Affiliate program
The affiliate program is paused.
The Grindstone Prep affiliate program is currently paused and is not accepting new applications. There is nothing to sign up for at the moment, and this page does not offer a commission to anyone arriving on it now.
If you were looking for practice exams rather than for the program, these are the pages you want:
- The exams and what they cost.
- The free readiness assessment — real items from the bank, with their explanations and their source links, in the browser, with no account and no payment.
- The sourcing methodology — which documents the questions are written from, what is refused outright, and what happens when we are wrong.
If you already have an affiliate link
Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record for every sale on this site, ran the program and holds the records for it: links, clicks, orders and anything owed. Your affiliate dashboard there is the authority on your account, not this page.
Every license carries a pass-or-refund guarantee, set out on the refunds page. A refunded sale is a reversed commission, as it is with any program.
The rules below applied to every link while the program ran, and they still apply to any link that is still in circulation. Three of them restate constraints this site holds itself to on every page.
- Do not say the questions match the real exam. They are not the exam’s own questions, they are not modeled on them, and nobody here has seen them. They are written from the vendor’s published objectives and published documentation. Say that instead — it is both true and more persuasive.
- Do not promise anybody a pass. No promised outcome, no promised score, no “you’ll be fine after this.” There is a pass-or-refund guarantee and you may describe it accurately: it is a refund of our fee, not a prediction about anyone’s result.
- Do not imply a relationship with Fortinet. Grindstone Prep has no relationship with Fortinet of any kind — no approval, no sponsorship, no partnership, no accreditation, nothing. Do not suggest in your copy that we have one, and do not use Fortinet’s logos, wordmarks or brand colors anywhere near our link. The notice at the foot of this page is the wording we use ourselves; you are welcome to reuse it word for word.
- Do not bid on our name in paid search. No bidding on “Grindstone Prep” or near-spellings of it in any paid-search auction, and no domain that reads as though it belongs to us.
Tell your audience the link pays you. Plainly, near the link, not in a footer nobody scrolls to, for as long as the link is up.
