1. Agreement to Terms

The Guardians Tribe is a privately managed entity currently operated by its founders, Samantha and Nathan Marley.

5. Commission Structure
The Guardians Tribe operates two separate sharing programmes: the Affiliate Programme and the Refer a Friend Programme. These programmes allow members to introduce others to the Tribe while receiving recognition or rewards for successful referrals.
The Affiliate Programme allows approved members to earn commission by referring new members to The Guardians Tribe through their personal referral link.
The Refer a Friend Programme allows members to casually invite friends to join the Tribe without becoming affiliates. When a referral is successful, the reward is shared between both members.
Both programmes apply to successful referrals of Homeowner, Guardian, and Dual memberships.
The Guardians Tribe reserves the right to update, modify, or discontinue any aspect of these programmes at its sole discretion in order to maintain fairness, sustainability, and operational integrity.
5.1 Commission Model Overview
The Guardians Tribe offers two participation programmes for members who wish to introduce others to the platform: the Affiliate Programme and the Refer a Friend Programme.
Affiliate Programme – Approved affiliates may earn commission by referring new members to The Guardians Tribe through their personal referral link.
Refer a Friend Programme – Members who do not wish to become affiliates may invite friends using their personal referral link. When a successful referral occurs, the reward is shared between both members in the form of a membership discount for the new member and membership credit for the referring member.
Subject to Change – The Guardians Tribe reserves the right to revise programme structures, commission rates, rewards, or eligibility criteria at any time to ensure fairness and sustainability.
Referral-Based Recognition – Earnings, rewards, or credits are only granted when a new membership is successfully completed through a valid referral link.
5.2 Affiliate Commission Structure
The Guardians Tribe Affiliate Programme operates on a single-level commission model.
Approved affiliates earn 20% commission on every membership purchased through their personal referral link, including Homeowner, Guardian, and Dual memberships.
Direct Referral Commission – Affiliates receive 20% commission on each successful membership purchase made through their referral link.
Recurring Commission – If a referred member renews their membership in future years, the affiliate will continue to receive 20% commission on each renewal payment for as long as that member remains active.
This structure allows affiliates to earn ongoing income by introducing new members to The Guardians Tribe.
5.3 Refer a Friend Programme
The Refer a Friend Programme allows members to invite friends to join The Guardians Tribe without becoming affiliates.
When a new member joins using a valid referral link:
- The new member receives a 10% discount on their membership
• The referring member receives 10% membership credit of the same value
Refer a Friend rewards are one-time only and apply only to the initial membership purchase. These rewards do not repeat on membership renewals.
Refer a Friend rewards cannot be combined with public promotional offers and are not valid during promotional periods.
5.4 Commission Payouts & Conditions
Commission Tracking
All affiliate commissions are tracked automatically through The Guardians Tribe referral system. Commissions are only eligible for payout once the applicable cooling-off period has fully passed and the commission has been marked as approved within the system.
Approved commissions will appear in the affiliate dashboard and remain pending until the transaction has cleared the cooling-off period and all payment conditions have been satisfied.
Affiliate Commission Payouts
Affiliate commissions are paid once per month via our payment partner Wise. All approved commissions available at the time of the monthly payout will be processed and paid on the 15th of each month to the Wise account email provided by the affiliate.
Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that their Wise payment details are accurate and up to date within their affiliate dashboard.
Refer a Friend Rewards
Rewards earned through the Refer a Friend Programme are issued as membership credit and are not paid as cash commissions. Membership credits may only be applied toward future membership renewals and cannot be exchanged or withdrawn as cash.
Refer a Friend rewards are one-time only per successful referral and do not apply to future membership renewals.

There is no minimum payout threshold. Affiliates are paid whatever approved commission balance is available at the time of the monthly payout.
Payment Methods
All affiliate commissions are paid via Wise. Affiliates must provide a valid Wise account email address within their affiliate dashboard in order to receive payouts. Members are responsible for ensuring their payout details remain accurate and up to date.
Refund & Chargeback Adjustments
If a referred membership is refunded, cancelled, or charged back after a commission has already been paid, the corresponding commission amount will be deducted from the affiliate’s next payout. This ensures commissions are only paid on successful and completed transactions.
5.5 Compliance & Programme Integrity
To maintain fairness and prevent abuse of the Affiliate Programme and Refer a Friend Programme, the following rules apply:
Self-referrals are not permitted – Members may not earn commissions, referral rewards, or membership credits on their own membership purchases.

There is no minimum payout amount. Affiliates are paid whatever approved commission balance is available at the time of the monthly payout.
Approved Balance Only
Only commissions marked as approved are eligible for payout. Pending commissions will automatically roll into future payout cycles once approved.

Chargebacks & Refund Adjustments
If a referred membership is refunded, cancelled, or subject to a chargeback, the associated commission will be reversed and deducted from the affiliate’s future payouts. This ensures commissions are only paid on successful and completed transactions.
