Twenty per cent, every month.

20% of every sale and of every month. On the €0.99 monthly plan, 20% of every month the customer pays — the first month included — for as long as they keep paying; there is no end date. On the one-off licences for two and five devices, 20% of the sale. The same rate on every plan, so there is nothing to work out.

By attaching the device itself, from the code it shows (see “The device you set up” above). Only a device first seen in the last seven days and not yet on a paid licence can be attached, and the first partner to attach it keeps it — nobody can take it from you afterwards. When the customer then buys, from the device or from their phone, the licence the device goes on pays you. One exception, said plainly: a licence the customer had already bought through another partner’s link before you attached the device stays with that partner.

No. Your partner space belongs to your Lumen·TV account, and you can make that with Google or with an email address and a password. The invitation we email you when you are approved is accepted once, signed in with that account, and you sign in with it from then on. It does not have to be the address you applied with. If you lose access to it, write to us: we unlink it and send you a new invitation.

One sale pays one partner, and the earlier of the two wins: an attachment made before the purchase beats a link used for that purchase. Once a commission has cleared, it is never moved to anybody else.

Yes. 20% is where everybody starts, and a different rate can be agreed with a partner individually — write to us. An agreed rate applies to the sales and months that come after it; what you have already earned keeps the rate it was earned at.

The commission on that sale or that month is reversed automatically, which is why a commission waits fourteen days before it can be paid.

Once a month, by bank transfer, in euros. A commission becomes payable fourteen days after the sale, once the withdrawal window has closed. On the 1st of each month everything that has become payable is added up: from €20 it is paid to you; below €20 it carries over to the next month and is added to what comes after. You give us your IBAN when you apply or afterwards. You invoice us or we self-bill, whichever suits your situation — say which when you apply.

Ninety days from the click, and only if the visitor agrees to it. The link page asks them, plainly, before anything is stored — an attribution cookie needs consent, and we would rather ask honestly than lose the right to count anything at all. An installer’s attachment is on the device and does not run out.

Bidding on our brand name or on any other company’s brand name. Coupon and cashback placement. Anything that promotes obtaining television without paying for it. Presenting yourself as us. Automated or incentivised clicks. These are grounds for closing an account and withholding the balance built on them.

For one of three reasons: the channel or site primarily promotes unlicensed content; there is no way to tell whether the audience is real; or the placement would put us next to something we would not want to be next to. We do not quote an approval rate, because we have not decided enough applications to quote one honestly.
