How do I make sure I get paid affiliate commission?

Brand pays commission on sales via your code but controls tracking? Ask for reporting access, payment schedule and attribution window.

The risky clause

Creator will earn a commission on sales tracked by the Brand's system. The Brand's records are final.

Why it is dangerous

If the brand alone controls tracking, you cannot verify your sales. Ask for a reporting dashboard, a clear attribution window, a payment date and dispute rights. This is general information, not legal advice.

Safer clause to propose

Commission of [10]% is paid on net sales through the Creator's code, with a 30-day attribution window. The Brand shares monthly reports, pays within 15 days and allows an annual audit.

Message to send

Hi [Brand],

Could we add monthly sales reports, a 30-day attribution window and payment within 15 days of month end for my affiliate code? Thanks, [Your Name]
