CREATOR PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Free product samples • 10% OFF for your audience • Affiliate commissions up to 25%

Welcome to the Mr. Mushroom creator community! As a creator, you get free samples, a 10% OFF code for your followers, and up to 25% commission on your sales. See Program at a Glance on page 3 for a quick overview.

🎬 1. VIDEO REQUIREMENTS

Please try to post at least one video within 14 days after your samples arrive. If you need more time, just send us a quick email and let us know. A qualifying video is a video that follows all five rules below.

• Show the product: Make sure the Mr. Mushroom bag or package is easy to see.
• Really taste it: Eat the chips on camera.
• Share what you think: Share an honest thought about the taste, texture, crunch, or flavor.
• Add a way to buy: Include a working product link or the shopping link we agreed on.
• Make it about the product: Focus on the product. Don’t just show the bag for a second.

Please disclose that you received free products and earn commission, following FTC rules and TikTok policies. A tag like #gifted or #ad is a simple way to do this. Don’t make false claims, and don’t make health claims you can’t prove. Your honest opinion is welcome.

🎁 2. SAMPLE POLICY

We pay shipping for approved samples. Email us to get more samples. Reaching a sales goal makes you eligible, but extra samples aren’t automatic.

• First sale: If your qualifying video gets at least one eligible sale within 30 days after you post it, you can ask for 1 bonus bag. You can only get this once.
• No sales in the first 30 days: If your qualifying video gets no eligible sales within 30 days after you post it, you can email us to ask for one exception. Briefly tell us how the video did. We decide whether to approve it.
• $200+ in eligible sales per 30-day period: After you use your first bonus, you can ask for 1 more bag in any 30-day period where you reach $200 in eligible sales.
• $400+ in eligible sales per 30-day period: You can ask for a four-flavor sample set (1 bag of each flavor, 4 bags total) for taste tests, flavor comparisons, or rankings. You get this instead of the 1 bag, not in addition to it.
• One sample shipment per 30-day period: You can get only one extra sample shipment in each 30-day period. The first-sale bonus counts as that one shipment. It is not an extra shipment. If you qualify for more than one sample reward in the same period, you can use only one. All shipments need our approval and depend on what we have in stock.

You can use either the first-sale bonus or the no-sale exception, but not both. You can send a request as soon as you reach a sales goal. You don’t have to wait for the period to end. If a flavor you want is sold out, we will let you know and help you choose another option.

🔗 3. DISCOUNT CODE & SALES TRACKING

• Your personal code gives your followers 10% OFF for 30 days. The 30 days start on the day you post your first qualifying video. Please email us when your video goes live so we can start tracking.
• Your first 30-day sales period also starts that day. When one period ends, the next 30-day period begins. We keep track of your periods and sales for you.
• If you make $400 or more in eligible sales in any 30-day period, you can email us to ask for 30 more days on your code. You can ask again in every period where you reach $400. We must approve each extension. It does not happen automatically.
• Eligible sales are sales credited to you, after discounts, not counting tax or shipping. Canceled or refunded orders usually don’t count. If an order is refunded because of a problem on our side, we will review it fairly. We won’t automatically remove it from your sales when we check your sample rewards or code extensions.
• See Section 4 to learn how we figure out and pay your commission.

💸 4. AFFILIATE COMMISSION TIERS

Your commission rate depends on your eligible sales (also called GMV) in each 30-day period. Your first period starts the day you post your first qualifying video. The more you sell, the more you earn!

• At the end of each 30-day period, we add up your eligible sales to find your tier. That tier’s rate applies to all of your eligible sales in that period.
• The order numbers in the table are estimates based on 4-pack orders. Real order numbers will change with bundle size and order value. Your tier is based on sales dollars, not the number of orders.
• Section 3 explains what counts as eligible sales.
• Commission payouts: We pay commission only on eligible orders that were not refunded. NEXGEAR, LLC pays you through PayPal Business or Venmo Business (Goods & Services). We pay you 22 to 28 days after each period ends. This gives time for delivery and our 14-day return period, so we only pay on final orders. PayPal or Venmo fees are taken out of each payment.
• You are responsible for reporting this income on your taxes.

🎥 5. CONTENT USAGE RIGHTS

You own the videos you make. If you agree to our content-use terms, we will confirm this with you in a separate email. Then, Mr. Mushroom can repost your video on our own social media pages and website for 6 months after you post it. We will not pay to promote these reposts. We may make small edits, like trimming, cropping, resizing, or adding captions or our brand name or logo. These edits will not change your opinion or your experience with the product.

Using your video in paid ads, such as TikTok Spark Ads, paid boosts, or other paid social ads, needs a separate written agreement. That agreement must include any needed platform permissions and must say how and for how long we can use your video.

You are responsible for making sure any music or other content you didn’t create is allowed for how the video will be used. Music that is OK in a regular TikTok post may not be allowed in paid ads. To keep using your video after the 6 months, we need to renew the agreement, unless we agreed otherwise in writing.

🤝 6. COLLABORATION STANDARDS

We care about real, honest content and long-term partnerships with creators. We may say no to sample requests, pause your code, or stop working together if products are not available, agreed content is not delivered, false or misleading claims are made, fraud happens, or there are other serious problems with the program. When it makes sense, we will give you a chance to fix the problem first.

These guidelines explain how our program works today. They do not promise samples, sales, a certain commission amount, code extensions, or that you can stay in the program. Samples and code extensions still need our approval and depend on what we have in stock. Content-use rights and paid-ad permission need separate agreements when required.
