Colorado Crusher Affiliate Program Terms

Effective date: September 3, 2026
Last updated: September 3, 2026

These Affiliate Program Terms ("Terms") govern your participation in the Colorado Crusher Affiliate Program (the "Program").

The Program is operated by MAWA DEVELOPMENT LLC, a Texas limited liability company, doing business as Colorado Crusher and The Crusher Co ("Colorado Crusher," "we," "us," or "our"), in connection with our store at thecrusherco.com (the "Store"). References to "Colorado Crusher" and "The Crusher Co" are trade names of MAWA DEVELOPMENT LLC and do not identify a separate legal entity.

By submitting an affiliate application, and by participating in the Program, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not apply and do not participate.

1. Eligibility

To apply for and remain in the Program, you must:

1.1 Be at least 21 years of age. This is a strict requirement. Our products are adult smoking accessories, and participation is limited to adults aged 21 or older regardless of the minimum age in your country, state, or locality. You must confirm your age at signup.

1.2 Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.

1.3 Provide accurate, complete, and current information in your application, including your legal name, email address, country, promotional platform(s), and audience information.

1.4 Own or lawfully control any website, social media account, newsletter, or other channel you use to promote Colorado Crusher.

1.5 Not be a resident of, or promote into, any jurisdiction where promotion or sale of our products is unlawful.

We may request reasonable verification of your age or identity at any time. Failure to provide it is grounds for termination and for withholding of commissions in accordance with Section 11.4.

2. Application and Approval

2.1 All applications require manual review and approval. Submitting an application does not create an affiliate relationship. You become an affiliate only when we approve your application in writing (including by email confirmation from the affiliate portal).

2.2 Subject to applicable law, we may approve or decline any application at our discretion, including where your content, audience, promotional methods, or compliance history are not a fit for our brand. We do not decline applications on any basis prohibited by applicable law.

2.3 Until approved, you have no right to use our referral links, coupon codes, trademarks, or promotional materials, and you will earn no commission.

2.4 We may require additional information before deciding, and may leave an application pending while we review it.

3. Your Affiliate Account

3.1 On approval you receive a unique referral tracking link and, where issued, a personal discount coupon code.

3.2 Your referral link and coupon code are personal to you. You may not sell, transfer, share, or sublicense them, or allow another person to promote under your account.

3.3 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

3.4 One person or entity may hold one affiliate account. Where duplicate accounts are opened, we may consolidate or close the duplicates; commissions validly earned on genuine referrals will be honored on the surviving account.

4. Commission

4.1 Commission rate: 10% of the eligible discounted merchandise subtotal of a Qualifying Order.

4.2 "Eligible discounted merchandise subtotal" means the price of physical merchandise actually purchased, after discounts. Commission is calculated excluding:

• sales tax and any other taxes
• shipping and handling fees
• discounts, promotional codes, and automatic store discounts — commission is calculated on the discounted amount actually payable for the merchandise, not the pre-discount price
• amounts refunded, returned, or cancelled
• the purchase price of gift cards. A gift card is stored value, not merchandise. Buying a gift card earns no commission, and the sale of a gift card is not a Qualifying Order.

Payment with a gift card. Where a customer buys merchandise and pays for it, wholly or partly, using a gift card, that order remains a Qualifying Order. Commission is calculated on the eligible discounted merchandise subtotal in the normal way. The customer's method of payment does not reduce or disqualify your commission.

4.3 Worked example. A customer buys $100 of merchandise, uses a 10% code (−$10), and pays $9 shipping plus $8 tax, settling the balance with a gift card. The eligible discounted merchandise subtotal is $90. Your commission is 10% of $90 = $9.00. No commission is earned on shipping or tax, and the use of a gift card to pay does not affect the calculation.

4.4 We may change the commission rate, coupon value, or structure at any time on notice under Section 12. Changes apply to orders placed after the effective date of the change and do not affect commissions already accrued.

5. Qualifying Orders and Attribution

5.1 An order qualifies for commission when it is placed through your valid referral link within the tracking window, or with your personal coupon code, and it is completed and paid.

5.2 Tracking window (cookie duration): 7 days from the customer's click on your referral link. If the customer's cookie expires, is blocked, or is cleared, or the customer completes the purchase on a different device or browser, the order may not be attributed to you. We are not liable for orders that our tracking software does not record.

5.3 Where more than one affiliate could be credited, the order is attributed according to our tracking software's attribution logic.

5.4 Our tracking and reporting records are the primary record of clicks, orders, and commissions, subject to your right to raise a dispute under Section 7.8.

6. Orders That Earn No Commission

No commission is earned, and any commission already recorded will be reversed, on orders that are:

6.1 Refunded in full

6.2 Cancelled before or after fulfilment

6.3 Returned by the customer

6.4 Charged back, disputed, or reversed by the customer, their bank, or the payment processor

6.5 Fraudulent, or flagged as high risk by our payment or fraud systems

6.6 Duplicate orders, or test orders

6.7 Self-referred — orders you place yourself, or that are placed using your own referral link or coupon code by you, a member of your household, or any account or entity you control.

Commission is not payable on any self-referred order, and any commission recorded on such an order will be reversed. Where self-referral appears deliberate or repeated, we may also suspend or terminate your participation under Section 11 and withhold other unpaid commissions in accordance with Section 11.4 while we investigate.

6.8 Placed in breach of these Terms, or generated by prohibited promotional methods under Section 9.

6.9 Partial refunds. Where an order is partially refunded, your commission is reduced proportionally so that you are paid only on the value of merchandise the customer actually kept. Partially refunded orders are held for manual review and recalculation before payout, and the recalculated amount will be shown in your affiliate portal.

6.10 We may withhold or reverse commission on any order we reasonably believe falls into the categories above, including after payment has been made, in which case the amount may be offset against your next payout. Where we reverse a commission after payment, we will tell you which order it relates to.

7. Payment

7.1 Holding period. Commissions are held for a minimum of 30 days from the order date before becoming eligible for payout. This period allows returns, refunds, chargebacks, and fraud reviews to resolve.

"Approved" does not mean payable. Our affiliate software may mark a commission as "approved" as soon as the underlying order is paid. That status reflects the order's payment state only. A commission does not become payable until (a) at least 30 days have passed since the order date, and (b) we have confirmed the order remains valid and has not been refunded, cancelled, charged back, or otherwise disqualified under Section 6.

7.2 Payment schedule. Payouts are processed manually, once per calendar month, covering eligible commissions that have cleared the holding period. We do not operate automatic or instant payouts.

7.3 Minimum payout threshold: $50.00 USD. If your eligible balance is below $50 at the time of a payout run, your balance carries forward to the following month until the threshold is met. Balances carried forward remain yours.

7.4 Payment method. Payouts are made to the payment details you provide in the affiliate portal. You are responsible for providing accurate and current payment details. We are not responsible for payments correctly sent to an account you supplied, and we may deduct fees actually incurred on a failed or returned payment caused by incorrect details.

7.5 Currency. All commissions are calculated and paid in US Dollars. Any currency conversion or receiving fees charged by your payment provider are your responsibility.

7.6 Taxes and tax documentation. You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying all taxes owed on commissions you receive. Commissions are paid gross.

We may require you to provide a completed IRS Form W-9 (U.S. persons), IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (non-U.S. persons), or other tax documentation reasonably required by applicable law, before we issue payment. Payment may be delayed until valid documentation is provided.

We will issue any tax information return or statement that applicable law requires us to issue in respect of amounts paid to you, and will apply backup withholding or any other withholding, deduction, or reporting where applicable law requires it. Withheld amounts are treated as paid to you for the purposes of these Terms. Thresholds and filing requirements are set by law and change from time to time; we follow the requirements in force at the relevant time.

7.7 Unpaid and unclaimed balances. We do not forfeit legitimately earned commissions because of inactivity.

If we are unable to pay you because you have not provided valid payment details or required tax documentation, or because we cannot reach you at the email address on your account, your balance remains recorded to your account and payment may be delayed until the missing information is provided. We will make reasonable attempts to contact you at the email address on file.

Where a balance remains unclaimed and we are unable to reach you, we will handle it in accordance with applicable unclaimed-property (escheat) law, including reporting and remitting the balance to the relevant authority where required.

7.8 Disputes. If you disagree with a recorded commission, a reversal, or a payout amount, you must notify us within 60 days of the date on which the relevant commission decision, adjustment, or payout statement first becomes visible to you in the affiliate portal or is otherwise communicated to you, whichever is earlier. We will review in good faith and respond. After 60 days, the amount is treated as final, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

7.9 How these policies are administered. Some of the policies in these Terms are contractual commitments that we administer manually, because our affiliate software does not enforce them automatically on our current plan. In particular:

• the 30-day holding period in Section 7.1 is applied by us at payout time; the software may show a commission as "approved" earlier
• partial-refund recalculation under Section 6.9 is performed by us manually on review
• monthly payout timing and the $50 threshold are applied by us when we run each payout

These are binding obligations on us under these Terms regardless of what the software displays. The status shown in the affiliate portal is an operational indicator, not a payment decision.

8. Required Disclosure

8.1 You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship with Colorado Crusher every time you promote us. This is a legal requirement under the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides, and equivalent rules in other jurisdictions.

8.2 Your disclosure must be:

• Placed up front, before or alongside the affiliate link or code — not buried at the end of a caption, behind a "more" link, in a bio only, or in a comment
• In plain language your audience will understand
• Legible and audible — readable on screen for long enough to be noticed, or spoken aloud in video

8.3 Acceptable examples include: "Affiliate link," "#ad," "Paid partnership," "I earn a commission from purchases made through this link."

8.4 Platform disclosure tools (such as a "Paid partnership" label) are helpful but do not replace a clear written or spoken disclosure.

8.5 You are responsible for your own compliance with the FTC Endorsement Guides and any other advertising or consumer-protection law that applies to you and your audience.

9. Promotional Rules and Prohibited Conduct

9.1 Where you may promote

You may promote Colorado Crusher on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, your own website or blog, an email newsletter, or other channels — but only where the platform's own rules permit it.

Many platforms restrict or prohibit content promoting smoking accessories, tobacco, or related products, and restrict such content to adult audiences. It is your responsibility to read and follow the current rules of every platform you use. We are not responsible for content removals, demonetization, restrictions, or account suspensions you incur.

You must not promote to audiences that are primarily minors, or on accounts, channels, or content directed at minors.

9.2 Claims you must never make

You must not state or imply that Colorado Crusher products:

• treat, cure, prevent, diagnose, or relieve any medical or health condition
• provide any health, therapeutic, medicinal, or wellness benefit
• are intended for use with cannabis, tobacco, or any controlled or illegal substance
• are legal or appropriate for any use that is unlawful in the customer's jurisdiction

You must not make any false, misleading, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated claim about our products, our company, our pricing, or our promotions, and must not make any claim that encourages illegal activity.

9.3 Product accuracy

You may only describe our products using information we have published or supplied to you. Specifically, you must not:

• invent or state specifications, dimensions, materials, or performance figures we have not published
• describe our products as "aircraft-grade aluminum," "aircraft aluminum," or "aerospace-grade." The correct wording is "premium aluminum construction" or "high-quality aluminum construction"
• create, generate, or publish artificial, AI-generated, or mocked-up images presented as real Colorado Crusher product photos, or any image that misrepresents the appearance, finish, colour, or construction of our products
• alter, recolour, distort, or reconstruct our logo, packaging, or product design in any image
• produce, sell, distribute, or promote counterfeit, replica, or imitation Colorado Crusher products, or apply our branding to goods that are not ours

If you need product images or specifications, request them from us.

9.4 Prohibited promotional methods

You must not:

• bid on "Colorado Crusher," "The Crusher Co," "thecrusherco," or confusingly similar terms in paid search, or use them in paid-search ad copy or display URLs
• run paid advertising that directs to our Store using your affiliate link without our prior written permission
• register or use any domain name, social handle, app, or page that incorporates our brand names or a confusingly similar variation
• impersonate Colorado Crusher, or represent yourself as an employee, agent, or official account
• post your coupon code to coupon aggregator, deal, or cashback sites without our prior written permission
• use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframes, redirects, adware, browser extensions, typosquatting, or any method that sets tracking without a genuine, intentional user click
• generate clicks or orders by artificial means, incentivize purchases with your own rebate, or otherwise manipulate tracking
• purchase through your own link or code (see Section 6.7)
• promote alongside content that is hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise unlawful
• misrepresent pricing, promotions, availability, shipping times, or our return policy

9.5 Email, SMS, automated messaging, and direct messages

9.5.1 Consent is mandatory. You must not send any commercial email, SMS or MMS text message, automated or pre-recorded call or message, push notification, or unsolicited direct or private message promoting Colorado Crusher unless you hold all consent required by applicable law from each recipient, in the form and with the record-keeping that law requires.

9.5.2 Applicable law. You must comply with all laws governing your marketing, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and its implementing rules, state telemarketing and messaging laws, and — where your recipients are outside the United States — any equivalent laws such as CASL, the GDPR/ePrivacy rules, or others that apply to you or your audience.

9.5.3 Message standards. Every commercial message you send promoting Colorado Crusher must:

• use truthful, accurate sender information — "from," "to," reply-to, routing and originating details must not be false or misleading
• carry a subject line that accurately reflects the content and is not deceptive
• identify the message as an advertisement where the law requires it
• include a valid physical postal address for you, where the law requires it
• clearly identify you as the sender. You must not send messages that appear to come from Colorado Crusher, MAWA DEVELOPMENT LLC, or any of our official accounts
• include the affiliate disclosure required by Section 8

9.5.4 Opt-out. Every commercial message must contain a clear, conspicuous, and working opt-out mechanism that remains functional for at least as long as the law requires. You must honor every opt-out request promptly and within the period the law requires, and you must not sell, transfer, or reuse an address or number that has opted out.

9.5.5 Your lists, your records. You are solely responsible for how you build and maintain your marketing lists. You must maintain your own records of consent and opt-outs and produce them to us promptly on reasonable request. You must not use, rent, buy, scrape, or harvest lists, and you must not use our customer data for your own marketing.

9.5.6 Direct messages. Unsolicited bulk or automated direct messaging on social platforms, including mass DMs, comment spam, and automated outreach tools, is prohibited regardless of whether a specific law addresses it, and is in any event subject to each platform's own rules under Section 9.1.

9.6 Customer relationship

Customers referred by you are our customers. You must not collect, store, or use our customers' personal data on our behalf, place orders on their behalf, or handle customer service, returns, or refunds. Direct all customer enquiries to us.

10. Brand and Content License

10.1 While you are an approved affiliate in good standing, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Colorado Crusher name, logo, and promotional materials we supply, solely to promote the Store in accordance with these Terms.

10.2 You must not modify our logo, alter our product designs, or combine our marks with your own branding in a way that suggests joint ownership or endorsement of your other products.

10.3 This licence ends immediately when your participation ends. On termination you must promptly remove our marks, links, and coupon codes from all your channels.

10.4 Your content. You retain full ownership of the content you create.

What you grant us. While you are participating in the Program, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to share and repost, organically, on our own marketing channels, the Colorado Crusher promotional content you have already made publicly available — for example resharing your public post, story, video, or review to our own social accounts, website, or newsletter. We will provide attribution to your handle or name wherever the format reasonably allows.

What requires your separate permission. We will ask you first, and will not rely on this Section, before:

• using your content in paid advertising of any kind
• making material edits to your content, or using it out of its original context in a way that changes its meaning
• continuing to use your content after your participation ends

After termination. On termination, this licence ends. We will stop new use of your content and will remove existing reposts from channels we control within a reasonable period on your written request, except that we are not required to recall content already distributed by third parties or held in routine archives or backups.

You may grant us broader rights expressly and in writing, in which case those rights apply on the terms you agree.

10.5 All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of our intellectual property to you, or of your intellectual property to us.

11. Term, Suspension, and Termination

11.1 These Terms begin when we approve your application and continue until terminated.

11.2 You may leave the Program at any time by notifying us or ceasing participation. Eligible commissions already accrued and cleared will be paid at the next payout run, subject to the minimum threshold.

11.3 We may suspend or terminate your participation at any time, with or without cause, at our discretion and subject to applicable law. Where we terminate without cause, commissions you have validly earned remain payable under Section 7.

11.4 Effect of breach on commissions. If you breach these Terms:

(a) Commissions connected to the breach are forfeited. You have no right to, and we may reverse and reclaim, any commission arising from or connected with the breach — including commissions on self-referred orders, orders generated by fraud, artificial or manipulated traffic, prohibited promotional methods, undisclosed endorsements, unlawful marketing under Section 9.5, or misrepresentation in your application (including as to your age).

(b) We may withhold other unpaid commissions while we investigate. Where we have a reasonable, good-faith basis to suspect fraud or a material breach, we may place your account and your unpaid balance on hold for a period reasonably necessary to investigate. We will notify you that a hold has been placed and, on request, tell you in general terms why. If the investigation does not substantiate the suspected breach, the hold is released and the withheld commissions are paid at the next payout run.

(c) Offset. We may offset against your unpaid balance any loss, chargeback, refund, fine, penalty, or reasonable cost we actually incur as a result of your breach. Any offset must be proportionate to the loss it addresses.

(d) Limits. Except as set out above, and except where forfeiture is permitted by applicable law and proportionate to the breach, we will not withhold commissions that you validly earned on genuine, unrelated referrals. Nothing in this Section permits a penalty that applicable law does not allow.

11.5 Termination does not limit any other remedy available to either party.

12. Changes to These Terms and to the Program

12.1 We may modify these Terms at any time. The current version is always available at the link provided in your affiliate portal.

12.2 We will give notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms with a revised "Last updated" date and, where the change materially reduces your rights or commissions, by notifying you at the email address on your account. Material changes take effect on the date stated in the notice.

12.3 Your continued participation after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to leave the Program; commissions validly earned before you leave remain payable under Section 7.

12.4 We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Program in whole or in part at any time, subject to payment of commissions already validly earned.

13. Relationship of the Parties

13.1 You are an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, or agent of MAWA DEVELOPMENT LLC.

13.2 Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship. You have no authority to make any commitment, representation, warranty, or contract on our behalf.

13.3 You control the manner and means of your own promotional activity. You are responsible for your own business expenses, equipment, taxes, and any licences or registrations your activity requires.

14. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

14.1 The Program, the affiliate portal, and all tracking and reporting are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that tracking will be uninterrupted, error-free, or capture every order.

14.2 We are not liable to you for lost or untracked commissions, lost profits, lost data, lost opportunity, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the Program.

14.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims relating to the Program is limited to the total commissions actually paid to you in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14.4 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MAWA DEVELOPMENT LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, penalty, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

• your promotional content, statements, or claims
• your breach of these Terms
• your failure to disclose the affiliate relationship as required by Section 8
• your email, SMS, automated messaging, or direct-message activity, including any claim under CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, or equivalent law
• your violation of any law, regulation, platform rule, or third-party right, including intellectual property and privacy rights
• your negligence or wilful misconduct

16. Governing Law and Disputes

16.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

16.2 The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Fort Bend County, Texas, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere.

16.3 The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Program and supersede all prior discussions and agreements about it.

17.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in full force, and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.

17.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.

17.5 Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your affiliate account. It is your responsibility to keep it current.

17.6 Survival. Sections 6, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 10.3–10.5, 11.4, 14, 15, 16, and 17 survive termination.
