Introduction
Global Contacts Inc. ("CaptchaText" or "CaptchaText.com" or "us" or "we" or "our") offers an Affiliate Program through our website located at www.captchatext.com (the "Site"), subject to this Affiliate Terms of Service agreement ("Affiliate TOS"). By registering as an affiliate or participating in our Affiliate Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Affiliate TOS. If you are entering into this Affiliate TOS on behalf of a company, business, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to this Affiliate TOS, in which case the terms "you" or "your" shall refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with this Affiliate TOS, you must not register for or participate in our Affiliate Program.
The CaptchaText Affiliate Program is designed to reward partners who help promote our innovative CAPTCHA verification service. Through this program, affiliates can earn commissions by referring new customers to our service while maintaining the highest standards of professional marketing practices. This Affiliate TOS outlines the terms, conditions, and operational guidelines that govern your participation in our Affiliate Program.
Becoming an Affiliate
CaptchaText welcomes individuals, businesses, and organizations interested in promoting our innovative CAPTCHA solution. To join our affiliate program, you simply need to complete our online registration form through our affiliate portal. The registration process is straightforward and designed to get you started quickly with promoting our services.
As an affiliate, you have the freedom to promote CaptchaText through any legitimate marketing channels of your choice. Whether you operate a website, maintain an active social media presence, engage with professional networks like LinkedIn, create content on platforms like Medium or YouTube, or use any other promotional methods, you can leverage these channels to share the benefits of CaptchaText with potential customers.
Upon submitting your registration, our system will automatically generate your unique affiliate tracking credentials. These credentials ensure accurate tracking of your referrals and corresponding commissions. Your affiliate account gives you immediate access to our marketing resources, performance tracking tools, and commission reporting system. This allows you to start promoting CaptchaText and earning commissions right away.
We provide affiliates with comprehensive resources to support their promotional efforts. This includes access to official marketing materials, product information, technical documentation, and regular updates about new features or improvements. You'll also receive guidance on effectively communicating CaptchaText's unique benefits, such as our Zero Database Architecture, support for 23 languages, and flexible integration options.
Your success as an affiliate is important to us, and we maintain an open communication channel for any questions or support you might need throughout your journey as a CaptchaText affiliate. Our affiliate support team is ready to assist you with any queries about the program, commission structure, or promotional strategies.
Affiliate Welcome Bonus
CaptchaText is committed to helping our affiliates succeed from day one. To kickstart your journey as a CaptchaText affiliate, we offer a $10 welcome bonus just for signing up to our affiliate program! This bonus will be applied to your affiliate account immediately upon approval of your affiliate registration.
The welcome bonus is designed to help you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold faster and begin earning real income through our program. This $10 bonus cannot be used or adjusted for any CaptchaText products or services - it's exclusively available as part of your affiliate earnings. The welcome bonus will be paid out together with your first payout of earned commissions once you reach the minimum threshold of $100, helping you start your affiliate journey with an immediate advantage.
Commission Structure
CaptchaText offers a straightforward and generous commission structure that rewards affiliates for bringing new customers to our service. We provide a 25% commission on all first-time product orders referred through our affiliate program. This commission rate applies to the entire purchase amount of the customer's initial order, regardless of the subscription term length they choose.
Our commission model is designed to maximize your earning potential. When your referred customer makes their first purchase, whether they choose a one-year, two-year, or three-year subscription plan, you receive the full 25% commission on their entire initial purchase amount. For example, if a customer opts for a three-year subscription during their first purchase, you earn commission on the full three-year amount, as this represents a single first-time order.
The commission structure covers all our premium products, including Prime Plan purchases, Elite Plan subscriptions, and Custom Plan setups. Each unique first-time order from different customers qualifies for commission, meaning you can earn multiple commissions by referring multiple customers. This applies even if the same customer makes separate first-time purchases for different domain APIs, as each domain API represents a unique new order.
It's important to understand that commissions are specifically tied to first-time purchases only. Subsequent renewals, plan upgrades, or additional year extensions after the initial purchase do not qualify for additional commissions. This policy ensures clarity in commission tracking and rewards affiliates for bringing new business to CaptchaText while maintaining a sustainable business model.
We maintain transparent tracking of all referrals through our advanced tracking system. When a potential customer clicks your affiliate link, our system records this interaction and maintains the referral information for 90 days. This means if your referred visitor returns and makes a purchase within this 90-day window, you still receive the full commission for their first-time order.
Payment Terms
CaptchaText operates on a Net-60 payment schedule for affiliate commissions. Under this system, earnings are processed for payment 60 days after the end of the month in which they were earned. This maturation period ensures proper verification of transactions and account status before commission disbursement.
We maintain a minimum payout threshold of $100 USD for processing affiliate commission payments. Earnings below this threshold automatically carry forward to the next payment cycle. Commission payments are available through PayPal or USDT (Tether), with additional cryptocurrency options available upon request through our affiliate department.
All commission calculations are performed in US Dollars (USD), regardless of the original transaction currency or location. Our system provides detailed tracking of all your earnings through the affiliate dashboard, where you can monitor pending commissions, verified earnings, and payment history.
Commission payments process automatically once your account meets both the minimum threshold and maturation period requirements. Any transactions flagged for potential fraud during the verification period will be subject to review and may be reversed if found invalid.
Eligibility and Tracking
Understanding how our affiliate tracking system works is crucial for successful participation in the CaptchaText affiliate program. Our commission tracking relies on browser cookies to accurately attribute sales to our affiliates. When a visitor clicks your affiliate link, a tracking cookie is placed in their browser that contains your unique affiliate identifier. This cookie is essential for tracking any subsequent purchases and ensuring you receive your earned commissions.
It's important to understand certain scenarios where commissions may not be attributed to your affiliate account. If a visitor initially clicks your affiliate link but later makes a purchase using a different device or browser where the tracking cookie is not present, the system cannot associate that sale with your affiliate account. Similarly, if a visitor clears their browser cookies before completing their purchase, the tracking information is lost, and the sale cannot be attributed to your affiliate account. For this reason, we recommend encouraging potential customers to complete their purchases during their initial browsing session.
CaptchaText maintains strict policies to ensure fair commission attribution and prevent abuse of the affiliate system. One fundamental rule is that affiliates cannot purchase products using their own affiliate links to generate commissions. Any attempt to earn commissions through self-referral will result in the immediate reversal of commissions and may lead to termination of your affiliate account. This policy helps maintain the integrity of our affiliate program and ensures fair compensation for genuine referrals.
Our system tracks sales through both cookies and IP addresses, but cookie tracking remains the primary method for commission attribution. We cannot be held responsible for lost commission opportunities due to circumstances such as cookie deletion, browser privacy settings, or purchases made from different devices. This underscores the importance of encouraging your referred visitors to complete their purchases within the same browsing session where they clicked your affiliate link.
Additionally, if your referred visitor subsequently becomes a CaptchaText affiliate themselves, you will not be eligible for commissions on any orders generated through their affiliate links. This policy ensures a fair and direct relationship between each affiliate and their referred customers, preventing commission chain structures. For example, if you refer Person A who later becomes an affiliate and refers Person B, you would not receive any commission for Person B's purchases, as these were generated through Person A's affiliate link rather than your direct referral.
Marketing Guidelines
CaptchaText provides affiliates with complete flexibility in how they choose to promote our services, while maintaining respect for our brand identity and commitment to honest marketing practices. We encourage creative and innovative approaches to reaching potential customers, whether through blog posts, social media content, video tutorials, professional networks, or any other legitimate marketing channels you prefer to utilize.
To support your promotional efforts, we provide a comprehensive set of marketing resources accessible through your affiliate dashboard. These resources include our official company logo, banners in various sizes and styles, product screenshots, and detailed feature descriptions. While you're welcome to create your own marketing materials, these official resources ensure accurate representation of our service and can help optimize your conversion rates.
Your unique affiliate link is the cornerstone of our tracking system. We provide multiple link formats to suit different marketing contexts, from simple text links to attractive call-to-action buttons. You can integrate these links naturally into your content, whether you're writing a technical review, creating a comparison guide, or sharing on social media.
As a security service provider, maintaining trust is paramount. Your marketing should focus on educating potential customers about our comprehensive security features and innovative technology architecture. When discussing our service tiers, emphasize the universal availability of our core security features while accurately representing the convenience benefits of paid plans.
Ethical Unified Link Usage
CaptchaText provides affiliates with innovative promotional tools, including our "unified" attribute feature that allows for seamless affiliate tracking through CaptchaText implementations. While this feature offers significant earning potential, it must be used in accordance with ethical marketing standards and proper authorization protocols.
As an affiliate, you agree to use your unified affiliate links only in ethical manners on websites, blogs, and other digital properties. Since CaptchaText does not actively monitor every implementation of our service, it is your responsibility to maintain ethical standards in your promotional activities. The "unified" attribute should only be implemented in one of the following scenarios: (1) on websites you personally own or control, (2) where you have received explicit permission from the appropriate website owner to use the unified parameter on their website, or (3) where you have included proper disclosure in your own terms of service that clearly states you may implement third-party solutions with affiliate promotion links while providing your web design, development, or hosting services.
Adding the "unified" attribute to third-party websites without proper authorization/disclosure is prohibited and constitutes a violation of these Affiliate Terms of Service. This includes, but is not limited to, adding your affiliate ID to client websites without their knowledge or consent, modifying CaptchaText implementations on websites you manage professionally without informing the owner about the affiliate relationship, or implementing the "unified" attribute on websites where you have developer access but not ownership rights.
Website owners who discover unauthorized "unified" attribute implementations on their properties should report this directly to CaptchaText's Abuse Department at: https://www.captchatext.com/abuse Upon receiving such reports, we will temporarily suspend the affiliate account pending investigation and request the affiliate to remove or obtain proper authorization for the implementation. It is the sole responsibility of website owners to monitor what is implemented on their properties and to report any unauthorized implementations promptly.
CaptchaText operates a three-strike policy for ethical violations. Affiliates will receive warnings and opportunities to rectify unauthorized implementations before more severe actions are taken. After three verified violations, the affiliate account may be permanently suspended. Please note that CaptchaText cannot reverse commissions that have already been paid out or traffic credits that have already been issued to affiliates prior to violation reports.
While we urge all affiliates to follow ethical standards in their promotional activities, CaptchaText will prioritize the rights of website owners in disputes regarding unauthorized implementations. By participating in our affiliate program and utilizing the "unified" attribute feature, you affirm your commitment to these ethical marketing practices and understand the consequences of non-compliance.
Best Practices
Success in promoting CaptchaText relies on creating valuable, educational content that helps potential customers understand the practical benefits of our solution. Focus on developing in-depth content that demonstrates real-world applications and use cases of our service.
Create detailed implementation guides and tutorials that showcase the practical aspects of integrating CaptchaText. Technical audiences particularly appreciate comprehensive information about API implementation, customization options, and integration best practices. Consider developing case studies that illustrate specific challenges solved by our solution.
Transparency builds credibility with your audience. Share objective comparisons and authentic experiences that help potential customers make informed decisions. Focus on specific features that address common pain points in website security and user verification.

Remember to maintain professional standards and accuracy in all promotional materials.

General Terms
As a CaptchaText affiliate, you participate in our program as an independent contractor. This relationship does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer, or franchiser-franchisee relationship. You are responsible for your own business operations, including any tax obligations arising from commissions earned through the affiliate program. This independent status gives you the freedom to promote CaptchaText in ways that best suit your business model while maintaining compliance with these terms.
We reserve the right to modify the Affiliate Terms of Service at any time to adapt to changing business needs, market conditions, or legal requirements. Any changes to these terms will be communicated through your affiliate dashboard, and your continued participation in the program after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage affiliates to periodically review these terms to stay informed of any changes that might affect their promotional activities.
Protection of CaptchaText's brand identity is essential. While we provide flexibility in how you promote our service, we expect all promotional activities to maintain professional standards and accurately represent our service's capabilities. Any use of our brand assets, including logos, trademarks, and marketing materials, must comply with our brand guidelines and be used solely for promoting CaptchaText services.
As an affiliate marketer, you should be aware of and follow the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines regarding endorsements and advertising. These guidelines recommend clear disclosure of affiliate relationships in your promotional content.

Cookies and Privacy
Our commitment to transparent data practices includes clear disclosure about our use of tracking technologies. For affiliate program operations, a secure tracking cookie with a 90-day validity period is deposited when users engage with affiliate links - this is an essential component of our commission attribution system. These cookies work alongside other tracking methods to ensure accurate reward distribution while respecting user privacy.
Our affiliate tracking system operates in compliance with global privacy standards and data protection regulations. We maintain strict protocols for handling user data collected through our tracking system. All data collection practices align with current privacy laws and industry best practices. Our comprehensive Privacy Policy details how we collect, process, and protect user information in relation to our affiliate program. For complete information about our privacy practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy at: https://www.captchatext.com/privacy.html
Severability
If any provision of this Affiliate TOS is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Affiliate TOS shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The invalidity of any part of these terms shall not impair or affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of these terms.
Indemnification
As an affiliate, you agree to indemnify and hold CaptchaText harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your promotional activities, violation of these Affiliate Terms, or violation of any rights of another party. You agree to reimburse CaptchaText for what it pays to satisfy a judgment or settle a case, including reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs CaptchaText incurs in defending itself.
