Regarding the Revision of the Affiliate Partner Agreement
Thank you for your continued support of DLsite.
Recently, we announced revisions to the Affiliate Partner Agreement.
We are writing to inform you that the revised Affiliate Partner Agreement will be effective from December 10, 2024 (JST).
The revised terms will be applied to sales made from December 2024 onward.
There will be no change to the payment method for affiliate users, but we ask that all affiliate users please review the updated Affiliate Partner Agreement below and agree to it before using our services.
Users who use DLsite after the revision date will be deemed to have agreed to the revised Affiliate Partner Terms and Conditions.

・Sections 3 and 4 will be updated as follows:

4. If the payment method is to be bank transfer to a financial institution in Japan, payment of combined results-based rewards which value less than 3,000 JPY shall be carried over to the following month in succession until the value exceeds 3,000 JPY.
