Referral Terms

The honest fine print

Share your referral link. When someone sponsors Sean through it, you earn a split of what they contribute. Here's exactly how that works — no surprises.

The split

You earn 50% of the sponsorship amount attributed to your link. Earnings are tracked in your dashboard ledger and paid manually by Sean — there is no automated payout at launch.

Attribution

Attribution is first-touch: the first referral link a sponsor arrives through wins, and it sticks for 30 days. A later link does not overwrite an earlier one. Self-referrals don't count — you can't sponsor through your own link and collect a split. For recurring (monthly) sponsorships, referral credit applies to the first 12 monthly payments, then stops.

Payouts

  • Earnings become payable only after Sean approves them and the underlying payment is at least 14 days old (refund-window buffer).
  • Payouts are made monthly, by Venmo / PayPal / check.
  • Minimum payout is $10. Below that, your balance rolls forward.

Refunds & reversals

If a sponsor's payment is refunded or disputed, the matching earning is reversed. If you'd already been paid for it, that amount nets against your future earnings. Sean reserves the right to reverse earnings that result from fraud or abuse.

Taxes

Referral payouts are income, not gifts. If your payouts cross $600 in a calendar year, we'll collect a W-9 and issue a 1099-NEC, as the law requires. Sponsorships themselves are personal fundraising support for Sean — not tax-deductible charitable donations.

These terms may be updated; material changes will be noted here. Questions? Reach Sean through the Digital Dignity contact channels.
