You refer someone who becomes a TemplateMonster affiliate. From then on, TemplateMonster pays you 5% connected to their activity, separately from the 30% you earn on your own referrals.
Worked example
Say an average TemplateMonster plan is $97 a month. You refer 10 paying accounts yourself and recruit 5 affiliates who each refer 4 paying accounts.
Tier 1: 10 accounts x $29 = $290 a month
Tier 2: 20 accounts through your recruits x $5 = $100 a month
Total: $390 a month

Pros
Tier 1 pays 30%.
A real second tier exists, which most tools do not offer.

Rates come from the program's own page.
Cons
One-off product sales, so no recurring revenue. Terms page states both tiers.
One-off payouts, no recurring revenue.
Who it fits
TemplateMonster suits you if your audience already needs website templates software and you can show the product in use. The second tier only matters if you also reach other
affiliates, through a course, a community or a newsletter about making money online. If
you never recruit affiliates, judge this program on its first tier alone.
