# Creator Program Terms

> The rules of the Wilderack creator program, including who can join, how referrals and commission work, when payouts are sent and how to promote us.

Version 0.2, last updated 2026-11-14. Draft awaiting legal review.

## The short version

- The creator program is for people 18 and over. You apply by email or in your panel, and we approve every creator ourselves.
- You earn 20% of what each player you bring pays, before tax, for their first 12 months.
- A commission is ready 30 days after the payment, once it can't be refunded. We pay by hand once you have $25, €25 or £25 ready.
- Your audience pays the same as everyone else, with 20% off their first order and no code needed. Tell them you earn from your link.
- No spam, no fake sign-ups, no ads on our name and no pressure on young players.
- You can leave at any time, and we still pay what you earned.

These terms cover the creator program run by Wilderack Inc. ("Wilderack", "we", "us"). They add to our [Terms of Service](https://wilderack.com/legal/terms/), which still apply to your account. Where the two disagree about the program, these terms win.

## Who can join

- You must be **18 or older** and have a Wilderack account in good standing.
- There's no minimum audience. Small and new creators are welcome.
- You apply on the **Creators** page in your panel, or by email to support@wilderack.com. We read every application ourselves, and we may say no without giving a reason. You can apply again later.
- People who work for Wilderack, and the people they live with, can't join.

## Your link and code

When we approve you, you get your own link, `wilderack.com/r/yourname`, and a code, `YOURNAME`, that players can type at checkout.

- A player counts as yours when they type your code at checkout, or make their Wilderack account after arriving through your link, and then make their **first purchase** on Wilderack (a server or the [Valhalla Pass](https://wilderack.com/valhalla-pass/)).
- **Your code always counts. Your link counts only when we've recorded the visit it brought.** Without the visitor's agreement we don't record visits from the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, the UK or Switzerland, or when we can't tell the country (our [Privacy Policy](https://wilderack.com/legal/privacy/) explains why), so your link usually can't count players there. Ask your audience to type your code.
- If a player arrives through one creator's link and then types another creator's code, the code counts.
- A player counts for one creator only, and only from their first purchase. A player who had already bought something doesn't count.
- You can't be your own referral. Neither can accounts you control or people you live with.
- Your link and code don't change the price. Your audience pays what everyone pays, and their first order is 20% off like everyone's, with no code needed.

## What you earn

- **20% of every payment** that a player you brought makes, for **12 months** from their first payment. That covers server plans, add-ons, 3-day passes and the [Valhalla Pass](https://wilderack.com/valhalla-pass/).
- Commission is worked out on what the player paid: after any discount, before sales tax or VAT.
- If a payment is refunded or disputed, its commission comes off. If that happens after we've paid you, we take it off your next payout.
- Payments in euros or pounds earn commission in that currency, and each currency has its own balance.
- Nothing is earned on your own purchases, on a sponsored server, or on anything we give away.

## When commission is paid

- A commission waits **30 days** after the payment, while it could still be refunded. Then it's ready to pay.
- We pay by hand once your ready balance in a currency reaches **$25, €25 or £25**. A smaller balance rolls over to the next month.
- We agree with you how the money is sent. Before your first payout we ask for the tax details the law needs, such as a W-9 or W-8BEN form. You're responsible for any tax on what you earn.
- The **Creators** page in your panel shows every payment, what you earned from it, when it's ready and every payout we've sent.

## Your sponsored server

Approved creators get **one server on us**, for any game we host, on a plan of up to **8 GB**. No card is needed.

- It's for you to play, film and stream on with your community.
- It lasts while you're in the program. If you leave, or your place ends, its plan ends like any other plan: you can pick a paid plan to keep it, and your world is kept on the timeline in our [Terms of Service](https://wilderack.com/legal/terms/).
- It follows the same rules as any other server, including our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://wilderack.com/legal/acceptable-use/).

## Early access

While you're in the program, you can start servers on new games up to **7 days** before they open to everyone.

## How to promote Wilderack

We want players to trust what you tell them, so:

- **Say that you earn from your link.** For example "I earn a commission if you use my link", or "#ad", where people see it before they click. Follow the rules of the platform you post on too.
- **Be accurate.** Use prices, features and limits from our site, and don't promise anything we don't offer.
- **No spam.** No messages people didn't ask for, no mass mentions, no comment spam, and no posting your link where the rules don't allow it.
- **No ads on our name.** Don't buy search ads on "Wilderack" or words like it, and don't register domains, accounts or app names that use our name.
- **No fake referrals.** Don't pay people to sign up or reward them for using your link, and no sign-ups through bots, scripts or shared accounts.
- **Respect young players.** Many players are 13 to 17. Don't pressure anyone to buy, don't tell a young player to buy without a parent, and don't promise giveaways in return for a purchase.
- **Don't speak for us.** You can say you're a Wilderack creator, but not that you work for us. Don't call Wilderack "official", and don't say a game's publisher backs us.
- You may use our name and logo to point people to Wilderack. Don't change them, and stop using them when you leave the program.

## Leaving the program

- You can leave at any time by emailing support@wilderack.com. We pay what you've earned once its 30 days are up, even below the usual minimum.
- We can pause or end your place if you break these terms or our other policies, or if we close the program. If we end it because of fake referrals or fraud, no commission is paid on the referrals involved.
- We can also pause new commission while we look into a problem, and we'll tell you why.

## Changes to these terms

We email you at least 30 days before a change that's worse for you, such as a lower commission rate. A change never reduces commission you've already earned. If you don't agree, you can leave before it takes effect.

## The rest

- You take part as an independent creator. You're not our employee or agent, and nothing here makes you one.
- You're free to promote other services as well.
- These terms are governed by the same law as our [Terms of Service](https://wilderack.com/legal/terms/).
