Dock Creators Partner Terms

02Eligibility and acceptance

The program is by application. We look for creators who publish about AI to a real audience, on any platform. Acceptance is at our discretion, and we can decline without giving a reason. You can't refer yourself; the program detects self-referral at attribution time and drops it silently. You must be at least 18 and able to receive payments through Stripe.

03What you receive on acceptance

Dock Scale. One workspace on the Scale plan, on us, for the period in your agreed terms, starting at activation. When it ends the workspace moves to the free plan unless you subscribe. No cash value, not transferable.

Model credits. GPT and Claude usage credits applied to that workspace, in the amount in your agreed terms. Credits are for use inside Dock, expire on the same day the Scale trial ends, have no cash value, and can't be transferred or withdrawn. If your account is suspended, unused credits are forfeited.

First access. We may give you agents, features and materials before they are public. Anything marked pre-release is confidential until Dock announces it publicly. You may not publish, screenshot or describe pre-release material before that date without our written OK. We'll always tell you the date.

04Attribution

Attribution is first-touch with a 30-day cookie window. If someone clicks two partners' links, the first one wins. The attribution locks at signup and cannot be transferred between partners. Existing Dock customers who click your link are not attributable. The program is for new customer acquisition.

05Revenue share

You earn the revenue share in your agreed terms on the amount an attributed customer actually pays Dock (post-discount, pre-tax) on every invoice during the window in your agreed terms, counted from their first paid invoice. The window starts when they first pay, not when they sign up.

Annual plans paid upfront count as one share of the annual amount, released after the 14-day hold. Plan changes flow through the customer's next invoice and are shared at your agreed rate on whatever they actually pay.

06Collaboration fees

From time to time we'll ask you to make something with us: a video, a launch post, a live session, a case study. Each collaboration gets a short written brief that states the deliverable and the deadline. The fee is set by your agreed terms and is owed when the deliverable is published as briefed. Collaboration fees are separate from, and in addition to, revenue share. Nothing in these terms obliges either of us to collaborate; each one is agreed on its own.

07Payouts

Payouts run daily via Stripe Connect Express. We hold every revenue-share amount for 14 days after the customer's payment clears (the standard refund window). After the hold, eligible amounts are batched per partner and transferred. Collaboration fees are paid on the next sweep after the deliverable is published.

You need to complete Stripe Connect onboarding to receive payouts. Earnings still accrue while you're unonboarded and release on the next sweep after onboarding completes. Payouts release once your balance reaches the minimum payout; smaller balances roll forward.

Stripe handles W-9 and W-8BEN collection at onboarding and issues 1099-NEC forms to US partners where the law requires them. Dock collects no tax data directly.

08Refunds

If an attributed customer is refunded inside the 14-day hold, the related share is cancelled and never paid out. If the refund happens after the share has released, we absorb the loss. We never claw back money that has already been paid to you.

09Content, disclosure and brand

You keep ownership of the content you make. For content produced under a collaboration brief, you grant Dock a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to share, embed and promote it, with credit to you, for as long as it stays public.

You agree to disclose your partner relationship in any content promoting Dock. The FTC requires this for paid endorsements; failure to disclose is your risk to manage. See ftc.gov endorsement guidelines.

You may use the Dock name and logo to describe the product honestly. You may not imply you are a Dock employee, make claims about the product we haven't made, or run paid ads on Dock's brand terms.

10Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate a partner account for any reason, including brand misalignment, abuse, fraudulent attribution, breach of an embargo, or violation of these terms. On suspension your link returns 404, no new attributions write, unused credits are forfeited, and pending payouts stay pending until reactivation. You can leave the program at any time by emailing us; amounts already earned are still paid out after the hold.

11Privacy of referred customers

We never share an attributed customer's email, name, organisation or plan with you. The dashboard surfaces them only as anonymous identifiers. This is intentional and not configurable.

12Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will require re-acceptance before earning further payouts. Non-material edits take effect on the date posted.
