Brand Ambassador Program Terms and Conditions

This Ambassador Program Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Ambassador" or "you") and Race Chick, LLC ("Company," "we," or "us") and governs your participation in the Racechick Ambassador Program ("Program").

By applying to the Program, you agree to these terms.

1. Program Overview

What You Do: Promote our women's racing safety gear and apparel to your network using your unique referral code or affiliate link.

What You Get: Earn tiered commissions (10-15%) on qualifying purchases made through your referrals, plus performance-based product rewards.

Relationship: You're an independent contractor, not an employee. You cannot make commitments on our behalf.

Important Email Notice: Program notifications will be sent from Buzzbassador at noreply@buzzbassadorapp.com or noreply@app.buzzbassadorapp.com, as well as from ambassador@racechick.com. You must whitelist these email addresses to ensure you receive important updates about your account, commissions, and program changes. Emails sent to spam/junk are still considered delivered, and you're responsible for any missed communications.

You can update your information by emailing us at ambassador@racechick.com or accessing your Buzzbassador portal at https://buzzbassadorapp.com/member-login

2. Eligibility & Requirements

To participate, you must:

Be at least 18 years old
Be an active female racer or involved in motorsports
Have a PayPal, Venmo, or bank account for commission payments
Follow FTC disclosure requirements (see Section 3)
Keep your account information current
Follow all program rules and applicable laws
Maintain active social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, and/or TikTok)

3. FTC Disclosure Requirements

The FTC requires you to clearly disclose your relationship with us. You must:

For Social Media Posts:

Include #ad or #ambassador in a clear and conspicuous way
Place disclosures where they can't be missed (not buried in hashtags)
Make disclosures in the same language as your post
Include disclosures in videos/stories, not just descriptions
Tag @racechick in all posts featuring our products

For In-Person/Direct Referrals:

Verbally disclose that you earn commissions when sharing with friends/family
Be honest about your experience with our products
Never make false or misleading claims

Remember: "Clear and conspicuous" means your audience should easily notice and understand that you have a financial relationship with us.

4. How to Promote

You have two ways to track referrals:

1. Affiliate Link:

Your personalized link automatically applies your discount and tracks the sale
Most reliable tracking method - protects against missed commissions
Best for: Bio links, posts, stories, emails, swipe-ups

2. Referral Code:

Your unique code that customers enter at checkout for their discount
Great for casual conversations, DMs, or verbal sharing
May not track if: sitewide sales override it, browser extensions (like Honey) inject different codes, or other promotions take precedence

*Customer discount percentage subject to change per Section 8

Important: Both methods earn you commission, but we strongly recommend using your affiliate link whenever possible. Your link acts as a backup to ensure you get credit even if your discount code doesn't get applied at checkout. This helps prevent missed commissions from technical issues or competing promotions.

Where You Can Promote:

Social media profiles and content (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube)
Personal blog or website
In-person to friends, family, and racing network
Direct messages to people you know
Email to your personal contacts
Racing events, track days, and motorsports gatherings

As long as someone genuinely finds our brand through your personal efforts and uses your code or link, you'll earn commission. This includes word-of-mouth referrals!

5. Program Rules

Do:

Share authentically with people in your genuine network
Be honest about your experience with our products
Tag @racechick in all social media posts
Post 2-3 times per month on social media
Share 2-3 stories/reels per month with your code
Respect other ambassadors
Track your referrals properly using your code or link
Maintain professional, positive presence online
Respond to comments and DMs about Racechick products

Don't:

Use your own code or link to place personal orders (self-referrals)
Post your code on our brand's social media pages
Submit your code to coupon/deal sites (RetailMeNot, Honey, SimplyCodes, Rakuten, CouponCabin, Slickdeals, etc.)*
Mass-distribute your code to strangers or bulk lists
Run paid ads without our written permission (includes Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, TikTok Ads, etc.)
Misrepresent your relationship with us
Sell products at events without written permission
Promote competing women's racing safety gear brands while in the program
Post offensive, discriminatory, or unsafe content
Use filters or editing that misrepresents our products

Note on Coupon Site Leaks: We regularly monitor coupon sites for leaked codes. If your code is found on these sites, we'll immediately replace it with a new code and delete the leaked one. This protects you from unauthorized use of your code and ensures accurate commission tracking. Your affiliate link remains unchanged, and your new code will appear in your Buzzbassador dashboard.

6. Commissions

Commission Structure:

Tiered Commission Rates:

Tier 1: 10% commission (Quarterly sales: $0-$750)
Tier 2: 12% commission (Quarterly sales: $751-$1,500)
Tier 3: 15% commission (Quarterly sales: $1,501+)

Commission calculated on net sales (after discounts, taxes, shipping) *Commission rates subject to change per Section 8

Qualifying Purchases:

Customer uses your code at checkout OR clicks your affiliate link
Payment is successfully processed
Order is not cancelled/returned
Sale can be from online or in-person referrals you made

Processing Period:

Commissions enter a 60-day processing period after the sale
This protects against returns and refunds (we have a 30-day return policy)
Your commission becomes payable only after this period ends
Example: If you make a sale on October 1st, we validate it in November, and it becomes payable in December

Payment:

Paid monthly in USD
Payment method: Cash via PayPal, Venmo, bank transfer, or store credit (via Tremendous at our discretion)
If paid in store credit, learn how to redeem at: https://help.buzzbassador.com/en/articles/11869655-members-how-to-redeem-store-credit-payouts
Minimum payout: $25
Commissions are paid approximately 30-45 days after month end (after 60-day validation period)
Only commissions that have completed their processing period are included
You're responsible for payment processor fees and taxes

Payment Method Requirements:

For cash payouts, you must maintain accurate and valid payment information in your Buzzbassador account. If we cannot pay your commissions due to incorrect, outdated, or missing payment details, we'll attempt to notify you. However, if you fail to update your payment method within 90 days of earned commissions becoming payable, those commissions may be considered forfeited. We're not responsible for payments sent to incorrect accounts due to your error.

To set up payment: Log into Buzzbassador → Click Settings (upper right) → Add PayPal account OR contact us at ambassador@racechick.com for Venmo/bank transfer via Tremendous.

Forfeiture for Violations:

Commissions will be automatically forfeited and declined if they result from any fraudulent or prohibited activity, including but not limited to:

Sales generated from codes leaked to coupon sites
Self-referrals (using your own code for personal purchases)
Any violation of these terms

We reserve the right to withhold all pending commissions if fraudulent activity is suspected or confirmed.

Tracking Your Earnings:

The "My Earnings" page in your Buzzbassador portal shows only your paid transaction history. You won't see:

Commissions still in the processing period
Commissions that are due but not yet paid
Any pending or upcoming payouts

Payouts will only appear after you've actually received the payment. Contact us at ambassador@racechick.com if you have questions about pending commissions.

Why the wait? Since customers can return items within our return period, we hold commissions until we're sure the sale is final. This prevents situations where you'd get paid for a sale that gets refunded later.

Exclusions:

No commission on:

Orders you place using your own code or link (self-referrals)*
Orders after your termination
Cancelled/returned orders
Purchases from unauthorized paid advertising
Purchases from codes leaked to coupon sites*
Improperly tracked orders

*These violations may also result in forfeiture of all pending commissions
