Who can take part

• You are 18 or older and have a GameMargins account.
• You make videos, streams or other content about a game that has Premium tools on GameMargins, or you plan to.
• We approve every application by hand and may decline one without giving a reason.

Your code and link

• You get a code and a link (gamemargins.com/c/your-code). A viewer who uses them gets 20% off their first Premium payment, monthly or yearly, after the 7-day free trial. The discount is not combined with other offers; where another offer is bigger, that one applies.
• A customer is attributed to you when your code is the first one on their account; one creator per customer. A customer who has or has had a Premium subscription can't be attributed, and you can't use your own code.
• You see totals only: clicks, sign-ups, trials, paying subscribers and your earnings. You never see who your viewers are.

Commission

• You earn 30% of each payment an attributed subscriber makes to GameMargins, excluding VAT or sales tax, for monthly and yearly plans alike.
• The commission runs for at most 36 months after that subscriber's first paid invoice.
• Payments are counted in euro as settled with us. A payment made in another currency counts at the euro amount Stripe settles.
• A commission becomes payable 30 days after its payment. A refund or chargeback reverses the commission on that payment, in proportion to the amount refunded; a reversal after a payout is offset against your later payouts, and a negative balance carries forward.
• We may change the commission or the discount; we announce changes at least 30 days ahead by email. Commissions already earned keep their rate.

Payouts and self-billing

• Payouts go out monthly once your payable balance is €25 or more, by SEPA bank transfer, PayPal or Wise, to the details you fill in on your creator page.
• Self-billing agreement. You agree that we draw up the invoice for your commissions on your behalf: a numbered statement per payout that names you, the period, the commission lines, the total and the VAT treatment. You accept each statement unless you object within 14 days. You don't send us invoices yourself.
• VAT: a Dutch business with VAT is paid the commission plus 21% VAT; a Dutch business under the small businesses scheme (KOR) is paid without VAT; a business outside the Netherlands gets the VAT reverse-charged and accounts for it itself; a private individual is paid without VAT. You give us the details this needs (business name, address, VAT or KvK number; as a private individual in the Netherlands also your date of birth, for a possible request from the tax authority) and keep them up to date. We never ask for a BSN.
• Taxes on what you earn are your own responsibility.

Advertising must be recognisable at once

Your mentions of GameMargins are advertising, under the Dutch Reclamecode (the Reclamecode Social Media & Influencer Marketing), the UK's ASA rules and the US FTC Endorsement Guides. So, every time:

• say it out loud or in plain words in the content itself ("this is sponsored", "I earn from this link");
• put #ad or "affiliate link" in the description, next to the link or code, not hidden under "show more";
• switch on YouTube's "includes paid promotion" box or Twitch's branded-content setting for that video or stream.

We check new videos and streams for this with the platforms' own data (the paid-promotion and branded-content marks, titles and descriptions). Content without clear disclosure is a reason to pause or end your participation.

What is not allowed

• promising profits or presenting GameMargins' numbers as guaranteed;
• implying any tie to Jagex, Electronic Arts, Sandbox Interactive or another game publisher;
• promoting GameMargins next to or together with bots, gold selling, real-world trading or gambling;
• putting your code on coupon or deal sites, running ads on the "GameMargins" name or misspellings of it, or sending spam;
• referring yourself, your own accounts, or fake accounts;
• anything that breaks the law, a platform's rules or our terms of use.

Pausing and ending

• We may pause or end your participation if you break these terms, or for other reasons with 30 days' notice. While paused, your code gives no discount and earns nothing; what you earned before stays yours and is paid out as usual.
• You can stop at any time by emailing support@gamemargins.com. Commissions earned until then are paid out as usual.
• Your free Premium lasts as long as you are an active creator.

Changes

We may change these terms. We email you at least 30 days before a change applies; if you don't agree, you can stop taking part before then.

Law

Dutch law applies. Please email support@gamemargins.com first if something is wrong; most things are sorted out that way. Otherwise, disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands.
