Preamble
These General Terms and Conditions of the Ambassador Program (hereinafter the "Program Terms") govern the contractual relationship between KAIROSAST LTD(hereinafter the "Publisher"), publisher of the Llmastro platform accessible at https://llmastro.com(hereinafter the "Platform"), and any natural or legal person accepting these Program Terms with a view to taking part in the affiliate marketing program (hereinafter the "Affiliate" or "Ambassador").
The Publisher is a Private Limited Company incorporated under the laws of England, registered with Companies House of England and Wales under number 17247161, with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. Full information relating to the Publisher is available in the Legal Notice.
These Program Terms constitute a B2B commercial contract: they are addressed exclusively to professionals within the meaning of French law (natural persons registered as a micro-entrepreneur or under another legal form, or legal persons), to the exclusion of consumers. No relationship of subordination, employment or agency is created between the Parties.
Definitions
- "Publisher": the company KAIROSAST LTD.
- "Affiliate" / "Ambassador": the natural or legal person admitted to the program by the Publisher.
- "Program": the affiliate marketing scheme operated by the Publisher, giving rise to the payment of a commission to Affiliates in consideration for subscriptions taken out through their link.
- "Affiliate Link": the personal URL assigned to the Affiliate, containing a unique identifier (hereinafter the "slug"), enabling the attribution of conversions.
- "Referred User": any user of the Platform whose registration is attributed to an Affiliate under the Program.
- "Subscription": any paid plan taken out by a Referred User with the Publisher.
- "Commission": the remuneration due to the Affiliate under the Program, calculated in accordance with article 6.
- "Effective Terms": the percentage and the duration applicable to an Affiliate, determined in accordance with article 6.
- "Attribution": the linking of a Referred User to an Affiliate, carried out at the time of the Referred User's registration on the Platform.
Article 1 — Purpose
The purpose of these Program Terms is to define the conditions under which the Publisher admits an Affiliate to the Program, provides the Affiliate with an Affiliate Link, and pays the Affiliate a Commission in respect of the Subscriptions taken out by Referred Users.
Joining the Program is a voluntary act and entails no minimum activity commitment on the part of the Affiliate.
Article 2 — Acceptance and entry into force
The Affiliate accepts these Program Terms:
- by checking the box "I have read and I accept the General Terms and Conditions of the Ambassador Program" when submitting an application through the /affiliate/apply form; and
- by any subsequent act of performance (use of the Affiliate Link, issuance of an invoice, etc.).
The contract enters into force upon the notice of acceptance of the application issued by the Publisher, by any written means (in particular email). Until such notice has been given, the Affiliate holds no right whatsoever under the Program.
The Publisher reserves the right to accept or refuse any application, at its sole discretion, without having to state reasons for its decision. A refusal gives rise to no compensation.
Article 3 — Legal status of the Affiliate
The Affiliate represents and warrants:
- that they are of legal age and have full legal capacity to contract;
- that they hold a legal status enabling them to issue compliant invoices (in France: micro-entreprise, EI, SAS, SARL or a foreign equivalent), and that they will spontaneously provide the Publisher with their SIRET number, their intra-Community VAT number where applicable, as well as any document evidencing their registration;
- that they are up to date with their tax and social security obligations in the country of their registered office or main residence;
- that they carry out their activity independently, with no relationship of subordination with the Publisher.
These Program Terms create no relationship of subordinate employment, nor agency, nor de facto partnership between the Parties. The Affiliate alone bears their tax, social security and professional charges.
Article 4 — Affiliate Link and attribution
4.1 Link
Upon acceptance of the application, a unique Affiliate Link is assigned to the Affiliate in the following form:https://llmastro.com/?aff=<slug>
The Affiliate may distribute this Link on their own channels (social networks, personal website, newsletter, videos, etc.) in compliance with the provisions of article 7 below.
4.2 Attribution terms
The attribution of a Referred User to an Affiliate takes place at the time of the Referred User's registration on the Platform, according to the following technical terms:
- a first-partytracking cookie is placed on the visitor's browser upon a click on the Affiliate Link, with a duration of sixty (60) days;
- if the visitor registers during this attribution window, the registration is attributed to the Affiliate holding the last Link clicked (last-touch attribution model);
- in the absence of a cookie (deletion, browser blocking, private mode), no attribution can be guaranteed. The Publisher is under no obligation to achieve a given result as to the effective attribution rate.
4.3 Conflict with the user referral program
Where an affiliate cookie and a user referral cookie (a separate program) coexist, the Ambassador Program prevails for the purpose of receiving the Commission. The user referral program retains only its own effects for the Referred User (extension of the trial period).
4.4 Snapshot of the terms
The Effective Terms applicable to a given Attribution are frozen at the time of that Attribution. Any subsequent change to the Affiliate's tier or personalized terms affects only the Attributions occurring after that change, to the exclusion of existing Attributions, which retain their original terms until expiry.
Article 5 — Tiers and terms
The Program comprises several tiers, whose default Effective Terms are as follows (subject to change: see article 13):
| Tier | Percentage | Duration | Admission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 20% | 12 months | Any Affiliate admitted to the Program |
| VIP | 25% | 12 months | At the Publisher's discretion |
| Top | 30% | 18 months | At the Publisher's discretion |
| Partner | 35% | 24 months | Under a formalized partnership |
An Affiliate's Effective Terms may be personalized on a case-by-case basis (overrides), upwards or downwards, by decision of the Publisher. Any change is notified to the Affiliate and recorded in the internal audit trail. The Affiliate may consult their current Effective Terms in their /affiliate/dashboard area.
Article 6 — Commission
6.1 Calculation
The Commission due to the Affiliate for a given Referred User is equal, for each month of Subscription actually collected during the duration of the applicable Effective Terms, to:
Commission = Net-of-tax amount actually collected × Percentage of the Effective Terms
The "net-of-tax amount actually collected" means the amount net of taxes, payment provider transaction fees, refunds, payment disputes (chargebacks) and credit notes.
6.2 Clawback (reversal)
In the event of a refund, payment dispute or credit note occurring after a Commission has been calculated, the corresponding Commission is automatically cancelled. The cancelled amount is deducted from the balance payable to the Affiliate for the current month, or clawed back over the following months if the current balance does not allow full offsetting.
6.3 Purchase by the Affiliate themselves
No Commission is due in respect of a Subscription taken out by the Affiliate themselves or by any person acting on their behalf. Any attempt to circumvent this self-referral rule constitutes a material breach of these Program Terms (see article 12).
6.4 Cap
The aggregate monthly Commission due to an Affiliate is capped by default at five hundred euros (€500). Beyond this cap, the excess balance is subject to a manual review by the Publisher before payment; the corresponding payments may be deferred for the time required for that review.
The Publisher may, upon reasoned request from the Affiliate, raise this cap for high-activity Affiliates, under a separate written agreement.
Article 7 — Obligations of the Affiliate
7.1 Transparency and advertising compliance
The Affiliate undertakes to state clearly and legibly, on each publication promoting Llmastro, the commercial nature of the content, in accordance in particular with French law no. 2023-451 of 9 June 2023 on the regulation of commercial influence, with European directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices, and with any equivalent applicable legislation.
The following are required in particular:

- any fraudulent scheme intended to generate artificial conversions (fake accounts, bots, incentives in exchange for payment, etc.).
7.3 Respect for the visual identity

The Commission is paid monthly, in arrears, against an invoice issued by the Affiliate. The Publisher makes available to the Affiliate, before the 10th of month M+1, a detailed statement of the Commissions due in respect of month M.
9.2 Invoicing
The Affiliate issues their invoice to the Publisher on the basis of the statement made available. The invoice must comply with the mandatory particulars of the jurisdiction of issuance (in France: article 242 nonies A of annex II to the CGI).

9.3 Payment period and method
Payment is made within a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a compliant invoice, by SEPA bank transfer to the IBAN provided by the Affiliate.

9.4 Payout threshold
Commissions are paid only if their monthly aggregate reaches at least fifty euros (€50). Below this payout threshold, the balance is carried over to the following months until the threshold is reached. Upon termination of these Program Terms, any balance below the threshold is paid unconditionally.
9.5 VAT
The amounts stated are exclusive of tax. VAT (or an equivalent tax) applies depending on the Affiliate's status and the regulations in force in their jurisdiction. The Affiliate is solely responsible for declaring and remitting the VAT due in respect of the Commissions received, where applicable.
Article 10 — Personal data
In connection with these Program Terms, the Publisher processes the following data of the Affiliate: identity (last name, first name, corporate name), email, SIRET number or equivalent, IBAN (stored in encrypted form), history of Commissions and payments.
The legal basis for the processing is the performance of the contract (article 6.1.b GDPR) as well as compliance with legal obligations (article 6.1.c GDPR: accounting and tax retention).
The data is retained for the entire duration of the contractual relationship, then for five (5) years under the applicable tax and accounting obligations. Thereafter, it is deleted or anonymized.
The Affiliate has the rights of access, rectification, erasure (subject to legal retention obligations), restriction, portability and objection, in accordance with articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR. These rights may be exercised at contact@llmastro.com.
For the processing of tracking activity (clicks on the Affiliate Link and conversions), only limited technical data is retained (hash of the IP address and of the user-agent, with no raw data), for the purposes of calculating Commissions and preventing fraud.
For further details, see the Privacy Policy.
Article 11 — Intellectual property
All the elements making up the Platform — including without limitation the "Llmastro" trademark, the logos, the visual identity, the source code, the content, the generated interpretations and the databases — remain the exclusive property of the Publisher, protected by the legislation applicable in the United Kingdom, in France and in the European Union.
The Publisher grants the Affiliate, for the sole duration of the contract and for the sole purpose of promoting the Program, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the trademark, the trade name and the visual elements made available, in strict compliance with article 7.3 above. Any other use is prohibited without prior written authorization.
This license terminates automatically upon the termination or suspension of these Program Terms, without notice or compensation.

Article 14 — Amendment of these Program Terms
The Publisher reserves the right to amend these Program Terms at any time. Any amendment is subject to written notice to the Affiliate at least thirty (30) days before it enters into force.

The version applicable at a given time is the one published at https://llmastro.com/cgu-affilies, in the version and at the date indicated in the header. Amendments applicable to existing Attributions remain governed by the strict snapshot principle (article 4.4).
Article 15 — Liability
15.1 No income guarantee
The Publisher gives the Affiliate no guarantee as to any level of income, traffic or conversion rate. The amount of the Commissions actually received depends exclusively on the Affiliate's performance and on the behavior of Referred Users.
15.2 Tracking
The Publisher uses its best efforts to ensure reliable tracking of conversions, within the limits of technical constraints (blocked cookies, private browsers, mobile devices, etc.). The Affiliate expressly acknowledges that some conversions may escape the tracking system, and waives any claim in this respect, except where a technical failure attributable to the Publisher is demonstrated.
15.3 Liability cap
In any event, and save in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Publisher's liability under these Program Terms is capped at the total amount of the Commissions actually paid to the Affiliate during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
Article 16 — Force majeure
Neither Party shall be held liable for a failure to perform its obligations resulting from an event of force majeure within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code or of the case law applicable in the United Kingdom, including in particular: natural disasters, armed conflicts, civil unrest, large-scale outages of the Internet or of hosting providers, decisions of public authorities.

Failing an amicable agreement within that period, the dispute shall be brought before the competent courts of England and Wales.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Affiliate is a person established in France and carries out a non-commercial activity within the meaning of the European rules on jurisdiction, they retain the option of bringing proceedings before the courts of their place of residence, in accordance with regulation (EU) no. 1215/2012 where applicable.
Article 18 — Miscellaneous provisions

18.2 No waiver
The fact that one of the Parties does not rely on a provision of these Program Terms may not be construed as a waiver of the right to rely on it at a later time.
18.3 Assignment
The Affiliate may not assign these Program Terms, in whole or in part, to a third party without the prior written agreement of the Publisher. The Publisher may freely assign these Program Terms in the event of a restructuring, a transfer of business or a transfer of assets including the Platform.
