Creative Fires Studio Inc. Affiliate Agreement

This agreement is designed with you in mind, as well as to protect Creative Fires Studio, Inc. and our customers.

Affiliate Registration

We review and moderate all affiliate registrations, and we appreciate your accurate and honest information. Please note that the review process may take a few days – we know you are eager to join our team of affiliates, and we appreciate your patience!

If you’re approved, awesome! You’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote Creative Fires Studio, Inc. via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for visits and referrals information, creatives, graphs and more!

Commissions and payouts

You’ll earn a commission when a customer purchases or commissions artwork from Creative Fires Studio, Inc. using your referral link, or designates you as their referrer at the time of purchase if the transaction does not take place on www.jeffreyhdean.com. The standard commission is 10%, though this may vary for specific products, situations, or affiliates.

We pay affiliate commissions in USD directly to your bank account or debit card in the first week of every month. As we have a 7-day money-back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 7 days from the delivery of the product. The minimum payout balance is $50.00, so you receive a decent chunk of cash when payouts come around. And there’s no maximum payout balance, so don’t hesitate to promote us!

In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payouts service.

We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.

We only pay commissions for purchased or commissioned artwork created by Jeffrey H. Dean. This referral program excludes artwork by Ranja v. Dean, and bookings for Dean Family Farm and Art Studios tours.

Here are the details of our program in summary:

You’ll receive a commission for every new sale you refer

Minimum payout balance of $50.00, and no maximum payout (we pay in USD)

Commissions older than 7 days will be paid within the first week of each month

Referrals are paid out to your bank account or debit card

Referrals cannot be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).

Referral cookie lifetime

When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for a generous 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase from Creative Fires Studio, Inc., or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)

The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Refunded purchases

Referrals older than 7 days from the date of delivery and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout (if the commission balance totals $50.00 or over). If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:

The sale that the referral was based on was refunded

The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.
