Royalty offer rules

This article explains what happens when a referrer’s royalty offer changes after they invite someone to join.

Key idea to know first

A royalty offer is locked in when a new referrer signs up using a sponsor code.

Once that royalty offer is linked to the sponsored referrer, it does not change, even if the sponsor later receives a different royalty offer or a referrer offer with no royalties.

The only thing that stops a royalty is expiration.

Example 1

The sponsor’s royalty offer changes later

Scenario

  • Referrer A has a 10% royalty offer for 12 months

  • Referrer B signs up using Referrer A’s sponsor code

  • Later, Referrer A’s royalty offer changes to 5%

What happens

Referrer A continues to earn 10% royalties from Referrer B for the full 12 months.

The new 5% offer does not affect Referrer B.

Example timeline

  • 12/15/25
    Referrer A has Offer XYZ
    10% royalty for 12 months

  • 2/14/26
    Referrer B signs up using Referrer A’s sponsor code
    Referrer A earns 10% from Referrer B until 2/13/27

  • 2/17/26
    Referrer A receives a new offer
    Offer ZYX with 5% royalty for 12 months

    This does not change Referrer B’s royalties

  • 2/18/26
    Referrer C signs up using Referrer A’s sponsor code
    Referrer A earns 5% from Referrer C until 2/17/27

Summary for example 1

  • Existing sponsored referrers keep the original royalty

  • New sponsored referrers use the new royalty

  • Royalties stop only when the original time period expires

Example 2

The sponsor no longer has any royalty offer

Scenario

  • Referrer A has a 10% royalty offer for 12 months

  • Referrer B signs up while that offer is active

  • Later, Referrer A has no royalty offer at all

  • Referrer C signs up when Referrer A has no royalty offer.

What happens

Referrer A still earns the original 10% royalties from Referrer B until the 12-month period ends.

Removing or losing a royalty offer does not cancel any royalties already linked to Referrer B.

Referrer A does not earn royalties from Referrer C.

Summary for example 2

  • Royalties stay active once linked

  • Losing an offer later does not stop existing royalties

  • Royalties stop only when the original expiration date is reached

In simple terms

  • Royalty offers are locked at signup

  • Changes only affect future referrers

  • Expiration is the only thing that stops a royalty for existing referrers
