Breaking Down Contract Terms: What You Need to Know

Understand the terms of your affiliate contract including device types, product categories, and regions of referrals you get paid for.

Whether you just joined the program or we've worked out a custom deal, we want to make sure you understand the terms in our affiliate contract.

For custom commissions and performance-based affiliate challenges, we look at device type, product type, and region to determine payouts that are beneficial to you as well as HubSpot. Ultimately, if you refer high-quality users, you'll get paid more.

Key terms in your HubSpot affiliate contract to familiarize yourself with:

Text3: The device used to sign up for HubSpot such as desktop or mobile
Customer Region: The location of your referral
Item Category: The product your referral signed up for and/or purchased
Text5: Internal attribution tracking
