BMG "Walk & Shop" / "Shop the Look" Partner Affiliate Terms
This Partner Affiliate Addendum (the "Addendum") is entered into by and between Broadcast Media Global Group / BMG ("Company," "we," or "us"), Calvin Childs, and the participating talent ("Partner," "Model," or "you"), and is executed in conjunction with the BMG Model Submission & Talent Release Agreement.
WHEREAS, Company operates interactive digital media channels, including BMG Magazine and BMG Catwalk, featuring interactive digital commerce mechanisms known as "Walk & Shop" and "Shop the Look" (the "Commerce Programs"); and
WHEREAS, Model wishes to participate in the Commerce Programs to monetize clothing, footwear, accessories, and beauty items worn during photo shoots and runway presentations.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Commerce Program Architecture
Company will integrate interactive clickable conduits, product tags, or visual links into Model's featured pages or catwalk video reels. These links connect viewers directly to third-party retail platforms, including but not limited to the Amazon Associates program, Amazon Marketplace, brand storefronts, and third-party affiliate networks ("Third-Party Merchants").
2. Commission Calculation & Splits
- (a) Net Revenue Definition: "Net Affiliate Commissions" is defined as the gross referral fees actually received and cleared into Company's bank account from Third-Party Merchants directly attributable to Model's assigned tracking links, less standard third-party platform processing fees, customer product returns, shipping disputes, and chargebacks.
- (b) Revenue Split: Under BMG's published partner schedule, Model receives 50% of Net Affiliate Commissions generated through Model's tracked links on Walk & Shop and in the Walk Feed, with Company retaining 50%. On What She Wore model pages, the creators' pool is shared as published in that program: 25% to the model, 25% to the photographer, 50% to Company (a model whose own photographs are used takes the full creators' share). A separate written schedule signed by both parties prevails over this page if the two ever differ.
- (c) Disputed / Unattributed Sales: Commissions are calculated solely through automated third-party cookie/pixel tracking. Company is not liable for untracked purchases resulting from ad-blockers, cleared browser cookies, or direct outside navigation.
3. Payment Terms & Thresholds
- (a) Payment Schedule: Commissions shall be disbursed on a Net-60 basis (sixty days following the close of the calendar month in which Company receives cleared payment from the Third-Party Merchant), allowing for standard return windows.
- (b) Minimum Payout Threshold: Payouts will be issued once accrued unpaid commissions reach twenty-five dollars ($25.00 USD). Balances below $25.00 will roll over to the subsequent pay period.
- (c) Method: Payments will be issued via direct deposit, ACH, Zelle, or Wise to the account details on file. The exact method available for a partner's country is confirmed in her partner agreement.
4. Deductions, Cancellations & Clawbacks
If a customer returns merchandise, cancels an order, or if a merchant issues a commission clawback after a payout has been disbursed, Company reserves the right to deduct an equivalent sum from Model's future commission distributions.
5. Independent Contractor & Taxes
Model participates strictly as an independent contractor. Company will not withhold income taxes, FICA, or other employee withholdings. Model is solely responsible for reporting all earnings and paying applicable federal, state, and local taxes. If required by law, Company will issue an IRS Form 1099-NEC.
6. No Sales Guarantees
Company makes no guarantees, warranties, or representations regarding customer click-through volume, product availability on third-party stores, price changes made by Amazon or designers, or guaranteed commission earnings.
