CtrlJoy Creator Program Terms

Effective Date: October 13, 2026

1. Program Overview

The CtrlJoy Creator Program provides approved creators with the opportunity to promote CtrlJoy products, offer their communities a discount, create personalized product collections, and earn from qualifying sales.

By participating in the program, creators agree to these Terms and any applicable program policies communicated by CtrlJoy.

CtrlJoy reserves the right to approve, deny, suspend, or terminate participation in the program at its discretion.

2. Creator Eligibility and Approval

Participation in the CtrlJoy Creator Program requires an application and approval from CtrlJoy.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Applicants must provide accurate information and maintain appropriate promotional practices and conduct.

Creators must notify CtrlJoy if their contact information, payment details, or other material account information changes.

CtrlJoy may review creator accounts periodically to determine continued eligibility.

3. Creator Codes and Customer Discounts

Approved creators will receive a unique creator code that customers can use to receive 10% off eligible purchases.

Creator codes are used to track qualifying purchases and calculate creator earnings. The program does not rely on referral links for sales tracking.

The discount applies to eligible products and may be subject to exclusions, promotions, or other restrictions established by CtrlJoy.

Creators may not alter, misrepresent, or advertise their discount code in a misleading manner. Codes may not be shared or used in ways intended to manipulate tracking or circumvent program rules.

CtrlJoy reserves the right to modify, disable, or replace a creator code when necessary.

4. Creator Collections

Approved creators may work with CtrlJoy to develop a personalized collection of products based on their brand, personality, designs, or community.

All products, designs, descriptions, and other collection materials are subject to CtrlJoy’s review and approval before publication.

CtrlJoy retains control over product availability, pricing, manufacturing, fulfillment, presentation, and store listings.

A creator collection does not guarantee that every proposed product or design will be approved or remain available indefinitely.

5. Creator Levels and Earnings

The program includes three creator levels, each with different earning opportunities.

Standard Creator

  • Creator code commission: 10% of qualifying net profit from eligible purchases made using the creator’s code.

  • Personal collection profit share: 30% of qualifying net profit from eligible products in the creator’s personal collection.

Featured Creator

  • Creator code commission: 12% of qualifying net profit from eligible purchases made using the creator’s code.

  • Personal collection profit share: 35% of qualifying net profit from eligible products in the creator’s personal collection.

  • Additional benefits: Potential featured placement within CtrlJoy’s promotional channels or store, at CtrlJoy’s discretion.

CtrlJoy Partner

  • Creator code commission: 15% of qualifying net profit from eligible purchases made using the creator’s code.

  • Personal collection profit share: 40% of qualifying net profit from eligible products in the creator’s personal collection.

  • Additional benefits: Featured placement and potential collaboration opportunities, at CtrlJoy’s discretion.

Creator level benefits are not guaranteed beyond the applicable rates and terms. Promotional opportunities and collaborations depend on availability and approval.

6. Creator Level Advancement

Creator level advancement is based on qualifying customer sales and order volume within a rolling 90-day period.

Featured Creator Eligibility

Creators may be considered for Featured Creator status after achieving both:

  • At least $750 in qualifying customer sales.

  • At least 10 qualifying orders.

CtrlJoy Partner Eligibility

Creators may be considered for CtrlJoy Partner status after achieving both:

  • At least $2,500 in qualifying customer sales.

  • At least 25 qualifying orders.

For advancement purposes, qualifying customer sales are measured using the amount paid by customers after applicable discounts and before production costs, transaction fees, and other deductions used to calculate creator earnings.

Meeting the thresholds makes a creator eligible for review; it does not guarantee promotion. CtrlJoy may consider promotional activity, audience engagement, compliance with these Terms, and other relevant factors when reviewing advancement.

CtrlJoy may periodically review creator levels and adjust a creator’s level if eligibility requirements are no longer met or program circumstances warrant a change.

7. Qualifying Sales and Earnings

A sale must be completed and qualify under these Terms before it can generate creator earnings.

Qualifying sales must be legitimate customer purchases that have been paid for and are not cancelled, fraudulent, disputed, or otherwise disqualified.

The following do not qualify for creator earnings:

  • Purchases made by a creator using their own creator code.

  • Artificial, test, or self-generated orders intended to increase earnings or meet advancement thresholds.

  • Fraudulent transactions or purchases involving payment abuse.

  • Orders resulting from unauthorized code distribution, discount manipulation, or other prohibited activity.

  • Orders that are cancelled, disputed, charged back, or otherwise determined to be ineligible.

CtrlJoy may adjust earnings when a transaction becomes ineligible after the original order was placed.

8. Qualifying Net Profit Calculation

Creator code commissions and collection profit shares are calculated using qualifying net profit, not the total retail price or gross amount of a customer’s purchase.

The calculation is:

Qualifying Net Profit = Amount Paid by Customer − Cost of Production − Applicable Transaction and Payment Fees

The amount paid by the customer reflects applicable discounts, including the creator’s 10% discount when used.

Cost of production may include the blank product, manufacturing, printing, customization, supplier charges, and directly attributable fulfillment costs.

Applicable transaction and payment fees include fees directly associated with processing the order or payment.

Example

For an eligible product with the following amounts:

  • Original product price: $25.00

  • Customer discount: 10%

  • Amount paid by customer: $22.50

  • Production cost: $12.00

  • Transaction and payment fees: $1.00

  • Qualifying net profit: $9.50

A Standard Creator earning a 10% creator code commission would receive $0.95 for that qualifying sale.

Actual earnings will vary according to the product, customer discount, applicable costs, and creator level.

9. Earnings From Creator Collections

Creators receive a profit share on qualifying net profit generated by eligible products in their personal collection, according to their current creator level.

The collection profit share is calculated using the same qualifying net profit formula described in Section 8.

If a customer uses a creator’s code to purchase a product from that creator’s personal collection, the creator may earn both the applicable creator code commission and the collection profit share, provided the transaction qualifies under these Terms.

Earnings are not calculated on production costs, transaction fees, or other excluded amounts. No earnings are guaranteed, and a sale may generate little or no qualifying net profit depending on its costs and discounts.

10. Creator Promotion and Conduct

Creators are responsible for promoting CtrlJoy products, collections, and creator codes honestly and in accordance with applicable laws and platform policies.

Creators agree not to:

  • Make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about CtrlJoy or its products.

  • Misrepresent their relationship with CtrlJoy or the benefits of participating in the program.

  • Use spam, bots, artificial traffic, fake engagement, or deceptive marketing practices.

  • Engage in harassment, discrimination, or conduct that could reasonably damage CtrlJoy’s reputation.

  • Advertise creator codes through unauthorized coupon sites or other prohibited promotional channels.

  • Bid on CtrlJoy trademarks or use them in paid search advertising without prior written approval.

  • Mislead customers about discounts, product availability, pricing, or expected delivery.

Creators must clearly disclose their relationship with CtrlJoy when required by applicable advertising laws, regulations, or platform rules.

CtrlJoy may request changes to promotional content that does not comply with these Terms.

11. Intellectual Property and Design Approval

Creators may submit original artwork, logos, brand assets, and other materials for consideration in their personal collection.

Creators must own or have the necessary rights and permissions to use any materials they submit. Materials may not infringe another person’s or organization’s intellectual property, publicity, or other legal rights.

Creators must obtain permission before submitting third-party artwork, trademarks, copyrighted characters, logos, or other protected material.

All proposed designs and products require CtrlJoy’s approval before publication. CtrlJoy may reject, remove, or discontinue designs or products at its discretion.

By submitting materials for consideration, creators authorize CtrlJoy to review and use those materials as reasonably necessary to evaluate, prepare, list, manufacture, promote, and fulfill approved products in accordance with any applicable agreement between the parties.

Submitting materials does not automatically transfer ownership of a creator’s intellectual property to CtrlJoy. Any broader transfer of rights or separate licensing arrangement must be expressly agreed upon.

Creators may not use CtrlJoy’s branding, logos, or other protected materials outside the scope of their program participation without authorization.

12. Payouts

Creator code commissions and collection profit-share earnings are subject to these Terms and CtrlJoy’s applicable payout procedures.

Minimum Payout Threshold

Creators must accumulate at least $50 in eligible earnings before a payout can be issued.

Monthly Payout Schedule

CtrlJoy will process eligible creator payouts on a monthly basis when the creator’s available eligible earnings balance has reached at least $50.

If the balance is below $50 at the time of a monthly payout cycle, the balance will carry over to subsequent cycles until the minimum threshold is reached.

Reaching the threshold makes a creator eligible for payment through the monthly payout process; it does not guarantee an immediate or same-day payment.

Payment Method

Payments will be sent to the PayPal email address provided by the creator. Creators are responsible for ensuring that their payment information is accurate and current.

Eligible Earnings and Adjustments

Only finalized qualifying earnings are eligible for payout. Transactions that are cancelled, disputed, charged back, fraudulent, or otherwise disqualified may be excluded or adjusted before payment.

CtrlJoy may delay a payout when reasonably necessary to verify transactions, confirm payment details, resolve discrepancies, or investigate suspected program abuse.

Ending Participation

If a creator’s participation ends before their eligible earnings balance reaches $50, CtrlJoy will review the remaining eligible earnings and determine the appropriate handling in accordance with applicable law and these Terms.

13. Prohibited Activities and Program Abuse

Creators may not exploit the program, manipulate sales tracking, or engage in activity intended to generate unearned commissions or advancement.

Prohibited conduct includes:

  • Using a creator code for personal purchases or encouraging artificial purchases to generate commissions.

  • Creating fake orders, accounts, or transactions.

  • Using bots, fraudulent traffic, or automated methods to manipulate activity.

  • Circumventing discount restrictions or abusing promotions.

  • Misrepresenting sales, audience engagement, or program performance.

  • Distributing codes through unauthorized channels in violation of CtrlJoy’s promotional rules.

  • Engaging in conduct that violates applicable law or these Terms.

CtrlJoy may investigate suspected abuse and may withhold, adjust, or reverse affected earnings. Serious or repeated violations may result in suspension or termination from the program.

14. Taxes and Financial Responsibility

Creators are responsible for determining and meeting their own tax obligations related to earnings received through the CtrlJoy Creator Program.

Creators are responsible for providing any tax forms or other information reasonably required for payment or legal compliance.

CtrlJoy may withhold or report payments where required by applicable law.

Participation in the program does not create an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between CtrlJoy and a creator.

15. Program Changes

CtrlJoy may modify creator benefits, commission rates, collection profit-share rates, eligibility requirements, advancement thresholds, promotional rules, payout procedures, or other aspects of the program.

Where reasonably practicable, CtrlJoy will communicate material changes to participating creators.

Continued participation after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Suspension and Termination

Creators may leave the program at any time by notifying CtrlJoy.

CtrlJoy may suspend or terminate a creator’s participation for violations of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, misleading promotional practices, infringement concerns, inactivity, reputational concerns, or other legitimate program-related reasons.

Upon suspension or termination, creator codes and collections may be disabled or removed, and future earning opportunities may end.

Any remaining eligible earnings will be reviewed under the payout provisions in Section 12 and applicable law. Earnings associated with ineligible transactions may be withheld or adjusted.

17. Limitation of Guarantees and General Terms

Participation in the CtrlJoy Creator Program does not guarantee sales, audience growth, a particular creator level, promotional placement, collaboration opportunities, or a specific amount of earnings.

The program and its benefits are provided subject to availability and these Terms.

CtrlJoy is not responsible for a creator’s independent business expenses, promotional costs, equipment, taxes, or other costs associated with participation.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms, together with any applicable written program policies or separate agreements, govern participation in the CtrlJoy Creator Program.

By participating in the program, creators acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
