LRKN CUSTOM MERCH PARTNER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. About this agreement

These terms govern participation in the LRKN Custom Merch Partner Program operated by LRKN.4X4&CAMPING (“LRKN”, “we”, “us”).

You (“Partner”, “you”) are completing this registration after purchasing a Merch Launch Package through Shopify. This registration establishes your partner account and records your agreement to the program terms. It does not require another setup payment.

By agreeing to these terms, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, are authorised to represent the brand you submit, and have provided accurate information.

LRKN will match your registration to your Launch Package order before approving your partner account. Your artwork, products and collection remain subject to review and approval before launch.

2. Collection setup

Your Merch Launch Package includes up to three approved launch products, custom product mockups, custom garment tags, custom box stickers, custom insert cards, an LRKN-hosted creator collection, production setup, packing and fulfilment, customer service and order handling, and Partner Earnings tracking.

Available garments, colours, sizes and print placements are subject to suitability and availability.

Additional products, artwork services, revisions or special packaging outside the agreed setup may attract additional charges. Any additional charges must be agreed with you before that work proceeds.

You are not required to purchase bulk stock upfront.

3. Your purchased payment option

Your payment option is the option purchased in your Shopify Launch Package order. Registering through GoAffPro does not change that option or authorise another charge.

You can choose to Pay in Full: $249 or Low-Upfront Launch $100 ($299 in total)

Once your $249 setup fee has been paid in full, there is no outstanding setup balance. Eligible Partner Earnings accrue to you from your first eligible completed sale on the LRKN website, subject to these terms.

If you chose the Low-Upfront Launch: $100 upfront, once your initial $100 setup payment has been paid, the remaining $199 setup balance is recovered from your eligible Partner Earnings as your products sell. The total setup cost under this option is $299.

Eligible Partner Earnings are applied to the outstanding setup balance until it reaches zero. After that, eligible Partner Earnings become payable to you under the normal payout terms.

If an earning exceeds the remaining setup balance, only the amount needed to clear that balance is retained. The remainder becomes payable to you.

LRKN will not separately charge the remaining $199 through Shopify checkout or require separate instalment payments.

If your collection does not generate enough eligible earnings to clear the balance, no separate payment for the shortfall is required, provided you remain compliant with these terms.

The initial $240 or $100 setup payment is non-refundable once setup work has commenced, except where a refund or other remedy is required by Australian Consumer Law. You agree that LRKN can continue to sell your products until those fees are recovered.

4. Your brand and artwork

You must own, or have permission to use, all names, logos, artwork, photographs, text and other material you provide.

You must not submit material that infringes another party’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights, or material that is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or otherwise unsuitable for the program.

You give LRKN a non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce and make agreed production adjustments to your submitted material for the purpose of preparing, promoting, selling and fulfilling your approved collection.

You retain ownership of your submitted material.

LRKN may refuse or remove material where there is a reasonable concern about its legality, ownership, suitability or production quality.

5. Approval and production

You are responsible for checking and approving your collection details, including artwork, spelling, garment choices, colours, print placements and retail prices, before production or launch.

Mockups are visual guides. Printed colours, scale and placement may vary from screen previews because of garment construction and production processes. This does not limit any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.

Changes requested after approval may require further work or additional costs. LRKN will confirm any additional charges before proceeding.

Launch timing depends on complete submissions, approvals, garment availability and production requirements. Any estimated timing will be communicated during setup.

6. Branded packaging and LRKN promotional inserts

Your approved Custom Merch products are packed using the agreed branded packaging elements for your collection.

You agree that LRKN may also include its own promotional material in each customer order containing your Custom Merch products. This may include an LRKN business card, sticker, promotional card or similar insert advertising LRKN, its store, products or services.

These materials are additional to your agreed collection branding. Their inclusion does not give LRKN ownership of your brand or artwork, or permission to alter your approved garment design.

LRKN determines which of its promotional inserts are included, subject to availability. No additional charge will be made to you, and your agreed Partner Earnings will not be reduced because an LRKN promotional insert is included.

Your collection is fulfilled through LRKN and is not an exclusively white-label fulfilment service. Any request to exclude LRKN promotional inserts must be discussed and agreed in writing before launch.

7. Minimum Retail Prices

LRKN sets a Minimum Retail Price (Displayed most currently on the Custom Printing Merch collection within the LRKN website) for each product to cover the garment, printing, branded packaging, production, fulfilment and associated costs.

You may nominate a higher retail price for approval. Prices and promotions that take a product below its Minimum Retail Price require LRKN’s approval.

Your product-specific Minimum Retail Prices and Base Partner Earnings will be provided privately during onboarding and confirmed before launch.

8. Partner Earnings

Each approved product has an agreed Base Partner Earning.

For each eligible completed sale, your Partner Earning consists of the applicable Base Partner Earning plus 50% of the eligible product selling price above the product’s Minimum Retail Price.

The additional-price split is calculated using the actual eligible product selling price after applicable product discounts, not the original advertised price.

No additional-price earning arises where the eligible product selling price is at or below the Minimum Retail Price.

Any discount arrangement affecting Base Partner Earnings must be agreed before the promotion runs.

Customer shipping charges are excluded from Partner Earnings.

Partner Earnings apply only to your approved Custom Merch products. Unrelated LRKN products purchased in the same order do not automatically generate Custom Merch Partner Earnings.

The inclusion of an LRKN business card, sticker or promotional insert does not itself generate additional Partner Earnings.

Any separate affiliate arrangement is governed by its own terms.

9. Sales tracking and your partner account

LRKN will establish your Partner Earnings account and track eligible sales from your approved collection.

Your account may be managed through GoAffPro or another tracking system selected by LRKN.

The agreed Custom Merch earnings rules govern your earnings. A general affiliate rate or dashboard estimate does not replace those rules.

You do not need to manually report each sale to LRKN.

You must notify LRKN promptly if you believe a sale, earning or setup-balance adjustment is missing or incorrect. LRKN will review the relevant records and explain any correction.

10. Payouts

Partner Earnings become payable once the relevant customer order has been successfully paid and completed, and any applicable cancellation, refund, chargeback or other adjustment has been accounted for.

The payout method and schedule will be advised during onboarding and confirmed before launch.

For Low-Upfront Launch Partners, eligible earnings first recover the outstanding setup balance as described in section 3.

You must provide accurate payment details and any information reasonably required to process payments. Incorrect or incomplete information may delay a payout until it is corrected.

11. Refunds, cancellations and chargebacks

Partner Earnings are only payable on eligible completed sales.

No Partner Earnings are payable on cancelled, fully refunded, fraudulent or successfully charged-back orders.

For partially refunded orders, earnings may be adjusted to reflect the final eligible sale amount.

If earnings have already been credited, applied to your setup balance or paid for an order that is subsequently refunded, reversed or charged back, LRKN may reverse the corresponding credit or deduct the relevant amount from future Partner Earnings.

Any adjustment will be recorded and explained.

12. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for promoting your collection honestly and using accurate product information.

You must not make misleading claims, promise unapproved delivery dates or offers, place fraudulent orders, manipulate earnings tracking, or represent yourself as an employee or authorised spokesperson of LRKN.

Where required, you must clearly disclose your commercial relationship with LRKN when promoting products.

You must keep your contact, business and payment details current and protect your account login information.

13. Customer orders and service

LRKN manages customer order handling, production, branded packing, fulfilment and customer service for products sold through the LRKN-hosted collection.

Customer orders may include LRKN promotional inserts as described in section 6.

Refer customer order enquiries to LRKN. Do not promise refunds, replacements or other remedies on LRKN’s behalf without authorisation.

Nothing in these terms removes or limits customers’ rights under Australian Consumer Law.

14. Tax and GST

You are responsible for your own tax, GST, business registration and reporting obligations relating to payments you receive from LRKN.

You must tell LRKN if you are registered for GST or if your relevant circumstances change, and provide information reasonably required to process your payments correctly.

LRKN does not provide individual tax advice.

15. Changes to prices and earnings

If sourcing, printing, production, packing or fulfilment costs materially change, LRKN may update a product’s Minimum Retail Price or Base Partner Earning.

LRKN will notify affected Partners before changes apply to their collection.

Changes will not retrospectively alter earnings from eligible completed sales made before the change takes effect.

16. Suspension, archiving and ending participation

You may ask LRKN to stop future sales from your collection, only if any outstanding amount owing to LRKN has be recovered. 

LRKN may suspend or remove a collection for a breach of these terms, suspected fraud, an intellectual-property dispute, unlawful content, production issues or prolonged inactivity.

Where practical, LRKN will contact you before archiving an inactive collection.

Ending participation does not cancel customer orders already accepted or remove applicable customer rights. LRKN may continue using the relevant artwork and branding as reasonably necessary to fulfil existing orders and resolve related customer matters.

Eligible earnings already owed remain subject to the normal payout terms and any valid adjustments.

A Low-Upfront setup shortfall does not automatically become a separate invoice because a collection is archived.

LRKN may retain records needed for order handling, accounting, disputes and legal obligations.

17. Privacy

LRKN handles personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable privacy law.

Information you provide may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary for account administration, artwork preparation, production, fulfilment, sales tracking and payments.

You must have permission to share any personal information or images of other people included in your submission.

Including an LRKN promotional insert in an order does not, by itself, constitute customer consent to receive marketing emails or SMS. Any electronic marketing must comply with applicable consent and privacy requirements.

18. No guaranteed sales

LRKN does not guarantee a particular sales volume, income or commercial result.

Your collection’s performance will depend on factors including demand, product selection, pricing and promotion.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights, guarantees or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including those under Australian Consumer Law.

19. Acceptance and collection approval

Agreement to these terms is required before LRKN approves your Merch Partner account and launches your collection.

Your Shopify order confirms your purchased Launch Package. Partner registration does not itself publish your collection.

Before launch, LRKN will confirm your approved products, artwork, retail prices, Base Partner Earnings and payout arrangements with you.

If you do not accept these terms, contact LRKN to discuss your purchased package before further setup work proceeds. Any cancellation or refund will be assessed under the terms disclosed at purchase and your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

These terms do not retrospectively remove rights or change the purchased package without your agreement.

20. Your acknowledgement

By selecting the agreement checkbox and submitting your registration, you confirm:

“I have read and agree to the LRKN Custom Merch Partner Terms and Conditions. I confirm that I am authorised to represent my brand and have permission to use all submitted artwork. I understand that this registration relates to my already-purchased Launch Package and that my partner account and collection require approval before launch. I also agree that customer orders containing my Custom Merch products may include LRKN promotional material, such as a business card, sticker or promotional insert, alongside my agreed collection branding.”⠋
