Version 2.0 · 30 October 2026 · These terms govern your place in the Stimz Stimfluencer programme.
Welcome to the Stimfluencer programme. These terms are the agreement between you and us. They cover how we count your sales, what you earn, when we pay it, and the rules you have to follow when you post about us. Please read them before you accept. If you do not accept them, you cannot take part.
The programme is run by Flexi Fidgets Co. Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15982398, whose registered office is at 43 Dollywaggon Way, Bamber Bridge, Preston PR5 6EW, trading as Stimz. In these terms "we", "us" and "our" mean that company, and "you" and "your" mean the person accepting these terms.
You can reach us at stimfluencer@stimz.com.
Every Stimfluencer account is held by someone aged 18 or over. That person is who this agreement is with, who we pay, and who is responsible for everything done under the account. By accepting these terms you confirm you are 18 or over.
If the person making the content is under 18, the account is held by their parent or guardian, in that adult's own name. The adult accepts these terms, controls the account and receives any commission or rewards. This applies at every age under 18: a 16 or 17 year old can be the person who makes the content, with their parent or guardian holding the account.
This is the structure we have chosen for this programme, and we apply it to everyone. It is not a statement about what someone under 18 can do in general. It keeps one adult responsible for the account, the payments, the labelling rules and any tax, and it matches how our payment provider works, which requires a parent or guardian to own a payout account where the person is under 18.
By accepting these terms, where someone under 18 appears in your content, you also confirm that you hold parental responsibility for them. If we find that an account is really held by someone under 18, or by an adult without parental responsibility for a child appearing in the content, we will close it and stop any payment.
Whether your child appears is a decision for you and your child, appropriate to their age and understanding. Stimz never requires a child to appear. Your child must be happy to take part each time and must always be free to stop.
Some of our Stimfluencers are parents whose children use our products. You can take part fully without your child ever appearing: you can make content yourself, and you can simply tell us how things went.
There may be a licence or permit to get, and checking is your responsibility. In the UK, local councils license children taking part in performances and in paid modelling, and issue permits for some kinds of work by children. Whether anything is needed in your circumstances depends on what the content is, how old your child is and where you live, and the rules are not always obvious from reading them. If you are not sure, contact your local council before you post. It costs nothing to ask. If we ask you to confirm you have whatever is needed, tell us the truth.
Every post you add in your portal asks whether anyone under 18 appears in it. If someone does, we ask how old the youngest is and for three confirmations: that you have parental responsibility, that the child was happy to take part and knew they could stop, and that you have checked whether a licence or permit is needed and have one if it is. We then ask, separately, whether we may repost that post. Saying no is a free choice that changes nothing else, and you can change your answer on any post at any time. We record each answer and when you gave it. We ask because it changes what we will do with the content, and because we would rather know than find out.
No content featuring a child will be used in paid advertising without a separate agreement with you and our own checks first. Section 15.1 already rules out paid advertising without separate agreement for everyone; where a child is in the content we are more careful still.
We may decline to accept, use or repost content involving a child if we have any safeguarding or licensing concern, and we may ask you to take a piece of content down or pause your account while we look at it. We would rather have that conversation than not.
Campaigns involving a child sit outside this programme. If we ever wanted a child to appear in something specific — giving them a role, a script or a deliverable, or rewarding their appearance — that would not be part of ordinary Stimfluencer participation. It would be considered separately before anything went ahead, and it would never be offered through the programme itself.
Tell us the truth when you sign up, and keep your details current. That includes your name, your email address, your social media handles and your payment details. If any of them change, update them in your Stimfluencer portal. We will use the details you give us to attribute your sales and pay you, so wrong details usually mean wrong or missing money.
You may hold one Stimfluencer account. If you run more than one, we may close all of them and withhold anything unpaid.
We can accept or refuse any application, and we do not have to give a reason. Being refused does not mean you have done anything wrong.
Our employees and directors, and members of their immediate households, cannot earn commission through the programme.
You are self-employed and independent. You are not our employee, our worker, our agent or our partner, and nothing in these terms makes you any of those things. Specifically:
If we ever agree a paid campaign with you, with a brief and deliverables, that will be a separate written agreement on its own terms. It will not change the nature of this one.
We would rather explain this properly than have you find out from a dispute. Here is exactly how a sale gets counted as yours.
When an order comes in, we check these in order and use the first one that matches:
A code beats a link. Typing a code at checkout is the customer choosing who they bought through, so if an order uses your code it is yours, whatever links they clicked beforehand. A link only decides an order that used no Stimfluencer code.
Our records of clicks, codes and orders are what we use to work out attribution and commission. If you think something has gone wrong, tell us within 60 days of the order and we will look into it properly and show you what we hold. We are not able to reconstruct attribution from evidence outside our own system.
You earn a percentage of the revenue on orders attributed to you. Your current percentage is shown in your portal.
We apply it to the value of the products in the order, after every discount has come off, excluding VAT and excluding delivery. Nothing else in the order counts.
Prices on the shop are shown with VAT already in them, so VAT has to come out before your share is worked out. We do that line by line, using the VAT actually charged on each product in that order, not an average across the basket.
That matters because a lot of what we sell goes out under VAT relief for disabled people, under Group 12 of Schedule 8 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994. Where a customer claims it, no VAT is due on that product, so nothing is taken off for VAT and the whole amount they paid for it counts towards your share. A standard rated product in the same basket has its 20% removed as usual. You are never worse off because of which products someone chose, or because they were entitled to relief.
One thing worth saying plainly, because it looks confusing on a receipt: our shop applies VAT relief by taking the VAT off at checkout, so it appears on the order as a reduction of about 16.67%. That reduction is not treated as a discount against your share. It is the VAT coming off, and we only ever take the VAT off once.
Delivery never counts, whether the customer paid for it or we gave it away.
A worked example. Someone buys two things using your link:
| Line | They pay | VAT | Counts towards your share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard rated product | £24.00 | £4.00 | £20.00 |
| Product on VAT relief | £30.00 | £0.00 | £30.00 |
| Delivery | £3.99 | — | £0.00 |
| Total | £57.99 | £4.00 | £50.00 |
At an example share of 10%, you would earn £5.00 on that order. (The 10% is only for illustration. Your actual share is the one shown in your portal.)
Now the same basket during a 10% sale of ours, which takes £5.40 off the standard rated product. The discount comes off first, so the VAT falls to £3.10 and the amount that counts is £54.00 − £5.40 − £3.10 = £45.50. At the same example share, you would earn £4.55.
Discounts include your own follower code, your personal code, and any sale or promotion we happen to be running that the customer also used. Where a discount stacks with ours, your share is calculated on the smaller amount that results.
Every order in your portal shows this breakdown, so you can check any of it: what the products came to, what came off as discount, what came off as VAT, what delivery was, and the figure your share was actually calculated on. VAT relief appears under VAT, as explained above, so an order on relief looks the same as any other and a customer's entitlement is never shown to you.
Everyone starts on the standard rate. We may operate levels that move your percentage up automatically as your figures grow, using measures such as revenue, orders, followers, posts and views. You sit on the best level whose minimums you meet. If your figures fall, you move back down. The current levels and their minimums are shown in your portal.
Measures can count over a recent period rather than all time, such as the last 30 or 90 days. Where they do, a level depends on staying active: if you have not posted in that period and your level asks for a post, you move down. The period for each measure is shown in your portal next to what your level asks for. Moving down only ever affects orders placed afterwards (see 5.4).
We can also set a rate for you by hand, and where we have, it overrides the levels. Level movement is automatic, but a person here can review and change any rate. If you think your level is wrong, ask us and a person will look at it.
The percentage that applies to an order is the one in force when that order is placed, and it is stored against that order. Moving up a level later does not increase what you earn on past orders. Moving down does not reduce it either. Your history is never rewritten.
We may change the standard rate, any rate we have set for you personally, the levels, and what each level asks for, including its measures, minimums and periods. We may also add or remove levels. We can do this at any time and for any reason, and we do not have to give one.
We will email you at least 14 days before a change takes effect. Changes only ever apply to orders placed after they take effect, so what you have already earned is never reduced (see 5.4). If you would rather not carry on under the new figures, you can leave under 18.1.
If you stop posting, genuine orders that still come to us through your existing links and codes continue to count and continue to earn, on the normal rules, for as long as your place in the programme continues. Going quiet does not cancel commission on real sales your earlier content produced.
Over time, inactivity may affect other things: your level, gifting, perks, or your place in the programme. If we ever end a place for inactivity, we will do it under section 18.2, and you keep everything you have properly earned.
We keep a leaderboard of Stimfluencers, scored on sales through your link and codes, the views on the posts you add to your portal, and the likes and comments on them. Customer reviews play no part in it. It is there so we can spot and recognise great work. It is not published, and other Stimfluencers do not see where you are on it.
You can create a discount code that gives your followers a percentage off, funded out of your own revenue share. You choose how much to give away, and your share is reduced by that amount on the orders that use the code. You can set a usage limit and an expiry.
Orders that do not use the code are unaffected. Someone buying through your link, or with your standing personal code, still earns your normal share while your follower code is running. The reduced rate applies to that code and nothing else, and once the code runs out or expires it stops applying at all.
Commission on an order becomes payable 28 days after the order is placed. Until then it shows in your portal as "still clearing" and it cannot be paid out.
That wait covers picking, dispatch, delivery, and the period in which a customer can change their mind, return the goods or cancel. It exists so that we are not paying commission on sales that are about to come back. It is not a delay in paying you what you are owed; it is the point at which you become owed it.
We may change this period on 14 days' notice. Any change applies to orders placed after it takes effect.
All rates and amounts are stated excluding VAT. Our own VAT number is 494303485. If you are VAT registered, tell us and give us your VAT number, and we will pay the commission plus VAT at the applicable rate. If you are not VAT registered, no VAT is payable and the commission is the whole amount. Tell us within 14 days if you register for VAT, deregister, or your number changes. If we pay the wrong amount because you did not tell us, you will need to put it right.
Instead of waiting for a payment, you can swap some or all of your cleared balance for store credit to spend on stimz.com. When you do, we add a bonus on top. Your portal shows the bonus and the exact amount of credit before you confirm. At 20%, for example, £10 of commission becomes £12 of credit.
Commission is earned on sales that stick.
Where an order changes after we have already paid you, we will set the difference off against your next payment. If there is no further payment to set it against, the amount is repayable to us on request. We will always show you which orders an adjustment relates to.
Adjustments come to us automatically from our shop, so they are applied whether or not the order had already cleared. We also check recent orders against our shop every night, so a refund or cancellation still counts even if the shop's message about it never reached us.
A post about us that is connected to this programme is an advert in law, and it must say so, clearly, at the start. Section 9.3 sets out exactly when a post counts. While you are in the programme with a live link or code, that is nearly every post you make about us. This is the rule we enforce most strictly, because when you get it wrong the regulator names both of us.
None of these are enough on their own, and using them instead of "Ad" is a breach of these terms:
Label any post about us where any of these is true, whether or not that particular post carries your link or code:
In practice, while you are in this programme and have a live link, that is nearly every post you make about us. If you are weighing up whether a particular one counts, label it. Nobody has ever been in trouble for labelling something that turned out not to need it.
This does not reach back over your whole life. A post you made about us before you joined, and an unprompted mention with nothing attached to it once you have left, are not adverts because you are on this list.
We monitor content that mentions us. If we see something unlabelled or wrongly labelled we will ask you to fix it, and you must do so promptly. We are required to do this and we are not able to let it slide. Repeatedly failing to label your posts will end your place in the programme, and we may withhold commission on the posts concerned.
Never say or suggest that our products treat, help, manage, relieve or improve ADHD, autism, anxiety, stress, depression, sensory processing disorder, or any other medical or psychological condition. Not in a caption, not on screen, not out loud, not in a comment, not in a reply to a follower.
We know this feels counter-intuitive for products used by neurodivergent people, so here is the reason. What is claimed for a product is part of what decides how it is regulated, and a claim that something treats or relieves a condition can put it in a category we are not registered to sell in. Health claims of that kind also have to be substantiated to advertise them, and ours are not, because our products are sensory tools rather than treatments. Because you are promoting us, what you say lands on us as well as on you.
None of that is a comment on your own experience. If a Stimz product genuinely helps you, say so in your own words, about you. What you cannot do is turn that into a claim about what the product does to a condition.
Talk about how a product feels, what you do with it and why you like it. Do not talk about what it does to a condition.
Do not overstate what a product does, invent facts about it, misdescribe the price or what is included, or present a paid placement as an independent review.
We will never offer you anything for leaving a review, and you should refuse if anyone ever does. Not commission, not credit, not product, not entry into a draw.
There is a real difference between the two things and it matters more than it sounds:
So: you are welcome to review our products as a customer, and we would like you to. But if you were sent the product, or you are in this programme and could earn from it, say so in the review itself. And we will not pay you, credit you or reward you for writing one, whatever it says.
Feedback you give us privately — in a testing round, by email, in a form — is a different thing again. It is for us, it is not published as a review, and we would much rather have it honest than flattering.
Many of our customers are children, and many are neurodivergent. That places extra obligations on both of us.
You are very welcome to buy our products. You just do not earn commission on your own purchases. Orders placed using your own email address are automatically flagged and excluded. Deliberately using a different email address to earn commission on your own orders is fraud, and we will close your account and withhold everything unpaid.
You can use your own codes. Using one of your follower codes or your personal code on an order of your own is fine. The order still earns no commission, as above.
Big discounts are for your audience. Follower codes are there to give your audience a reason to buy. If we reasonably suspect that a code with a high discount is being used mainly for your own orders or for your family or friends, rather than for your audience, we may do any of these:
We will tell you what we have done and why. If you think we have got it wrong, reply and show us, and we will look at it again.
Do not force clicks, load links invisibly, embed our pages in frames, use bots or automated traffic, or do anything else designed to attach your code to visits you did not genuinely generate.
Do not bid on "Stimz", our product names, or misspellings and variations of them, in Google Ads or any other paid search, without our written permission. Do not register domains or accounts that could be mistaken for ours.
Do not send unsolicited email, texts or direct messages promoting us. Do not use bought or scraped contact lists. If you email your own list, it must be a list that has properly consented to hear from you. We can be held responsible for spam sent on our behalf, so this one matters to us.
Do not post your codes or links to coupon sites, deal forums, cashback sites, voucher aggregators or browser extensions.
Do not post anything about us that is illegal, hateful, discriminatory, defamatory, obscene, or that would sit badly next to a children's product. Do not use our products in a way that would be unsafe to copy.
Anything you learn about our customers through the programme stays confidential and is not yours to use, keep, sell or market to.
We may send you products, either to use and talk about or to try and tell us what you think. If we do:
Some of what we send is for testing, sometimes before it goes on sale. When we ask for feedback we mean it, and we want the unflattering kind: too loud, too rough, too small, fell apart, my child would not go near it, this is not for us. That is the feedback that changes a product before it ships, and it is worth more to us than praise.
So, plainly: nothing you earn, and nothing about your place in this programme, depends on your feedback being positive. We will never reduce someone's share, withhold product or drop them because they told us something we did not want to hear. If you ever feel otherwise, say so and we will look at why.
Testing feedback is private unless you say otherwise — it is for our product team, not for publishing. If we would like to quote you, we will ask first.
Anything we send for testing is still a product we sent you, so the tax point above applies to it in the same way.
Most of what we send to parents is really for their child to use. That is exactly how we want it to work: your child uses the product the way they normally would, and you tell us what happened. What they reached for, what they ignored, what helped, what annoyed them, what broke.
The feedback is yours, as the account holder. We are not asking your child to do anything for us: not to perform, present, review or appear anywhere. Nothing in this programme needs your child to be filmed or photographed, and a parent who only ever sends us written notes is doing exactly what we asked.
Whether your child appears in your own posts is a decision for you and your child, and section 2.2 sets out what comes with it.
You are responsible for your own tax. We deduct nothing for tax: the only thing that comes off a payment is Stripe's fee under 7.2.
General information is at gov.uk/set-up-sole-trader and gov.uk/self-assessment-tax-returns. Nothing we say is tax advice. If you are unsure, speak to HMRC or an accountant.
You keep ownership of everything you make. By posting content that promotes us, you give us permission to reshare and repost it on our own social channels, our website and our emails, crediting you, for as long as you are in the programme and for 12 months afterwards. This permission comes as part of the arrangement and no separate fee is paid for it.
It does not cover paid advertising. We will never put your content into an advert we pay to run without asking you first, separately, for that specific use, and agreeing with you anything we pay for it. You are free to say no, and saying no changes nothing else about your place in the programme.
Posts with a child in them are different. We only repost a post in which someone under 18 appears if you have said yes for that specific post (see 2.2). If you withdraw that yes, we take it down from our website straight away and from our own channels as soon as we can.
If you would rather we did not use a particular post, tell us and we will take it down.
Flexi Fidgets®, Stimz®, Spikz®, TextureClick® and Fidgeez® are our registered trade marks, and all our names and logos belong to us. We give you permission to use our name, logo and product images to promote us, in the way our brand guidelines describe. That permission can be withdrawn, and it ends when your place in the programme ends. At that point, please stop using our branding and take down or clearly de-link your promotional posts.
We hold information about you in order to run the programme, including information we collect about your public social media accounts. How we handle it, why, and what rights you have is set out in our Stimfluencer Privacy Notice, which forms part of these terms.
You and we are each independently responsible for our own compliance with data protection law. You are responsible for the personal data of your own audience. We are responsible for the data we hold about you and about our customers.
Your rate, your levels, your figures and anything else we share with you that is not public stays between us. This continues after you leave the programme.
Email us and we will close your account. We will pay you any cleared balance in the normal way, and anything still clearing will be paid once it clears, provided the underlying orders stick.
We can end your place at any time, with immediate effect, for any reason, and we do not have to give one. That includes deciding that you, your content or your channel are no longer the right fit for the Stimz brand, changing the direction of the programme, or making it smaller. We will tell you by email when we do. You keep all the commission you have properly earned up to that point, paid on the normal rules (see 18.4), unless 18.3 applies.
We can suspend your place while we look into something, or end it, if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms. That includes the labelling rules in section 9, the claims rules in section 10, the rules about children in section 11, and the prohibited conduct in section 12. Where the breach involves fraud or deliberate manipulation of tracking, or commission came from content that broke sections 9 to 12, we may withhold the unpaid commission connected to it. We will tell you what we have withheld and why. Commission that has nothing to do with the breach is still paid.
Orders placed before your place ended are paid on the normal rules. Orders placed after it do not count to you, whether they come through your link or your codes, and we switch off your follower codes.
Stop using our branding, and take down or de-link your promotional content. Sections 8, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21 and 22 continue to apply.
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will email you at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you carry on in the programme after that, you have accepted the change. If you would rather not, you can leave under 18.1 and we will pay what you have earned.
Changes to rates, levels, the clearing period, the payment minimum and the payout fee follow the same notice period, except that a change Stripe makes to its own charges may be passed on from when it applies to us, and we will tell you as soon as we can. Rates and levels are covered by section 5.5 and the clearing period by section 7.1. The figures that apply to you at any time are the ones shown in your portal.
We do not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.
Subject to that:
If we suffer a loss, a fine, or a claim because of something you did or failed to do, in breach of these terms, you agree to cover it. This applies particularly to the advertising rules in sections 9 to 11, where a regulator can impose penalties on us for content posted by you.
This is not us looking for a reason to come after you. It is the counterpart of us carrying the legal responsibility for your posts, and it will only ever be used where the breach was serious and the loss was real.
