Affiliate Disclosure

1. What Is Our Affiliate Program?

Concord Strategic operates an affiliate marketing program that allows approved individuals and organizations (our "Affiliates") to earn commissions by promoting our educational products. Affiliates share unique tracking links on their websites, social media channels, email newsletters, YouTube channels, or other platforms. When someone clicks one of those links and purchases a product from Concord Strategic, the affiliate earns a commission.

This is a performance-based marketing model — affiliates are paid only when they successfully generate a sale. There is no cost to become an affiliate.

2. How Affiliate Links Work

Each affiliate is assigned a unique tracking link that contains their affiliate ID. When you click an affiliate's link to visit concordstrategic.org, a cookie is placed in your browser that records which affiliate referred you. If you make a purchase within the cookie window, the referring affiliate receives credit for the sale and earns a commission.

Key facts for customers:

• Your price is never affected. You pay the exact same price whether you come through an affiliate link or navigate directly to our website. Affiliates are paid by us from our marketing budget — not by you.
• Affiliate cookies are optional. You can decline affiliate tracking cookies through our Cookie Policy preference center. This will not affect your ability to browse or purchase — it simply means the affiliate may not receive credit for the referral.
• Your data is protected. Affiliates do not have access to your personal information, purchase history, or payment details. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

3. FTC Disclosure Requirement

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that affiliate relationships be clearly disclosed. If you arrive at concordstrategic.org through an affiliate's link, that affiliate may have a financial relationship with us — specifically, they may earn a commission if you purchase. This disclosure ensures you are aware of that relationship.

Our affiliates are required by our program terms to disclose their relationship with Concord Strategic on any content that promotes our products. If you see content about Concord Strategic products on a third-party website, blog, social media account, or YouTube channel, look for an affiliate disclosure or sponsorship notice on that content.

4. Our Affiliate Program Terms

Affiliates who participate in the Concord Strategic affiliate program agree to the following standards:

• Honest promotion. Affiliates may not make false, misleading, or exaggerated claims about our products. All promotional content must accurately represent what our products contain and what they do.
• Clear disclosure. Affiliates must clearly disclose their affiliate relationship on all promotional content — including blog posts, social media posts, videos, and emails — in a conspicuous manner before any affiliate links.
• No spam. Affiliates may not use spam, unsolicited email, or deceptive advertising methods to promote our products.
• Educational context. Our products are educational in nature and must be promoted as such. Affiliates may not imply that our products constitute legal, financial, or professional advice.
• FTC compliance. Affiliates must comply with FTC guidelines including the Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials (16 CFR Part 255).
• No cookie stuffing. Affiliates may not use cookie stuffing, forced clicks, or any other deceptive methods to generate affiliate commissions.

5. Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you visit concordstrategic.org through an affiliate link, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. This cookie:

• Records the affiliate's unique ID so they can receive credit for the referral
• Remains active for a defined cookie window (typically 30–90 days depending on the affiliate program configuration)
• Does not collect your personal information beyond what is necessary to attribute the referral
• Can be accepted or declined through our cookie preference center

If you visit our site through an affiliate link but do not purchase immediately, the cookie may still be active if you return and purchase within the cookie window. In that case, the affiliate would still receive credit for the referral.

6. How to Identify Affiliate-Promoted Content

If you encounter content promoting Concord Strategic products on a third-party platform, our affiliates are required to include a disclosure similar to:

This disclosure should appear clearly before any affiliate links — not buried at the bottom of the page or hidden in fine print.

7. Becoming an Affiliate

8. Our Products Are Educational

All products sold by Concord Strategic are for educational and informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. Any affiliate promoting our products must make this clear in their promotional content. Affiliates may not imply that purchasing our products creates an attorney-client relationship or replaces professional legal or financial advice. See our full Disclaimer.

9. Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure as our affiliate program evolves. When we make material changes we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website constitutes acceptance of the current version of this disclosure.
