Partnering with other spiritual entrepreneurs — guest teaching in someone's program, co-hosting an event, running an affiliate arrangement, or collaborating on a joint offering — is one of the best ways to grow in this space. But doing it without a written agreement creates real risk for both parties: unclear deliverables, disputed commissions, confusion over who owns the content you create together, and no exit plan if things go sideways.

This Collaborator & Affiliate Agreement covers it all in one flexible document. Written in plain, straightforward English by a licensed attorney, it's built to handle both collaborative projects and affiliate/referral arrangements — separately or together — so you're protected no matter how the partnership is structured.

🪄WHAT'S INCLUDED: Collaborator & Affiliate Agreement

A single flexible agreement that works for collaborations, affiliate arrangements, or both at once:

•The Parties — identifies both business and collaborator clearly; checkbox to designate whether the agreement covers an affiliate arrangement, a collaboration, or both

•Scope of Collaboration — project name, collaborator's role and deliverables, project timeline, platform and format (for collaboration agreements)

•Affiliate & Referral Terms — commission structure (percentage or flat fee per sale), qualifying sale definition, products covered, tracking and attribution method, cookie/attribution window, payment schedule and method (for affiliate arrangements)

•Promotional Guidelines & Brand Standards — accuracy requirements, FTC compliance, prohibited practices including spam, unauthorized discounts, and branded keyword bidding

•Intellectual Property — each party retains their own IP; limited license for promotional use; joint content ownership options

•Confidentiality — mutual obligation to protect non-public information shared during the partnership; survives termination

•Independent Contractor — collaborator is not an employee; each party responsible for their own taxes

•Term & Termination — agreement duration; termination for convenience with notice; termination for cause; post-termination obligations including removal of affiliate links and final commission payment

•Representations & Warranties — both parties confirm authority to enter the agreement and no conflicts with existing obligations

•Limitation of Liability — mutual liability cap to the maximum extent permitted by law

•Governing Law — state law designation and dispute resolution

•Entire Agreement — merger clause + signature block for both parties
