Partner Terms
These are the terms of the affiliate partner programme run by DD LABS LTD (Company Number: 16565063), trading as The Table Plan (“we”, “us” or “our”).
They apply to you as a partner (“you” or “your”): someone who shares a link to The Table Plan and is paid commission on the sales it brings in.
This is a separate agreement from our Terms of Service, which govern buying and using the product. If you also buy The Table Plan, both apply to you: these terms for what you earn, the Terms of Service for what you bought.
1. Joining the programme
You apply by writing to us. We review every application by hand and we do not have to accept one. If we do, we issue you a partner link and an account you can sign in to, where you can see what you have earned.
To be paid you need a bank account in one of the countries we can send money to. That list is on our partners page and can change as our payment provider adds or removes countries. If we cannot pay in your country, we will tell you before you start rather than after.
2. Your link, and how a sale is credited to you
Your link carries your partner code in the web address, as ?via=YOURCODE.
- The last link followed is the one that counts. If someone follows your link and then another partner's before signing up, the sale is credited to the other partner.
- Attribution happens at signup. The code travels from the page they landed on to the account they create. If they close the browser and come back later without following your link again, the sale is not credited to you.
- We do not use a tracking cookie for this today. Our Cookie Policy explains what we do and do not store. If we add one, we will update that policy and ask visitors for their consent first, and a longer window would then apply.
- One credit per account, permanently. An organisation is credited to one partner, and a later visit through a different link does not change it.
- A code we do not recognise credits nobody. Nothing tells the visitor that a code was wrong, and their signup works normally.
You may share your link anywhere section 6 permits. You must not alter it, hide the destination behind a shortener that misrepresents where it goes, or present it as anything other than a link to The Table Plan.
3. What you earn
Commission is 10% of the amount we actually settle on a sale made through your link, in GBP, and after any discount the buyer used. It is calculated on the amount net of any VAT.
Three things are worth saying plainly:
- The rate is recorded on each commission when it is earned. We can change the rate for the future, and we will tell you before we do. A change never rewrites what you have already earned: a sale earns the rate that was in force on the day it was made.
- You earn on the sale, not on the signup. Someone who creates an account and never buys earns nothing.
- We pay in GBP. If the buyer paid in another currency, the sale is converted to GBP before commission is worked out, so your balance is one number rather than eleven.
You earn nothing on your own purchases, on purchases by an account you control, or on a sale we have voided under section 5.
4. The hold, and when we pay
Every commission is held for 45 days from the date the sale was paid. Customers can request a refund within 30 days of purchase (Terms of Service, section 7.3), and a refund asked for on day 29 can take a few days to settle. Holding for 45 days means the refund window has closed with room to spare before the money leaves us. You can see the date each commission clears in your partner account.
Chargebacks are not covered by the hold. A card issuer can reverse a payment months later, and section 5 covers what happens then.
After the hold:
- We pay monthly, in arrears. Each cycle drafts what became payable in the previous calendar month.
- The minimum payout is £50.00. Below it your balance rolls forward to the next cycle rather than being lost. The minimum applies both to what you earned and to what would actually be sent after any adjustment under section 5.
- You tell us where to send it. Payouts go through Stripe, which collects your bank and identity details and runs its own checks. We cannot send anything until Stripe confirms it can pay you.
- A person reviews your first payout before it goes out. After that the cycle runs on its own.
5. Refunds, chargebacks and clawbacks
If a sale is refunded or charged back, the commission on it goes too.
- Before you have been paid, the commission is cancelled. If the buyer got part of their money back, your commission is reduced by the same proportion rather than cancelled outright.
- After you have been paid, we raise an adjustment for the amount that was reversed and take it off your next payouts until it is settled. A partial refund raises a partial adjustment. We do not ask you to send money back.
- An adjustment cannot make a payout negative. If it is larger than what you are owed this cycle, the rest carries forward to the next.
Your partner account shows any adjustment outstanding against you and what is being held against it. We will not leave you guessing about a balance that has stopped moving.
6. How you may not promote us
These rules exist because the traffic they describe costs us more than it earns, or takes credit for a sale we had already won. Breaking them is grounds for withholding commission and for ending this agreement under section 9.
You must not:
- Bid on our brand in paid search. No paid ads on “The Table Plan”, on misspellings of it, on our domain name, or on any term that is plainly an attempt to sit above our own listing.
- Use coupon, voucher or cashback sites. These intercept people who were already on their way to buying and add nothing. Listing your link on one is not permitted.
- Offer people something in return for clicking or buying. No cashback, points, prize entries, charity pledges or any other incentive attached to using your link.
- Send unsolicited messages. No bulk email to people who did not ask to hear from you, no unsolicited direct messages, no posting your link into forum threads, blog comments or reviews where it is off topic.
- Present yourself as us. No claiming to be The Table Plan, our staff or our support; no domain, social account or page name that could be mistaken for ours; no copying our site.
- Make claims we have not made. Do not invent prices, features, guarantees, awards, ratings or customer numbers, and do not describe the product as doing something it does not do. If you are not sure, ask us.
- Send automated or artificial traffic. No bots, click farms, pop-unders, forced clicks, or code that adds your link to a page without the reader following it.
- Place your link alongside adult, illegal, hateful or misleading content.
We may also ask you to stop using a specific placement, and you must do so within a reasonable time.
7. Telling people you are paid
You must make it clear that you are paid when someone buys through your link. This is a legal requirement, not a house rule.
- In the United Kingdom, the Advertising Standards Authority applies the CAP Code to affiliate content: a post, page, video or email that is paid for must be identifiable as advertising before anyone engages with it.
- In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guides require a clear and conspicuous disclosure of a material connection.
In practice that means the disclosure sits with the link, before it, in words a reader understands, and is not hidden behind a “more” link, buried in a footer, or written only in a hashtag among others. Plain words are enough, for example: “If you buy through this link I get a commission.”
If you are advertising in another country, its rules apply as well and it is your responsibility to meet them.
8. Tax
The commission we pay is the whole amount. It includes any VAT you have to account for. DD LABS LTD is not registered for VAT, so we do not add VAT to anything we pay you and we cannot pay VAT on top of your commission.
- If you are VAT registered, the VAT you owe on your commission is included in the amount we pay. Tell us your VAT number so we can record it.
- If you are outside the United Kingdom, we pay the same amount. Any UK tax on the service you provide is ours to deal with, and we do not deduct anything for it.
- If you are in the United States, Stripe handles the tax reporting that goes with your payouts. We do not produce tax forms.
You are responsible for declaring what you earn and paying whatever tax is due on it where you live. Nothing here is tax advice.
9. Suspension and ending this agreement
You can leave at any time. Tell us, and we will stop your link.
We can end this agreement at any time, by writing to you. We can also suspend your account while we look into something, which stops payouts until we are done.
If we end it, or you do:
- Your link stops crediting new sales.
- Commission you have already earned is still paid on the normal cycle, subject to the hold, the minimum and any adjustment.
- If we end it because of section 6, or because we have good reason to believe a sale was not genuine, we may withhold or reverse the commission connected to it. We will tell you which sales and why.
We will not withhold commission you earned honestly because the programme itself has closed.
10. Fraud
We look at the pattern of sales credited to a partner. Where a sale looks as though it was not the result of a genuine recommendation - the buyer and the partner appear to be the same person or household, an implausible burst of sales appears at once, or a purchase follows the click too closely to be a decision - we hold it for review rather than paying it automatically. A person makes the decision, and we tell you what we decided.
11. Your data, and your reader's
We hold your name, contact details, the country you are paid in and the record of what you earned. Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with it and the rights you have over it, including asking for a copy or asking us to delete it. Financial records are kept for as long as the law requires even after an account is closed.
You are responsible for anything you collect from your own readers, including any consent you need for it.
12. The relationship between us
You are an independent contractor. Nothing here makes you our employee, agent, partner in law, or joint venturer, and you cannot enter into anything on our behalf or hold yourself out as able to.
You may not transfer this agreement to anyone else without our written agreement.
13. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
Subject to that, our total liability to you under this agreement is limited to the commission payable to you in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of anticipated earnings, or any indirect or consequential loss.
The programme is provided as it is. We do not promise a level of traffic, a rate of conversion, or that the programme will continue.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. Where a change affects what you are paid or how you may promote us, we will tell you before it takes effect, and continuing to use your link after that date means you accept it.
A change to the commission rate applies only to sales made after it takes effect. See section 3.
15. Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
