Hypothetical hair-care content brief
Suppose you are planning a guide to choosing a curl cream. Use documented details to frame the reader's decision, then distinguish your own observations from merchant claims. We have not tested these products.
| Reader's question | Documented starting point | Original work to add |
|---|---|---|
| How would I use it? | RE:COIL's directions say to scrunch into damp hair, then air dry or diffuse.2 | Explain the routine and, if you test it, record your actual hair, amount and drying method. Do not invent results. |
| Which format fits my routine? | Listed options are 2.5, 6 and 12 oz, plus a 24 oz refill.2 | Compare the actual package and storage needs. Size alone does not prove travel suitability or environmental savings. |
| Which ingredient list should I use? | AG says formulations may change and the product label is the most accurate list.2 | Identify the exact variant/label you examined. Avoid treating “clean” positioning as a safety or efficacy test. |

Follow the sale to payment
The provider's October example is illustrative; we have not tracked or received a payment.
The FAQ asks for bank or PayPal setup and a W-9 for U.S. affiliates, and gives an Impact autopay minimum of US$10 or local equivalent. Confirm your account's withdrawal settings, fees and funds availability. The template processes transactions in USD, with exchanges when account currencies differ; the customer policy's CAD pricing is a separate fact.4,5,8
Limits to check before applying
- Coupons and channels: use your assigned active code and approved link, show the offer/expiry, remove expired or unauthorized codes, and obtain approval for multiple sites/new placements. The FAQ allows website/social/text and subscribed email with opt-out, but prohibits posting your link on AG's own social channels.5,4
- Paid search and enforcement: the template prohibits search-engine PPC bidding, with protected-brand/variant restrictions including paid social placements. Violations can forfeit commissions or suspend pending credit. It also prohibits a partner conversion pixel, permits advertiser-decided reversals up to 100%, and allows template changes/cancellation on one day's notice. These are permissions, not observed reversal rates.5
- Customer clocks: direct ag.care return requests must start within 30 days of receiving the order; other retailers handle their own returns. Accepted orders/payments cannot be adjusted or cancelled under the posted policy. These rules do not define affiliate locking or reversal deadlines.8
- Delivery details differ: the shipping body estimates 4-7 business days, while its description says 2-5. The body says $50 and over excluding tax; banners and Canadian after-discount wording say over $50. Confirm the actual country, discounted subtotal, currency and delivery terms instead of promising an exact-$50 offer or arrival date.8
Contract gap: an accessible Refersion/AG Hair document says first-time customers only and payment on the month's 15th. The current Impact material uses each-purchase wording and the locking schedule above. The old document's current applicability is unconfirmed. Additional AG Affiliate Terms appear behind a “View Terms” button in the public offer; we have not read that full document. Obtain the actual agreement before relying on repeat-sale eligibility, complete permissions or payout rules.9,3,4,5
