Affiliate Program Agreement

Last updated: November 9, 2026

1. About This Agreement

This Affiliate Program Agreement is between you (the "Affiliate") and Fox 3 Lodging LLC, doing business as TDY Hero ("TDY Hero"). It covers how you refer Hosts and Clients to TDY Hero and how you earn commission. The Terms of Use also apply. You accept this agreement when you join the program.

2. Joining

Anyone 18 or over can apply. We may approve or decline any application. Once approved, you get an Affiliate dashboard with your referral link. Joining is free.

3. How Referrals Are Tracked

  • A referral counts when someone clicks your link and then buys a Host plan or sends a housing request within 60 days of that click. Once a Client's housing request is credited to you, a Client Agreement they sign later also counts, even after the 60 days.
  • Tracking uses a browser cookie (see the Cookie Policy). If the person clears cookies, uses a different device or browser, or blocks cookies, we may not be able to credit you.
  • The referral must be new to TDY Hero. Someone who already has a TDY Hero account, or was already in contact with our team, does not count.
  • If more than one affiliate referred the same person, the last link clicked within the 60 days gets the credit.

4. Commission

Commission is earned only when your unique affiliate link was used (see section 3).

  • Property listings: 15% of the Host's first plan payment. Renewals and later purchases do not earn commission.
  • Plans that count: Starter and Pro, and the older Gold and Platinum plans. Bronze, complimentary and special plans do not.
  • Qualified housing requests: $10 for each qualified request. A request is qualified once the Client has completed the housing request and the application, and has sent their military orders. Only one request per Client for the same base counts.
  • Signed Client bonus: when a Client you referred signs a Client Agreement, you earn a bonus on top of the $10 request commission. The bonus depends on the length of the stay in the signed agreement:
Length of stayBonus
30 days or less$50
31 to 60 days$100
61 to 90 days$150
91 to 120 days$250
121 to 150 days$300
Over 150 days$350
  • The bonus is earned once the Client has moved in and their first rent payment has cleared. It then follows the holding period in section 5.
  • If the stay is cancelled before move-in, or the first payment is refunded, no bonus is paid.
  • If the Client moves in and later leaves early for any reason, including new military orders, you keep the bonus.
  • One bonus per stay. Extending the same stay does not earn another bonus.
  • We may change commission rates with 30 days' email notice. Changes do not affect commission already earned.

5. Holding Period, Payment and Refunds

  • Commission is held for 30 days after the referred payment, then reviewed and approved by our team.
  • If the referred payment is refunded or reversed during the hold, the commission is cancelled. If it is refunded after commission was paid, we may take that amount from your next commission.
  • Approved commission is paid by PayPal or Stripe, as chosen in your dashboard, monthly. There is no minimum payout.
  • You must give accurate payment details and any tax forms we ask for, such as a W-9. You are responsible for your own taxes.
  • Commission that cannot be paid after 6 months because your details are missing is forfeited.

6. Rules

You must not:

  • Use your own link to buy a plan or refer yourself.
  • Bid on "TDY Hero" or similar search terms, or run ads that compete with TDY Hero's own.
  • Use spam, misleading claims, fake reviews, cookie stuffing, hidden links or bots.
  • Promise Hosts bookings or income, or Clients a property, on TDY Hero's behalf.
  • Encourage a Host and a Client to set up a stay or any other business outside TDY Hero, without TDY Hero's agreements and payments (see section 13 of the Terms of Use).
  • Offer cash or gifts for sign-ups without our written approval.
  • Suggest you are TDY Hero or speak for it.

You must clearly say you may earn a commission when you share your link, as US advertising rules (FTC) require. You may use the TDY Hero name and logo only as we provide them, and only to promote the program. If you break these rules, we may cancel unpaid commission and end your participation.

7. Confidentiality and Personal Information

Keep private any non-public information you learn about TDY Hero, its Hosts or its Clients. Use personal information about the people you refer only as they have allowed, and follow privacy and anti-spam laws.

8. Ending the Agreement

Either side may end this agreement at any time by email to support@tdyhero.com. If you end it, or we end it without cause, commission earned on payments made before the end date is still paid after its hold. If we end it because you broke the rules, unpaid commission is cancelled. After it ends, stop using your link and the TDY Hero name and logo.

9. Liability and Disputes

The program and dashboard are provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, TDY Hero's total liability to you is limited to the greater of the commission you earned in the 12 months before the claim or $100. The dispute steps (including arbitration) and Florida governing law in the Terms of Use apply.

10. General

You are an independent business, not TDY Hero's employee, partner or agent. Joining does not make you exclusive to TDY Hero. We may update this agreement with 30 days' email notice; if you do not agree, you may leave the program. If any part cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
