What happens when a program ends?

Every program has an end date. By default it renews for another year each time it gets there; a brand running a campaign can turn that off, and then it simply ends.

After the end: nobody new joins, links still take visitors to the brand’s site but credit nobody, and new actions are recorded but not paid.

Renewals of subscriptions sold during the program, and sales the brand records from actions during it, are paid after the end only if the brand ticked “Keep paying after the program ends”. It is off unless the brand turns it on, and once creators have joined on it, it stays on.

Once creators have joined, the dates only move in their favour: the end can move later, not earlier.
