Affiliate Terms and Conditions — United Kingdom
Last updated: 9 July 2026
These Terms and Conditions apply to the BlindsMATE Trade Partner Programme operated by Team360Media, trading as BlindsMATE (“BlindsMATE”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
By applying for, joining, or participating in the BlindsMATE Trade Partner Programme, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
1. Purpose of the Programme
The BlindsMATE Trade Partner Programme is a trade-focused affiliate programme for individuals and businesses who wish to recommend the BlindsMATE app to blinds, window-covering and related trade professionals.
Approved Trade Partners may earn commission on qualifying sales generated through their unique affiliate link or other approved tracking method.
2. Eligibility
The Programme is intended for trade-relevant partners, including but not limited to:
blinds fitters;
blinds advisors;
window-covering professionals;
trainers;
suppliers;
trade influencers;
business coaches;
trade group owners;
relevant publishers or content creators.
We reserve the right to approve, reject, suspend or remove any applicant or Trade Partner at our sole discretion.
Participation in the Programme does not create an employment, agency, franchise, joint venture or partnership relationship between you and BlindsMATE.
3. Application and Approval
To join the Programme, you must complete the application process provided by BlindsMATE, including any application form, Systeme.io registration process or other onboarding method we provide.
We may ask for additional information before approving your application.
You must provide accurate and up-to-date information, including your name, business name, contact details, payment details and any promotional channels you intend to use.
4. Affiliate Links and Tracking
Once approved, you will be issued with a unique affiliate link or tracking method.
You are responsible for using the correct link or tracking method when promoting BlindsMATE.
Commissions are tracked using Systeme.io or any other platform we may use from time to time.
We are not responsible for commissions that are not tracked because of:
incorrect links;
broken links;
deleted cookies;
browser restrictions;
customer refusal of tracking;
customer use of another affiliate link;
customer purchase through a different route;
technical issues outside our reasonable control.
Our tracking records will be the primary evidence used to determine whether a commission is payable.
5. Qualifying Sales
A qualifying sale is a genuine purchase of a BlindsMATE product or subscription by a new customer who has been referred through your approved affiliate link or tracking method.
A sale will not qualify for commission if:
the customer cancels before payment is received;
the payment fails;
the sale is refunded;
the payment is charged back;
the sale is fraudulent or suspicious;
the customer is already an existing BlindsMATE customer;
the sale is generated by self-referral;
the sale breaches these Terms;
the sale was generated using misleading, unlawful or unauthorised marketing.
Where a product includes a free trial, commission will only become payable after the customer has made a successful paid purchase or paid subscription payment.
6. Commission Rates
Commission rates will be stated on the Programme page, in your affiliate dashboard, or in written communication from BlindsMATE.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the current commission structure is:
Essentials lifetime licence: 30%]
Pro monthly subscription: 30%
Pro annual subscription: 30%
Business monthly subscription: 30%
Business annual subscription:30%
We may change commission rates at any time by giving notice to Trade Partners.
Commission changes will not normally affect valid commissions already earned before the change takes effect.
7. Payment of Commission
Commissions are payable only after the sale has been confirmed, payment has cleared, and any applicable refund, cancellation or chargeback period has passed.
We apply a 30 Day payment delay to protect against refunds, failed payments, chargebacks or suspected misuse.
Commission payments will be made using the payment method we make available, which may include bank transfer, PayPal, Wise or another suitable method.
You are responsible for ensuring your payment details are accurate and up to date.
We may apply a minimum payout threshold of £30. If your earned commission is below the threshold, it will roll over until the threshold is reached.
We may withhold or cancel commission where we reasonably believe a referral is invalid, fraudulent, misleading, unlawful or in breach of these Terms.
8. Refunds, Chargebacks and Cancellations
If a customer receives a refund, reverses payment, cancels before becoming a paying customer, or raises a successful chargeback, any related commission may be cancelled, deducted from future payments, or reclaimed if already paid.
9. Acceptable Promotion
You may promote BlindsMATE through lawful, honest and trade-relevant channels, including:
your website;
social media;
email marketing, where lawful;
trade groups, where permitted by group rules;
YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn or similar platforms;
