Terms of Service
Last updated: April 15, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Paid2Say. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Paid2Say platform, website, and services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Paid2Say ("we," "us," or "our"), located in San Antonio, Texas.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. Description of Service
Paid2Say is an affiliate marketing platform that connects local businesses with individuals who promote those businesses in exchange for commissions on referred customers. The platform enables:
- Businesses to create and manage affiliate (earner) programs, set commission structures, and track referrals.
- Micro-Owners (Affiliates) to discover local businesses, claim category-exclusive positions, promote businesses to their networks, and earn cash commissions on successful referrals.
Paid2Say acts as an intermediary platform facilitating the relationship between businesses and affiliates. We are not a party to the underlying transactions between businesses and their customers.
3. User Accounts
3.1 Account Types
The Service offers two types of accounts:
- Business Accounts — For businesses that want to create and manage affiliate programs, set commission rates, and track referral performance.
- Affiliate Accounts (Micro-Owner Accounts) — For individuals who want to promote businesses and earn cash commissions on successful referrals.
3.2 Account Registration
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.3 Account Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts to use the Service. Business accounts must be registered by an authorized representative of the business.
4. Affiliate Program Rules
4.1 Category Exclusivity
Paid2Say operates on a category-exclusivity model. Each business is assigned to a category, and only one business per category may be listed in a given area. This means that when you claim a earner position for a business, you are the exclusive affiliate for that business's category in your network.
4.2 Claiming Positions
Affiliates may browse available businesses and claim open earner positions. Once a position is claimed, it is reserved for that affiliate subject to any performance requirements or terms set by the business.
4.3 Referral Tracking
All referrals must be made through the Paid2Say platform using your unique referral links, codes, or other tracking methods provided by the Service. We are not responsible for referrals that cannot be tracked due to improper use of referral methods.
5. Commission Structure & Fees
5.1 Commission Rates
Commission rates are set by each individual business and are displayed on the business's profile before you claim a position. Businesses may offer flat-rate commissions, percentage-based commissions, or other structures as supported by the platform.
5.2 Platform Fees
Paid2Say charges a platform fee on transactions processed through the Service. Current fee structures are detailed on our pricing page and may be updated from time to time with notice to affected users.
5.3 Commission Confirmation
Commissions are tracked in real time but are subject to a confirmation period during which the business verifies the referral. Commissions may be reversed if a referral is determined to be invalid, fraudulent, or if the underlying transaction is refunded or cancelled.
6. Payouts
6.1 W-9 Requirement
Before receiving your first payout, you must submit a completed W-9 form (or W-8BEN for non-U.S. persons, if applicable) through the platform. We are required to collect this information for tax reporting purposes. No payouts will be processed until valid tax documentation is on file.
6.2 Minimum Payout Threshold
Payouts are subject to a minimum threshold amount as displayed in your account dashboard. Earned commissions below the minimum threshold will accumulate until the threshold is met.
6.3 Payout Methods
Payouts are processed through Tremendous, our third-party payout partner. Available payout methods may include direct bank transfer, prepaid cards, gift cards, or other methods as made available through Tremendous. You are responsible for selecting your preferred payout method and ensuring your payout information is accurate.
6.4 Payout Schedule
Payouts are processed on a regular schedule as detailed in your account dashboard. Processing times may vary depending on the payout method selected and any applicable verification requirements.
