Effective date: October 29, 2026

These Affiliate Terms and Conditions govern participation in the Bar Codes Talk referral program operated by Bar Codes Talk, LLC ("Bar Codes Talk," "we," "us" or "our"). The program uses PartnerStack Spark to help administer referrals, tracking and commissions. In these terms, "you" means the person or business participating as a referring partner.

1. Joining and participating

You must be at least 18 years old, legally able to enter into an agreement, and authorized to act for any business you represent. Your participation is subject to our approval and these terms. Keep your account, contact, payment and tax information accurate, and protect your account credentials.

We may make a referral account or personal referral link available automatically when you purchase from us. Automatic account or link creation alone does not mean you have accepted these terms. By choosing to share a referral link, promote the program or claim a commission, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not participate.

Your use of PartnerStack is also subject to its separate Partner Agreement and applicable platform policies. PartnerStack operates the platform; Bar Codes Talk sets and administers this referral offer. You are an independent participant, not our employee, agent, franchisee or legal partner, and cannot make commitments on our behalf.

2. The 20% commission offer

You earn a 20% commission on eligible purchases made by customers you refer, including their future repeat orders. The offer is not limited to a customer's first order or first year. Eligibility remains subject to these terms and any prospective changes to the program.

Commission is calculated on the paid order total after discounts, subject to adjustments for refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, fraud and payment reversals. Taxes or shipping charges, if any, are not separately excluded when they form part of that paid order total. Unpaid, failed, test or fully refunded purchases do not earn a commission; partial refunds reduce the eligible amount proportionally. A recorded click, signup or pending commission is not a guarantee of an approved payment.

This program does not give the referred customer an automatic discount. The former Give 10/Get 10 offer is closed to new participation. These terms apply prospectively from the effective date above and do not retroactively cancel commissions or other rewards validly earned under earlier terms.

3. Eligible customers and attribution

A new referral must be a genuine customer who has not previously purchased from Bar Codes Talk and whose first purchase is validly attributed to your assigned referral link. Sending an existing customer a link does not create a new referral or transfer another partner's customer to you. Existing referral relationships preserved during our move to PartnerStack Spark remain recognized, including their eligible repeat purchases.

Share the personal referral link assigned to you. Attribution depends on the program's tracking settings, the customer's referral journey and available records. Cookies, consent choices, browser settings, blocked tracking, changing devices or browsers, and visits through another partner's link can affect whether a referral is recorded. We do not promise that every click or purchase can be tracked, and these terms do not establish a particular cookie duration.

Each purchase can earn a referral commission only once. We review competing or missing attribution using PartnerStack records and our order records. If you believe an eligible referral is missing or incorrect, contact us with the information reasonably needed to investigate. Do not send payment-card details or other unnecessary personal information. We cannot guarantee credit for referrals that cannot be verified.

Self-referrals and purchases made by you, your own business, or a business you own or control are not eligible. Artificial transactions, duplicate accounts, fictitious customers and arrangements intended to generate commissions without a genuine independent purchase are prohibited.

4. Review, adjustments and payment

Commissions are subject to validation against these terms. We may place a commission on hold while investigating an eligibility, attribution, refund or fraud issue, and may decline or adjust a commission that does not qualify. If an ineligible or reversed commission has already been paid, we may offset the corresponding overpayment against future commissions or request repayment, with an explanation of the adjustment.

Approved commissions are processed through PartnerStack and the payment methods available to your account. Payment availability depends on validation, funding, platform processing, and completion of any required identity, payment and tax information. Your dashboard shows the status of your commissions. No fixed payout date, withdrawal threshold or payment method is guaranteed by these terms.

You are responsible for your own taxes and legally required reporting. Any payment-provider fees or currency conversion terms applicable to a withdrawal are governed by that provider's disclosed terms. Contact us about commission eligibility or adjustments, and use PartnerStack support for platform access and withdrawal issues.

5. Honest promotion and required disclosures

Promote Bar Codes Talk accurately and lawfully. Make clear that you may receive a commission, close to the recommendation or referral link where readers or viewers will notice it. For example: "I may earn a commission when you buy through this link." Follow applicable advertising, endorsement, privacy and electronic-marketing requirements in the places where you promote the program.

Do not make unsupported claims about barcode acceptance, guaranteed business results, pricing, discounts or our relationship with GS1, marketplaces or other organizations. Use current, approved product information. Do not invent personal experiences, reviews or endorsements, or imply that your website, account or advertisement is operated by Bar Codes Talk.

You must not:

  • Send spam or unsolicited bulk messages, obtain contact lists unlawfully, or disregard required consent and opt-out requests.
  • Use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, hidden redirects, misleading links, browser extensions or other methods that insert or replace attribution without a genuine referral.
  • Offer unauthorized coupons, discounts, rebates or incentives, or advertise the retired Give 10/Get 10 offer.
  • Promote on coupon or deal sites, or bid on Bar Codes Talk brand names, trademarks or confusingly similar search terms, without our prior written approval.
  • Register domains, social profiles or advertising identities that impersonate us or misuse our trademarks.
  • Publish unlawful, infringing, deceptive or otherwise harmful content in connection with the program.

6. Brand materials and customer relationships

While you participate in good standing, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable permission to use promotional materials we approve solely to refer customers to Bar Codes Talk. This permission does not transfer ownership of our names, trademarks, content or other intellectual property. Follow our reasonable instructions and remove outdated or unauthorized materials when requested.

Customers purchase directly from Bar Codes Talk under our applicable purchase terms. We control pricing, order acceptance, fulfillment, customer service and refund decisions. Participation does not authorize you to resell our barcodes, collect payments for us, change our terms or make warranties on our behalf.

7. Privacy and information

We and PartnerStack process information needed to administer referrals, validate purchases and arrange commissions. See our Privacy Policy and PartnerStack's applicable privacy notices for information about their respective practices. You are responsible for obtaining any consent required for your promotional activities and for respecting privacy rights.

Use any customer or program information you receive only for authorized program purposes, keep it secure, and do not disclose it or use it for unrelated marketing. Do not provide personal information to us unless you have the right to do so.

8. Changes, suspension and termination

You may stop participating at any time by discontinuing promotion and contacting us if you want your program account closed. We may suspend or end participation for a breach, fraud, unlawful conduct or other reasonable program-management grounds, and may discontinue the program.

We may change these terms or the offer prospectively by publishing updated terms with a new effective date and providing notice of material changes through the program dashboard or your account contact details. Changes do not retroactively reduce commissions validly earned before their effective date. Continued voluntary participation after an effective change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

When participation ends, stop using referral links and program materials as we direct. Valid commissions earned before termination remain subject to verification and ordinary refund, chargeback and fraud adjustments. Termination does not make an otherwise legitimate earned commission automatically forfeited. Purchases after termination are not commission-eligible unless we agree otherwise in writing.

9. General terms and questions

We do not guarantee any level of traffic, sales or income, or uninterrupted availability of third-party tracking or payment services. You are responsible for your promotional activities and expenses.

These program-specific terms supplement our Terms of Use. If they conflict concerning referral-program participation, these program-specific terms control; the Terms of Use continue to govern website use and purchases. The governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions of the Terms of Use apply to this program, including its provisions concerning Florida law. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. Any exception to these program terms must be agreed by Bar Codes Talk in writing. For questions about participation, attribution or commissions, contact Bar Codes Talk and identify your message as a referral-program inquiry.
