Affiliate Registration
To register as an affiliate you must have an active Client Portal license, that you own, and have used for 31+ days.
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 Client Portal 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 sweet 30% commission when a customer purchases a new Client Portal license subscription using your referral link. Here’s the breakdown of earnings by each license level we sell:
Single Site license sells for $199 – you earn $59.70
Multi Site license sells for $399 – you earn $119.70
We pay out affiliate commissions in USD via PayPal in the first week of every month. As we have a 30-day money back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days. There’s no minimum or maximum payout balance, so go nuts!
We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.
Here are the details of our program in summary:
-
- To register as an affiliate you must have an active Client Portal license that you own (i.e. you may not use a client’s Client Portal license)
- You must have held that license for 31+ days
- You’ll receive 30% commission for every new sale you refer
- No minimum or maximum payout (we pay in USD)
- Commissions older than 30 days will be paid within the first week of each month
- Referrals are paid out via PayPal
- 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 Client Portal, 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 30 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout. 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.
-
-

These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the Client Portal affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote Client Portal. As an affiliate you may be privy to embargoed or time-sensitive information in these emails (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted). And we won’t spam you, ever – promise!

Dormant affiliate accounts
Please don’t leave us! We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote Client Portal to keep earning referrals. If we can help you come up with ideas on how to promote Client Portal, please let us know – we’re here for you! An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. A dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated if no visits have been generated after 6 months. But we don’t even want to go there right now, right?! Let’s work together to help you start earning some cash!
Client Portal Affiliate Program Policies
Allowed and super cool promotional methods
How you promote Client Portal is reflected in the commission you earn! We encourage the use of promotional methods that add value to Client Portal and bring us legitimate, loyal customers. We love it when our team of affiliates blog about affiliate marketing and mention Client Portal.
Here are a few examples of awesome promotional methods to earn more commission:
-
-
-
- Tell clients, customers or friends about Client Portal, and give them your affiliate referral link
- Write a review or a blog post about affiliate marketing or Client Portal and link to our site with your referral link
- Reach out to a broad audience with your social network accounts. Tweet about us on Twitter with your affiliate referral link, post about us on Facebook with your affiliate link, or communicate to your Linkedin followers about affiliate marketing with your affiliate link. Spam-free promotion is a great way to get more referrals!
- Provide value to others by answering related questions on other sites with helpful responses, and using your referral link in your replies.

Prohibited and super uncool promotional methods
We love and back our product 100%, and we are very careful with how it’s promoted, so we want affiliates who are 100% behind us too! The prohibited promotional methods listed below aren’t meant to scare you off – they’re here to protect you, and us, and our customers from any freaky or fraudulent activity, which is something we take pretty seriously. We know you’ll understand. ???? But here they are in writing just in case you’re not totally sure what is and what isn’t allowed.
Client Portal may not be promoted on coupon sites
Customers who are searching for a coupon are already in the market for Client Portal, so this method adds no value to Client Portal.
Any type of spam is prohibited
Links, ads, emails, comments… any type of spam. Please respect the posting rules of any 3rd-party websites you use to promote Client Portal. P.S. This is not an exhaustive list of spam methods; if we decide that your activity is spam, it’s spam.
Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited
This may result in referrals being rejected and/or your affiliate account being deactivated. See above for allowed and super cool promotional methods!
We’re flattered, but please don’t pretend to be professionally associated with Client Portal.
Affiliates aren’t employees of Client Portal or Laurium Design Ltd and have no employee rights. Pretending to actually be Client Portal is 1000% prohibited Cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official Client Portal site is unethical and prohibited (this includes using services that automatically clone websites, or place them into iframes). Again, false promotion to customers that you are endorsed or operated by Client Portal is prohibited (and super uncool). If you’re unsure or concerned that some activity you’re about to proceed with may be considered prohibited, please ask us. ????
Consequences of not-cool promotional methods
If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your referrals may be rejected and we may disable your affiliate account. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you in the instance that this occurs. Please use allowed promotional methods, and help us to help you succeed as an affiliate!
Inappropriate websites
The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.
The important stuff
By accepting these terms and conditions you are providing your nonlegal agreement to abide by them. By registering and being approved as an affiliate in our affiliate program you agree that your commissions are subject to approval before they are accepted and subsequently paid.
The affiliate relationship does not represent a professional or formal agreement, and as an affiliate you are not an employee of Client Portal or Laurium Design Ltd. You agree that this is not a legally binding relationship and as a result may not take legal action against Client Portal and Laurium Design Ltd. These affiliate terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
Phew! Sound good? Great! Thanks for taking the time to read through these T’s and C’s and for agreeing to them. We can’t wait to have you on board!
