ANCORE Athletes Program Terms and Conditions

These ANCORE Athletes Program Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern participation in the ANCORE Athletes Program (“Program”) operated by Anchor Health and Fitness, Inc. d/b/a ANCORE (“ANCORE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By applying to, enrolling in, or participating in the Program, you (“Participant” or “you”) agree to these Terms and acknowledge the ANCORE Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility and Enrollment

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to participate in the Program. International participation may be permitted where supported by ANCORE’s Program platform, payment providers, and applicable law.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. ANCORE may approve or reject any application at its discretion. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information and to keep your Program account information updated.

Program participation is personal to you and may not be transferred or assigned without ANCORE’s prior written approval.

2. Program Relationship

Participation in the Program is non-exclusive. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you may work with or promote other brands, provided those activities do not violate these Terms, misuse ANCORE’s confidential information or intellectual property, or create a misleading impression regarding your relationship with ANCORE.

You participate as an independent contractor and not as an employee, agent, partner, franchisee, joint venturer, or legal representative of ANCORE. You have no authority to make commitments, warranties, representations, or agreements on ANCORE’s behalf.

The Program does not impose a fixed posting quota unless specific deliverables are established in a separate written campaign agreement.

3. Program Benefits and Changes

Program benefits may include commissions, promotional codes, product access, educational resources, campaign opportunities, community access, or other benefits communicated by ANCORE.

Current commission rates, tiers, eligibility requirements, and benefits are governed by the Program schedule, Participant dashboard, or other written Program communications. ANCORE does not guarantee that any rate, tier, benefit, promotional code, or opportunity will remain available permanently.

ANCORE may modify Program rates, tiers, benefits, requirements, or procedures prospectively by providing reasonable notice through the Program platform, email, or another appropriate channel. Changes will not reduce commissions already validly earned before the effective date of the change.

4. Qualifying Sales and Commissions

Commissions are earned only on legitimate, qualifying sales properly attributed to you through an approved referral link, promotional code, or other tracking method designated by ANCORE.

Unless otherwise stated in the current Program schedule, commissions are paid 45 days after the applicable sale date. This period allows ANCORE to account for returns, cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, fraud review, and order verification.

No commission will be earned or paid on returned, canceled, refunded, fraudulent, self-referred, improperly attributed, or otherwise ineligible transactions. If a commission is paid before a transaction is determined to be ineligible, ANCORE may reverse the commission or deduct the amount from future payments.

ANCORE’s tracking and Program platform records will control when determining attribution and commission eligibility, except in cases of clear error. ANCORE is not responsible for tracking failures caused by deleted cookies, disabled tracking, incorrect links or codes, third-party software, customer actions, or circumstances outside ANCORE’s reasonable control.

Commission payments remain subject to any minimum payment thresholds, processing schedules, payment-method requirements, and tax-documentation requirements communicated through the Program platform.

5. Customer Referral Program

ANCORE may offer a customer referral program that allows eligible customers to refer new customers to ANCORE using an approved referral link, code, or other tracking method.

Unless otherwise stated in the current referral offer, an eligible referred customer will receive $60 off a qualifying purchase, and the referring customer will receive a $30 cash reward after the qualifying purchase is completed and verified.

A qualifying referral must involve a genuine purchase by a new ANCORE customer who uses the referring customer’s approved referral link or code at the time of purchase. Referral discounts and rewards cannot be applied retroactively and may not be combined with other discounts or promotions unless ANCORE expressly permits it.

Referral rewards are paid 45 days after the applicable sale date to allow time for returns, cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, fraud review, and order verification. No reward will be earned or paid for a purchase that is returned, canceled, refunded, charged back, fraudulent, self-referred, improperly attributed, or otherwise ineligible. If a reward is paid before a transaction is determined to be ineligible, ANCORE may reverse the reward or deduct the amount from future payments.

Self-referrals are prohibited. Customers may not create multiple accounts, use alternate identities or payment methods, refer members of the same household for the purpose of generating rewards, submit false or misleading information, place fraudulent or duplicate orders, distribute referral links or codes through unauthorized coupon or deal websites, use paid advertising to promote referral offers, or otherwise manipulate the Program.

Referral links and codes are intended for personal, noncommercial sharing with friends, family members, colleagues, and other genuine personal contacts. Referring customers must not send spam, make misleading claims, impersonate ANCORE, or represent themselves as employees or authorized agents of ANCORE. When publicly sharing a referral offer, the referring customer should clearly disclose that they may receive a cash reward if someone makes a qualifying purchase.

ANCORE’s tracking and referral-platform records will control when determining attribution and reward eligibility, except in cases of clear error. ANCORE is not responsible for tracking failures caused by deleted cookies, disabled tracking, incorrect links or codes, customer actions, third-party software, or circumstances outside ANCORE’s reasonable control.

Referral rewards may be subject to payment-account requirements, minimum payment thresholds, processing schedules, geographic limitations, tax-documentation requirements, and other conditions communicated through the referral platform. Referring customers are responsible for any taxes associated with rewards they receive.

ANCORE may review referral activity, delay payment while investigating suspected abuse, cancel ineligible rewards, suspend or remove participants, or take other appropriate action to protect the integrity of the referral program.

ANCORE may modify, suspend, or discontinue the customer referral program or change its discounts, rewards, eligibility requirements, or procedures prospectively by providing notice through the referral platform, website, email, or another reasonable method. Changes will not reduce referral rewards validly earned before the effective date of the change.

6. Taxes and Payment Information

You are responsible for all taxes, reporting obligations, fees, and expenses arising from your participation in the Program. You must provide any payment, identification, or tax documentation reasonably requested by ANCORE or its payment provider.

ANCORE may delay or withhold payment until required information is received and verified.

7. Promotional Codes, Referral Links, and Prohibited Activity

Promotional codes and referral links are provided for approved Program use only. You may not engage in activity intended to manipulate attribution, generate unearned commissions, or mislead customers.

Prohibited activity includes, without limitation:

Purchasing products through your own referral link or promotional code or arranging self-referrals through another person or account.
Creating fraudulent, duplicate, test, manipulated, or otherwise illegitimate orders.
Sharing codes on unauthorized coupon, discount, deal-aggregation, cashback, browser-extension, or code-distribution websites or networks.
Using bots, automated traffic, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, adware, spyware, misleading redirects, or similar attribution methods.
Bidding on ANCORE trademarks, product names, misspellings, or confusingly similar terms in paid-search or keyword advertising without prior written permission.
Registering or using domain names, usernames, social accounts, business names, or advertising identities that impersonate ANCORE or imply official ownership or endorsement.
Sending spam or unsolicited commercial messages or violating applicable email, text-message, privacy, advertising, or consumer-protection laws.
Making false, deceptive, misleading, or unauthorized offers, discounts, warranties, or representations.
Interfering with another participant’s referrals, codes, commissions, or Program account.
Exploiting errors, loopholes, or technical issues affecting Program tracking, discounts, orders, or payments.

Suspected abuse may result in an investigation, delayed payments, commission reversal, account suspension, removal from the Program, or other appropriate action.

8. Endorsements and Disclosures

You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material relationship with ANCORE whenever you promote, review, demonstrate, recommend, or discuss ANCORE or its products.

Disclosures must be easy to notice and understand and must appear with the endorsement itself. Examples may include “ANCORE Athlete,” “Paid partner with ANCORE,” “Sponsored by ANCORE,” or “I earn a commission when you use my link or code,” as appropriate to the content and platform.

A disclosure may not be hidden in a profile, placed only after a “more” link, buried among hashtags, or communicated in a way viewers are unlikely to notice. For video, livestream, or audio content, the disclosure should be presented in the content itself when appropriate and not solely in the accompanying caption.

You are responsible for complying with the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement requirements and all other advertising, disclosure, and consumer-protection laws applicable to you and your audience.

9. Truthful Claims and Safe Content

Your statements about ANCORE and its products must reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, and actual experiences. You may not make claims that are false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or inconsistent with ANCORE’s approved product information.

Unless expressly authorized by ANCORE in writing, you may not claim or imply that an ANCORE product:

Diagnoses, treats, cures, prevents, or mitigates any disease or medical condition.
Guarantees a particular health, rehabilitation, strength, performance, or financial result.
Is appropriate or safe for every person, injury, condition, or training environment.
Has received a certification, approval, endorsement, or qualification it has not received.

Product demonstrations must follow applicable safety instructions and use reasonable judgment. Content should not encourage unsafe installations, reckless use, improper loading, or training practices likely to cause injury or property damage.

You may not create or solicit fake reviews, fabricated testimonials, or endorsements from individuals who have not genuinely used or experienced the product.

10. Content Ownership and License

You retain ownership of original photos, videos, written materials, testimonials, reviews, demonstrations, social posts, and other content you create in connection with the Program (“Program Content”).

By submitting Program Content to ANCORE, tagging or mentioning ANCORE in Program-related content, using a designated Program hashtag, or otherwise making Program Content available to ANCORE for promotional use, you grant ANCORE and its affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, display, perform, repost, adapt, crop, resize, edit, combine, translate, create derivative works from, and otherwise use the Program Content in any media or format.

This license includes use in ANCORE’s websites, social media, email, retail materials, presentations, public relations, organic marketing, and paid advertising. It also includes the right to use your approved name, image, likeness, voice, social-media handle, biographical information, and statements as they appear in or relate to the Program Content.

ANCORE may make reasonable edits for length, formatting, branding, clarity, or placement, provided those edits do not materially misrepresent your statements or experience. No additional compensation is owed for licensed uses unless ANCORE separately agrees otherwise in writing.

You represent that you own or control all necessary rights to the Program Content and that ANCORE’s permitted use will not infringe the rights of another person or violate applicable law. You are responsible for obtaining permission from photographers, videographers, facilities, music owners, and identifiable individuals appearing in your content when required.

The license granted under this section survives suspension, removal, or termination and continues to apply to Program Content created or shared while you participated in the Program.

11. Use of ANCORE Intellectual Property

While you remain an approved Participant, ANCORE grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use approved ANCORE names, logos, product images, trademarks, and other brand materials solely to promote ANCORE in accordance with these Terms and any brand guidelines provided to you.

You may not modify ANCORE’s trademarks or logos, create derivative branding, remove legal notices, imply ownership, sublicense brand assets, or use ANCORE intellectual property for an unauthorized product, service, company, account, or domain.

All goodwill arising from your use of ANCORE intellectual property benefits ANCORE. Your permission to use ANCORE intellectual property ends immediately when your Program participation ends or when ANCORE requests that you stop using it.

12. Conduct and Brand Safety

Participants are expected to act professionally, responsibly, and in a manner consistent with the Program’s community standards.

ANCORE may suspend or remove a Participant whose conduct involves fraud, harassment, discrimination, threats, violence, unlawful behavior, dangerous product use, deceptive marketing, unsupported health or performance claims, or conduct that could reasonably cause material harm to ANCORE, its customers, its community, or its reputation.

This section is not intended to restrict lawful personal expression unrelated to ANCORE. ANCORE will evaluate conduct based on its connection to the Program and the potential impact on the brand, Program participants, or customers.

13. Confidentiality

You may receive nonpublic information regarding products, launches, pricing, marketing plans, campaigns, customers, business operations, technology, or Program strategy. You may not use or disclose confidential information except as necessary for authorized Program participation.

Confidential information does not include information that becomes public through no breach of these Terms, was lawfully known to you without a confidentiality obligation, or is independently developed without using ANCORE’s confidential information.

If disclosure is required by law, you must provide ANCORE with reasonable advance notice when legally permitted.

14. Suspension and Termination

Either you or ANCORE may end your participation at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.

ANCORE may immediately suspend your account, promotional code, referral link, benefits, or payments while investigating suspected fraud, code abuse, unsafe claims, misconduct, legal violations, reputational harm, or other violations of these Terms.

After termination, valid commissions earned from qualifying sales completed before the termination date will remain payable according to the normal 45-day payment timeline. Commissions connected to returned, canceled, refunded, fraudulent, manipulated, self-referred, or otherwise ineligible transactions may be withheld, reversed, or forfeited.

Upon termination, you must stop representing yourself as a current ANCORE Athlete and discontinue use of ANCORE intellectual property, promotional codes, referral links, and confidential information. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including provisions concerning content licenses, confidentiality, payment adjustments, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.

15. Compliance with Laws and Platform Rules

You are responsible for following all laws, regulations, advertising standards, privacy requirements, and social-media or platform rules applicable to your Program activities.

You may not collect, use, disclose, or sell personal information on ANCORE’s behalf unless ANCORE has expressly authorized you to do so in writing.

16. Records and Program Review

You agree to maintain reasonable records supporting your Program activities and compliance with these Terms. ANCORE may request information reasonably necessary to investigate transactions, disclosures, promotional methods, content rights, or potential violations.

Failure to cooperate with a reasonable review may result in suspension or termination.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Program, Program platform, referral links, tracking tools, promotional codes, benefits, and related materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ANCORE does not guarantee uninterrupted access, accurate tracking in every circumstance, any minimum level of sales or commissions, continued acceptance in the Program, or any particular business or financial result.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANCORE and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or reputational harm, arising from or related to the Program.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANCORE’s total aggregate liability arising from or related to the Program will not exceed the total commissions paid or payable to you during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ANCORE and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, judgments, and reasonable legal expenses arising from or related to:

Your breach of these Terms.
Your Program Content or promotional activities.
Your false, misleading, unauthorized, or unsafe statements or demonstrations.
Your violation of law or third-party rights.
Your misuse of ANCORE’s intellectual property, confidential information, referral links, or promotional codes.
Taxes, expenses, or obligations associated with your independent business activities.

ANCORE will provide reasonable notice of an indemnified claim and may participate in its defense.

20. Privacy

ANCORE will handle personal information associated with the Program in accordance with its Privacy Policy, available here.

The Program may be administered through a third-party platform or payment provider with its own privacy practices and terms. You are responsible for reviewing the policies applicable to services you choose to use.

Optional consent to receive marketing emails or automated marketing text messages is separate from acceptance of these Terms and is not required as a condition of Program participation or purchase.

21. Changes to These Terms

ANCORE may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are material, ANCORE will provide notice through the Program platform, email, or another reasonable method.

Unless otherwise stated, revised Terms apply prospectively as of their effective date. Continuing to participate after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of those revisions.

22. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Program must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Essex County, Massachusetts, or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. You and ANCORE consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

23. General Provisions

These Terms, the current Program schedule, ANCORE’s Privacy Policy, and any applicable written campaign agreement constitute the entire agreement concerning your participation in the Program and supersede prior discussions or representations concerning the same subject matter.

If a separate written campaign agreement conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement controls only with respect to that campaign.

ANCORE’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce that provision later. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

You may not assign these Terms or your Program participation without ANCORE’s prior written approval. ANCORE may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or other business transaction.

Headings are provided for convenience and do not affect interpretation. Electronic records and acceptances have the same effect as paper records and signatures.
