Patchloads' Affiliate Program offers eligible affiliates, including blogs and third-party websites (“Affiliates”), the opportunity to earn commissions on qualifying sales originating from links on an Affiliate’s site to Patchloads' websites. This policy outlines your rights and obligations when participating in Patchloads' Affiliate Program.

Patchloads' Affiliate Program enables eligible individuals or entities (collectively, “Affiliates”, each an “Affiliate”) to earn commissions on qualifying sales from links on an Affiliate’s Authorized Channel to Patchloads' websites (“Affiliate Links”).

 2. Provisions on Commission Rates, Eligible Sales, and Payments

As an Affiliate, you are entitled to earn commissions for eligible sales through Approved Channels. Commission rates are determined on a case-by-case basis and may fluctuate based on various factors such as the nature of the website, the type of purchase, and the content. You can view current commission rates by logging into the Patchloads Affiliate Dashboard.

Patchloads reserves the right to adjust commission rates at its discretion. Patchloads may also disqualify an Approved Channel if it deems it no longer compliant with the Affiliate Policy or inappropriate for Affiliate Links.


Eligible sales are purchases made on https://patchloads.com (the “Patchloads Site”) by users who access the Patchloads Site via an Affiliate Link on an Approved Channel and pay using a credit or debit card. Affiliate Links, including URLs and other promotional materials (collectively, the “Creative Assets”), are available on the Affiliate Program platform. To receive a commission, Affiliates must exclusively use the Creative Assets on Approved Channels.


Commissions are calculated by applying the respective commission rate to the qualifying sales' price (excluding taxes and shipping fees). Commissions will not be paid on sales that are canceled, refunded, or result in a chargeback. Patchloads reserves the right to withhold commissions if there is any suspicion of fraud or for any valid reason. Affiliates are responsible for paying any taxes related to their participation in Patchloads' Affiliate Program.

Patchloads may modify, suspend, or discontinue any Affiliate Link or discount code with or without notice.
