# Create & Edit Special Terms

*Special terms* allow you to customize and define your relationship with your partnered brand and negotiate default terms. You’ll be able to state that you’re interested in joining a program if certain aspects of the terms are modified. These aspects could include the offer amount (e.g, commission, incentives) and the duration, exclusions, or inclusions of special terms and conditions.

1. From the top navigation bar, select ![](/files/8O71ZiinbSXuq2NVrK7k) **\[User profile] → Settings**.  
2. Under *General*, select **Special Terms**.
3. In the upper-right corner, select **Create New Special Terms**.
4. Enter the following information:
   * **Name:** Provide a descriptive name for your special terms.
