In Plain English — What This Means for You
Here’s the short version before all the legal stuff:
- You help share The Practice Academy with your audience. When someone signs up through your special ThriveCart link and stays a paying member for at least 60 days, you earn $350.
- We pay you automatically through ThriveCart once that refund period ends.
- We just ask that you promote us honestly, follow FTC rules, and avoid anything shady or spammy (no fake coupons, misleading claims, or pretending you’re us).
- If something violates those rules, we’ll remove you from the program — no hard feelings, just fairness.
We’re here to work with you to help more practice owners grow and make a bigger impact.
Now for the detailed legal version — it’s important, but we promise it says the same thing in more official words.
