Income Disclaimer

1. No Earnings Guarantee

The Open Window Academy LLC / The Open Window Academy ("Company") does not guarantee any level of income or earnings from participation in our Affiliate Program, use of our products, or engagement with our Platform. Any income or earnings statements, examples, or representations are estimates of what may be possible based on hypothetical scenarios, not promises of actual performance.

Your results will depend entirely on your own effort, skill, knowledge, ability, dedication, business savvy, network, financial situation, market conditions, and many other factors beyond our control. The Company expressly disclaims any guarantee of income or financial success.

2. FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose the following:

• Any income examples or testimonials on this Platform represent the results of specific individuals and are not typical.
• Affiliates who share testimonials or income examples may have a material connection to the Company (they earn commissions from the Affiliate Program).
• All Affiliates are required to disclose their material connection to the Company when promoting The Open Window Academy products or the business opportunity.
• The Company does not endorse, approve, or verify the accuracy of income claims made by individual Affiliates.

If you are a The Open Window Academy Affiliate: You are legally required to clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship with the Company in all marketing materials, social media posts, and communications where you promote The Open Window Academy or the business opportunity. Failure to do so may violate FTC regulations and result in termination of your Affiliate status.

3. Typical Results & Realistic Earnings Expectations

The typical participant in any business opportunity earns little to no income. While our top performers may earn significant commissions and bonuses, these results are not typical and should not be expected by the average participant.

We make no claims that our business opportunity will make you rich, replace your current income, or provide financial freedom. Building a successful business takes time, effort, persistence, and involves risk.

4. Product-Based Business Model Statement

The Open Window Academy is a legitimate product-based membership platform. Our business model is built on the sale of genuine digital products and services to end consumers. The value of a The Open Window Academy membership is derived from the products and tools included, not from the recruitment of other participants.

• Product Value: Every Member receives access to 9 digital products and AI-powered tools regardless of whether they participate in the Affiliate Program.
• No Recruitment Requirement: Members are not required to recruit others to use or benefit from the Platform's products.
• Commission Source: Commissions are earned on the sale of products and memberships to end consumers, not on recruitment alone.
• No Inventory Loading: There is no requirement to purchase inventory, maintain stock, or buy products beyond your own membership.
• Voluntary Participation: The Affiliate Program is entirely voluntary. Members may use the Platform's products without ever participating in the business opportunity.

The Open Window Academy is NOT a pyramid scheme, Ponzi scheme, or chain letter. Pyramid schemes are illegal and involve payments primarily for recruiting others rather than selling legitimate products. Our compensation plan rewards the sale of real products and services.

5. Self-Employment Tax Responsibility

IMPORTANT TAX NOTICE: If you earn income through the The Open Window Academy Affiliate Program, you are classified as a self-employed independent contractor. This has significant tax implications.

• Self-Employment Tax: You are responsible for paying self-employment tax (currently 15.3% in the U.S.) on your net earnings, which covers Social Security and Medicare contributions.
• Federal & State Income Tax: All commissions, bonuses, and profit-share distributions are taxable income that must be reported on your tax return.
• Quarterly Estimated Payments: If you expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes, you may be required to make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS.
• 1099-NEC Reporting: The Company will issue IRS Form 1099-NEC to any U.S.-based Affiliate earning $600 or more in a calendar year.

The Company does not provide tax advice and is not responsible for your tax obligations. See our Independent Contractor Agreement for full details.

6. No License Required Statement

Operating as a The Open Window Academy Affiliate generally does not require a special business license, professional license, or certification. As an independent contractor promoting digital products and services, you are engaging in lawful commercial activity.

However, depending on your jurisdiction, you may need to:

• Register as a sole proprietor or form a business entity (LLC, etc.).
• Obtain a general business license from your city or county.
• Obtain a sales tax permit if your jurisdiction requires one for digital product sales.
