FAQ
The honest answers.
How is this different from the /partners affiliate program?
Different audiences, different mechanics. /partners is for content creators, coaches with newsletters, course creators — they earn 30% lifetime commission for ongoing promotion. /refer is for existing Cadence customers organically referring coach friends — one-month-free-per-referral, simpler, faster. You can absolutely be both, but most coaches will only need one.
Is there a cap on how many friends I can refer?
No cap on the number of referrals. Free months stack up to 12. Past 12, the credit converts to a $49 cash payout via Stripe per additional referral (your account stays paid; Stripe sends you the difference). Practical math: 24 successful referrals = 12 months free + 12 × $79 = $588 cash on top.
When does the credit hit my account?
Within 24 hours of the referred coach completing their 14-day setup-refund window. We wait the 14 days because if they refund, the referral doesn't count. After the window closes (and they're a real subscriber), your free month auto-credits to your next Stripe invoice.
What if my referred coach is on the founding-coach tier?
Founding-tier coaches use $199 setup; the $50 referral discount still applies (their setup drops to $149). Your free-month credit is the same regardless of which tier they sign up to — Coach, Studio, or Founding.
Can I share my link publicly — IG bio, blog, podcast?
Yes, with one rule. Per FTC §255.5 (and our /partners program disclosure language), if you share publicly you must disclose the material connection — e.g., "I get a free month if you sign up through this link" or "#ad" prominently. If your share is private (DM to one friend), no disclosure required. We're strict on this for affiliates; the same rule applies to organic referrers.
What if my friend signs up but doesn't enter my link?
No retroactive attribution. The link sets a 30-day cookie; if they sign up within that window, you get credit even if they bookmarked the page first. If they signed up before clicking your link, that signup belongs to whoever brought them in (most likely an ad or organic search). Honest cap on attribution.
Can I refer myself with a different email?
No — and we check. Stripe and Brevo both flag duplicate billing addresses + matching IPs. Self-referrals get flagged and reversed. Fraud → permanent program removal + forfeiture of any banked credits. We'd rather you not waste your time trying.
When does this program end?
No fixed end date, but the studio reserves the right to modify the program with 30 days notice. Any credits already banked when changes happen are honored at the original rate. Program changes go on the public with timestamps so you can verify.
