The Multimedia Studio · Affiliate program · Agreement
Version 2026-10-25, updated October 25, 2026.
This agreement is between you and The Multimedia Studio (“TMS”, “we”). It sets the rules of the TMS affiliate program. The Terms of Service (/terms) still apply to your account; where they differ, this agreement decides about the affiliate program.
You join as an independent contractor. You aren’t TMS’s employee, agent or partner, you can’t speak for TMS or bind it, and you choose how you spend your time.
You earn from a referred account: a NEW TMS account that signs up through one of your links within 30 days of the click, or that enters your link’s name as a referral code when signing up. It stays yours for 12 months from the day TMS approves that account. Accounts that existed before can’t be referred.
| What the referred account pays for | You earn | Launch rate* |
|---|---|---|
| Rent: stores, mall units, homes, offices, stalls, food trucks, kiosks, residences, and extending them | 20% of what TMS keeps | 30% |
| Ads: billboards, buses and taxis, the Orbit crown, the Gazette, the Wheel’s cabins, murals | 20% of what TMS keeps | 30% |
| Cinema screen rentals, Lockworks rooms, Library books, Rewind films, Griddles Featured hours, Mouseion halls, Auctionarium salons | 20% of what TMS keeps | 30% |
| UniverseT courses and programs run by TMS | 20% of what TMS keeps | 30% |
| Briefs, campaigns and pitch pools a referred client pays for | 50% of TMS’s fee on their first brief, then 25% | 50%, then 35% |
| Cinema tickets; UniverseT courses taught by a professor | 25% of TMS’s fee | 35% |
| Emblem Court: tickets to shows in the Mouseion’s halls, pieces bought from those shows, and lots won at the Auctionarium | 25% of TMS’s fee (on a lot: the buyer’s premium and the commission) | 35% |
| What a referred creative, professor, screen renter, Mouseion hall renter or Auctionarium seller earns | 10% of TMS’s fee on it | 10% |
* Referred accounts that sign up in the program’s first 90 days earn the launch rate for their full 12 months.
“What TMS keeps” is the payment less sales tax, the card processing fee, refunds and chargebacks, and whatever goes on to someone else (a creative, a screen renter, a professor, a hall renter, a seller — and a piece’s postage, which is the renter’s). When a payment shares a fee between two affiliates, together they never get more than half of what TMS kept on it.
One level only: you never earn on another affiliate’s commissions, and nobody earns on yours.
Your taxes are yours to report and pay, wherever you live. If you live in Canada and are registered for GST/HST, give us your number and we add the tax to your commissions. Canadian affiliates paid more than $500 in a year may be asked for a Social Insurance Number or business number for a T4A slip.
You name your links. Names must be clean and your own: nothing obscene or hateful, nothing that sounds official, and no partner brand’s name. TMS may take any link down. A link you take down keeps working for 90 days; a name is never given to anyone else.
We may change this agreement. We’ll email you at least 30 days before any change that lowers what you earn; a change never applies to commissions already earned.
You can leave at any time from your Earn page; we can end your membership at any time. Approved commissions are then paid as usual — unless your membership ends because you broke this agreement, in which case commissions not yet paid are cancelled and you can’t join again.
Stripe checks your ID; TMS keeps only the result (verified, 18 or older) and a coded fingerprint of your name and date of birth so one person can’t join twice — never the document or your date of birth. People you refer see your name as the person who invited them. You see how many referred accounts you have and what they earned you — never who they are. The Privacy Policy (/privacy) explains the rest.
The laws of Ontario and of Canada apply. Nothing in this agreement takes away a right you have by law.
