Affiliate Program Terms

Last updated: 1 June 2026

These terms govern participation in the Zeff Scout affiliate program, operated by CRENZY CREATIVITY SRL (the "Company", "we"). By submitting an application and ticking the consent box in the affiliate panel, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to the terms below. These terms are supplemented by the general Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility

You may participate if you hold a valid Zeff Scout account and are at least 18 years old.
The program is open to both individuals and legal entities. The affiliate is responsible for declaring and paying any taxes on commissions earned.
Enrollment requires completing payout details (account holder mandatory, IBAN, bank, tax ID/TIN) and explicitly accepting these terms.
Participation becomes active only after the Company approves your application. The Company reserves the right to approve or reject any application at its own discretion, communicating the reason in case of rejection.
Sign up without an account (email only): you can reserve an affiliate code with just your email and your consent, without creating an account. Clicks, signups and subscriptions you bring are recorded against your code. Commission accrues, but becomes payable only after you create an account with the same email and complete your payout details (account holder, IBAN, tax ID). When you create the account, the code and all history are automatically linked to your account.

2. How commission is earned

You earn commission for each new customer who signs up through your unique affiliate link and becomes a paying Zeff Scout subscriber.

Commission on net: commission is calculated on the net amount received by the Company (excluding VAT and payment processor fees).
Recurring: you receive commission on each monthly payment of the referral, for as long as they remain a paying subscriber, up to the maximum period below.
Commission tiers based on the number of active referrals (paying subscribers):

Active referrals	Commission rate
1–5	20%
6–15	25%
16+	30%

Tiers and rates may be adjusted by the Company; the applicable values are those displayed in your affiliate panel at the time the commission is generated.

Hold period: each commission enters a hold period of 30 days, matching the refund window. After the hold expires, the commission becomes confirmed and available for withdrawal.
Maximum duration: recurring commission is granted for at most 12 months of consecutive payments per referral.

3. Commission payout

Multi-currency: balances are kept separately per currency (RON, EUR, USD). Currencies are not summed together.
How you get paid: you fill in your identity and bank details once, directly in the platform, when you activate the program. After your request is approved by the administrator and your identity is verified by Stripe (the KYC process), payouts are sent automatically to the registered bank account. There are no external connection steps or redirects: all data is entered in the app.
Stripe as payment processor: cash payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. Stripe performs identity verification (KYC) based on the data you provide. Administrator approval does NOT replace Stripe verification — both are required before the first payout. By submitting your request you accept the Stripe Connected Account Agreement.
Payout methods:
- Stripe transfer (cash): funds sent automatically to your bank account via Stripe Connect, after approval and identity verification.
- Account credit 1:1: your available balance is applied as a discount on your own Zeff Scout subscription, at a 1:1 ratio. Available only to active subscribers.
Minimum threshold: withdrawal is only possible above the minimum threshold displayed per currency. You may set your own custom minimum threshold, but not lower than the program threshold.
Auto-payout: you may choose manual payout, automatic when the threshold is reached, or automatic on a fixed day of the month (day 1–28).
Payouts are made exclusively to the bank details you have registered, at your own responsibility for their accuracy.

4. Anti-fraud and no self-referral

Self-referral is prohibited: you may not use your own link to create your own accounts or to pay for your own subscription.
Prohibited: fake or duplicate accounts, spam, misleading advertising, cookie stuffing, artificially incentivized traffic, bidding on Zeff Scout brand terms in search engines, and any method of artificially generating clicks or conversions.
The Company may investigate, suspend or cancel commissions and affiliate accounts in case of suspected fraud, without prior notice.

5. Clawback on refunds and cancellations

If a payment that generated a commission is later refunded, charged back or cancelled, the related commission is clawed back from your balance, even if it was already confirmed. If your balance does not cover the amount, it is carried over against future commissions.

6. Approval, modification and termination rights

The Company reserves the right to approve or reject applications and to suspend or exclude any affiliate who breaches these terms.
The Company may change the commission structure, thresholds, payout methods or other conditions at any time, with reasonable prior notice shown in the panel.
The program may be suspended or terminated by either party. Upon termination, commissions already confirmed and not affected by clawback are paid according to the rules in force.

7. Taxes

Commissions are taxable income. When you apply you choose the entity type under which you are paid — individual or company (PFA/LLC) — and the tax treatment applied differs based on this choice.

Companies (PFA/LLC): payment is made against an invoice, as a B2B relationship, without withholding tax. After you request payment, you upload in the panel the invoice issued to the Company (Crenzy Creativity SRL); payment is processed after the invoice is approved. The company is responsible for its own tax obligations (VAT if registered, income/profit tax, contributions).
Individuals: payment is made net, with withholding tax at source. The Company, as income payer, withholds income tax at a configurable rate (currently 10%), pays it and reports it to the authorities; this withheld tax is final for income tax. The panel shows the gross − tax = net breakdown before each withdrawal.
Health contribution (CASS): remains the responsibility of the individual. Above the legal thresholds, the individual owes CASS and declares it through the Unique Statement (Declarația Unică); the Company does not withhold or pay CASS on your behalf.
Recurring income: earning income from this activity on a continuous basis may, under the law, require authorization as a PFA (sole trader) or another form of organization. Assessing this obligation is your responsibility.
Liability: regardless of the regime, the affiliate is solely responsible for correctly declaring and paying all of their tax obligations, according to the applicable legislation.
The tax data collected (personal numeric code/CNP for individuals, tax ID/CUI and trade register number for companies, address, IBAN, payout details) is used strictly for making the payment and for fulfilling withholding and reporting obligations.

8. Data protection

Data provided for the program (including identity, bank and tax details) is processed by the Company for the purpose of administering the program and making payments, in accordance with the Privacy Policy and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). Identity data (name, date of birth, national ID number, address, and for companies the legal representative's details) and bank details are transmitted to Stripe, acting as payment processor, strictly for the purpose of the regulatory identity verification (KYC) and for making payments.
