Affiliate Program
Earn 10% by helping people discover smarter grilling tools
The KINGEAR Affiliate Program is for creators, reviewers, publishers and communities that can explain ThermoTongs accurately, disclose compensated relationships clearly and send relevant customers to the official store.
Program at a glance
10% commission
Calculated on the discounted net value of qualifying products, excluding tax, shipping, gift cards, refunds and chargebacks.
30-day attribution
A first-party last-click referral applies for 30 days when Marketing consent is available. An assigned affiliate coupon takes priority at checkout.
45-day lock period
Commission remains pending for 45 days after order completion so cancellations, returns, partial refunds and chargebacks can be reconciled.
USD 100 PayPal threshold
Eligible approved commission is reviewed monthly and paid in USD by PayPal by the 15th of the following month after the balance reaches USD 100 and tax identity is complete.
Who we work with
We review each application manually. A large audience is not required; relevance, accuracy and trust matter more than follower count.
- Grilling, cooking and outdoor-living creators
- Independent reviewers and product educators
- Recipe publishers, newsletters and trusted communities
- Deal or gift publishers that explain offers accurately
Approval and review
KINGEAR confirms receipt within two business days. George King decides a complete application within five business days using audience fit, an active authentic channel, original content, accurate product presentation, clear disclosure and a brand-safe promotion plan. An overdue application is escalated to Nicolas King on the next business day.
- Relevant, active and authentic publishing channel
- Original content and an audience that fits KINGEAR
- Accurate product claims and brand-safe presentation
- Clear affiliate disclosure before or next to each promotion
- No history or plan involving spam, impersonation or deceptive traffic
Program team and notification route
Send applications, program questions, payment questions and privacy requests to info@kingear.net with a clear subject. KINGEAR routes each request to the responsible role below.
Program owner and reviewer — George King: application decisions, policy compliance, creative approval, suspension and mature-commission review.
Website owner, privacy lead and independent payout approver — Nicolas King: technical access, security, exports, deletions and payment-batch approval.
Finance payer — Creek Lu: tax-status verification, payment-batch preparation, PayPal execution and payment records.
The batch creator cannot approve that batch; the approver cannot execute its payment. A refund or chargeback clears prior approval and returns the batch to independent approval.
Affiliate partner: own program data only; no customer PII, other affiliate data or administrative settings.
Attribution, coupons and commission
The reviewed ledger uses WooCommerce order and refund records as the source of truth. Historical order values are not recalculated when exchange rates change.
- The most recent valid referral link receives last-click attribution for 30 days when Marketing consent is available.
- An assigned affiliate coupon used at checkout takes priority over a referral cookie.
- A normal store coupon that is not assigned to an affiliate does not erase a valid referral.
- Self-purchases by the affiliate, household, team or an account controlled by them are not eligible.
- Full refunds, cancellations, failures and chargebacks reverse the full commission; partial refunds reverse it proportionally.
- Commission is based on discounted qualifying product value only; tax, shipping, gift cards and non-product fees are excluded.
Prohibited promotion
These rules protect customers, partners and the KINGEAR brand. A serious breach may lead to immediate suspension or termination.
- Bidding on KINGEAR, product names or close misspellings in paid search without written approval
- Pretending to be KINGEAR or registering confusing domains, accounts or handles
- Cookie stuffing, forced clicks, adware, toolbars, pop-ups or automatic redirects
- Spam, scraped outreach, purchased lists or email/SMS without valid consent
- False scarcity, fabricated discounts, misleading coupons or unsupported product, health or safety claims
- Self-referrals, orders placed for others to earn commission, transaction splitting or other manipulation
- Adult, hateful, violent, illegal, discriminatory or otherwise brand-unsafe content
Payment, tax identity and records
Creek Lu executes approved PayPal payments. KINGEAR does not collect tax IDs or payment credentials through the public application form.
- George King reviews mature commission. Creek Lu prepares the payment batch, Nicolas King independently approves it, and Creek Lu executes the PayPal payment.
- Payout review is monthly and an eligible batch is paid by the 15th of the following month. A balance below USD 100 rolls forward without expiring.
- Payment is in USD. Any recipient or currency-conversion fee charged by PayPal is the affiliate’s responsibility unless applicable law requires otherwise.
- Before the first payout, Finance privately verifies the applicable W-9, W-8 or local equivalent tax identity. Never submit a tax ID through the public form.
- Affiliate applications and ledger records are retained for 24 months, then deleted or anonymised unless the affected record is under a documented dispute, chargeback, fraud review or legal hold.
Role permissions
Affiliates see only their own links, coupons, aggregate clicks, attributed-order summaries, commissions, payouts and approved creative assets. They never receive customer contact, address or payment data.
- Program owner and reviewer — George King: application decisions, policy compliance, creative approval, suspension and mature-commission review.
- Website owner, privacy lead and independent payout approver — Nicolas King: technical access, security, exports, deletions and payment-batch approval.
- Finance payer — Creek Lu: tax-status verification, payment-batch preparation, PayPal execution and payment records.
- The batch creator cannot approve that batch; the approver cannot execute its payment. A refund or chargeback clears prior approval and returns the batch to independent approval.
- Affiliate partner: own program data only; no customer PII, other affiliate data or administrative settings.
Privacy, export and deletion
Affiliate records use least-privilege access. Partners can request an authenticated export or deletion through info@kingear.net; information not required for financial, tax, fraud or dispute records is deleted or anonymised.
