 ## 4. Attribution — who gets credit
 
 Only **one partner** earns rewards for a given brand. Credit is resolved in this order:
 
-1. **Last click wins.** The partner whose referral link the brand clicked **most recently before signing up** receives the attribution. Each click starts a **30-day attribution window**; a newer click by another partner replaces an older one.
+1. **Last click wins.** The partner whose referral link the brand clicked **most recently before signing up** receives the attribution. If the person signed up without a referral link, the last link clicked before they create their first program counts. Each click starts a **30-day attribution window**; a newer click by another partner replaces an older one.
 2. **One brand, one partner — permanently.** Once a brand is attributed, the link is exclusive and enforced at the database level. It does not change retroactively.
 3. **Affitor's tracking system is the authoritative record** of clicks, signups, and attribution.
 4. **Backstop.** If a situation cannot be resolved by the rules above (for example, a broken cookie chain across devices), Affitor will determine attribution at its sole discretion, and that determination is final.
