    First Person is a cognitive performance company building science-backed supplements and functional beverages engineered to maximize immediate cognitive performance while improving brain health over time. It also developed Crystallized Lion's Mane, a proprietary new form of the functional mushroom extract that sets its products apart.

    Its supplement formulations target specific neurotransmitters to sharpen motivation and focus, support mood and stress management, and promote deep, restorative sleep. Crystallized Lion's Mane is more bioavailable, taste-neutral, and completely water-soluble than conventional extracts. That science powers products like Think Fast, the company's flagship functional coffee, shown to increase mental stamina by 79% and processing speed by 40%, and improve reaction time by 29% in QEEG and IVA-2 testing.

    The product line is built to match what your day demands: Think Fast for heightened mental stamina & steady energy, Sunbeam for motivation & focus, Golden Hour for stress-relief and social connection, and Moonlight for restorative sleep. Each formulation is precision-targeted to achieve a specific result, making cognitive performance accessible, effortless, and part of everyday life. And the same R&D that produced Crystallized Lion's Mane and Think Fast is already at work on what's next: new innovations in cognitive performance that, once again, refuse to make people choose between what works and what they actually want to consume.

    First Person is a NEXTY Award winner for Best New Supplement (2023) and has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, Self, W Magazine, Hypebae, The Quality Edit, and Trendhunter.


    FIRST PERSON AFFILIATE PROGRAM

    TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (ā€œTermsā€) govern participation in the First Person Affiliate Program (the ā€œProgramā€), operated byĀ [Full legal name of First Person entity], doing business as First Person (ā€œFirst Person,ā€ ā€œwe,ā€ ā€œus,ā€ or ā€œourā€).

    By submitting an application, accessing the affiliate portal, accepting an offer through Refersion, using an affiliate link or promotional code, or otherwise participating in the Program, you (ā€œAffiliate,ā€ ā€œyou,ā€ or ā€œyourā€) agree to these Terms.

    These Terms form a binding agreement between you and First Person. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not participate in the Program.

    1. Program Overview

    The Program allows approved affiliates to promote eligible First Person products using authorized referral links, promotional codes, creative materials and other promotional methods approved by First Person.

    Subject to these Terms, an Affiliate may earn a commission on qualifying purchases that are properly tracked and attributed to the Affiliate through Refersion or another tracking method designated by First Person.

    Participation in the Program does not guarantee commissions, free products, paid collaborations, minimum earnings, exclusivity or any particular level of support or exposure.

    2. Eligibility

    To participate in the Program, you must:

    1. Be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement;
    2. Provide accurate, complete and current application information;
    3. Maintain an active website, social-media account, newsletter, podcast, channel, professional practice or other promotional property acceptable to First Person;
    4. Have the authority to enter into these Terms and conduct the promotional activities you propose;
    5. Comply with all applicable laws, regulations, platform rules and advertising requirements;
    6. Be located in a country approved by First Person;
    7. Maintain valid payment and tax information; and
    8. Not be an employee of First Person unless expressly approved in writing for testing or another limited purpose.

    First Person may accept or reject any application in its sole discretion. Approval may be based on factors including audience relevance, content quality, engagement, reputation, promotional methods, geography, brand alignment and compliance risk.

    Previous approval does not create a right to continued participation.

    3. Account and Application Information

    You must provide truthful, accurate and complete information when applying to or participating in the Program.

    You must promptly update any information that changes, including:

    • Your name or business name;
    • Contact information;
    • Website and social-media properties;
    • Payment details;
    • Tax information;
    • Promotional methods; and
    • Ownership or control of your business or promotional properties.

    You may maintain only one Program account unless First Person approves additional accounts in writing.

    You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your login credentials and for all activity conducted through your account.

    You must notify First Person promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account or misuse of your referral links or promotional codes.

    4. Acceptance and Continued Participation

    Approval into the Program is conditional and revocable.

    First Person may periodically review your:

    • Promotional content;
    • Audience and traffic sources;
    • Compliance with these Terms;
    • Sales quality;
    • Refund and chargeback rates;
    • Use of trademarks;
    • Advertising disclosures;
    • Product claims; and
    • Overall brand alignment.

    First Person may place your account under review, suspend tracking, hold commissions, change your offer, restrict your promotional methods or terminate your participation when reasonably necessary to protect the Program, First Person or its customers.

    5. Affiliate Offers and Commission Rates

    Your applicable commission rate will be shown in the offer assigned to you through Refersion or communicated to you in writing.

    Unless First Person provides otherwise in your assigned offer, the standard Program commission is:

    Twenty percent (20%) of eligible net product revenue from a Qualifying Purchase.

    First Person may establish different offers, rates, tiers, bonuses or incentives for different Affiliates, products, campaigns, customer types, sales volumes or promotional methods.

    Examples may include:

    • Performance-based commission tiers;
    • Flat-rate commissions;
    • Product-specific commissions;
    • New-customer bonuses;
    • Subscription-acquisition bonuses;
    • Limited-time campaign bonuses; and
    • Custom strategic-partner arrangements.

    The fact that another Affiliate receives a different rate or incentive does not entitle you to the same arrangement.

    First Person may modify prospective commission rates or offer terms by updating your Refersion offer or providing written notice. Changes will apply to qualifying transactions occurring after the effective date of the change unless otherwise stated.

    6. Qualifying Purchases

    A ā€œQualifying Purchaseā€ is a completed purchase that:

    1. Is made through an authorized First Person sales channel;
    2. Is properly tracked and attributed to you through an authorized affiliate link, promotional code or other approved tracking method;
    3. Complies with these Terms;
    4. Is paid in full;
    5. Is not cancelled, returned, refunded, charged back or determined to be fraudulent;
    6. Is not a self-referral or other ineligible transaction;
    7. Is not generated through prohibited promotional activity; and
    8. Satisfies any additional requirements shown in your assigned offer.

    First Person’s records and the data recorded through Refersion or First Person’s ecommerce systems will control in determining whether a purchase qualifies, subject to correction of clear technical or administrative errors.

    7. Eligible Commission Base

    Unless your assigned offer states otherwise, commissions are calculated on eligible net product revenue actually received by First Person.

    The commission base excludes:

    • Taxes;
    • Shipping and handling;
    • Duties and customs fees;
    • Tips;
    • Gift wrapping;
    • Gift-card purchases;
    • Store credit;
    • Refunds;
    • Returns;
    • Chargebacks;
    • Cancelled orders;
    • Fraudulent transactions;
    • Discounts funded by First Person;
    • Free products;
    • Samples;
    • Replacement orders;
    • Wholesale orders;
    • Employee orders;
    • Test orders; and
    • Any other amount First Person identifies as noncommissionable in the applicable offer.

    When a discount is applied, commission will generally be calculated on the discounted eligible product subtotal rather than the product’s undiscounted retail price.

    8. New and Existing Customers

    Unless otherwise stated in your assigned offer, the Program is intended primarily to acquire new First Person customers.

    First Person may:

    • Pay commissions only on new-customer purchases;
    • Pay different rates for new and existing customers;
    • Exclude existing-customer transactions;
    • Limit commissions to a customer’s first purchase; or
    • Establish product- or campaign-specific customer eligibility rules.

    First Person’s customer records will determine whether a purchaser is considered a new or existing customer.

    Attempts to disguise an existing customer as a new customer, including use of alternate email addresses, identities, accounts or payment methods, are prohibited.

    9. Subscription Orders

    Unless your assigned offer expressly states otherwise:

    1. Commission may be earned on the customer’s initial qualifying subscription order;
    2. Subscription renewals, recurring shipments, rebills and subsequent subscription charges are not commissionable;
    3. Changes to, or reactivation of, an existing subscription do not create a new Qualifying Purchase; and
    4. First Person may reverse a commission if the initial subscription order is refunded, cancelled, charged back or otherwise becomes ineligible.

    First Person may introduce recurring commissions or subscription bonuses for selected Affiliates or campaigns at its discretion.

    10. Tracking and Attribution

    The Program uses Refersion and related ecommerce technologies to track Affiliate referrals and calculate commissions.

    Approved tracking methods may include:

    • Referral links;
    • Deep links;
    • Promotional or coupon codes;
    • Shareable discount links;
    • Approved email attribution;
    • Approved SKU-based attribution; and
    • Other tracking methods made available by First Person.

    You must use only links, codes and tracking methods assigned or approved by First Person.

    10.1 Tracking Window

    Unless your assigned offer states otherwise, the standard referral tracking window isĀ thirty (30) daysĀ from the applicable tracked referral.

    Tracking may depend on cookies, browser settings, device settings, customer behavior and third-party technologies. First Person does not guarantee that every referral will be tracked.

    10.2 Attribution Conflicts

    When more than one Affiliate or marketing channel is associated with a transaction, credit will be assigned according to the attribution rules configured in Refersion, First Person’s ecommerce platform and First Person’s internal policies.

    Relevant considerations may include:

    • The most recent eligible referral;
    • The promotional code entered at checkout;
    • Existing tracking cookies;
    • Prior customer activity;
    • Paid advertising attribution;
    • Email or SMS attribution;
    • Fraud-prevention rules; and
    • Refersion deduplication logic.

    First Person has final authority to resolve attribution disputes.

    10.3 Missing Transactions

    Requests for review of an allegedly missing transaction must be submitted withinĀ thirty (30) daysĀ after the order date and must include reasonably sufficient documentation.

    First Person is not required to provide credit when:

    • Tracking was blocked or deleted;
    • The customer did not use an approved link or code;
    • Another Affiliate or channel properly received attribution;
    • The transaction cannot be verified;
    • The customer was already attributed before the Affiliate’s promotion;
    • The claim is submitted after the review period; or
    • The purchase otherwise fails to qualify.

    Affiliates may not tell customers that commission credit is guaranteed.

    11. Commission Review and Approval

    All reported commissions are pending until reviewed and approved by First Person.

    Unless otherwise stated, First Person may hold commissions for at leastĀ thirty (30) daysĀ after the applicable order date to account for:

    • Returns;
    • Refunds;
    • Cancellations;
    • Chargebacks;
    • Fraud;
    • Payment failure;
    • Customer disputes;
    • Tracking errors; and
    • Violations of these Terms.

    A commission shown as pending in Refersion is not earned, vested or payable until approved.

    First Person may extend the review period when reasonably necessary to investigate suspicious transactions, unusual traffic, customer complaints, technical issues or potential violations.

    12. Payment

    Approved commissions will generally be processed monthly through Refersion Unified Payments or another payment method selected by First Person.

    Unless otherwise stated:

    • The minimum payout threshold isĀ fifty U.S. dollars ($50);
    • Balances below the threshold may roll forward to a subsequent payment period;

    • Payment timing may be affected by weekends, holidays, banking systems, third-party payment providers and compliance reviews; and
    • Affiliates are responsible for any fees charged to them by payment processors, banks, currency-conversion services or withdrawal providers.

    First Person may change payment methods or schedules upon notice.

    First Person is not responsible for payment delays caused by:

    • Incorrect Affiliate information;
    • Failure to complete payment onboarding;
    • Failure to provide tax documentation;
    • Payment-provider restrictions;
    • Sanctions or legal restrictions;
    • Bank rejection;

    • Determining and satisfying your tax obligations;
    • Reporting income earned through the Program;
    • Paying applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes;
    • Providing requested tax forms and identification information; and
    • Maintaining legally required business registrations.

    First Person may withhold payments when required by law or when necessary tax documentation has not been provided.

    Participation in the Program does not create an employment relationship, and First Person will not withhold payroll taxes, provide employee benefits or make unemployment or workers’ compensation contributions on your behalf.

    14. Refunds, Returns, Chargebacks and Reversals

    First Person may reject, withhold or reverse commissions associated with:

    • Returned products;

    10. Cooperate with reasonable compliance reviews.

    You may express your honest opinions, but your statements must reflect your genuine experience and may not be misleading.

    Receiving a product, commission or other benefit does not require you to provide a positive review. It does require you to disclose the relationship and describe your experience truthfully.

    17. FTC and Advertising Disclosures

    A material relationship includes receiving or potentially receiving:

    • Discounts;
    • Gifts;

    Disclosures must:

    1. Be easy to notice and understand;
    2. Appear with the endorsement;
    3. Be placed before or near the promotional claim or link;
    4. Be presented in the same language as the endorsement;
    5. Not be hidden in a profile, terms page or group of hashtags;
    6. Not require a consumer to click ā€œmoreā€ to find the disclosure where reasonably avoidable;

    • ā€œSponsored by First Personā€

    • ā€œI earn a commission if you purchase through my link.ā€
    • ā€œI received this product for free and may earn a commission from purchases.ā€

    Vague or ambiguous terms may be insufficient when used alone, including:

    • ā€œAmbassadorā€
    • ā€œPartnerā€
    • ā€œCollabā€
    • ā€œThanks First Personā€
    • ā€œAffiliate linkā€

    First Person may require specific disclosure language for a campaign.

    18. Product and Health Claims

    First Person markets products in categories subject to heightened advertising and regulatory scrutiny.

    • Their disclosures;
    • Their promotional methods;
    • Their claims;

    • Providing information about them upon request.

    First Person may require removal of any sub-affiliate or placement.

    36. Product Samples and Gifts

    Approval into the Program does not guarantee free product.

    First Person may provide samples or gifts based on criteria including audience relevance, content quality, prior performance, product familiarity and campaign needs.

    Unless otherwise agreed:

    • Samples may not be resold;

    FIRST PERSON DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, ACCURACY AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FIRST PERSON AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PROGRAM.

    These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if First Person was advised that damages were possible.

    Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

    49. Indemnification

    You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless First Person and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to:

    You may not settle a claim in a manner that imposes liability, admission or obligation on First Person without First Person’s written consent.

    50. Dispute Resolution

    Before initiating formal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute by written notice and informal discussion for at least thirty (30) days.

    Notices of dispute must describe:

    • The nature of the dispute;
    • Relevant facts;

    Legal counsel should select one of the following approaches before publication:

    Option A: Courts

    Any legal action arising from these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located inĀ [County, State], and each party consents to their jurisdiction and venue.

    Option B: Binding Arbitration

    Any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered byĀ [AAA/JAMS]Ā under its applicable commercial rules, inĀ [County, State].

    The parties waive trial by jury and, to the extent permitted by law, participation in a class, consolidated or representative action.

    Nothing prevents either party from seeking temporary or injunctive relief regarding intellectual property, confidential information, fraud, data security or unauthorized use of trademarks.

    Delete the unused option following legal review.

    Any prohibited assignment is void.

    54. Force Majeure

    First Person will not be liable for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disruptions, transportation interruptions, internet or utility failures, platform outages, cyberattacks, government action, epidemics, supply shortages or third-party service failures.

    55. Waiver and Severability

    Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

    If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

    56. Entire Agreement

    These Terms, your assigned Refersion offer, applicable campaign briefs, approved written exceptions and any separate agreement signed by First Person constitute the entire agreement concerning your participation in the Program.

    9. Affiliate Referral Tracking
