1.5Whether, when, and how often you post is up to you. You are not required to post.

1.6Joining the Program is free, and you do not need to buy the app. You can join the Event free of charge with a code that Fonorma issues to you.

(1)"Event" means New Year, True Me, the 90-day event held in the Fonorma app from January 1 to March 31, 2027.

3. Applying

3.1To register as an affiliate, you must be 18 or older and live in one of the following countries or regions: the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, or the Philippines. If you live in Japan, apply through the Japanese version of these terms.

3.2Applications are accepted through the application form on this page. Enter your name or creator name, your email address, the Referral Code you would like, the country or region where you live, and the social media accounts you mainly use for referrals.

3.3When your application is complete, your Referral Code and registration key appear on the screen, and Fonorma sends the same details to you by email. You become registered as an affiliate when they appear on the screen. The version of these terms in effect at that time then applies to you. Fonorma will email you the code for joining the Event free of charge after Apple completes its review of the app. This is expected in late November 2026.

3.4Fonorma reviews each application after it is received. Fonorma may suspend your Referral Code in any of the following cases: (1) Fonorma cannot confirm that you own the accounts you entered; (2) your application contains incorrect information; (3) the account you entered often posts content that harms others or breaks the law.

3.5You may choose your own Referral Code, using 4 to 12 letters or numbers. You cannot choose a code made only of numbers, or a code that could be confused with Fonorma's official name.

3.6The registration key lets you check your number of Buyers and your Referral Fees in the app. Enter it under Settings > For affiliates. Do not share the key with anyone.

4. The Event

4.1Participants choose the apps they want to use less and set a daily time limit for them. When participants reach the limit, those apps are blocked until the end of the day, unless the participant extends the limit. A participant can extend the limit by 15 minutes, up to twice a day.

4.2Each extension counts as unlocking a block. If a participant unlocks a block on 3 days in a row, or 10 times in total, their participation in the Event ends. They can keep using the app after that.

4.3Each night, participants answer a few questions. Based on their answers, the app shows a radar chart of five areas: sleep, food, exercise, mood, and habits. Participants can see how their habits change over the 90 days.

4.4People can join after January 1. The Event ends for all participants on March 31, 2027, regardless of when they joined.

4.5Completing the Event does not earn any prize or reward. Apple's usual refund process is available, as it is for other apps.

4.6The fee for the Event is US$6.99 in the United States, paid once. Prices in other countries are set by the App Store. The purchase does not renew automatically. No discounts or bonuses are offered.

6. Rules for referrals

6.1You decide how to describe Fonorma, within the limits of Sections 6.2 to 6.4.

6.2Every time you refer people to Fonorma, you must state clearly that the post is an ad. Start the post with "Ad" or "#ad". In a video, also say or show that it is an ad in the video itself, not only in the description. Use the platform's disclosure feature as well, such as the Paid partnership label on Instagram, the Disclose commercial content setting on TikTok, or the Paid Partnership label on X. These steps follow the guidance of the US Federal Trade Commission. If the rules where you live are stricter, you must follow those rules.

6.3You must describe the Event accurately. You may describe your own experience with the app only if you have used it. You must not use any of the following expressions.

• Expressions that promise health benefits, such as "cures phone addiction" or "you will sleep better"
• Expressions that may suggest that entering a Referral Code lowers the price or gives a bonus
• Expressions that may suggest that completing the Event earns a prize or reward
• Expressions that may suggest that the app works on Android devices or is available in the European Union or the United Kingdom

6.4You must not do any of the following.

• Offer money, points, or goods to people who see your referral to encourage them to buy
• Run search ads, including Apple Ads, on terms that contain the name "Fonorma"

7. Referral Fees

7.1Fonorma pays US$3 for each Buyer.

7.2Fonorma pays US$1.50 for each Friend Group Buyer.

7.3The referrer is determined by the one code entered at the time of purchase, and only one code can be entered for each purchase. If a Buyer later moves to another group, the referrer does not change. A Referral Code must be entered in the app before the purchase and cannot be entered afterward. Include this point when you refer people to Fonorma.

7.4Buyers whose participation in the Event later ends are counted. People who receive a refund from Apple are not counted. If a refund is found after a payment has been made, the amount is deducted from later payments.

7.5Referral Fees are paid monthly. In the middle of each month in which Apple pays Fonorma, Fonorma pays the Referral Fees for the purchases included in Apple's payment. Purchases made in December are expected to be paid in mid-February, and purchases made in January in mid-March.

7.6Fonorma makes a payment in any month when the amount due, including any amount carried over, reaches US$30. Smaller amounts carry over to the next month.

7.7Payments are made through Wise, an international money transfer service. Before the first payment, Fonorma will ask for your name and payment details. Fonorma pays the transfer fees, so you receive the full Referral Fee. Referral Fees are calculated in US dollars, and Wise can pay them in your local currency at its exchange rate on the day of payment.

7.8The Referral Fee is payment for the referral services you provide. Fonorma does not withhold tax from Referral Fees. You are responsible for reporting your Referral Fees under the tax rules where you live.

7.9If you leave the Program, or if Fonorma cancels your registration under Section 9.2, Fonorma pays for the purchases made up to that point. This includes amounts below US$30. However, Fonorma does not pay for purchases made through referrals that break Section 6.4.

7.10Referral Fees from April 2027 onward have not been decided. Fonorma will announce them on this page once they are decided.

8. Data
