Partner Program Terms
Last updated: July 22, 2026
These Partner Program Terms ("Terms") govern your participation in the SomaVue Partner Program (the "Program"), operated by SomaVue ("SomaVue," "we," "us," or "our"). By enrolling in the Program you ("Partner," "you," or "your") agree to these Terms, our general Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.
The Program is intended for licensed clinicians, functional-medicine educators, and clinical content creators. It is not a general affiliate program. Enrollment may be denied or revoked at our discretion.
1. Enrollment and eligibility
To participate, you must (a) be at least 18 years of age; (b) have legal capacity to enter binding contracts; (c) provide accurate, current registration information; and (d) comply with all applicable laws, including consumer-protection, health-privacy, medical-advertising, and endorsement-disclosure laws in your jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to approve, deny, or revoke Program access at our sole discretion, including but not limited to Partners who cannot demonstrate professional context aligned with SomaVue's clinician audience.
2. Commission structure
Subject to these Terms, SomaVue will pay you a commission of twenty-five percent (25%) of net subscription revenue collected from a Qualified Referral (defined below) for a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the date of the referred user's first successful paid invoice.
- Net revenue means gross subscription revenue actually received by SomaVue in cleared funds, less refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and third-party payment-processor fees directly attributable to that transaction.
- Annual plans: Commission is paid as a single 25% payout on the full annual invoice at purchase. No further monthly commission accrues on an annual plan.
- Monthly plans: Commission is calculated per successful monthly invoice for up to 12 consecutive months. Commission ceases when the referred user cancels or fails to renew.
- Plan changes: If a referred user upgrades or downgrades, commissions adjust to the new invoice amount for the remainder of the 12-month window.
3. Qualified Referral
A "Qualified Referral" means a new SomaVue user who (a) clicks a Partner's assigned referral link, (b) is attributed to that Partner through our tracking system, and (c) successfully completes a paid subscription with cleared funds within the applicable attribution window.
The current attribution window is thirty (30) days from the referred user's initial click on a Partner referral link, as measured by our tracking cookie and platform records. SomaVue may adjust the attribution window with notice.
Attribution requires that the referred user's browser accepts and retains the tracking cookie set by our referral platform. Users who block cookies, clear cookies between click and purchase, or complete the purchase from a different device may not be successfully attributed. SomaVue's tracking-platform records are the sole source of truth for attribution disputes.
4. Payouts
- Payout frequency: Commissions are paid monthly, typically within 15 days after the close of the calendar month in which they accrued.
- Payout method: PayPal or Wise. You are responsible for maintaining a valid payout account and up-to-date payment details.
- Minimum threshold: Payouts are issued only when your accrued balance clears USD $50. Balances below the threshold roll forward.
- Currency: All commissions are calculated and paid in US Dollars (USD). Currency conversion fees are borne by the Partner.
- Clawbacks: If a referred user's payment is refunded, reversed, disputed, or subject to chargeback, the associated commission will be automatically deducted from your balance. Negative balances may carry forward against future earnings.
5. Taxes and reporting
You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes on commissions received under the Program. SomaVue may require tax documentation before issuing payouts:
- US Partners: A completed IRS Form W-9 is required before payout. Partners earning $600 or more in a calendar year will receive a 1099-NEC in accordance with IRS regulations.
- Non-US Partners: A completed IRS Form W-8BEN (individuals) or W-8BEN-E (entities) may be required to certify foreign status.
Failure to provide required tax documentation may result in withholding of payouts or removal from the Program.
6. Disclosure obligations (FTC compliance)
You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to SomaVue in any content promoting or referencing the Program or the SomaVue product, in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and analogous disclosure rules in your jurisdiction.
Acceptable disclosure examples include:
- "I'm a SomaVue partner — I earn a commission if you subscribe through my link."
- "#ad · #SomaVuePartner" in the first line of a social post, before any "more" cutoff.
- A written notice at the top of a blog, newsletter, or Substack post referencing SomaVue.
- A verbal disclosure at the start of a video or podcast segment mentioning SomaVue.
Disclosures must be plainly visible or audible before the audience encounters the recommendation — not buried in a footer, hidden behind a "more" toggle, or placed after the CTA. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable disclosure laws.
7. Prohibited conduct
The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commissions:
- Patient-directed marketing. SomaVue is a clinician tool. Promoting the Program to patients, general consumers, or non-practitioner audiences violates our positioning and, in some jurisdictions, medical-advertising law.
- False, misleading, or unsubstantiated medical claims. You may not represent SomaVue as diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any disease, and must not make unsubstantiated efficacy claims.
- Trademark or brand-term paid search. No bidding in Google Ads, Bing Ads, Meta Ads, or any paid channel on "SomaVue," "somavue.co," or any confusingly similar term or misspelling.
- Cookie stuffing, fraudulent clicks, or self-referral. No use of scripts, bots, incentivized clicks, or referring yourself, your household, or entities you control.
- Spam. No unsolicited commercial email, SMS, forum posts, comment spam, or listing on coupon/deal-aggregator sites.
- Squatting on domains, social handles, or app-store listings containing "SomaVue" or confusingly similar terms.
- Modification of the referral link. You may not alter, cloak, redirect, or otherwise obscure your referral link in ways that interfere with attribution or user trust.
- Copyright or IP violations. Do not copy SomaVue product screenshots or content without permission, or misrepresent yourself as SomaVue or a SomaVue employee.
8. Intellectual property
SomaVue grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to use SomaVue trademarks, logos, product screenshots, and provided promotional assets solely for the purpose of promoting the Program in accordance with these Terms. All goodwill arising from your use of SomaVue marks inures to SomaVue. You acquire no ownership interest in any SomaVue intellectual property through participation in the Program.
9. Confidentiality
You will not disclose non-public information about the Program, our business, or our users without our prior written consent. This includes referred-user identities, individual earnings breakdowns, and any pre-release features shared with you.
10. Termination
You may withdraw from the Program at any time by notifying us at partners@somavue.co. We may suspend or terminate your participation at any time, with or without cause, effective upon notice. Upon termination:
- Your referral link will be disabled.
- Accrued but unpaid commissions above the payout threshold will be paid in the next scheduled cycle, subject to clawback for any subsequent refunds or chargebacks.
- If terminated for cause (including any violation of Section 7), all accrued but unpaid commissions are forfeited and you agree to cease all use of SomaVue marks and promotional materials immediately.
11. Independent contractor relationship
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint-venture, agency, or franchise relationship between you and SomaVue. You may not represent yourself as a SomaVue employee, agent, or authorized representative.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SOMAVUE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT WILL SOMAVUE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS EXCEED THE TOTAL COMMISSIONS PAID OR PAYABLE TO YOU IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
13. Modification
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version at this URL. Your continued participation constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. Material changes to commission rates or attribution windows will be communicated by email at least 14 days before taking effect.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which SomaVue is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the state and federal courts located in that jurisdiction.
