Welcome to the LOCO Scooters Affiliate Program! These terms and conditions (the "Terms") govern your participation in our affiliate program (the "Program"). By signing up for the Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms.


1. Program Overview
The LOCO Scooters Affiliate Program is designed to reward affiliates for promoting and selling our products. Commissions are earned on qualifying sales based on your tier within the program.


2. Affiliate Tiers and Commission Structure
The Program consists of three performance-based tiers. Your tier is determined by the
number of scooters sold per year:
- **Tier 1: Starter Level**
**Sales Requirement:** 0–100 scooters per year.
**Commission Rate:** 5% of each sale.


- **Tier 2: Mid-Level**
**Sales Requirement:** 101–300 scooters per year.
**Commission Rate:** 7% of each sale.


- **Tier 3: Top-Level**
**Sales Requirement:** 301+ scooters per year.
**Commission Rate:** 10% of each sale.


**Note:** Affiliates who fail to meet the sales requirements for their current tier during the second consecutive year will automatically drop down to the next lower tier.


3. Attribution Model
LOCO Scooters employs a **14-day attribution model** to track affiliate sales. This means that commissions will only be awarded if:
- The customer uses your unique affiliate link.
