Referral Programme Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to anyone participating in the Lee Harding Referral Programme (“Referral Programme”).

By applying to join or participating in the Referral Programme, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not apply or participate.

1. Joining the Referral Programme

Applications to the Referral Programme are subject to approval.

I reserve the right to accept or decline any application at my discretion and may remove an affiliate from the programme where I reasonably believe their conduct is inappropriate, misleading, unlawful, damaging to my reputation or inconsistent with these terms.

You must provide accurate information when applying and keep your account information up to date.

Participation in the Referral Programme does not create an employment, agency, partnership, franchise or other formal business relationship between us.

You are an independent affiliate and are responsible for your own activities.

2. How referrals work

If approved, you will receive access to a unique referral link through Stan.

You may share this link with people who you genuinely believe may benefit from the eligible product.

When someone makes a qualifying purchase through your unique referral link, you may receive a commission in accordance with the commission rate applicable at the time of purchase.

Tracking, affiliate accounts and commission payments are administered through Stan and may also be subject to Stan’s own terms and conditions.

You are responsible for using your referral link correctly. I cannot guarantee commission where a purchase has not been correctly attributed to your referral link.

3. Commission

The current commission rate will be displayed or communicated when you join the Referral Programme.

Commission rates, product prices and products included in the Referral Programme may change from time to time. Participation in the programme does not guarantee any particular level of earnings.

Commission is payable only on legitimate, completed and eligible transactions successfully attributed to your referral link.

Commission may not be payable, or may subsequently be reversed, where a transaction is refunded, cancelled, charged back, fraudulent, made by you for your own use, or generated in breach of these terms.

I reserve the right to investigate suspicious referral activity and to suspend commissions or affiliate access while doing so.

4. How you may promote my products

You are welcome to recommend eligible products through appropriate channels including personal recommendations, social media, websites, newsletters and relevant communities where such promotion is permitted.

Your recommendations must be honest and must accurately represent the product.

You must not make claims or guarantees that I do not make myself.

In particular, you must not claim or imply that purchasing one of my products guarantees an interview, job offer, salary increase, promotion or any other employment or career outcome.

You must make it clear where required that you may receive a commission if someone purchases through your referral link.

You are responsible for ensuring your promotional activity complies with applicable advertising, consumer protection, privacy and electronic marketing laws, regulations and codes.

5. Protecting my reputation

Participation in the Referral Programme gives you permission to recommend my products. It does not mean that I endorse you, your business, your services, your content or your opinions.

You must not describe yourself as my employee, representative, agent, official partner or otherwise suggest that you have my endorsement.

You must not use my name, photograph, branding, reputation or products in a way that could reasonably mislead people about our relationship.

You must not make statements on my behalf.

You must not engage in promotional activity that I reasonably consider likely to damage my name, reputation or business.

If I ask you to remove or amend promotional material that breaches these terms or misrepresents me or my products, you must do so promptly.

6. Spam and prohibited marketing

You must not promote your referral link using spam, harassment, misleading advertising or other inappropriate marketing practices.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• unsolicited bulk emails or messages;
• mass unsolicited LinkedIn or social media messages;
• false or exaggerated claims;
• fake reviews or testimonials;
• misleading claims about scarcity, discounts or pricing;
• impersonating me or my business;
• presenting yourself as an official representative of my business;
• creating unauthorised discount or voucher codes;
• using deceptive redirects, cookie stuffing or other attempts to manipulate referral tracking;
• purchasing through your own referral link in order to generate commission.

You must also respect the rules of any website, community, social network or platform on which you promote your referral link.

7. My content and intellectual property

This section is particularly important.

Joining the Referral Programme does not give you ownership of, or general rights to use, my intellectual property.

All rights in my products and materials remain mine or those of the relevant rights holder. This includes, where applicable, written content, videos, downloads, templates, guides, frameworks, prompts, designs, graphics, branding, product names, website content and other materials.

Your affiliate access gives you permission to refer people to the authorised product sales page using your referral link.

It does not give you permission to reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, sublicense, share or otherwise make my products or their contents available to other people.

In particular, you must not:

• copy or substantially reproduce my products;
• share product files, downloads or account access with other people;
• upload my paid materials elsewhere;
• sell my materials independently;
• rebrand or white-label my materials;
• remove my branding and present my work as your own;
• copy substantial parts of my products into your own course, guide, template, service, AI tool or other commercial offering;
• use my materials to create a substantially similar or derivative product;
• provide purchasers with copies of my materials instead of directing them through your referral link.

You may describe the product and share promotional materials that I have specifically made available for affiliate use.

Any other use of my intellectual property requires my prior written permission.

Affiliate access may be revoked immediately where I reasonably believe my intellectual property has been copied, misused or distributed without permission. This does not affect any other rights or remedies I may have in relation to infringement of my intellectual property.

8. Paid advertising and use of my brand

Unless I have given you written permission, you must not run paid advertising that uses my name, image, business name, product names or branding in a way that suggests the advertisement is being run by me.

You must not bid on my name, business name, product names or confusingly similar terms through paid search advertising.

You must not create social media accounts, websites or domain names that could reasonably be mistaken for an official account or website operated by me.

9. Your responsibility for your audience

You are responsible for what you publish and for the way you communicate with people you refer.

I am not responsible for statements, representations or promises made independently by affiliates.

You must not provide information about my products that you know, or ought reasonably to know, is inaccurate.

10. Suspension and removal

I may suspend or terminate your participation in the Referral Programme if I reasonably believe that you have:

breached these terms; engaged in fraudulent or misleading activity; misused my intellectual property; behaved in a way likely to damage my reputation; manipulated referrals or commissions; or otherwise abused the Referral Programme.

Serious breaches may result in immediate removal.

Following termination, you must stop presenting yourself as a participant in the Referral Programme and stop using any promotional materials or intellectual property that you were permitted to use solely because of your participation.

Commission associated with fraudulent transactions or transactions generated through a material breach of these terms may be withheld or cancelled where permitted.

11. No guarantee of earnings

There is no guarantee that participating in the Referral Programme will generate referrals, sales, commission or income.

Any examples showing possible commission amounts are illustrations based on the relevant product price and commission rate at that time and are not earnings guarantees.

12. Changes to the programme

I may change the Referral Programme from time to time, including eligible products, prices, commission rates, promotional rules and these terms.

Where practical, material changes affecting existing affiliates will be communicated appropriately.

I may also suspend or discontinue the Referral Programme.

13. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

Subject to that, I am not responsible for losses arising from matters outside my reasonable control, including third-party platform failures, tracking failures, service interruptions or changes made by Stan or other third-party providers.

Participation in the Referral Programme is at your own discretion and does not guarantee any particular financial result.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from or connected with these terms, subject to any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
