Affiliate Program Terms
Updated Sep 30, 2026
These terms outline the standard participation rules for the Qualitative Analytics (QA) Affiliate Program and may be updated by QA at any time with notice to affiliates. Participation may also be subject to additional terms specific to an affiliate, as confirmed by QA in a written email addendum.
Sale Definition
A sale occurs any time a customer is successfully charged, either through manual checkout or automatic billing. Each sale extends the customer’s subscription period (for example, by one year for an annual subscription, or by one month for a monthly subscription or trial, etc.). Customers remain eligible for a pro-rata refund on their most recent sale in accordance with QA's Terms of Service.
Commission Schedule
Commission Rate: Affiliates earn a commission equal to 20% of the purchase price of each eligible sale.
Example: With a commission rate of 20%, a $1000 sale will result in a $200 commission owed to the affiliate.
If a customer refund is issued on a particular sale before the associated commission payout, the commission will be reduced to the lesser of (1) the commission otherwise owed on that sale or (2) the net amount retained on that sale after refunds and transaction fees.
Example: If a $1000 sale would normally result in a $200 commission, but the customer later receives an $850 refund and transaction fees total $30, QA retains $120 on the sale. The affiliate's commission will therefore be reduced from $200 to $120.
Pay Date: QA will establish a pay date for each commission. The pay date determines when a commission becomes due; commissions due are paid on QA’s monthly payment cycle. The pay date is the earliest date on which a pro-rata refund to the customer for that sale would not result in a negative net to QA after payment of the commission.
Example: With a commission rate of 20%, an annual (12-month) subscription will have a pay date approximately 2.4 months after the sale date. A monthly subscription will have a pay date approximately 0.2 months (about 6 days) after the sale date.
Earnable Months: Affiliates earn commissions on sales covering up to 12 months of total purchased subscription time per customer.
Example #1: A customer buys a 1-month trial, and the affiliate earns a commission on that sale.
13 months later, the customer purchases an 11-month upgrade, and the affiliate earns another commission.
Having now earned commissions on a total of 12 months of subscription time, the affiliate is no longer eligible for further commissions from that customer.
Example #2: A customer subscribes monthly for 4 months, then switches to an annual subscription. The affiliate earns 5 separate commissions: one for each of the 4 monthly sales, and then on two-thirds of the annual subscription sale (for a total of 4 months + 8 months = 12 months of purchased subscription time).
Customer Attribution
Click Tracking: Customers are attributed to the affiliate when a customer clicks on a link to ewaves.com that includes the affiliate's Seller Code Number (SCN) using ?scn=xxx (where xxx is the actual number). When clicked, the SCN is stored (or renewed) on the customer’s device for 180 days. If the customer (1) makes any purchase during that time or (2) signs up for the "EWAVES Updates" mailing list or (3) sends a message to QA via the Contact Us page, the SCN is permanently linked to that customer.
Custom Metadata: The affiliate may include arbitrary custom metadata alongside its SCN in ewaves.com links (e.g., ?scn=xxx&subseller=sam123). This metadata will remain permanently attached to the customer in the same manner as the SCN and will be included in commission reports as embedded JSON. Metadata also includes a timestamp field indicating precisely when the customer clicked the link.
Attribution Exceptions: In the absence of a click-tracked SCN, QA may, at its discretion, recognize other reasonable evidence of referral, such as direct introductions or verified customer contact records, on a case-by-case basis. Partial or full credit may be granted, depending on the circumstances of each referral.
