Effective Date: 09/06/2024
Last Modified: 12/12/2025

These Affiliate Program Terms govern participation in the Traveling Guns and Knives LLC Affiliate Program. By enrolling in or participating in the program, you agree to comply with these terms in full.

1. Purpose

The purpose of the Affiliate Program is to establish a structured marketing relationship that allows approved affiliates to promote eligible Traveling Guns and Knives products in a professional and compliant manner. In exchange, affiliates may earn commission based compensation on qualifying, trackable sales completed through Company approved channels, subject to these terms and any applicable Affiliate Program Schedules.

The Affiliate Program is designed to expand brand awareness, drive responsible customer acquisition, and maintain consistency in how the Traveling Guns and Knives brand, products, and offers are represented across digital and referral based platforms.

2. Affiliate Relationship

Affiliates participate in the Affiliate Program as independent contractors. Nothing in this program creates or shall be deemed to create an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, agency, or fiduciary relationship between the affiliate and Traveling Guns and Knives LLC.

Affiliates have no authority to bind the Company, negotiate on its behalf, set pricing, or make representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding Company products, services, or operations. Affiliates are solely responsible for their own business operations, expenses, marketing methods, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and platform rules.

Affiliates must be at least eighteen years of age and legally permitted to participate in marketing and promotional activities related to the Company’s products.

3. Approved Promotional Activity

Affiliates may promote eligible Company offerings through personal websites, social media platforms, content channels, email marketing lists owned and controlled by the affiliate, and direct referrals.

All promotional activity must be conducted in a professional, responsible, and lawful manner and must align with the Company’s brand standards, reputation, and values. Affiliates are expected to present Company products accurately and in a way that supports responsible use and consumer understanding.

Affiliates may not make false, misleading, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated claims regarding Company products or services, including claims related to performance, legality, safety, availability, pricing, or outcomes. Any content that could reasonably be interpreted as deceptive or unsafe is strictly prohibited.

4. Prohibited Conduct

Affiliates may not engage in any activity that is deceptive, misleading, unethical, unlawful, or inconsistent with the Company’s brand standards or compliance requirements.

Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:

• Using paid advertising that bids on the Company name, trademarks, branded keywords, close variations, or domain names without prior written approval
• Impersonating the Company or representing oneself as an employee, owner, agent, or official representative of the Company
• Offering unauthorized discounts, rebates, incentives, cash equivalents, or price guarantees
• Engaging in spam, deceptive marketing practices, false scarcity, or misleading calls to action
• Promoting excluded products or services not eligible for affiliate commission
• Misrepresenting product capabilities, legal compliance, safety, availability, or outcomes
• Modifying, altering, or misusing Company logos, trademarks, brand assets, or creative materials without permission
• Engaging in conduct that creates reputational risk, legal exposure, or regulatory concern for the Company

The Company reserves the right to investigate suspected violations. Any violation of this section may result in immediate termination from the Affiliate Program, forfeiture of unpaid commissions, suspension of payouts, or other remedies deemed appropriate by the Company.

5. Commission Structure

Commission rates may vary by product or category and may include percentage based commissions or flat payouts as outlined in the applicable Affiliate Program Schedule and related exhibits.

Commissions are earned only on eligible products and qualifying transactions. Unless otherwise specified in writing, commissions apply to accessories sold through the Company’s official website and exclude firearms, training, events, experiences, services, gift cards, and any other excluded items identified by the Company.

To qualify for commission, a transaction must:

• Be completed and not refunded, canceled, disputed, or charged back
• Be accurately tracked through the Company approved affiliate tracking system using valid links or codes
• Comply with all program terms, schedules, and compliance requirements

Commissions are calculated on net sales, defined as the gross sale price minus discounts, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, shipping, payment processing fees, and promotional credits. The Company reserves the right to withhold, adjust, or reverse commissions associated with non compliant activity or ineligible transactions.

Participation in the Affiliate Program does not guarantee any level of earnings, commissions, traffic, or sales.

The Company may modify commission rates, eligible products, or calculation methods with written notice. Continued participation in the Affiliate Program constitutes acceptance of any such changes.

6. Tracking and Attribution

Affiliate referrals are tracked using Company approved methods, which may include unique referral links, coupon codes, or other tracking mechanisms designated by the Company.

Unless otherwise stated in writing, the standard attribution window is thirty days from the initial click or engagement. If multiple affiliates are associated with a transaction, the last tracked referral prior to purchase will receive attribution.

Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that referral links and codes are used correctly. The Company is not responsible for commissions lost due to technical failures, browser settings, ad blockers, privacy controls, improper link usage, or customer behavior outside the attribution window.

7. Payment Terms

Commissions are calculated on a monthly basis and paid within thirty days after the close of each payment cycle, subject to verification and compliance review.

Payments are issued only after the affiliate meets the minimum payout threshold established by the Company. Any commissions below the minimum threshold will roll over to subsequent payment periods until the threshold is met.

Affiliates must provide accurate, complete, and up to date payment and tax information prior to payout. Failure to do so may result in delayed or suspended payments.

All commissions are subject to verification, fraud review, and adjustment for refunds, chargebacks, disputes, or non compliant activity. The Company reserves the right to withhold, offset, or reverse commissions where appropriate to protect against fraud, error, or policy violations.

8. Taxes and IRS Reporting

Affiliates are solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with commissions earned through the Affiliate Program. Traveling Guns and Knives LLC does not withhold taxes on behalf of affiliates.

Affiliates may be required to submit valid tax documentation prior to receiving commission payments, including a completed IRS Form W 9 where applicable. Failure to provide accurate, complete, or up to date tax information may result in delayed payments, suspended payouts, or withholding of commissions until such information is received.

Traveling Guns and Knives LLC may report affiliate earnings to the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities as required by law.

9. Intellectual Property

The Company grants affiliates a limited, non exclusive, non transferable, and revocable license to use approved Company trademarks, logos, and marketing materials solely for the purpose of promoting eligible Company offerings under this Affiliate Program.

Affiliates may use only Company approved creative assets and must follow any brand guidelines or usage instructions provided. Affiliates may not modify, adapt, distort, or combine Company intellectual property with other branding without prior written approval.

All intellectual property rights, including trademarks, logos, creative assets, product descriptions, and proprietary materials, remain the exclusive property of the Company. No ownership rights are transferred to affiliates under this program.

This license terminates immediately upon termination of affiliate participation or upon written notice from the Company, at which point the affiliate must promptly cease all use of Company intellectual property and remove related materials from all platforms.

10. Confidentiality

Affiliates agree to keep confidential all non public, proprietary, or sensitive information disclosed by the Company, including but not limited to commission rates, payout structures, internal reports, performance data, marketing strategies, customer information, internal communications, and business operations.

Affiliates may not disclose, share, sell, or use confidential information for any purpose other than participation in the Affiliate Program, unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company.

This confidentiality obligation survives termination of the affiliate relationship and continues until such information becomes publicly available through no fault of the affiliate.

11. Term and Termination

Participation in the Affiliate Program begins upon acceptance and continues until terminated in accordance with these terms.

Either party may terminate participation at any time with written notice. The Company reserves the right to terminate participation immediately, without prior notice, in the event of breach of these terms, misconduct, non compliance, fraudulent activity, or any action that poses reputational, legal, or regulatory risk to the Company.

Upon termination for any reason, affiliates must immediately cease all promotional activity, discontinue use of affiliate links or codes, and remove all Company branding, trademarks, and references from websites, social media accounts, advertisements, and other platforms.

Any unpaid commissions associated with refunded, disputed, charged back, or non compliant transactions are not payable following termination. The Company may withhold or forfeit pending commissions as necessary to complete verification, fraud review, or compliance audits.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Traveling Guns and Knives LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to participation in the Affiliate Program, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall the Company’s total cumulative liability to an affiliate for any claim, dispute, or cause of action arising under or related to the Affiliate Program exceed the total commissions actually paid to the affiliate during the six month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

13. Indemnification

Affiliates agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Traveling Guns and Knives LLC, its owners, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to the affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program.

This includes, but is not limited to, claims resulting from the affiliate’s marketing activities, representations or statements, misuse of Company intellectual property, violation of these terms, violation of applicable laws or platform policies, or any act or omission by the affiliate.

This indemnification obligation survives termination of the affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program.

14. Governing Law

These Affiliate Program Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to participation in the Affiliate Program, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Affiliates consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts located within the State of Florida for the resolution of any such disputes.

15. Entire Agreement and Acceptance

These Affiliate Program Terms constitute the entire agreement between the affiliate and Traveling Guns and Knives LLC regarding participation in the Affiliate Program and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, discussions, understandings, or representations, whether written or oral.

The Company may update or modify these terms from time to time by providing written notice or posting updated terms through Company controlled channels. Continued participation in the Affiliate Program following any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

By enrolling in, accessing, or participating in the Affiliate Program, including through electronic acceptance, checkbox acknowledgment, or continued promotional activity, the affiliate acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Affiliate Program Terms.
