2. Program Scope; Relationship to Healthcare Services
2.1 Marketing Services Only. Affiliate will promote the Platform Membership to prospective users using only MoldCo-approved materials and Affiliate Links. Affiliate’s activities are marketing and promotional services only.
2.2 No Healthcare Services Relationship. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that: (a) MoldCo (the MSO) does not provide medical care and does not practice medicine; (b) any Healthcare Services are provided solely by Third-Party Providers under separate clinical terms/consents between the Member and such Third-Party Providers; (c) Affiliate is not authorized to market, arrange, recommend, or induce the furnishing of Healthcare Services; and (d) Affiliate is not compensated for Healthcare Services.
2.3 No Agency. Affiliate is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, franchise, agency, employment, or representative relationship. Affiliate will not represent otherwise and has no authority to bind MoldCo.
3. Affiliate Obligations; Use of Materials
3.1 Compliance with Program Policies. Affiliate will comply with this Agreement and all Program Policies. MoldCo may update Program Policies upon notice (including via portal or email). Continued participation in the Program after an update constitutes acceptance.
3.2 Approved Statements Only. Affiliate will not make statements about MoldCo, the Platform Membership, or any Third-Party Providers except as (a) included in MoldCo-approved materials, or (b) expressly approved in writing by MoldCo.
3.3 Prohibited Conduct. Affiliate will not: (a) use spam, deceptive practices, or misleading claims; (b) use paid search or social ads using MoldCo trademarks unless expressly authorized in writing; (c) bid on “MoldCo” or confusingly similar terms without written permission; (d) use malware, cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, or attribution manipulation; (e) offer rebates, coupons, or incentives unless MoldCo has approved them in writing; or (f) imply that Affiliate is being paid to “send patients” for medical care, tests, prescriptions, or treatment.
3.4 Affiliate Link Integrity. Affiliate will not interfere with tracking or circumvent attribution rules. MoldCo’s tracking determination is final absent manifest error.
4. Commission
4.1 Commission Amount. Subject to this Agreement, MoldCo will pay Affiliate $79 per Qualified Subscription (the “Commission”), unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form. The Commission amount is fixed and is not adjusted based on any Member Promotion or discount applied to the Platform Fee.
4.2 When Earned. Commission is earned only when MoldCo confirms a Qualified Subscription (first Platform Fee successfully paid and not reversed during the Qualification Period). For the avoidance of doubt, Commissions accrue as “pending” during the Qualification Period and are not earned, vested, or payable until the Qualification Period has closed without reversal, refund, or chargeback. This pending period safeguards against refunds, chargebacks, and fraudulent transactions and is unrelated to the provision of any Healthcare Services.
4.3 Payment Source; Payment Collection Neutrality. The Parties acknowledge: (a) the Commission is paid solely by the MSO from its own funds for marketing services related to Platform Membership; and (b) the Platform Fee may be processed/collected by MoldCo, an affiliated entity, a professional entity, or a designated payment processor depending on operational structure and member-facing terms; regardless of who processes the Platform Fee, Commission eligibility is based only on MoldCo’s confirmation of a Qualified Subscription and is paid by the MSO.
4.4 Not Tied to Healthcare Services. The Parties agree: the Commission is not paid in exchange for, or contingent upon, the referral of patients or the furnishing, ordering, recommending, or arranging of Healthcare Services, prescriptions, laboratory testing, or any other healthcare items or services; and the Commission does not take into account the volume or value of any business generated for Third-Party Providers.
4.5 Commercial Reasonableness. The Parties agree the Commission reflects fair market value for Affiliate’s marketing services and is commercially reasonable and negotiated at arm’s length.
4.6 Payment Timing; Statements; Disputes. MoldCo will pay Commissions monthly in arrears within 30 days after month-end, subject to reconciliation and offsets. MoldCo may provide a commission statement via portal or email. Affiliate must dispute any statement within 30 days of receipt, or it is deemed accepted.
4.7 Minimum Payout; Taxes. MoldCo may apply a minimum payout threshold of $100 (or pay earlier at MoldCo’s discretion). Affiliate is responsible for all taxes and will provide required tax forms (e.g., W-9). MoldCo may withhold as required by law.
4.8 Offsets; Chargebacks; Fraud; Compliance Holds. MoldCo may withhold, offset, deny, or claw back Commissions for chargebacks, refunds, payment reversals, suspected fraud, Program Policy violations, or inaccurate payment details, including placing payments on hold pending compliance review.
4.9 No Renewal Commissions Unless Expressly Stated. No Commission is paid for renewals or subsequent months unless an Order Form expressly provides otherwise.
4.10 Bounties. From time to time, MoldCo may, in its sole discretion, offer Bounties to Affiliate. The eligibility criteria, qualifying actions, amount, payment timing, and duration of each Bounty will be set forth by MoldCo through the affiliate platform (currently Dub) or other written notice, and may be added, modified, suspended, or discontinued by MoldCo at any time without amendment to this Agreement. Affiliate’s participation in any Bounty constitutes acceptance of its then-current terms. Bounties are paid solely by the MSO from its own funds as additional compensation for marketing services and are subject to all terms of this Section 4 on the same basis as Commissions. Without limitation, no Bounty will be paid in exchange for, or contingent upon, the referral of patients, the furnishing or arranging of Healthcare Services, prescriptions, laboratory testing, or any other healthcare items or services, and no Bounty will take into account the volume or value of any business generated for Third-Party Providers. MoldCo will not offer, and Affiliate will not accept, any Bounty that is conditioned on a clinical action by or on behalf of a Member. Bounties may include (i) fixed-amount rewards for completing discrete marketing actions (e.g., publishing an approved video, blog post, or podcast mention referencing MoldCo) and (ii) tiered or milestone rewards based on the cumulative number of Qualified Subscriptions attributable to Affiliate over a defined period (each such count, a “Conversion Count”). For all Bounties, the Conversion Count is measured solely by the number of Qualified Subscriptions (as defined in Section 1.5) and does not, and will not be construed to, count, measure, or reward any clinical encounter, prescription, laboratory test, telehealth visit, treatment, or other Healthcare Service. No Bounty will be structured, calculated, or paid in a manner that varies with the volume or value of Healthcare Services furnished to or for any Member.
4.11 Member Promotions. MoldCo may, in its sole discretion, offer Member Promotions to prospective Members enrolling via Affiliate Links (e.g., a percentage discount applied to one or more Platform Fees during an introductory period). The structure, amount, and duration of any Member Promotion are determined and may be modified by MoldCo at any time. Member Promotions are agreements solely between MoldCo (or its applicable affiliated or professional entity) and the Member, are governed by the applicable member-facing terms, and confer no rights on Affiliate. As provided in Section 4.1, the Commission amount is not adjusted based on any Member Promotion. Affiliate may only reference, advertise, or describe a Member Promotion using MoldCo-approved materials or as expressly approved in writing by MoldCo.
5. Compliance Requirements
5.1 General Legal Compliance. Affiliate will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including consumer protection, advertising, anti-spam, privacy/data protection, and endorsement laws.
5.2 Healthcare Compliance. Affiliate will not market the Program in a manner that implies the Commission is paid for obtaining patients or business for clinical care, provider time, prescriptions, tests, or treatment. Affiliate will not engage in conduct that would violate applicable healthcare fraud and abuse or fee-splitting laws, including but not limited to, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and where applicable EKRA, and similar state laws.
5.3 No Clinical Claims; No Medical Advice. Affiliate will not: (a) represent itself as a healthcare provider on MoldCo’s behalf; (b) provide medical advice; (c) claim MoldCo diagnoses, treats, cures, or provides medical care; (d) guarantee outcomes; or (e) make scientific/clinical claims unless MoldCo provides substantiation and written approval.

5.5 Healthcare Advertising Guardrails. Affiliate is not authorized to advertise Healthcare Services or represent that it is promoting medical services. If Affiliate is itself a licensed clinic/practice, Affiliate is solely responsible for ensuring its advertising complies with professional rules and state-specific requirements (including that any healthcare advertising is in the name of the licensed professional entity and not MoldCo).
5.6 Privacy; No PHI. Affiliate will not collect, transmit, or share sensitive health information with MoldCo and will not send MoldCo any medical information about prospective Members. Any personal data shared must be limited to what MoldCo explicitly requests for program administration and must be permitted by law.
5.7 Healthcare Provider Restrictions. Affiliate may not participate in the Program if Affiliate is a licensed healthcare provider, medical practice, or other entity or individual in a position to directly or indirectly refer, recommend, or influence patients’ selection of Healthcare Services, unless expressly approved in writing by MoldCo. Without limiting the foregoing, Affiliate may not use the Program to promote the Platform Membership in a manner that is directed to or based on patients for whom Affiliate provides or may provide clinical care, or otherwise use the Program in connection with any patient relationship. MoldCo reserves the right to restrict, modify, or prohibit participation in the Program by any Affiliate where necessary to ensure compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations.
