Products and Services Available for Promotion by Affiliates


Kathryn Calhoun Coaching maintains a list of programs and services available for You to promote inside your personal affiliate portal in Thrivecart, as well as the current fee payable to Affiliates for their services. You will receive affiliate payments for all purchases for which you are an approved affiliate, within the tracked/cookie timeframe (currently 3 months), as tracked by the Thrivecart system.


You may not promote the Kathryn Calhoun Coaching affiliate program itself. You may only promote Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s products and services to your audience as specified at the above link.


How to Promote Kathryn Calhoun Coaching Products and Services


Your promotions should be legal, fair, and follow our guidelines to protecting our intellectual property.


We will provide you with an affiliate tracking link and links to sales pages and resources. Your right to use these links is non-transferable and revocable. 


You may not create your own sales pages without our approval, but must directly link to Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s site using your affiliate tracking link. 


If you wish to create images promoting the products or services, they must be approved for use in advance by contacting hi@kathryncalhouncoaching.com.


You must prominently state that you will receive an affiliate commission for the sale of Kathryn Calhoun Coaching products and services near the link, and in email and social media promotions. 


You may not offer your customers discounts, rebates, kick-backs, coupons, or any other monetary amount in exchange for the use of your affiliate link to purchase Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s products and services. However, you may offer a bonus to your customers, such as access to a program of yours for free or a reduced rate if they purchase through your affiliate link. 


You may not share your affiliate link with any other person who is not an intended customer (for example, with a friend for the purpose of sharing commissions).


Instead of ten pages of descriptions about how not to game the system, just be aware that any tactic which violates the spirit of a referral relationship (i.e., your good faith promotion of Kathryn Calhoun Coaching products and services to people who have expressed an interest in hearing from you, such as your opted-in email subscribers) will result in termination of this agreement and forfeiture/revocation of any commissions earned using these tactics, as determined by Kathryn Calhoun Coaching in its sole discretion.


Do not spam people with your promotion, use slimy tactics, offer bonuses they can keep even if they refund, or generally do unpleasant things that reflect poorly on you and/or Kathryn Calhoun Coaching. Any tactic which violates the above will likewise result in termination of this agreement and forfeiture/revocation of any commissions earned using these tactics, as determined by Kathryn Calhoun Coaching in its sole discretion.


If you wish to use paid advertising to promote Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s products or services, or use SEO techniques that use Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s names or other intellectual property, you must contact our JV Manager at hi@kathryncalhouncoaching.com in advance. You are prohibited from using Kathryn's photo/likeness without permission.

How to Get Paid


To get paid, you must connect a Business PayPal account to your Thrivecart affiliate account. The steps are outlined once you are set up as an affiliate via the link above, and you can always reach out to the team at hi@kathryncalhouncoaching.com if you need help getting set up. Please note PayPal sometimes charges fees for the receipt of affiliate commissions, depending on a number of factors including your country of residence as well as Kathryn Calhoun Coaching, and this is something outside our control.


Kathryn Calhoun Coaching will process valid orders (see “How to Promote…” above) placed through your unique tracking link and will pay you published rates of commission at the time of the sale. Orders not placed through your link, the incorrect use of your link, or a user not allowing themselves to be tracked will not be compensated. There are no exceptions due to the difficulty in proving the referral source. Please be careful to use your provided affiliate link exactly as it is given to help avoid missing out on commissions.


Your affiliate payment will be payable after the fee is collected from the customer and the refund window and processing time have elapsed (currently 30 days after we receive the transaction amount). If they pay in full, you will receive your complete affiliate payment. If they pay in installments, you will receive payment as a percentage of each installment. If they do not complete the payment program, you will not receive the entire commission. There are no circumstances in which you will receive two referral commissions for the same client for the same service. 


All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including Kathryn Calhoun Coaching’s services, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be our responsibility. Occasionally, in our sole discretion, we may have to refund a customer. You will not be compensated for such a sale and any paid commissions will be revocable.  

Commissions will be processed approximately thirty (30) days after they accrue. In some cases, commissions are processed on the 1st of the month following the thirty (30) day window. They will be paid via PayPal.


If You have a question about a commission, contact us within thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due at hi@kathryncalhouncoaching.com.


Leaderboard Bonus Commissions


Kathryn Calhoun Coaching tracks affiliate performance and compiles a list of the top performing affiliates in terms of a variety of metrics, including sales (these are called the Leaderboards).


From time to time, Kathryn Calhoun Coaching offers additional monetary commissions to affiliates who rank on the Leaderboards.


Any bonus commissions offered for affiliates on the Leaderboards of a given launch will be posted at: https://kc.kathryncalhouncoaching.com/affiliates


Please note there are minimum sales targets in order for these bonus commissions to be payable. 


To qualify for a Leaderboard bonus commission, individual affiliates must rank on the Leaderboard AND either (a) sell a minimum amount of units as described below OR (b) sales from all affiliates combined must total a minimum of 36 units. (These numbers may change from launch to launch.)


If you are ranked on the Leaderboard and you meet either one of the above criteria, any bonus commissions you qualify for will be paid out approximately sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the given launch via PayPal (see "How to Get Paid").


Current Minimums to Qualify for Sales Leaderboard Bonus Commissions for the August 2022 Launch:


1st Place - $15,000 - 25 sales minimum

2nd Place - $4,000 - 7 sales minimum

3rd Place - $1,000 - 2 sales minimum
