Partner agreement and code of conduct

1. Joining

• Partners join by application. We approve applications at our discretion, and may decline any without giving a reason.
• Once approved, you get a partner code and link (usecasita.app/r/YOURCODE) and a partner page showing your numbers and earnings.
• You must be 18 or older. To be paid you need to live in the United States and have a US bank account; we’ll add countries over time.

2. You’re independent

You’re an independent contractor, not an employee, agent or representative of Casita. There are no quotas, required hours or exclusivity: you decide when and how to share Casita, within this agreement. You pay your own costs, and you can’t make promises or agreements on Casita’s behalf.

3. What you earn

• $25 for each household that starts with your code and makes its first yearly Casita Plus payment within 12 months of starting.
• 20% of what Casita receives for each later yearly renewal by that household, for as long as you’re an active partner. “What Casita receives” is the payment after Apple’s or Google’s commission and sales tax, as reported by our payments provider. If the commission isn’t reported, we treat it as 30%.
• Families who come through your link get two months free instead of one. They never pay more because of you.
• Monthly payments, free periods and test purchases don’t earn. Your own household, or households you control, never earn.
• Earnings wait 30 days after each payment. If a payment is refunded or charged back, its earnings are taken back, from future earnings if they were already paid.
• There’s no guarantee of any amount of earnings.

4. Getting paid

• We pay through Stripe once a month, when you’re owed $25 or more. You set up payouts with Stripe, which collects your identity, bank and tax details under its own terms; we never see your bank details.
• You’re responsible for your own taxes. Stripe may send you a Form 1099 if we pay you $600 or more in a year.

5. Telling people you’re a partner

US law (the FTC’s Endorsement Guides) and most platforms’ rules require you to disclose that you earn a commission. Every post, video, story, email or message about Casita must say so clearly, where people will see it before they tap: “#ad”, or “I earn a commission if you subscribe”. Use the platform’s paid-partnership label where there is one. Only say what you honestly think, from your own use of Casita.

6. Code of conduct

• Real people, honest words. No spam, cold mass messaging, fake accounts, bought followers, clicks or engagement, or misleading claims about what Casita does or costs.
• Never trade for reviews. Don’t offer or give anything for App Store or Google Play ratings or reviews, or ask people to leave a particular rating.
• Not our name. Don’t bid on “Casita” or close misspellings in search or social ads, register domains or handles with “Casita” in them, or present yourself as Casita.
• No self-referrals. Don’t sign up yourself, your own household, or accounts you control through your link.
• No paying families to sign up, or adding your own discounts or offers to Casita’s.
• Be kind in our name. No hateful, harassing, sexual, violent or illegal content alongside Casita, and nothing aimed at children.

7. Casita’s name and materials

While you’re a partner, you may use Casita’s name, logo, screenshots and the captions in your marketing kit to promote Casita, as we provide them and without changing them. You may not use them in any other way. Everything you make is yours. If we’d like to use your content in our own ads, we’ll ask first and agree the terms with you in writing.

8. Ending

• Either of us can end the partnership at any time by email. We may also pause your code, which stops new earnings while it’s paused.
• When the partnership ends, your code stops working and you stop earning, including the 20% on renewals. Earnings from payments made before it ended are still paid once they clear their hold.
• If it ends because of a breach of this agreement, misuse or fraud, unpaid earnings are forfeited, and we may recover payments that came from it.

9. Privacy

Your partner page shows counts and money: page visits, emails saved, households started, yearly subscriptions and earnings. We never share who those families are. We keep your name, email, application, code, earnings and payouts to run the program; how we handle information is in our privacy policy.

10. Changes

We may change this agreement with at least 30 days’ notice by email. Earnings from payments made before a change follow the terms they were earned under.

11. The fine print

Casita is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, neither of us is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses, and Casita’s total liability to you under this agreement is limited to the earnings owed to you. If any part of this agreement can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
