Cullibrate" or its misspellings; no spam distribution.
Concerns about a post get written notice with the specifics and a cure period — never silent forfeiture. The full process is in the partner terms.
