1. About the program
The Oil Painting Hub Affiliate Program (the Program) is operated by Isabelle Larin Web Services (the Company, we, us, our), trading as The Oil Painting Hub, based in Otterburn Park, Quebec, Canada. The Program is managed through FluentAffiliate, a third-party affiliate management platform.
These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (the Agreement) govern your participation in the Program as an affiliate (Affiliate, you, your). By applying to or participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you do not agree, do not apply or participate.
This Agreement is in addition to, and does not replace, the general Terms of Use of The Oil Painting Hub website, which continue to apply.
2. Eligibility and application
Participation in the Program is by application only. We reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion, without obligation to provide reasons. Approval of an application does not create any guarantee of continued participation.
To be eligible, you must:
- be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher;
- have a valid bank account or be able to receive e-transfer payments;
- have an active online presence (website, blog, social media, newsletter, or similar platform) through which you will promote our courses; and
- comply at all times with this Agreement and all applicable laws.
We reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Program at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.
3. Affiliate links and tracking
Upon approval, you will receive a unique affiliate tracking link (your Affiliate Link) generated through FluentAffiliate. You must use your Affiliate Link for all promotions in order to be credited for referrals.
Our tracking cookie window is 30 days. This means that if a visitor clicks your Affiliate Link and completes a purchase within 30 days of that click, the sale will be attributed to you, provided no other affiliate link was clicked more recently. We do not guarantee tracking in all cases, including where a visitor uses a private browser, clears their cookies, or uses a different device.
You are responsible for ensuring that your Affiliate Link is correctly formatted and functional. We are not responsible for lost commissions resulting from broken, incorrectly used, or modified links.
4. Commissions
Commission rates – You will earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through your Affiliate Link at the following rates:
- 30% of the net sale price for each qualifying purchase, from the date your application is approved;
- 40% of the net sale price for each qualifying purchase, once you have successfully referred a cumulative total of 8 qualifying purchases through your Affiliate Link.
Commission rate upgrades take effect from the next qualifying purchase after the 8th referral threshold is reached. We will notify you by email when your rate is upgraded.
Qualifying purchases – A qualifying purchase is a completed, paid, and non-refunded purchase of a course through your Affiliate Link within the 30-day tracking window. Commissions are not earned on purchases that are subsequently refunded, charged back, or cancelled.
No self-referrals – You may not use your own Affiliate Link to purchase courses for yourself or for people in your immediate household. Self-referral commissions will be forfeited.
Commission adjustments – If a referred purchase is refunded or charged back after a commission has been recorded, the corresponding commission will be deducted from your account balance. If this results in a negative balance, it will be carried forward and offset against future earnings.
5. Payouts
Commissions are paid out on a quarterly basis, at the end of each calendar quarter (approximately March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31). Payments will be processed within a reasonable time following the close of each quarter.
A minimum account balance of CAD 80.00 is required to trigger a payout. If your balance does not reach CAD 80.00 by the end of a given quarter, your earnings will roll over to the following quarter and accumulate until the threshold is met.
Payments are made by bank transfer or Interac e-Transfer to the payment details you have provided in your FluentAffiliate account. You are responsible for providing accurate and current payment information. We are not responsible for failed or misdirected payments resulting from incorrect information provided by you.
All amounts are in Canadian dollars (CAD). You are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies applicable to your commission income in your jurisdiction. We do not withhold taxes on behalf of Affiliates.
6. Promotional obligations and conduct
As an Affiliate, you agree to promote The Oil Painting Hub courses honestly, accurately, and in a manner consistent with our brand. In particular, you must:
- only make truthful and accurate statements about our courses and not misrepresent their content, quality, price, or any other feature;

A disclosure such as “This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you purchase through my link” is required;
- not engage in any form of spam, including unsolicited mass emails, comment spam, or posting affiliate links in forums or communities where such promotion is prohibited;
- not use paid search advertising (including Google Ads, Meta Ads, or similar platforms) that targets our brand name, domain, or trademarked terms;
