Phocus L.
G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.

Influencer Agreement
Texas
Can an influencer agreement be terminated by the brand without cause?
I recently entered into an influencer agreement with a brand, but I have concerns about the termination clause in the contract. The agreement does not specify whether the brand can terminate the contract without cause, and I want to understand my rights and obligations in case the brand decides to terminate the agreement unexpectedly.
Sara S.
Hi, Your rights and obligations in case the brand decides to terminate the agreement "unexpectedly" largely depend on why the brand terminates the agreement, and what exactly the termination clause says.

Affiliate Program Agreement
Massachusetts
Need clarification on Affiliate Program Agreement.
I recently joined an affiliate program for a popular online retailer and received their Affiliate Program Agreement, which is quite lengthy and filled with legal jargon. I want to make sure I fully understand my rights and obligations as an affiliate before signing the agreement, so I'm seeking clarification from a lawyer to ensure I'm making an informed decision.
Randy M.
Affiliate agreements may look standard on the surface, but small clauses can carry major consequences. If you’re working with or about to join an affiliate program, understanding what’s actually buried in the fine print could make the difference between earning predictably and running into serious problems later. Let’s walk through the sections that matter most. Commission Structure and Payment Terms This is where your earning potential lives or dies. Most affiliate programs pay a percentage of the sale, usually anywhere from 1 to 15 percent for physical products. Digital services often pay more, sometimes 30 to 50 percent or even higher, but they also tend to come with more clawbacks and stricter compliance rules. Keep an eye out for tiered commissions. If the program offers higher rates based on volume, that can be a game changer over time. But make sure you understand exactly how those tiers work and whether resets happen monthly, quarterly, or never. Then there’s the payout schedule. A $25 or $50 minimum threshold is typical, and most programs pay monthly. But what often gets buried is the delay. It’s not unusual to see 30 to 60 day lags before payment, supposedly to cover returns and fraud. That delay can hurt cash flow, especially if you're buying traffic or scaling campaigns. Cookie duration is another area affiliates tend to overlook. Amazon famously uses a 24-hour cookie, while other programs, especially in finance or SaaS, offer 30 to 90 days. But almost all use last-click attribution. That means if someone clicks your link, then someone else's before buying, they get the credit, not you. In competitive niches, this can get frustrating fast. Watch out for clawback provisions, too. These clauses let companies reverse your commissions for things like returns, chargebacks, cancellations, or suspected fraud. Some clawbacks go back 90 or even 180 days. If you're not budgeting for that kind of volatility, you could end up in the red. Marketing Restrictions and Operational Limits Affiliate agreements almost always limit how you can market. For example, trademark bidding is usually off-limits. You’re not allowed to buy Google Ads on the brand’s name unless they’ve given explicit permission, which they rarely do. Email marketing is another hot spot. Some programs ban it completely. Others only allow it if your subscribers opted in to receive marketing from you specifically. Purchased lists are a nonstarter. And be prepared to show proof of consent, often in the form of a double opt-in process. Cookie stuffing is a hard no. It’s considered fraud. So are shady browser extensions, forced redirects, and any tactic that drops a cookie without the user knowing and actively clicking. Violating these rules is grounds for immediate termination, and in some cases, legal action. And don’t assume you can do whatever you want with content. Most programs prohibit associating their brand with anything controversial, including gambling, adult material, political content, and other high-risk topics. Some luxury brands go even further, banning coupon codes or discount promos entirely to protect their image. Legal Compliance and Disclosure Obligations If you're promoting affiliate links, you’re expected to follow FTC guidelines. That means clear and prominent disclosures. Not buried in the footer. Not hidden behind a link. Right where the promotion appears, in plain language. Something like, “I earn a commission from purchases made through these links.” This is non-negotiable, and the FTC has started cracking down on violators. Beyond that, depending on what you're promoting, state laws may come into play. California's Consumer Privacy Act, for example, imposes specific requirements if you're collecting personal data, even indirectly. Financial and health-related offers carry their own rules, too. And if you're outside the U.S., the rules don’t get easier. The EU requires explicit transparency under the Digital Services Act, and Canada has its own competition laws around sponsored content. Intellectual Property and Branding Guidelines Most affiliate programs give you limited, revocable rights to use their logos or trademarks. These rights are non-exclusive, and they can take them back at any time. You’re not allowed to modify logos, create variations, or use brand names in your own domains or social handles. Some companies do provide approved banners and creatives, but many require you to submit anything custom for approval. And making a site that looks too much like the company’s official site can get you banned quickly. Termination Terms and Account Access Risks Almost every agreement includes an “at-will” termination clause. This means the company can cut you off at any time, without explanation or warning. For affiliates who’ve invested heavily in content, ads, or SEO around a specific offer, that’s a real business risk. Then there are survival clauses. These spell out which parts of the agreement still apply even after you’re terminated. Things like indemnification, confidentiality, and IP restrictions often survive indefinitely, so don’t assume you’re off the hook just because the partnership ends. Some programs allow appeals if your account gets flagged. Others don’t. Know the reinstatement process ahead of time, just in case. Risk Exposure and Liability Clauses Here’s where things can get dangerous. Most agreements limit the company’s liability, usually to the total commissions they’ve paid you in the last 12 months. That means if a tracking issue wipes out a month of commissions, your recourse is limited, even if it wasn’t your fault. Meanwhile, you may be signing up for much more exposure. Indemnification clauses often require you to cover the company’s legal costs if your marketing causes problems. This could include a false claim that triggers a lawsuit or a privacy violation that leads to a regulatory fine. These liabilities can easily exceed your commissions. There are also geo-restrictions to consider. If the program only allows marketing in certain states or countries, violating those terms, even by mistake, can put you in breach. Modification Rights and Policy Changes Unilateral modification clauses give the company the right to change the rules at any time. That includes commission rates, cookie windows, payout schedules, and acceptable marketing methods. They’re usually not required to get your approval. A dashboard alert or email counts as notice, and if you keep promoting after that, it’s considered acceptance. That’s why it's important to check your affiliate dashboard regularly and avoid relying too heavily on one program. Things can and do change overnight. Tax Status and Reporting Obligations If you're a U.S.-based affiliate, you’re almost always considered an independent contractor. That means you’re responsible for your own taxes, including self-employment tax, quarterly estimated payments, and any state or local business filings. Once you earn $600 or more in a calendar year, you'll get a 1099-NEC. International affiliates may face different rules depending on the country and whether a tax treaty applies. Keep in mind that expenses related to your affiliate activities, like ad spend, hosting fees, software tools, and continuing education, can be deductible. But it’s your responsibility to keep clean records. Disputes and Legal Proceedings Many affiliate agreements include mandatory arbitration clauses. This means if a dispute arises, you can’t sue. You’ll have to go through arbitration, often in the company’s home state. That adds costs, delays, and travel headaches if you’re located elsewhere. There’s usually a choice of law clause too. Most companies pick jurisdictions favorable to them. Delaware, Nevada, and California are common. This governs how the agreement is interpreted and enforced. And if you were thinking of joining a class-action lawsuit over a program-wide issue, think again. Most agreements waive that right entirely, forcing you into one-on-one arbitration. One Final Word of Caution Before you sign, read the definitions section carefully. Terms like “qualified sale” or “prohibited activity” are often packed with conditions and exclusions that can seriously affect your earnings. Don’t gloss over this part. If you're considering a high-volume program or one with aggressive compliance language, it’s worth getting legal eyes on the agreement. This is especially true if indemnification or clawbacks could leave you financially exposed. If you’d like someone to walk you through yours, there are attorneys on Contracts Counsel who can help.
