MACO Core: Partner Programme Terms
Last updated: 13 November 2026
These Partner Programme Terms ("Partner Terms") apply if we have invited you to join the MACO Core Partner Programme (the "Programme") and you have accepted. They are separate from our Terms of Service, which still apply to any services you buy from us yourself.
If anything here is unclear, ask us first at [email protected].
1. Who we are
1.1 MACO Core is a trading name of MACO, a business run by Miguel Alejandro Chavez Oliva, a sole trader based in England ("we", "us", "our").
1.2 Our address: coming soon. You can always reach us at [email protected].
1.3 "You" means the person we have accepted into the Programme (a "Partner").
2. Joining the Programme
2.1 Invite only. The Programme is by invitation. We decide who can join, and we can say no without giving a reason.
2.2 18 or over. You must be at least 18 years old to be a Partner. By joining you confirm that you are. We may ask for proof of age at any time, and we will not pay commission to anyone under 18.
2.3 One account, one code. Each Partner has one partner account and one partner code. You must not create extra accounts or codes.
2.4 Accurate details. You must give us your real name, a working email address and a correct PayPal email address, and keep them up to date.
3. Your partner code
3.1 We give you a unique partner code. When a new customer uses your code at checkout, they get a discount on their first invoice. The size of the discount is set by us for your code and shown on your partner page.
3.2 A purchase only counts as referred by you if your code was applied when the order was placed. We cannot add your code to an order afterwards.
3.3 Your code may only work on some products (for example game servers). Your partner page shows which.
4. Commission
4.1 Rates. Unless your partner page says otherwise, you earn:
- 25% of the amount a referred customer actually pays for their first invoice for a service bought with your code; and
- 5% of the amount they actually pay for each later invoice for that same service, for as long as that service stays active and you remain a Partner.
Your current rates are always shown on your partner page. We may agree different rates with you.
4.2 What commission is calculated on. Commission is worked out on the amount the customer actually paid us for the service, after discounts and excluding any VAT, payment fees we cannot recover, refunds and credits.
4.3 No self-referral. You do not earn commission on anything bought by you, by an account you control, or by anyone buying on your behalf. Using your own code, or getting others to buy through it for you, is a breach of these Partner Terms.
4.4 Holding period. New commission is held for 30 days ("pending") before it becomes available. This covers refunds, cancellations within the cooling-off period and chargebacks.
4.5 Reversals. If a referred payment is refunded, charged back or found to be fraudulent, the commission on it is cancelled. If it was already paid to you, we may take it off your next payout or ask you to pay it back.
4.6 Records. Our records decide what commission you have earned. If you think something is wrong, tell us within 60 days and we will look into it in good faith.
5. Payouts
5.1 Minimum. You can ask for a payout from your partner page once your available balance is at least £10.
5.2 How we pay. We pay by PayPal to the PayPal email address on your partner account, in pounds sterling. We normally pay within 7 days of your request.
5.3 Wrong details. If you give us a wrong PayPal email address, we are not responsible for money sent to it. If PayPal returns or blocks a payment, the amount goes back to your available balance.
5.4 Fees. Any fees PayPal charges you for receiving money are yours.
5.5 Tax. You are responsible for your own tax and for telling HMRC (or your local tax authority) about your partner income. We do not take tax off your payouts. You are not our employee.
6. Promoting MACO Core
6.1 Label it as an ad. Every post, video, stream, description or message that includes your code or promotes us must be clearly labelled as advertising, for example with "#ad" or "Ad" at the start, so people can see it is an ad before they engage with it. You must follow the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising (CAP Code), guidance from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and the rules of each platform you use (including any "paid promotion" setting).
6.2 Be honest. Only make claims about us that are true and match our website. Do not promise features, prices, uptime or support we do not offer. If you are not sure, ask us.
6.3 Do not:
- send spam, unsolicited messages or bulk emails, or post your code in places where it is not allowed;
- bid on "MACO Core", "macocore" or similar terms in paid search or social ads, or use them in domain names, usernames or app names;
- post fake reviews, or reviews of us without making clear you are a Partner;
- list your code on coupon, voucher or cashback sites without our written permission;
- pretend to be us, or suggest you are our employee or official support;
- promote us next to illegal, hateful, adult or other content that could harm our reputation;
- target your promotion at children.
6.4 Brand use. While you are a Partner, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use our name, logos and brand kit only to promote the Programme, and only as shown in the brand kit. Do not change, recolour or distort our logos. We can withdraw this right at any time, and it ends automatically when you stop being a Partner.
6.5 Hosting exclusivity. While you are a Partner, you agree not to promote, advertise or take part in an affiliate or sponsorship programme for any other game server, VPS or dedicated server hosting provider. You can still mention other hosts in honest, unpaid comparisons or answers to questions. If you already have a hosting deal when you join, tell us before you accept these Partner Terms and we will agree how to handle it in writing.
7. Ending the partnership
7.1 By you. You can leave the Programme at any time by emailing [email protected].
7.2 By us. We can end your partnership, or close the Programme, at any time by telling you. We will normally give you 30 days' notice, unless you have broken these Partner Terms, in which case we can end it straight away.
7.3 What happens to your money. When a partnership ends:
- recurring commission stops, and you do not earn commission on payments made after the end date;
- commission still pending becomes available at the end of its holding period as normal;
- we pay out your available balance on request, even if it is under £10.
If we end your partnership because of fraud, self-referral or a serious breach of these Partner Terms, we do not have to pay commission connected with that breach, and we may cancel commission that is pending or available.
7.4 You must stop using our brand and your code straight away when your partnership ends.
8. Changes to the Programme
8.1 We may change these Partner Terms, including commission rates, holding periods and the minimum payout. We will tell you at least 30 days before a change that reduces what you earn. Commission you have already earned keeps the rates in force when it was earned.
8.2 If you do not agree with a change, you can leave the Programme before it takes effect.
9. Our relationship
9.1 You are an independent partner. Nothing in these Partner Terms makes you our employee, worker, agent or business partner, and you cannot make promises or sign agreements on our behalf.
9.2 You pay your own costs of promoting us.
10. Liability
10.1 Nothing in these Partner Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
10.2 Otherwise, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, income or opportunity, and our total liability to you under these Partner Terms is limited to the commission paid or owed to you in the 12 months before the claim.
10.3 You are responsible for your own content and promotion. If we receive a claim, fine or complaint because you broke these Partner Terms or the law (for example, unlabelled ads), you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it.
11. Personal data
11.1 We use your details (name, email, PayPal email, partner account activity and payout records) to run the Programme, pay you, prevent fraud and meet our legal and tax obligations. We keep payout records for as long as tax law requires. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and your rights.
11.2 Your partner page shows how many orders and how much commission came from your code. It does not show you the identity of the customers who used it.
12. General
12.1 These Partner Terms, together with your partner page, are the whole agreement between us about the Programme.
12.2 You may not transfer your partnership or your commission to anyone else.
12.3 If any part of these Partner Terms is found to be invalid, the rest still applies.
12.4 If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
12.5 These Partner Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
