Affiliate Program Agreement
This agreement is designed with you in mind, as well as to protect Case of Adventure and our customers.
Affiliate Registration
We review and moderate all affiliate registrations, and we appreciate your accurate and honest information. Please note that the review process may take a few days – and we appreciate your patience!
Once approved, you’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote Case of Adventure via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for visits and referrals information and graphics for our various products.
Commissions and payouts
You’ll earn 15% commission when a customer purchases Case of Adventure products from the Case of Adventure website using your referral link.
We pay out affiliate commissions in USD via PayPal in the first week of every month. There is no minimum payout balance.
We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases.
The details in summary:
- You’ll receive 15% commission for every new sale you refer.
- Commissions will be paid monthly.
- Referrals are paid out via PayPal.
Referral cookie lifetime
When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for 190 days (6 months) to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase from Case of Adventure, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.
A referral won’t be awarded if:
- The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser).
- The customer purchases after 190 days (because the cookie will expire).
Refunded purchases
If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.
We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:
- The sale that the referral was based on was refunded.
- The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.

By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive emails from Case of Adventure. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, and may include important information regarding the Case of Adventure affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote Case of Adventure. As an affiliate you may be privy to embargoed or time-sensitive information in these emails (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted). And we won’t spam you, ever – promise!
Affiliate application rejection
We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection.
Affiliate applications for websites that sell, advertise or engage in pornography, phishing scams, spamming, illegal business practices, or that include any material infringing on national or international Copyright will automatically be rejected.

- We didn’t understand something in your application, or,
- We’d like to learn a bit more about how you will promote Case of Adventure and need a little more detail.
