1. Creator Referral Program
Overview
The Creator Referral Program allows existing Fantra Creators to earn a commission by referring new creators to join the platform . When you refer someone and they become a successful Creator on Fantra, you earn a bonus based on their earnings. This is Fantra’s way of saying thank you for helping us find new talent.
Eligibility and Conduct
To participate as a Referrer (the person who refers):
You must have an active, verified Creator account in good standing . (Suspended or banned users cannot refer others.)
You cannot refer yourself or any account you control or have a major financial interest in . “Self-referrals” are strictly disallowed – e.g. you cannot make a second account and refer it, nor refer your spouse or business partner if the intent is to game the system. Fantra may require verification that referred creators are truly independent from you .
Use only legal and ethical methods to share your referral link . You will be given a unique referral link or code. You may share it on social media, your website, or directly with potential creators. However, you are not allowed to engage in spam or misleading advertising. Paid search ads (e.g. Google Ads) using Fantra’s brand or your referral link are prohibited unless you obtain prior written permission from Fantra . Also, do not post your link in places where it’s unwelcome (such as random comment sections or forums in a spammy way).
The referred person must sign up using your referral link for the attribution to count . The link uses cookies and session tracking – if a person clicks your referral link and then creates an account in that same browser session, the system will attribute them to you. Note that if they switch browsers or devices or significantly delay signup, the link might not track. Ensure they complete the process promptly or ask you for a fresh link if needed.
No Prior Relationship Exploitation: The referral program is intended to bring in new creators who would not otherwise have joined. If you have a close personal or business relationship with someone who becomes a creator, referring them might be considered a form of self-dealing (for example, an agency referring its own clients). Fantra reserves the right to deny referral commissions if we determine the referred creator wasn’t truly “new” or independent from the referrer . We may ask for confirmation that the referral is bona fide. This doesn’t mean you can’t refer friends, it’s fine to refer friends! It’s meant to stop scenarios like a studio splitting into multiple accounts just to refer each other.
Referral Commission
When you successfully refer a new Creator:
Commission Rate and Period: You will earn 5% of that creator’s earnings from fan payments (their gross earnings before Fantra’s cut) for the first 36 months of their activity on Fantra . The 36-month period starts from the date the referred creator registers or from when they first earn money (Fantra uses the registration date in general). After 36 months, no further referral commissions will accrue from that creator.
Earnings Cap: There is a maximum cap of $50,000 USD in total referral commissions you can earn per each referred creator . This means if 5% of their earnings reaches $50,000 before 36 months, you won’t earn above $50,000 on that person. The cap ensures Fantra can sustain this program and is quite high (it implies your referred creator would have earned $1,000,000 for you to hit the cap).
Source of Commission: The referral commission is paid out of Fantra’s Platform Fee, not from the referred creator’s share . The referred creator does not lose any earnings because you referred them – Fantra effectively shares a slice of its revenue with you.
Payout of Commission: Referral commissions are credited to your Creator Balance, labelled as a distinct category (e.g. “REFERRAL”) . They are not subject to platform fees themselves (since they are already a portion of fees) . These commissions become part of your withdrawable earnings, subject to the usual pending period and payout processes . You must comply with all normal payout and tax rules on referral income.
Refunds/Chargebacks Impact: If a transaction by the referred creator’s fan is refunded or charged back, the referral commission associated with that transaction will be deducted from your balance as well. For example, if a fan spent $100 on the new creator and later got a refund, and you had earned $5 from that, your $5 will be debited to mirror the refund. Fantra only pays commissions on successful, completed transactions.
Multiple Referrers: Only one referrer can get credit for a new creator – whichever referral link was used for sign-up. If two people claim to have referred someone, Fantra will only honour the tracked link in our system or any official invitation system in place.
2. Creator Affiliate Program
Overview
The Creator Affiliate Program allows Creators to earn commission by promoting another creator’s content via special affiliate links . This is essentially an internal sponsorship system: one creator (the “Promoted Creator”) offers a commission to other creators (“Affiliates” or “Promoting Creators”) who send new fans to them. For example, Creator A can say “I’ll give 10% of my earnings to anyone who brings me subscribers,” and Creator B can share Creator A’s affiliate link; when fans sign up to A through that link, Creator B earns a cut of what those fans spend on A. This program is optional and driven by creators themselves through our affiliate platform.
Programme Structure
Affiliate Offers: A Creator who wishes to be promoted (the Promoted Creator) will create an affiliate offer in Fantra’s system . The offer will specify the percentage commission they are willing to give and possibly other terms (like which content to promote). For instance, an offer might be “Promote me and earn 10% of any new subscribers’ payments for their first 3 months.” Promoted Creators can set the commission percentage (subject to any platform minimum or maximum).
Joining Offers: All active creators can browse available affiliate offers in the Affiliate section of the platform. If you see an offer you like, you can accept it and become a Promoting Affiliate for that creator . There is no exclusive pairing, multiple creators can promote the same person, and you can promote multiple others, etc. Offers are generally public to all (unless Fantra introduces private or invite-only offers in the future). When you accept an offer, the system generates a unique affiliate tracking link for you to use to promote that creator .
Tracking Mechanism: When you share the affiliate link and a fan (user) clicks it, the system attributes that fan to you if they eventually spend on the Promoted Creator’s content . Specifically:
If the user was logged out when clicking the link, a cookie is placed in their browser. If they then sign up and purchase from the Promoted Creator within the cookie’s validity, you get credit .
If the user was already logged in to Fantra when clicking, the system immediately records the affiliate attribution to their account .
Attribution typically has an expiration (for example, a cookie might last 30 days). The details will be in the affiliate platform UI. If a fan already follows the Promoted Creator or is already subscribed, new attribution may not occur to avoid conflicts.
Scope of Commission: Once linked, an affiliate attribution means you earn commission on all spending that referred fan does on the Promoted Creator’s profile for a certain time . Usually this includes initial subscription, renewals, pay-per-view purchases, tips, etc., as long as within the program terms. It might be time-limited or for the life of that fan’s engagement, depending on how the offer is configured. The Promoted Creator defines this in the offer (with Fantra’s platform enforcing it).
Earnings and Payment
Commission Source: Affiliate commissions are paid out of the Promoted Creator’s earnings, not from Fantra’s fee . Essentially, the Promoted Creator is sharing a slice of their revenue with you in exchange for bringing in the fan. For example, if a fan spends $100 on the Promoted Creator, and the Promoted Creator set a 10% affiliate commission, then $10 would go to you (the Affiliate) and the Promoted Creator would keep $70 (assuming 80% base share) instead of $80. Fantra’s fee remains the same; it’s the creator’s share that’s split.
Commission Calculation: The commission is calculated on the full value of the fan’s payments to the Promoted Creator before platform fees . Using the above example, 10% of $100 = $10 to affiliate, and the Promoted Creator’s remaining $90 gets the usual 80/20 split with Fantra (so Promoted Creator gets $72, Fantra $18, out of the $90). In effect, the Promoted Creator’s net is reduced by the affiliate cut. This approach ensures affiliates are rewarded fairly without double-dipping fees.
Crediting and Labelling: Your affiliate commissions will show up in your Creator Balance labelled as “AFFILIATION” or similar . They undergo the same pending period as normal earnings (to allow for refunds and verification) . After the pending period, they become withdrawable just like your other earnings . No platform fee is taken from the commission itself (since it was post-fee to begin with) .
No Platform Fee on Commission: Fantra does not take an additional cut from affiliate commissions; the Promoted Creator is effectively paying it out of their share, and Fantra’s fee was already applied on the original fan payment . So if you earn $10 affiliate commission, you will be able to withdraw that $10 (subject to any tax withholding if applicable).
Changes and Revocation: Currently, once you accept an affiliate offer and begin promoting, the Promoted Creator cannot remove your affiliation for existing referred fans . If you refer a fan under that offer, you’re locked in to get the commissions as promised, even if the Promoted Creator later wishes to stop the program. They can, however, discontinue the offer to new affiliates or change terms for future acceptances. In future, Fantra may introduce functionality for creators to pause or cancel affiliate partnerships, but it will not be retroactive for already-referred fans without good cause.
Affiliate Limitations: You should only use your affiliate link for its intended purpose: attracting genuine new fans to the Promoted Creator. You cannot earn commission on your own spending (you can’t refer yourself as a fan), and you shouldn’t try to game the system (like making fake fan accounts). Such behaviour is fraud and will result in losing commissions and possibly account termination.
Promotion Standards
When promoting another creator via the Affiliate Program, you must adhere to the following standards :
Lawful Promotion: All methods you use to promote must comply with applicable laws and advertising regulations . This means no false advertising, no misleading claims about the other creator, and obey any platform rules where you advertise (for example, if you promote on Instagram or Twitter, follow their terms and community guidelines).
Disclosure: You must disclose that your promotion is incentivised or sponsored. This is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions (truth-in-advertising rules). Use clear tags or language, such as #ad, #Affiliate, or statements like “I earn a commission when you subscribe” . Transparency builds trust with audiences and keeps us all compliant.
Prohibited Promotion Tactics: When promoting, you must NOT:
Impersonate Fantra or the Promoted Creator in a misleading way . You cannot, for instance, run an ad that looks like it’s officially from Fantra or from the creator themselves if it’s not.
Engage in spammy behaviour, such as bulk unsolicited messaging or using bots to spread your affiliate link . Quality of traffic matters; spam or click-fraud will get you removed from the program .
Violate any of Fantra’s content policies in your promotional content . For example, you cannot make a promo post that includes hate speech or NSFW material that breaks the Acceptable Use Policy. Also, comply with the Creator Advertising & Promotion Policy (which covers how creators can advertise their accounts) . Essentially, keep your promos professional and within all guidelines.
Platform Oversight: Fantra reserves the right to review affiliate promotions and require changes or remove you from the program if your marketing is harmful or violates rules . We want promotions to be beneficial and not bring the platform into disrepute. If you’re ever unsure whether a marketing tactic is allowed, please ask us first.
3. Enforcement, Termination & Amendments
Violation Consequences: If you violate these Referral/Affiliate Terms or any related policy, Fantra may suspend or terminate your participation in these programs immediately . This could include forfeiture of any pending referral or affiliate commissions if the earnings were a result of fraud or policy breaches. For example, if we discover you referred “fake” creators or engaged in referral fraud, we will not pay out those bonuses and may ban you from further participation.
Grounds for Removal: Fantra may remove a user from the Referral or Affiliate Program for reasons including (but not limited to) :
Breach of any platform rule or any law in connection with the programs.
Suspected fraud, impersonation, or self-dealing, such as referrals that appear to be the same person or a coordinated scheme .
Any activity that compromises platform integrity or user safety. For instance, if your promotions are generating a lot of complaints or attracting bots, we may intervene .
No Agency Relationship: Participating in these programs does not make you an employee, agent, or partner of Fantra . You are an independent participant. You cannot speak on behalf of Fantra or incur obligations on behalf of Fantra. The programs are simply a contractual commission arrangement.
Program Changes or Termination: Fantra reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Referral Program and/or Affiliate Program at any time . While we plan to keep these incentives in place, business circumstances or regulatory changes might necessitate changes. We may adjust commission rates, durations, caps, or other features. We will update these terms and notify users through the legal policy page and/or direct communication if significant changes occur . If a program is discontinued, any commissions already accrued will still be honoured, but no new commissions will accrue. We will attempt to give advance notice if practicable.
Amendments to Terms: These Referral & Affiliate Terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be published on the Fantra policies site (with an “updated” date). If changes are significant (e.g. reducing commission rates or adding restrictions), we will provide notice either by email or in-app notification, in accordance with our general Terms of Service obligations to inform you of policy changes . Continued participation in the programs after an update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
By participating in the Fantra Referral or Affiliate Program, you agree to all the above terms. We encourage you to act in good faith and help grow the Fantra community responsibly. If you have any questions about how these programs work or what is allowed, please reach out to our support team or consult the detailed FAQ in our Help Center.
