LEGAL & EARNINGS DISCLAIMER
Last updated: October 28, 2026
1. ABOUT SHAREMERCHANT.COM
ShareMerchant.com is an informational and educational website about online advertising, independent marketing services and the optional Affiliate Programs available through participating CoolCarGuy.com and Freak Sites websites.
ShareMerchant.com is not an advertising Island, a customer checkout system or an affiliate payout platform.
Actual advertising purchases, affiliate applications, commissions and payout obligations are governed by the specific selling website’s current terms.
2. NO GUARANTEED EARNINGS
No individual, business, advertiser or affiliate is guaranteed to earn money through any method discussed on ShareMerchant.com.
Results may vary substantially, and a participant may earn nothing.
The ability to purchase advertising, offer marketing services independently or apply to an Affiliate Program does not establish that customers, sales or commissions will occur.
3. HYPOTHETICAL COMMISSION EXAMPLES
Examples on this website may show how commission percentages calculate across direct and connected affiliate positions.
Such examples are mathematical illustrations, not historical earnings reports, typical participant results, promises or projections.
For example, any illustration assuming that each of a group of participants purchases one $7 Parking Spot every week for 52 weeks requires those voluntary purchases to actually occur, qualify and be properly attributed.
It also assumes the relevant affiliates remain eligible and that no disqualifying refunds, chargebacks, tracking errors or other events prevent commission payment.
No example establishes that such participation or sales volume is likely.
4. PRODUCT SALES, NOT REGISTRATION PAYMENTS
Under the standard published Freak Sites program terms, commissions are earned from qualifying paid advertising product transactions.
Joining an Affiliate Program, recruiting a person or creating a free account does not itself create a commission.
There is no required starter kit, inventory purchase, monthly autoship or personal purchasing quota to unlock the standard commission structure.
There is no requirement to recruit other affiliates in order to earn eligible direct sales commissions.
Each Island’s current terms govern the actual eligibility and attribution of individual transactions.
5. MULTIPLE COMMISSION POSITIONS
The current standard five-position Freak Sites schedule is 20%, 15%, 10%, 5% and 5% on eligible transactions.
These percentages identify potential commission positions in a properly connected affiliate path.
They do not mean that one person receives all five commissions or that every purchase results in five payments.
Neither the number of positions nor this website’s description determines a program’s legal classification. Actual program operation and applicable law remain relevant.
6. INDEPENDENT SERVICE REVENUE IS NOT AFFILIATE INCOME
Examples involving an independent marketer, consultant, copywriter, agency or advertising service provider may illustrate revenue from services the provider sells directly to their own clients.
Those services are separate from the underlying website’s advertising product prices and Affiliate Program.
Hypothetical service fees do not represent required pricing, suggested retail prices, guaranteed revenue or platform-approved reseller arrangements.
Independent providers are responsible for their own agreements, work, permissions, expenses, taxes and applicable laws.
7. ADVERTISING RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED
A Parking Spot is an advertising and publishing product, not an investment or ownership interest in the hosting website.
Advertising does not guarantee traffic, leads, customers, bookings, sales, business growth, commissions or profit.
The current $7 standard Parking Spot price is a published product price, not evidence that an advertising campaign will be profitable.
8. OPTIONAL PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS
Optional products may include recorded-view promotion or video placement.
For example, current CoolCarGuy.com products include StoryDrive™ 1000 at $25 and a YouTube Video Package at $49, subject to their published terms and eligibility requirements.
StoryDrive’s additional recorded view-counter increase is not a guarantee of unique visitors, customers, sales or income.
The YouTube Video Package involves publication of an approved customer-supplied finished video on the designated channels. It is not a promise that the video will generate views, subscribers, buyers or revenue.
9. EXPENSES, TAXES AND NET INCOME
Gross revenue and affiliate commissions are not necessarily profit.
Advertising purchases, independent service costs, marketing expenditures, labor, software, transaction fees, taxes and other expenses can reduce or eliminate net earnings.
Participants are responsible for evaluating their own costs and financial results.
10. AFFILIATE DISCLOSURES AND ADVERTISING COMPLIANCE
Affiliates and independent marketers must comply with applicable advertising laws, platform requirements and their current program terms.
Material financial or affiliate relationships should be clearly disclosed when recommending products or sharing compensated links, as required by law.
False advertising, misleading earnings representations, fake endorsements and other prohibited promotional practices are not authorized by this website.
11. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Information published on ShareMerchant.com is educational material and opinion. It does not constitute individualized legal, tax, financial, accounting, investment or other professional advice.
Readers should consult qualified professionals when needed and independently evaluate the applicable products, terms and risks.
12. CURRENT TERMS CONTROL
Prices, products, Affiliate Program eligibility, commission schedules, tracking methods and payout conditions may change.
For actual transactions, the current terms of the participating CoolCarGuy.com or Freak Sites website where the purchase or affiliate activity occurs control.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The advertising must sell for affiliate commissions to be generated. Independent service providers must deliver real work to their clients. Neither activity guarantees income.
Evaluate the products for their actual usefulness, understand the conditions and expenses, and never rely on hypothetical examples as proof of future results.
