How Creator attribution works

• Visiting a Creator page or challenge link can prepare an attribution, but it does not finalize it by itself.
• Attribution is established when a user completes checkout for a commitment through that Creator context.
• The checkout screen shows the Creator attribution before the user creates the commitment.
• For Creator challenges, the proposed commitment generally has to be accepted without a material change for that challenge allocation to remain eligible.

For specific challenge links, see Creator links and challenges.

After checkout through a Creator context, the Creator can become the user's active account-level attribution. This matters because a later commitment created by the same user can still be attributed to that Creator even if the user starts from the normal commitment page.

• The attribution can remain active for up to 12 months under the current Creator terms.
• It is not shown as a discount code because it does not change what the user pays.
• Commitery still discloses the attribution at checkout where it can affect Creator upside.

The legal basis is set out in the Creator Terms.

• A later successful checkout through another Creator can update the user's current Creator attribution for future commitments.
• Passive browsing alone does not silently replace an existing attribution.
• A user can remove active attribution in account settings. This affects future commitments, not commitments that already recorded a Creator at checkout.
• If Commitery detects an attribution error, abuse, expired link, or ineligible referral, it can correct or remove attribution according to the program rules.

How attribution can become a payout is covered in Creator payouts.

• Attribution affects only the potential Creator allocation. It does not increase the user's commitment amount.
• Allocation eligibility requires a final failed commitment, a successful charge, and no withdrawal, refund, reversal, chargeback, fraud issue, or policy disqualification.
• Commitery does not create duplicate Creator upside for the same commitment.

• Merely opening a Creator link.
• Browsing a Creator challenge and leaving before checkout.
• Creating a materially different commitment from a proposed Creator challenge.
• Self-referrals, fake accounts, expired links, inactive links, or referrals blocked by fraud or policy controls.
