Thank you for your interest in becoming a KONOS Affiliate. This program is designed to reward our community of trainers, handlers, and dog lovers who genuinely believe in what we’re building. The following guidelines explain how the program works, what you can expect, and what we ask of you in return.
1. Program Overview: As a KONOS Affiliate, you'll receive a unique discount code to share with your community. When someone makes a purchase using your code, they’ll receive 10% off, and you'll earn commission based on your tier. This program is open to trainers, dog handlers, content creators, and supporters who align with our values.
2. Commission & Tiers: We offer a tiered system that rewards your growth:
-
Ambassador (0–14 code uses): 5% commission
-
Builder (15–49 code uses): 10% commission + free shipping on personal orders
-
Champion (50+ code uses): 15% commission + free shipping + $50 KONOS gift card every active quarter + spotlight opportunities + priority access to new products/events.
You’ll automatically move up as your code is used. If you change tiers mid-quarter, your new commission rate will apply to any sales made after the tier upgrade.
3. Discount Code Use: Your affiliate code is intended for your audience—not for your own purchases. Misuse of your own code for personal orders may result in paused commissions or removal from the program. We offer tier-based perks like free shipping or gift cards to support your personal gear needs.
4. Payouts: Affiliate commissions are paid out quarterly via Venmo or PayPal. We’ll calculate your total based on confirmed code usage during the quarter.
5. Inactivity Policy: To remain active, your code must be used at least once every 6 months. If there’s no activity in that timeframe, we may pause your affiliate status and associated perks — but you’re always welcome to return. Past affiliates can rejoin at their previous tier if activity resumes within 12 months.
6. Brand Representation: By joining the program, you agree to represent KONOS with integrity and respect. That includes:
-
Only sharing accurate, honest info about our products
-
Not misusing your code or promoting it in spammy ways
-
Aligning with our values: curiosity, compassion, and open-mindedness in the training space
We reserve the right to remove affiliates who misrepresent our brand or violate these terms.
