Affiliate Terms

Last updated: 10 November 2026

These Affiliate Terms are an agreement between you and Raff Technologies LLC, 30 N Gould St #48506, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801, United States ("Raff", "we", "us" and "our"). Raff Technologies LLC runs the program for affiliates in every country, including Türkiye, whichever company your Raff account contracts with under our Terms of Service.

These terms cover the Raff affiliate program. Section 19 also covers the referral credit that every Raff customer can earn without joining it. They add to our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy, which keep applying to your Raff account. Where these terms and the Terms of Service differ about the program, these terms apply.

You accept these terms when you send your application to the affiliate program. Section 19 is part of the Terms of Service you accept when you sign up. If you apply for a company, you confirm that you may bind it, and "you" means that company.

1. Words We Use

  • Dashboard: your Raff dashboard. Its Refer and Earn page shows your link, your rates, your Customers, your commission and your payouts.
  • Referral link: a link to our websites that carries your referral code. Your code is your account code, or a second code we give you.
  • Customer: a person or company that becomes your referral under section 3.
  • Payment: money a Customer pays us, by card, bank transfer, crypto or from their account balance.
  • Commission: the share of a Payment you earn under section 5.
  • Program rate, partner rate and customer rate: the rates in section 4.
  • In writing: by email from a rafftechnologies.com address, or shown in your dashboard.
  • Dates: we run the program in Türkiye time (UTC+3). A date we set, such as the start of a rate, begins at 00:00 Türkiye time on that day.

2. Joining the Program

2.1 Who can join. You need a Raff account in good standing, and you must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. A person or company may have only one affiliate account.

2.2 Your application. You apply from your dashboard and tell us where and to whom you will promote Raff. Your answers must be true and complete, and you must tell us if they change in a way that matters, for example a new main channel. We read every application and decide at our discretion. We email you our answer, with the reason if we decline. You can apply again 30 days after a decline.

2.3 Checks. We may ask you at any time to confirm who you are, who owns the websites and channels you promote on, the business you run, or how you promote Raff, including your ads and where your traffic comes from. We may hold your payouts until you answer.

2.4 Personal approval. Your approval is personal to you. You cannot sell, transfer or share it, your referral link or your commission.

3. Your Link and Who Becomes Your Customer

3.1 How a referral is recorded. A person becomes your Customer when they click your referral link and sign up for a new Raff account within 90 days of that click, on the same browser. If they clicked the links of more than one referrer, the last click wins. We record the referral when the new account is created, and it then stays fixed, except under 3.4 and 3.5.

3.2 New customers only. We record a referral only for a new Raff account that is less than 7 days old and has not paid us before. These do not become your Customers: existing customers; people or companies that had a Raff account in the 12 months before; people already in talks with our sales team; and accounts already referred by someone else. A Customer is the referral of one referrer only. Payments for resources or projects moved into the new account from another Raff account earn nothing.

3.3 Tracking. Referrals depend on a cookie and on what the visitor's browser allows. If the visitor blocks or clears cookies, signs up on another browser or device, or our tracking fails, a referral may not be recorded. We work to record every referral, but we do not guarantee it, and no commission is owed on a referral we did not record.

3.4 Referrals that do not count. A referral does not count, even after it was recorded, when the Customer:

  • is you, your company, a member of your household, or an account you own, control or pay for;
  • shares a payment card, device, email address or sign-up address with you;
  • signed up with a throwaway email address;
  • is an internal Raff account; or
  • is banned, or is closed or flagged by us for fraud or abuse.

We may also decide that a referral does not count when the Customer signs up from the same IP address or network as you, or through a VPN or proxy that hides where they are. We may void a referral that does not count at any time, together with its commission that has not been paid. If commission on it was already paid, section 6.3 applies.

3.5 Corrections. Our records decide who referred a Customer. We may correct a referral that was recorded by mistake, by moving it to the right referrer or removing it. If you believe a referral is missing or wrong, tell us within 30 days of the Customer's sign-up, with the details you have. After that our records are final.

4. Commission Rates

4.1 Product groups. Each product group has its own rate:

  • Servers, Linux and Windows
  • Managed databases
  • Apps
  • Kubernetes
  • Everything else, including object storage, volumes, IPs, VPN, Functions, backups and snapshots

Software licences we pass on, such as Windows Server and Remote Desktop (RDS) user licences, earn no commission.

4.2 Program rates. The program rates apply to every affiliate. The current program rate for each group is shown in your dashboard under Refer and Earn, before you apply and while you are in the program.

4.3 Custom rates. We may agree a different rate with you:

  • a partner rate: your own rate for one or more product groups; or
  • a customer rate: a rate for one of your Customers, for one product group or for everything that Customer buys.

A custom rate is valid only when we agree it in writing and it is shown in your dashboard. Nobody at Raff can agree a custom rate by chat or phone alone. When we agree one, we tell you the rate, the product groups or Customer it covers, its start date and, if it has them, its end date and conditions.

  • Start. A custom rate applies to Payments made on or after its start date, never to earlier Payments.
  • End date. A custom rate with an end date applies until that date. From then on, the rate that would otherwise apply is used again: the program rate, or another custom rate we agree.
  • No end date. A custom rate without an end date continues until we change or end it. We email you at least 30 days before we lower or end it. We can raise it at any time.
  • Conditions. A custom rate may depend on conditions we agree, for example a number of new paying Customers or an amount of Payments in a period. If a condition is not met, we may end the custom rate from the date the condition sets or, if it sets none, with 30 days' notice by email.
  • Early end. We may end a custom rate at once if you break these terms or we suspend your affiliate account.
  • Which rate wins. For a Payment, a customer rate comes first, then your partner rate, then the program rate. Where two rates of the same kind apply, the one that started last is used.
  • What it changes. A custom rate changes only the percentage. The 12 months, the hold, the payout rules and everything else in these terms stay the same, unless a written agreement signed by both of us says otherwise.
  • Mistakes. If your dashboard shows a custom rate that differs from what we agreed, tell us within 30 days of its start date and we will correct it. After that, your dashboard decides.
  • Confidential. Your custom rates and their conditions are confidential (section 12).

4.4 Which rate a Payment earns. A Payment earns the rate that applies to its product group on the day the Payment is made. Commission keeps the rate it was earned at, even if the rate changes later.

4.5 Changes to program rates. We can change the program rates for future Payments. Your dashboard shows a new rate from the day it starts. We email you at least 30 days before a lower program rate starts. A higher rate can start at any time.

5. What Earns Commission

5.1 How long. You earn on a Customer's Payments for 12 months from their first Payment. The first Payment must come within 12 months of the Customer's sign-up, or the referral earns nothing.

5.2 What counts. Commission is calculated on the money a Customer actually pays us for Raff products:

  • without tax, such as VAT or sales tax;
  • after discounts, coupons and offers;
  • not on free, promotional, referral or service credit, or on the part of a Payment such credit paid for; and
  • a top-up of the account balance earns nothing when it is added, and earns when the Customer spends it on products.

5.3 What does not earn. No commission is earned on:

  • a Payment that fails, is reversed or is never received;
  • Windows Server, Remote Desktop (RDS) and other software licences;
  • Payments made while your affiliate account is suspended, or after you leave the program or it ends;
  • Payments under a separate contract we negotiate directly with the Customer, for example a custom enterprise agreement, unless we agree in writing that they earn; or
  • Payments by a Customer whose referral does not count under 3.4.

5.4 Rounding. Commission is worked out per Payment and product group and rounded to the cent.

5.5 Corrections. Your dashboard shows commission as our system records it. We may correct errors either way. A correction in your favour is added to your commission. A correction against you is taken back as in 6.3.

6. Hold and Money Given Back

6.1 Hold. Commission is pending for 30 days after the Payment. It then becomes approved and can be paid.

6.2 Money given back. If money goes back to a Customer, we take back the commission on that money, at the rate it earned. This includes a refund, a chargeback or payment dispute, a voided invoice, and a credit to their account balance when they delete or downsize a product.

6.3 How we take it back. If the commission is not paid yet, we reduce or cancel it. If it was already paid, the amount comes off your next payouts. If your commission does not cover it within 90 days, or you have left the program, you repay it within 30 days of our request. We may also take it off any other amount we owe you.

6.4 Suspected fraud. If we have good reason to believe that a Payment or referral involves fraud, abuse or a breach of these terms, we may hold its commission while we check, and void it if we confirm. If it was already paid, 6.3 applies.

7. Payouts

7.1 When. We pay once a month, by the 7th, when your approved commission is $50 or more. A smaller amount carries over to the next month.

7.2 Before your first payout. You must give us:

  • payout details in your own name, or your company's name if you applied as a company. We do not pay third parties; and
  • a tax form: a W-9 if you are a United States person, or a W-8BEN (W-8BEN-E for a company) if you are not.

We hold payouts until we have both, and until any check under 2.3 is complete.

7.3 How we pay. In US dollars by bank transfer, or in USDT on the TRC-20 network at one USDT for each US dollar. Fees charged by your bank, an intermediary bank, your exchange or your wallet are yours, and may reduce what arrives.

7.4 Your payout details. Keep your payout details correct in your dashboard. A transfer to the details you gave us counts as paid. USDT transfers cannot be reversed. If a transfer comes back to us, we send it again once you correct your details, less any fees the failed transfer cost us.

7.5 Commission we cannot pay. If you have not given us valid payout details and a tax form within 12 months after commission becomes approved, or a payout comes back and we cannot reach you within 12 months, that commission lapses, to the extent the law allows.

7.6 Sanctions. You confirm that you, your company and its owners are not on a sanctions list of the United States, the European Union or the United Nations, and you will tell us at once if that changes. We do not pay anyone, or to any country, region, bank or wallet, where the payment would break the sanctions or export control laws of the United States or another law that applies to us. This includes anyone on a United States sanctions list. We may hold or refuse a payout for this reason, and commission we cannot lawfully pay is not owed.

7.7 Taxes. You are responsible for the taxes on what you earn. We may report payouts to tax authorities as the law requires. If the law requires us to withhold tax, we pay you what is left after withholding.

7.8 Questions about a payout. Tell us within 30 days of a payout if you think it is wrong. After that, the payout and its statement in your dashboard are final.

7.9 Money, not credit. Commission is paid as money. It is not added to your account balance, and it cannot be used to pay your Raff invoices unless we agree in writing.

8. How You May Promote Raff

8.1 You must:

  • say clearly that you earn from your link wherever you share it, as the laws where you and your audience are require, for example the endorsement rules of the US Federal Trade Commission;
  • describe Raff, our products and our prices truthfully, and offer only what Raff offers. Prices and offers change, so link to our pricing page rather than promise a price. Do not call Raff free unless the offer you describe is;
  • claim experience with Raff only if you really had it, and say nothing false about other companies or their products;
  • follow every law that applies to your promotion, including the laws on advertising, consumer protection, privacy, cookies and electronic messages;
  • use our name and logo only as provided in the brand kit in your dashboard, and only to promote Raff; and
  • change or remove any content about Raff within 5 days when we ask.

8.2 You must not:

  • bid on "Raff", "Raff Technologies", "rafftechnologies", our product names or close misspellings in search or social media ads, alone or with other words such as "review", "coupon" or "promo", or use them in ad text, display URLs, domain names, app names or social media account names;
  • publish pages made mainly to catch searches for Raff, such as copied, machine-written or "Raff coupon" pages;
  • present yourself as Raff, our support, or an official partner or reseller, or suggest that you speak for us, unless we agree in writing;
  • send spam or unsolicited messages of any kind, or use bought or rented contact lists;
  • list your link or code on coupon, deal, cashback or rebate sites, or promise a discount, credit or offer that Raff does not offer;
  • give or promise a Customer any part of your commission, cash or another reward for clicking or signing up;
  • create clicks or sign-ups by bots, scripts, hidden frames, pop-ups, forced redirects, cookie stuffing, browser extensions, adware or any other artificial means;
  • place your link in Raff's own channels, such as our websites, documentation, community, social media posts, support conversations or reviews of Raff;
  • publish fake reviews, or reviews you were paid or rewarded for without saying so;
  • promote Raff next to content that is illegal, sexual, hateful, violent, deceptive or infringing, or to people under 18;
  • let others promote Raff under your link, or pay others to do it for you, unless we agree in writing;
  • refer yourself, your own other accounts or accounts you pay for, or open accounts for other people; or
  • resell Raff products under your own name, unless we agree in writing.

A breach of 8.2 is a serious breach of these terms (section 10.3).

9. Our Brand

We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the names, logos and badges in the brand kit in your dashboard, only to promote Raff under these terms. You may not change them or combine them with other marks. All rights in our brand, and its goodwill, stay with us. The licence ends when you leave the program or your affiliate account ends, and you must then remove our brand from your materials within 14 days.

10. Suspension and Ending

10.1 Leaving. You can leave the program at any time by writing to [email protected].

10.2 Ending by us. We can end your affiliate account for any reason with 30 days' notice by email.

10.3 Suspension or ending for a breach. If you break these terms, or we have good reason to suspect fraud, abuse or a legal risk, we can suspend or end your affiliate account at once. We email you the reason. When we suspend you, all your commission that has not been paid is voided, and Payments made while you are suspended earn nothing. If we reactivate you, you earn again on Payments made from that day. Voided commission is not restored unless we decide otherwise.

10.4 What you are paid at the end. When you leave, or we end your affiliate account without a breach, we pay your approved commission with the next payout if it is $50 or more. Commission still pending on the last day, and an approved amount under $50, lapse. Payments made after the last day earn nothing, including from Customers you referred before.

10.5 Ending for a breach. When we end your affiliate account for a breach, all commission not yet paid is void, and you repay commission we paid on referrals or Payments that broke these terms.

10.6 Inactivity. We may close an affiliate account that has had no clicks and no commission for 12 months, after an email to you.

10.7 Your Raff account. Ending your affiliate account does not end your Raff account or products, unless you have also broken the Terms of Service or the Acceptable Use Policy.

11. Changes to These Terms and the Program

We can change these terms or the program. We email you at least 15 days before a change takes effect, or 30 days before a lower program rate (4.5) or the end of the program. A change needed for legal, security or fraud reasons can take effect at once. We post the new version on this page with its date. A change applies from the day it takes effect and never changes commission already earned. If you do not agree with a change, you can leave the program before it takes effect. If you stay, you accept it.

If we end the program, we pay approved commission of $50 or more under section 7, unless section 10.5 applies.

12. Confidential Information

Your custom rates and their conditions, and anything else we share with you that is not public, such as plans or prices before we announce them, are confidential. Share them only with your own advisers who must keep them confidential, or where the law requires. This continues for 2 years after you leave the program. You may share your own earnings.

13. Your Information and Your Customers

To run the program we keep your application, payout details and tax form, as our Privacy Policy describes. We use them to review you, pay you, prevent fraud and meet our legal and tax duties. We share them only with those who help us do that, such as banks and payment providers, and with tax authorities when the law requires.

Your Customers are Raff's customers. Their contract is with Raff, and support, billing and decisions about their accounts are ours. You see your Customers only in masked form, and you must not try to find out who they are through the program. You are responsible for any personal data you collect in your own promotion.

14. No Guarantee

The program, the dashboard and tracking are provided "as is". We do not promise any number of clicks, sign-ups or Customers, any level of earnings, or that the program will run without interruption.

15. Liability and Indemnity

15.1 Our liability. Our total liability to you for all claims about the program is limited to the commission we paid you in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue or goodwill. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

15.2 Your indemnity. You will defend Raff, the companies under common ownership with it and their staff against any claim arising from your promotion, your content, your breach of these terms, or your breach of a law or of anyone's rights, and pay the losses, fines and costs, including reasonable legal fees, that result.

16. Our Relationship

You are an independent business, not our employee, agent, franchisee or legal partner. You cannot make promises or sign anything on our behalf. You pay your own costs. The program is not exclusive: we may work with other affiliates, including in your market, and Customers may also come to us in other ways.

17. General

  • Whole agreement. These terms, the Terms of Service, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Privacy Policy and any custom rate we agree in writing are the whole agreement about the program. A written agreement signed by both of us applies where it differs from these terms.
  • Notices. We send notices to the email address of your Raff account. Keep it current: a notice sent to it counts as received. You send notices to [email protected].
  • Transfer. You cannot transfer these terms. We can transfer them to a company under common ownership with us, or to whoever takes over our business.
  • No waiver. If we do not enforce a term at once, we can still enforce it later.
  • Severability. If part of these terms is invalid, the rest stays in effect.
  • Force majeure. Section 16 of the Terms of Service applies to the program.
  • Survival. Sections 6, 7.5 to 7.8, 10.4, 10.5, 12, 15, 17 and 18 continue to apply after you leave the program.
  • Language. These terms are written in English. If we offer a translation, the English version applies.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA. Before starting a dispute, write to us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to resolve it. Disputes about the program are resolved by binding arbitration in Wyoming under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, as section 15 of the Terms of Service describes for Raff Technologies LLC, and you waive any right to take part in a class action. A claim about the program must be brought within one year of the event it is about. Either of us may still ask a court for an urgent order to protect its brand or confidential information.

19. Refer a Friend Credit

This section applies to every Raff customer who shares their referral link, including customers who are not affiliates. Whether a referral earns credit or commission is fixed when the friend signs up: commission if you were an approved affiliate then, credit if you were not.

  • Who counts. Your friend must become your referral under sections 3.1 to 3.5.
  • When you get credit. Once your friend has spent the amount shown on your Refer and Earn page of their own money, counted as in 5.2 and less money given back to them, and their account is 30 days old, we add the credit amount shown on that page to your Raff account balance.
  • Yearly cap. You can earn credit up to the yearly cap shown on that page in each calendar year. A friend who qualifies after you reach the cap gives no credit.
  • What credit is. Credit pays for Raff products. It cannot be paid out as cash or moved to another account, and it ends when your account is closed.
  • Your friend. Your friend gets no credit from your referral. They get the offers every new customer gets.
  • Taking credit back. We may take back credit given for a referral that does not count under 3.4, or that came from a breach of section 8.2, also if you have already spent it.
  • Changes. We can change the amounts, the cap or this credit, or end it, for future referrals. The Refer and Earn page always shows the current amounts.
