Partner Program — Acceptable Use Policy
Effective date: 2026-05-25 · Version: 1.0.0
Behavior that will get a partner paused, accrual voided, or terminated. See also §7 and §8 of the Partner Program Agreement.
Marketing and representation
You will not:
- Make claims about Storage Studio that we haven't authorized or published.
- Use customer testimonials, case studies, or screenshots you don't have rights to.
- Use the Storage Studio name, logo, or brand assets outside the Brand Usage Guidelines.
- Register domains, social-media handles, or company names containing "Storage Studio" or confusingly similar variants.
- Bid on Storage Studio trademark terms in paid search without our written consent.
- Send spam — unsolicited bulk email, DMs, robocalls, or mass outreach that breaches CAN-SPAM / GDPR / CASL / equivalent.
- Use deceptive subject lines or hide the commercial relationship.
Referral attribution
You will not:
- Attribute your own personal purchases to yourself (self-referral is detected and voided).
- Use other partners' codes or links.
- Manipulate the attribution cookie (incentivised-click farms, extensions that clear competitors' cookies).
- Stack your referral code with promotional codes — transactions using any non-referral promo code are not eligible for your commission.
Flow B (reseller-as-buyer)
You will not:
- Use disposable, masked, or programmatically-generated customer email addresses.
- Buy Flow B licenses to email addresses you control to avoid retail pricing.
- Stockpile Flow B licenses with no identified end customer at the time of purchase.
- Misrepresent the price you paid to the end customer.
- Charge customers for "support" or "activation" services that imply they're part of Storage Studio.
- Burst purchases beyond your monthly cap.
Customer interactions
You will not:
- Collect payment for the Storage Studio Product beyond the checkout amount (Flow A) or what your customer has agreed to pay you for your services (Flow B).
- Impersonate Storage Studio support, sales, or engineering.
- Collect more customer data than needed to deliver a Flow B license (email is the only required field).
Technical conduct
You will not:
- Probe, scan, or attempt to circumvent rate limits, captchas, or anti-fraud controls.
- Reverse-engineer the Storage Studio Product or Program infrastructure except as the law expressly permits.
- Share your portal magic-link tokens, session cookies, or any credential.
- Automate portal logins or Flow B checkouts past the captcha. If you have a legitimate volume need, contact us.
Legal and ethical
You will not:
- Solicit customers in jurisdictions where Storage Studio is unavailable or where applicable sanctions / export controls prohibit the sale.
- Knowingly accept payment from sanctioned persons or entities.
- Pay or accept bribes, kickbacks, or commissions outside the Terms of Partnership.
- Discriminate against customers on protected grounds.
Enforcement
Proportionate ladder:
- First-time, low-severity: email contact, fix-it-please, no financial consequence.
- First-time, material: suspend affected transactions, notify, pause Flow B pending discussion.
- Repeat or severe: suspension or termination per §9 of the Agreement, with potential clawback.
- Suspected fraud: immediate pause of payouts and Flow B while we investigate.
