Effective Date: November 1, 2025
Last Updated: November 1, 2025
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("Affiliate," "Contractor," or "User") and PoolHall LLC, d/b/a Payday Social ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account, accessing, or using our affiliate platform at
affiliates.payday.social (the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not participate in the Program.
1. Engagement of Services
By joining the Payday Affiliate Program, you agree to promote one or more mobile apps, websites, or products ("Brands") listed on the Platform through your unique affiliate links or approved promotional methods ("Services").
You act as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, or partner of the Company or the Brands. You are solely responsible for how you promote links, subject to these Terms and any specific Campaign Terms posted on the Platform.
The Company functions as an intermediary, connecting Affiliates to Brands, tracking performance, and facilitating payments. The Company is not a party to your relationship with any Brand and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of tracking data provided by third-party systems.
2. Compensation and Payment
2.1 Payment Structure
- Affiliates will be compensated according to the Campaign Terms associated with each Brand — for example, Cost Per Install (CPI), Cost Per Signup (CPS), or Revenue Share.
- Payouts are only made for verified, legitimate actions that meet the Brand's tracking and quality requirements.
2.2 Invalid or Fraudulent Activity
The following will result in forfeited payments and potential termination:
- Fake or bot-generated traffic, installs, or signups
- Self-referrals or incentivized installs not approved by the Brand
- Traffic from prohibited geographies (e.g., non-U.S. installs when a campaign is U.S.-only)
- Any manipulation of tracking data or misleading promotions
The Company and Brand retain sole discretion to determine the validity of conversions.
2.3 Payment Schedule
Payments are processed monthly after conversions are validated by the Brand. Payouts are typically made within 30 days following the close of each month.
2.4 Payment Methods
Approved payment methods include:
Affiliates are responsible for ensuring correct payment details are provided. The Company is not responsible for delays due to inaccurate information.
2.5 Taxes
You are solely responsible for all taxes owed on your earnings. The Company does not withhold or remit taxes on your behalf. U.S. Affiliates earning over the IRS threshold will receive a Form 1099-MISC.
3. Independent Contractor Status
You acknowledge that:
- You operate as an independent contractor.
- You are not entitled to employee benefits.
- You are responsible for all business costs, including marketing, equipment, and internet usage.

- To comply with all Brand and campaign-specific creative guidelines.

Any promotional content you create remains your property; however, you grant the Company and the Brand a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, repost, and distribute that content for promotional purposes.
4.3 Prohibited Use
You may not reuse any Brand-provided materials to promote unrelated offers or create misleading ads implying an endorsement by the Brand outside the affiliate program.
5. Referral Program
The Platform may include a referral system that rewards you for bringing in new affiliates. Eligibility and payout details will be posted on the Platform. Fraudulent or self-referrals are strictly prohibited and may result in forfeited bonuses or account termination.

You must comply with:
- FTC Endorsement Guidelines, including proper disclosure of paid partnerships (e.g., "#ad" or "#sponsored")
- Applicable laws, regulations, and platform advertising policies (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.)

Failure to comply may result in account termination and nonpayment.
7. Non-Circumvention
You agree not to contact, negotiate with, or accept direct deals from any Brands or advertisers introduced through the Platform for 12 months after your last activity on the Platform. Any direct engagements outside the Platform will result in immediate account termination and liability for all associated losses, including forfeited earnings and damages for lost business.
