Effective date: November 12, 2026
These terms apply to the Mboum referral program (the "Program"). They are part of the Mboum Terms and Conditions. If the two conflict, these Program terms apply to the Program.
1. Joining
Every Mboum account is enrolled in the Program automatically, so there is nothing to apply for. Your referral link is on the Referral Program page in the account dashboard. We can remove a member from the Program at any time.
2. Your referral link
You get a personal link in the form https://mboum.com/?r=YOURCODE. When someone opens your link, their browser remembers it for 60 days. If they create a Mboum account in that time, we count them as your referral. If they open more than one referral link, the most recent one counts. We cannot attribute customers who subscribe through a marketplace such as RapidAPI.
3. Commission
You earn 50% of the first payment a referred customer makes for a paid Mboum API plan. The commission is paid once for each referred customer. Renewals, later payments, plan changes, and usage-based overage charges do not earn a commission. We calculate the commission on the amount the customer actually pays, after any discount. Free plans, trials, and $0 payments earn nothing.
4. Holding period
Each commission stays pending for 30 days after the customer's payment. If that payment is refunded, reversed, or disputed during this time, the commission is cancelled. After 30 days you can move the commission to your balance from the Affiliates page.
5. Payouts
You can request a payout through PayPal once your balance reaches $50. Enter the email address of your PayPal account when you make the request. We review each request and pay it by hand, in the order we receive them. Commissions we cancel or correct are taken off your balance. You are responsible for any taxes on what you earn, and we may ask for tax details before we pay you.
6. Not allowed
- Referring yourself, or accounts you or your organization control, including accounts made with a different email address, an alias, or a dot or plus variation of your own.
- Creating fake or duplicate accounts, or paying with a payment method that is not the customer's own.
- Spam, unsolicited bulk messages, or posting your link where it is not welcome.
- Bidding on Mboum brand names or look-alike names in paid search, or using a domain that imitates Mboum.
- Misleading claims about Mboum, its prices, or the Program, or offering customers rewards for signing up.
If we find a violation, we can cancel your commissions, remove the commissions already paid from future payouts, and end your membership.
7. Changes
We can change these terms, the commission, or the payout rules, or end the Program, at any time. A change applies to payments made after we post it. Commissions already past the holding period are still paid.
