Shipping Policy
Last updated: October 21, 2026
We ship orders with love from the heart of San Francisco, California! 💌
🕒 Processing Time
Orders placed by 3PM PT Monday through Saturday ship the same day, except on federal US holidays or when we show a different shipping schedule before you order.
Every order is hand-packed by Mama & Papa Lam and delivered to the post office with great care. It's a family tradition we cherish. 🫶
On Sundays and federal US holidays, the post offices are closed so my parents and I get some much needed rest then. 😌
Preorders and delays. If a product is marked as a preorder, the expected ship date is shown on the product page. If we can't ship your order by the date we told you (or within 30 days, if we didn't give you a date), we'll email you before then with a new ship date and the choice to cancel for a full refund. If the new date is no more than 30 days later and you don't cancel, we'll take that as your OK to wait. If the new date is more than 30 days later, or we can't give you a new date, we'll cancel your order and refund you unless you tell us you'd like to wait. If we need to delay your order again, we'll ask you again, and unless you tell us you'd like to keep waiting, we'll cancel your order and refund you.
💸 Shipping Costs
Standard shipping is free for any order with 2 or more products shipping to the United States or Canada. All other orders pay the shipping rate shown at checkout.
📦 Domestic Shipping (United States)
- Most orders arrive within 1 to 5 business days after they ship, depending on your selected shipping method and distance from our headquarters in San Francisco.
- We offer faster options at checkout, including Priority and Express services.
- Tracking information will be emailed to you as soon as your order ships.
🇨🇦 Shipping to Canada
- Shipments to Canada typically arrive within about 11 days, depending on the location, weather, and postal service situation.
🌍 International Shipping
- International orders typically arrive within 1 to 3 weeks, depending on your country's customs processing and local postal services.
- We currently ship to most countries worldwide. If you don't see your country listed at checkout, please reach out to us at hello @ parentsarehuman.com and we'll try our best to accommodate you.
- Customs fees, duties, and taxes (if applicable) are the responsibility of the customer. We do not have control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.
Delivery times are estimates from the carrier, not guarantees.
🚨 Delivery Issues
Why does the tracking status show "Delivered" when it hasn't been?
Unfortunately sometimes this can happen, but most of the time the package was simply placed in an unexpected area at the delivery address. We first recommend asking your recipient to check any other locations the package might be (the front door, back door, mailbox or even a neighbor's house).
Sometimes, it also takes an extra day because some drivers will mark all the packages in an area as delivered even if they don't get to them. Please wait an extra 24 hours and if it still hasn't gotten to you, we'll be more than happy to send you a replacement order!
If your order hasn't arrived within the expected time frame, check your tracking information and reach out to us at hello @ parentsarehuman.com with your order number. We'll do everything we can to make it right.
🛡️ Shipping Protection
Shipping Protection is optional. It's a toggle in your cart, off unless you turn it on, with the price shown next to it.
You don't need it. Missing or damaged orders get a free replacement either way, following the steps on this page.
Without Shipping Protection, your replacement ships by standard ground shipping, which usually takes longer.
With Shipping Protection, for orders shipping to a US address, we ship your replacement via Priority Mail within 1 business day of your message (and photo, for damage). Within the United States, Priority Mail usually arrives within 1 to 3 business days.
Outside the US, Shipping Protection means we send your replacement within 1 business day of your message (and photo, for damage), at no cost to you. It ships by our standard international service, which usually takes 1 to 3 weeks.
Outside the US, replacements ship by our standard international service. International delivery times vary by service, destination, and customs processing.
If a package marked "Delivered" never came, message us after 24 hours.
To start a replacement, email your order # to hello @ parentsarehuman.com or message us in the website chat.
If you get a refund under our 100% Happiness Guarantee, the Shipping Protection fee isn't refunded.
Damaged or Incorrect Products
First, we're so sorry to hear that happened! Please accept our sincere apologies. We know nobody wants to receive a broken or incorrect product.
If you received your item and it's damaged or incorrect, please email us at hello @ parentsarehuman.com within seven (7) days of the date your order is received with the following information:
- A photo of the damage or incorrect item
- A description of the issue
- Your original order #
- Your Full Shipping address
Once we confirm the damage and validate the order we'll be able to help you out.
Reporting within 7 days helps us fix things quickly. It doesn't shorten our 100% Happiness Guarantee or any rights you have under the law.
Returns and Exchanges
To return or exchange an order, please follow the steps in our Refund Policy.
❤️ Shipping with Care
We don't just ship products. We send meaningful, relationship-altering experiences. Every package is wrapped with intention and care in the hopes that it sparks more love and connection in your life.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our small family business.

Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 25, 2026
Who We Are
Parents Are Human is on a mission to help people from every culture connect deeply with their loved ones.
This mission drives all the products, resources, and decisions we make.
This Privacy Policy explains how Parents Are Human LLC, a California limited liability company ("Parents Are Human," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit parentsarehuman.com, shop with us, join our email or text lists, get our digital decks, leave a review, contact us, or take part in our creator programs. It applies to the Parents Are Human website and to the policies page it links to.
The Short Version
- We collect what we need to ship your order, support you, and run our store, plus information about how you use our website.
- We work with advertising partners such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, and Pinterest, and we use analytics tools such as Google Analytics. The advertising partners' pixels and cookies collect information about your visits so we can measure and show our ads. Under California law this can count as "selling" or "sharing" personal information, even though no one pays us for it. You can opt out at any time (see "Your Privacy Choices" below).
- We never sell your information for money, and we never see or store your full card number.
Notice at Collection
This section lists the personal information we collect, why we collect it, whether we sell or share it, who we disclose it to, and how long we keep it. It describes our current practices. Anything you choose to include in a free-form message or form may contain other information as well.
Order and contact details (your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, the products you buy, and your order history)
- Categories: identifiers, customer records, and commercial information.
- Why: to process, ship, and support your orders (including replacements and refunds), prevent fraud, send emails and texts you've signed up for, show recent purchase notices, and show and measure our ads.
- Sold or shared: yes. We send some order events to advertising partners, in some cases with a hashed version of your email address or phone number.
- Disclosed to: Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, our email and text platform (Klaviyo), our reviews platform (Judge.me), customer support and chat tools, and analytics and attribution tools. Visitors to our website may see a recent purchase notice (see "Recent purchase notices" below).
- Kept: as long as needed for taxes and accounting, and at least 7 years.
Payment confirmation (card type and last four digits; we never receive your full card number)
- Categories: customer records.
- Why: to take payment, issue refunds, and prevent fraud.
- Sold or shared: no.
- Disclosed to: Shopify and our payment processors.
- Kept: with your order record.
Website and device activity (IP address, approximate location based on your IP address, cookie and device IDs, browser and device type, pages and products you view, items you add to your cart, referring websites and ads, and how you interact with our pages, such as clicks and scrolling)
- Categories: identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity, and approximate geolocation (never your precise location).

Our advertising partners keep what their pixels and cookies collect under their own policies: Meta (https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/), TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/us/privacy-policy/en), and Pinterest (https://policy.pinterest.com/en/privacy-policy). We delete our own click and scroll records after 14 months. We keep daily totals from them indefinitely: counts by page, device type, page section, button or link, and position on the page, with no way to tell which clicks came from the same page view.
Email and text list details (your email address, your mobile number if you sign up for texts, a record of your consent, and how you interact with our messages, such as opens and clicks)
- Categories: identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity.
- Why: to send the emails and texts you've signed up for, measure them, and honor your choices.
- Sold or shared: yes, for sign-up events, which go to advertising partners, in some cases with a hashed version of your email address or phone number. We do not sell or share your text message opt-in or consent.
- Disclosed to: Klaviyo.
- Kept: until you ask us to delete your profile. If you unsubscribe, we stop sending you marketing, and you stay on our do-not-contact list so we don't message you again.
Messages and chats (what you send us by email, website chat, text message, or our forms)
- Categories: identifiers, commercial information, and anything else you include.
- Why: to answer you and support your orders.
- Sold or shared: no.
- Disclosed to: our email, help desk, and chat providers.
- Kept: in our email, help desk, and chat accounts. We don't delete these on a set schedule: we keep them as long as they help us answer later questions about your orders and keep records of our customer service. Ask us and we'll delete them.
Reviews, photos, and videos (your rating, your review, the name you choose to show, and any photos or videos you add)
- Categories: identifiers and audio, electronic, or visual information.
- Why: to show reviews on our website and, with your permission, in our marketing (see our UGC Policy).
- Sold or shared: no.
- Disclosed to: Judge.me, and to the public when your review is published.

Heroes Discount ID images (the photo of a work or service ID you email us, and the discount code we send you)
- Categories: professional information, and sensitive personal information if the image includes a Social Security, driver's license, state identification card, or passport number.
- Why: only to confirm that you qualify for the discount.
- Sold or shared: no.

- Categories: identifiers, professional information, commercial information, and audio, electronic, or visual information.
- Why: to run our creator programs, pay you, and handle tax reporting.
- Sold or shared: no.
- Disclosed to: payment and tax tools, and the advertising platforms where we run your content.
- Kept: for the length of your participation and as long as needed for payment, tax, and legal records. Content you submit is also covered by the program terms, which give us a lasting license to use it.
Inferences (the products you might like)
- Categories: inferences.
- Why: to make our ads and emails more relevant.
- Sold or shared: yes, with advertising partners.
- Disclosed to: Klaviyo and our advertising partners.
- Kept: in Klaviyo until you ask us to delete your profile. Our advertising partners keep theirs under their own policies (linked above).
To opt out of selling or sharing, use the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of our website. The rest of this policy has the details.
Information We Collect
Information you give us.
- Order information: your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, the products you buy, and your order history.
- Payment information: card and wallet payments are handled by our payment processors (such as Shopify Payments, Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay). We receive confirmation of payment and limited details such as the card type and last four digits, never your full card number.
- Messages: what you send us by email, website chat, text message, or our forms.
- Email and text list sign-ups: your email address and, if you sign up for texts, your mobile number and a record of your consent.
- Reviews, photos, and videos: your review, rating, name as you choose to display it, and any photos or videos you upload (see our UGC Policy).
- Discount verification: if you send us a photo of a work or service ID for our Heroes Discount, we use it only to confirm that you qualify. We keep the image, and the discount code we send you, with your email until we delete it. If the image includes your Social Security, driver's license, state identification card, or passport number, that number is sensitive personal information under California law.
- Creator and challenge participants: your name, contact details, social handles, payment details, tax forms (such as IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN), the content you submit, and how that content performs in our ads.
Information collected automatically. When you use our website, we and our partners use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tools to collect your IP address, approximate location (based on your IP address), browser and device type, the pages and products you view, items you add to your cart, referring websites and ads, and how you interact with our pages (such as clicks and scrolling). Some of these tools also connect your activity to your email address or phone number when you've given it to us, so we can send relevant emails and measure our ads. Our emails and texts may also include tools, such as tracking pixels and tracked links, that tell us whether you opened a message or clicked a link.
Website chat. Our website chat is provided by Shopify (Shopify Inbox), which uses cookies and software code to run the chat. Shopify and other third parties may access and use information about the pages you visit, your IP address, your general location (such as city and state), and what you share in the chat, to provide the chat to us.
Information from other sources. We receive information from payment processors, shipping carriers (delivery status), advertising partners (ad performance), Gumroad (your name and email if you get a digital deck there), social media platforms (if you tag us or message us), and online marketplaces where you buy our decks, such as Amazon and TikTok Shop, when we ship those orders ourselves.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Process, ship, and support your orders, including replacements and refunds.
- Give you access to digital decks.
- Respond to your messages and requests.
- Send emails and texts you've signed up for (you can unsubscribe at any time).
- Show and measure our ads, including ads shown to you on other websites and apps.
- Understand how people use our website so we can improve it.
- Show reviews, photos, and videos you've shared with us.
- Run our creator programs, including paying participants and handling tax reporting.
- Prevent fraud, keep our website secure, and comply with the law.
Recent purchase notices. When you place an order on our website, for about 3 days afterward our website may show visitors a short notice about it: your first name, your city and state (or province and country, outside the US), the deck you bought, and roughly when you bought it. We never show your full name, street address, email address, or order total. If you'd rather not be included, email us at hello@parentsarehuman.com and we'll leave your orders out.
How We Share Information
Service providers. We share information with companies that help us run our business. These include our e-commerce platform (Shopify), payment processors, shipping carriers (such as USPS), our email and text platform (Klaviyo), our reviews platform (Judge.me), customer support and chat tools, website hosting and page-building tools, and analytics and attribution tools. Some of these companies also use information under their own privacy policies. For example, Shopify processes some information under its privacy policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
Advertising partners. We allow advertising partners such as Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest to collect information through their pixels and cookies on our website, and we send some order and sign-up events to them (in some cases using a scrambled, or "hashed," version of your email address or phone number) so they can measure our ads and show our ads to you and to people like you. These partners may also use the information under their own privacy policies.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use our website. We also run our own click and scroll measurement on our website to see which parts of a page people use. It records the page, where on the page you click or tap, which of our buttons or links you clicked (its text and where it goes), your screen width rounded to the nearest 50 pixels, and how far down you scroll. It doesn't read what you type into forms, doesn't record clicks inside our sign-up pop-up or other pop-up windows, and doesn't use cookies. Clicks from one page view are grouped under a random number that changes on every page, so they aren't connected to your other page views or visits. We don't share these records with our advertising partners, we don't save your IP address with them, and we don't use them to try to identify anyone. It doesn't run if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal.
The public. Reviews, photos, and videos you publish on our website are public. Others, including search engines, can see, copy, or store them, and we aren't responsible for how others use them.
Text messages. We do not sell or share your text message opt-in or consent with third parties for their own marketing.
Other reasons. We may share information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or sale of our business.
Your Privacy Choices
Opt out of sale and sharing. Use the "Your Privacy Choices" link at the bottom of our website (parentsarehuman.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out), or email us at hello@parentsarehuman.com. When you opt out, we stop selling or sharing your personal information for ad targeting. We apply your request to the browser and device you use and to any consumer profile we associate with them. If we can identify you, we also apply it to the personal information linked to you, including order and sign-up information sent to advertising partners. You'll still see ads, but they may be less relevant.
Global Privacy Control. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as valid requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. When we detect a GPC signal, we apply it to that browser and device and any associated consumer profile, including a pseudonymous profile. If we also know who you are (for example, you're signed in or you came to our site from one of our emails), we apply it to your email address and phone number too, including the order and sign-up information we send to advertising partners. When we've honored your signal, our privacy choices page shows "Opt-Out Request Honored."
Cookie settings. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can adjust ad settings directly with Meta, Google, and other platforms. Blocking cookies doesn't stop the order and sign-up information we send to partners from our servers, so use the opt-out above for that.
Emails. Click "unsubscribe" at the bottom of any marketing email.
Texts. Reply STOP to any text, or tell us any other reasonable way. Reply HELP for help.
Recent purchase notices. Email us to leave your orders out.
Do Not Track. Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There isn't a common standard for it, so we don't respond to it.
How Long We Keep Information
Our Notice at Collection above lists how long we keep each kind of personal information.
Your State Privacy Rights
This section applies to residents of US states with privacy laws that apply to us and give their residents these rights. Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we've collected about you, where we got it, why we use it, and who we share it with, and get a copy of it.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions (for example, records we must keep for taxes).
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and of its use for targeted advertising.
- Appeal if we decline your request, by replying to our decision and asking us to reconsider.
- Not be treated differently for using these rights.
To make a request, email hello@parentsarehuman.com with your name and the email address you used with us. We'll confirm your request and may ask for information to verify your identity before we give you or delete information (you don't need to verify an opt-out request). We'll respond within the time the law requires (in California, generally 45 days). You can use an authorized agent; we may ask the agent for proof that you authorized them.
California details. In the past 12 months, we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email, phone, address, IP address, and cookie or device IDs); customer records (such as payment and order details); commercial information (products viewed and purchased); internet activity (how you use our website and respond to our emails and ads); approximate location; audio or visual information (photos and videos you send us); professional information (for Heroes Discount verification and creator participants); and inferences about the products you might like. We collected them from the sources and used them for the purposes described above, and disclosed them to the service providers listed above.
In the past 12 months, we may have "sold" or "shared" (as California law defines those words) identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, approximate location, and inferences to advertising and analytics partners, for advertising and analytics. We may receive sensitive personal information, such as a driver's license or passport number visible on a Heroes Discount image, but we do not use it to infer characteristics about you, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose that gives you the right to limit its use under California law. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
Canada. You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw your consent to marketing, by emailing us.
European Economic Area and United Kingdom. We use your information to perform our contract with you (such as shipping your order), for our legitimate interests (such as improving our website and preventing fraud), and with your consent (such as for marketing and non-essential cookies, where required). You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict, or move your information, object to our use of it, or withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. We're based in the United States, and your information is processed there and in other countries where our service providers operate, with legal safeguards provided by those providers.
Children
Our website is meant for adults. Some of our decks are made for families to play with children, but they're bought by parents and other adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information, and we rely on established providers like Shopify and our payment processors for payment security. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.
Links and Embedded Content
Our website may link to or embed content from other websites (such as videos or social media posts). Those websites have their own privacy practices, and they may collect information about you when you interact with their content.
Changes to This Policy
We'll update this policy when our practices change and post the new "Last updated" date at the top. That date is the date the updated policy takes effect. If we make a material change, we'll give additional notice, such as a notice on our website or an email.

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.
Digital decks. Digital decks, including the digital access that comes with our physical decks, are licensed to you, not sold, under our Digital Content License.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WAIVES OR LIMITS ANY RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED BY CONTRACT, INCLUDING THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS LEGAL REMEDIES ACT AND THE SONG-BEVERLY CONSUMER WARRANTY ACT.

Section 19 - Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. This does not take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of the place where you live.
Talk to us first. Most concerns can be solved quickly by emailing hello@parentsarehuman.com. Before either of us files a claim against the other, the person bringing the claim will send a written description of the issue and what they're asking for (to us at hello@parentsarehuman.com, or to you at the email address on your order), and we'll both try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
Where claims are brought. If we can't resolve it, any claim will be brought in the state courts of California located in the county where Parents Are Human LLC has its principal office, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court where it qualifies, and nothing here limits any right you have under applicable law to bring a claim in the courts where you live.
Section 20 - Changes to Terms of Service
You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time by posting the updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Changes apply to your use of the website and to orders placed after the updated Terms are posted. They do not apply to orders placed before the change or to any dispute that arose before the change. If we make a material change, we will also give reasonable notice, such as a notice on our website or an email.
Section 21 - Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site or in respect to The Service constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service). If you have signed a separate written agreement with us (for example, a wholesale or creator agreement), that agreement controls for its subject.

❤️ Why This Exists
We created the 30-Second Video & Photo Challenge to celebrate the creativity of our community and invite you to help more people discover our connection card decks.
Below are the full legal terms that make everything clear, fair, and safe for everyone.
(We've kept it friendly and human, but thorough, so everyone's protected.)
Transparency Promise
We believe in full transparency.
Whenever your video or photo is used in our Meta ads, we'll share screenshots or reports directly from our Meta dashboard showing exactly how many conversions were tracked and how rewards were calculated.
Nothing is hidden or estimated. Everything comes straight from Meta's reporting tools.
Content Education Clause
By submitting content, you also agree that we may share or display your videos and photos privately or publicly for educational or training purposes, such as showing other creators examples of what performs well in the Program.
By participating in the Program, you also grant the Company permission to share general performance insights, such as the number of conversions, engagement rates, or screenshots of campaign dashboards, in connection with your submitted Content. These insights may be shown privately to other creators or publicly to illustrate what types of videos perform well, provided they are presented accurately and respectfully. You acknowledge that because your likeness or voice may appear in your Content, such sharing may indirectly identify you.

This Agreement is between you and Parents Are Human LLC, a California Limited Liability Company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

This means you still own your Content, but the Company has permission to use it indefinitely for its business purposes, including across social media, digital ads, websites, and other marketing materials.
3.2 Editing and Adaptation Rights. You agree that the Company may edit, adapt, remix, combine, shorten, or otherwise modify your Content in any way it deems appropriate for advertising, promotional, or educational purposes.

This Agreement governs participation in the Parents Are Human Creator Program.
By submitting content or continuing to participate, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
❤️ Why This Exists
We created the Parents Are Human Creator Program to celebrate the creativity of our community and invite you to help more people discover our connection card decks.
Below are the full legal terms that make everything clear, fair, and safe for everyone.
(We've kept it friendly and human, but thorough, so everyone's protected.)
🤝 Transparency Promise
We believe in full transparency.
Whenever your content is used in our paid advertising, we'll share a monthly summary showing exactly how many conversions were tracked and how rewards were calculated. This will typically include screenshots or reports directly from our advertising dashboards.
Nothing is hidden or estimated. Everything comes straight from the platform's reporting tools.
📚 Content Education Clause
By submitting content, you agree that we may share or display your videos privately or publicly for educational or training purposes, such as showing other creators examples of what performs well in the Program.
You also grant the Company permission to share general performance insights, such as conversion counts, engagement rates, or campaign dashboard screenshots, in connection with your submitted Content. These insights may be shown privately to other creators or publicly to illustrate what types of videos perform well, provided they are presented accurately and respectfully.
You acknowledge that because your likeness or voice may appear in your Content, such sharing may indirectly identify you.

If you have signed or later sign a separate Content Creator Agreement with the Company, that agreement governs your specific compensation, deliverables, and ongoing obligations, and its terms prevail over these Terms and Conditions where they conflict.

3.3 Raw Footage. If you submit raw footage along with your edited video, that raw footage is covered under the same license described above and does not require additional compensation. The Company may use raw footage to create additional ad variations, test new hooks, and optimize performance.

6.3 Separate Licenses. If you have purchased a separate commercial license for a specific track or sound, you may use it provided you submit a copy of the license to the Company before or at the time of content submission. The license must explicitly permit use in paid digital advertising by third parties. If you are unsure whether a specific source qualifies, confirm with the Company before submitting.
7. Compensation Structure
7.1 Separate Agreement Controls. If you have signed a separate Content Creator Agreement with the Company, that agreement governs your base compensation and commission structure. The terms below describe the general framework but may be superseded by your specific agreement.
7.2 Performance-Based Commission. Compensation under this Program may include a performance commission based on tracked conversions (purchases) generated through the Company's digital advertising platforms (currently Meta, and which may expand to include Amazon, TikTok, and others at the Company's discretion) when your Content is used in paid advertisements.
7.3 Commission Calculation. Conversions from all platforms on which your Content is used in paid advertising will be aggregated into a single monthly total. The minimum threshold is 25 conversions per month. If your total monthly conversions fall below 25, no commission is earned for that month.
At 25 conversions, you earn $50 USD, and an additional $50 USD is earned for each subsequent 25 conversions (e.g., 50 conversions = $100, 75 conversions = $150). Commissions are currently capped at $4,000 USD per month.
7.4 Monthly Reset. Conversion counts reset at the beginning of each calendar month. Conversions do not carry over from one month to the next.
7.5 Right to Revise. The Company reserves the right to revise the commission tiers or program structure to reflect changes in performance, platform rules, or budgetary constraints. Any changes will be communicated transparently, will never be applied retroactively, and will be published at: https://go.parentsarehuman.com/commissions
7.6 No Guaranteed Use or Earnings. Submission of Content does not guarantee:
(a) That your Content will be selected for use in advertisements;
(b) That your Content will generate any conversions if used;
(c) Any minimum level of compensation;
(d) Any compensation whatsoever.
7.7 Content Approval. The Company reserves the right to reject any submitted Content for any reason or no reason. Only Content that has been explicitly accepted by the Company is eligible to earn rewards.
7.8 Post-Termination Commission. If your relationship with the Company ends through non-renewal, mutual agreement, or voluntary withdrawal, the Company will continue to track and pay your Ad Performance Commission for as long as your Content remains in active paid advertising rotation and continues to meet the minimum conversion threshold.
The Company will report and pay post-termination commissions on the same monthly schedule and with the same transparency described above.
This does not apply if your participation is terminated for material breach, in which case the Company's commission obligations end as of the termination date, though the Company retains its perpetual license under Section 3.

9. Intellectual Property
9.1 Company Trademarks. All Company trademarks, service marks, logos, product names, and trade dress are the exclusive property of the Company. Your participation in this Program does not grant you any rights to use the Company's intellectual property except as specifically necessary to create Content for Program submission.
9.2 Third-Party Content. You may not include any third-party copyrighted material in your Content (including copyrighted music, video clips, images, or text) unless you own it or have obtained appropriate licenses or permissions.
