Affiliate & Contributor Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 09/23/26

Please read this entire document. By signing up for our affiliate program or submitting a product for inclusion in a Collection or promotion, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms below.

1) Payment & Commissions

You are paid by affiliate commission. Any Collection purchase made through your unique affiliate link will earn you a commission. Your Collection affiliate commission level is based on the total value of your accepted products in that specific sale:

  • No product submissions: 40%
  • Product submissions valued $10–$25: 50%
  • Product submissions valued $26–$40: 60%
  • Product submissions valued $41+: 70%

Marketplace Affiliate Commissions

Homeschool Resource Co. also offers an ongoing Marketplace Affiliate program. When your unique Marketplace affiliate link is used:

  • You earn 10% commission on eligible Marketplace product purchases and Vendor subscription purchases.
  • This 10% never comes out of the vendor’s pocket; it is paid from the admin side.
  • All Marketplace affiliate commissions are tracked and paid under the same affiliate platform you use for Collections. Payouts are issued on our standard payout schedule (see “Payouts” below).
  • Commissions are not paid on your own purchases, on refunded or charged-back orders, or on sales from promotion that breaks these terms.
  • You must sign up for the Homeschool Resource Co. affiliate program to access your unique affiliate links.
  • You will only be paid a commission for sales generated through your unique affiliate link.
  • Last click wins: The affiliate link the customer clicks last is awarded the sale and earns the commission.
  • Referral cookies last 183 days.
  • It is your responsibility to use your links correctly. Homeschool Resource Co. is not responsible for incorrectly used links or issues that may cause lost tracking, cookies, clicks, sales, or commissions.

2A) Prohibited Promotion

To protect our customers and our own advertising, affiliates and contributors may not:

  • Bid on “Homeschool Resource Co.,” “HRC,” “homeschoolresourceco,” or misspellings or variations of these, in Google, Bing, or any other paid search. Also add these as negative keywords in broad-match campaigns.
  • Run paid ads (search, social, or display) that use HRC’s name or logo, or that send traffic straight to an HRC page through your affiliate link, without written approval.
  • Post HRC coupon codes that weren’t issued to you on coupon or deal websites.
  • Use cookie stuffing, pop-ups, hidden links, auto-redirects, or rewards for clicking.
  • Send spam, or pose as Homeschool Resource Co. or its staff.
  • Make false claims about products, prices, sale dates, or earnings.
  • HRC may reverse commissions earned through prohibited promotion and remove the affiliate from the program.

3) Payouts

  • Affiliate commission payouts are made via PayPal only. You must have a PayPal account to receive payment.
  • Homeschool Resource Co. covers PayPal fees for affiliate payouts.
  • Collections: Payouts will be made within 4 weeks of the last day of the sale.
  • Marketplace: Marketplace affiliate commissions are paid through the same system as Collection payouts, but are paid out monthly.,

4) Taxes

You are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on your earnings in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws. HRC may request a Form W-9 and will issue tax forms where required by law.

5) Right to Decline or End Participation

Homeschool Resource Co. reserves the right to deny affiliation or partnership to any individual or business whose marketing, products, conduct, or promotional practices conflict with our brand, violate these terms, or otherwise present a risk to our audience trust or platform integrity. Either party may end participation at any time. Valid commissions earned before that date will be paid on the normal schedule, unless participation ends because of a violation of these terms.

6) Submissions & Product Distribution (Collections)

  • By submitting a product to any Homeschool Resource Co. opportunity, you grant us the right—if your product is chosen—to offer it within the respective Collection as a bundled product.
  • Collection products are only sold/offered during the sale window, and are served through a secure portal.
  • Once a product is accepted, it cannot be removed from that Collection. In exceptional circumstances, you may request a retraction. Retractions are reviewed case-by-case and are at the sole discretion of the Homeschool Resource Co. team.
  • Homeschool Resource Co. distributes all accepted product files. Your product remains your intellectual property. Customers access downloads through our secure platform.
  • You must provide the full product for the Collection. This agreement is non-exclusive; you may continue selling the same product in your own shop or third-party shops.
  • Collections are offered only on our website during the sale period and are not resold afterward. However, Collections no longer expire for purchasers. Customers retain access to their purchases in their accounts, which supports long-term audience trust and allows continued discoverability of your brand.
  • Memberships and courses included in a Collection must include non-expiry coupon codes.
  • Marketing license. You grant HRC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your product title, cover image, description, sample pages, and your name, logo, and brand name to market the Collection. This includes HRC’s website, emails, social media, affiliate swipe files, and paid advertising, during the sale and in promotion of future Collections. HRC may create mockups and excerpts but will not alter your product itself.
  • Your promises. Your product is your original work. Every font, clip art image, and photo is licensed for this use, you have releases for any identifiable people, and your claims about the product are truthful (see the Vendor Content Guidelines).

7) Promotions

  • Homeschool Resource Co. may offer promotional copies of any Collection for the purpose of promoting that Collection sale.
  • All accepted contributors receive a complimentary copy of the Collection containing their product.
  • We may offer coupon codes, discounts, and exclusive deals with partners as part of our promotions.

8) Marketing

  • We provide marketing assets, including banners, images in multiple sizes/styles, and swipe copy for social, email, and blogs.
  • You may create your own promotional graphics. They must be high quality; we reserve the right to request discontinuation if they do not meet Homeschool Resource Co. standards.
  • You are responsible for complying with all FTC mandates regarding affiliate link disclosures. Put the disclosure clearly next to the link, before it, in plain words (for example, “I earn a commission if you buy through my link”). A “link in bio” post needs the disclosure in the post itself, and videos need it spoken or on screen.
  • You may offer your own incentives to customers who purchase through your link; however, Homeschool Resource Co. cannot confirm whether a customer used your affiliate link for incentive verification.
  • All sale information (products, pricing, presale promotions) is confidential until we announce that sharing is permitted.
  • We ask (not require) that you send at least one email to your list and post at least three times on your farthest-reaching social platform (excluding Pinterest) during the sale you’re participating in. You acknowledge there is a direct relationship between your marketing efforts and your potential earnings.
  • Collection “value” amounts you share must use the figures HRC provides. Don’t make up or round up value totals.

9) Availability

Due to EU tax laws, Collections are not available for purchase in EU countries.

Homeschool Resource Co. operates under Digital Media Mama, LLC.

These terms are governed by Louisiana law, with disputes resolved in the courts located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. We will email participants at least thirty (30) days before material changes take effect. HRC’s total liability to an affiliate or contributor is limited to the commissions paid or owed to them in the prior twelve (12) months.
