The Thesify Affiliate Program rewards creators and communicators for introducing Thesify to academic and research audiences. These terms set out who can join, how to promote responsibly, and what isn't allowed. Read them carefully before signing up. By joining the program, you agree to follow them.
Who this program is for
Thesify is built for researchers and academics, so our affiliate program is built for people who reach them. If your audience includes PhD students, postdocs, faculty, principal investigators, lab members, or others doing academic and research work, you're a good fit.
You don't need to hold an academic position yourself. What matters is that the people who follow, read, watch, or listen to you are working in research and academia. That includes academic YouTubers and podcasters, science communicators, newsletter authors covering research and writing, course creators teaching academic skills, lab and group leads, individual researchers with a public platform, and others with a comparable reach into academic communities.
If your audience is mainly general productivity, business, or non-academic creative writing, the program isn't a fit. Thesify is a specialised tool, and recommending it outside the right context tends to produce low-quality referrals that don't convert and that misrepresent what we do.
What you earn
Commission rates, cookie life and payout schedules are managed via our affiliate platform, FirstPromoter. Sign in to your dashboard at thesify.firstpromoter.com for current terms. Monthly commissions are paid, in Euros, at the end of the following month, subject to a minimum threshold, once the referred subscriptions have passed the cooling-off period.
Eligibility
To participate, you must:
Be at least 18 years old
Have a public platform or professional network that meaningfully reaches researchers, faculty, or others working in academia
Not be a current Thesify employee, contractor, or representative of a direct competitor
Comply with the laws, tax obligations, and disclosure rules in your jurisdiction
We reserve the right to decline applications or remove affiliates whose reach or content doesn't fit the program.
How you can promote Thesify
We encourage authentic, organic promotion. Examples that work well:
Honest reviews and walk-throughs on YouTube, blogs, or podcasts
Mentions in your newsletter or research community emails (where recipients have opted in)
Posts on academic social media: LinkedIn, Bluesky, X, Mastodon, Threads
Resource lists on lab pages, personal websites, or course pages, with appropriate disclosure
Talks, workshops, and conference recommendations where Thesify is contextually relevant
Video and short-form content on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and similar platforms
Please use the brand assets we provide. If you need additional materials (high-resolution logos, product screenshots, founder quotes, demo footage), email [contact@thesify.ai].
What's not allowed
These rules exist to protect our brand, your audience, and the integrity of academic work. Affiliates who breach them forfeit pending commissions and may be removed from the program.
No paid advertising without prior approval
Affiliates may not run paid advertising campaigns to promote Thesify. This includes:
Google Ads, Bing Ads, and other search advertising
Meta ads (Facebook, Instagram)
LinkedIn, X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and similar platform ads
Bidding on Thesify-branded keywords or close variations (for example, "thesify", "thesify ai", "thesify reviewer", and common misspellings)
Pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, and incentivised click schemes
If you'd like to run paid campaigns on our behalf, contact [contact@thesify.ai] before launching anything. We're open to discussing partnerships; every paid campaign requires written approval and agreed terms in advance.
No claims that conflict with academic integrity
Thesify is built to support researchers who do their own work. Do not promote Thesify as:
A tool that "writes papers for you" or "generates manuscripts"
A way to bypass plagiarism detection or AI-detection systems
A substitute for original research, original writing, or proper attribution
A means to circumvent institutional, journal, or funder AI policies
If your audience asks how Thesify fits with academic integrity rules, please direct them to our Values page.
No misleading claims
Don't exaggerate features, fabricate testimonials, invent partnerships ("Thesify is endorsed by [University]"), or imply outcomes we haven't claimed (acceptance rates, citation counts, journal placements, grades).
No spam or unsolicited messaging
This includes mass email to lists where recipients haven't opted in, unsolicited direct messages, posting in forums or Discord servers where promotion isn't permitted, and similar tactics. Promotion through institutional mailing lists is only allowed where your institution explicitly permits commercial recommendations.
No misuse of our trademarks
Do not register domains, social handles, app names, or product names containing "Thesify" or close variants. Do not modify our logo or visual identity. Do not represent yourself as Thesify staff or imply a partnership beyond the affiliate relationship.
No coupon, cashback, or deal site listings
Listings on coupon, cashback, or deal aggregator sites require prior written approval. These channels typically produce low-quality referrals that don't reflect genuine engagement with the product.
Special considerations for faculty and principal investigators
If you happen to be a faculty member, principal investigator, course instructor, or hold an editorial role, please observe the following. These rules are about protecting both your reputation and the trust of those who rely on you.
Don't pressure your students or supervisees. Do not require, suggest, or imply that students or supervisees should sign up through your link. Recommendations made within a supervisory relationship can be perceived as coercive, even when well-intentioned. If a student asks you about Thesify, recommend it on its merits and let them decide how they sign up.
Disclose in teaching contexts. If you mention Thesify in course materials, syllabi, slides, or required reading lists, include a clear disclosure that you participate in the affiliate program. The same applies to recommendations on lab pages, group websites, or onboarding documents that students or junior researchers are expected to read.
Keep institutional channels separate. Don't use institutional newsletters, official departmental communications, or platforms managed in your university role to promote affiliate links unless your institution explicitly permits this. Many institutions prohibit revenue-generating recommendations through official channels, and the rules vary by country and university.
Consider editorial and review conflicts. If you serve on editorial boards, journal review committees, grant panels, or similar bodies, think carefully about how affiliate recommendations could be perceived in those contexts. When in doubt, disclose or refrain.
Disclosure requirements
Wherever you share an affiliate link, make the relationship clear. This is required by law in many jurisdictions, including the FTC in the United States, the ASA in the United Kingdom, the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, and similar rules elsewhere. It's also good practice everywhere.
A simple disclosure works: "This is an affiliate link. If you subscribe through it, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you."
For video and audio content, include the disclosure both verbally and in the description.
Termination
You can leave the program at any time by closing your account on FirstPromoter.
We may suspend or terminate any account that breaches these terms, or remove an affiliate at our discretion. In cases of breach, we may withhold pending commissions or claw back amounts already paid where the breach is material.
We may also update these terms. Active affiliates will be notified of meaningful changes by email, and the date at the top of this page will be updated.
Liability
The program is offered on an as-is basis. Thesify isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from your participation. Nothing in these terms limits liability where applicable law prohibits exclusion (for example, gross negligence or fraud).
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland. Disputes will be resolved in Switzerland.
