a) To enroll, you must submit a completed Affiliate Program signup form.
b) We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion)
that your website or promotional method is not suitable for the Affiliate Program for
any reason, including, but not limited to, its inclusion of content that is unlawful or
otherwise violates Provider’s Acceptable Use Policy, as determined in our sole
discretion.
c) If we reject your application, for any reason, you may not re-apply to the Affiliate
Program utilizing the same domain name/URL or reapply using a different
domain/URL name and then add the previously rejected domain name/URL to your
Affiliate Dashboard. Provider, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to reject or
remove any prospective affiliate from the Affiliate Program at any time, with or without
notice. - Promotion of our Affiliate Relationship
a) Use of Links. If you qualify and agree to participate as an Affiliate, we may provide you with access to graphic and textual links and JavaScript code or a Coupon code (each referred to herein as a “Link” or collectively, as the “Links”) that you may use to promote Provider Services. Links will serve to identify your website as a member of the Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your website or e-mail to Provider Website. You agree to cooperate fully with us to establish, display, and maintain such Links. You further agree that your use of the Links must be in compliance with this Agreement at all times. Provider may modify the Links from time to time in its sole discretion. You will not use graphic or textual images (indicating a Link) or text messages to promote Provider that are not approved in advance by Provider. Furthermore, you agree not to use cookie stuffing techniques that set the affiliate tracking cookie without the Referred Customer’s knowledge (e.g. iframe).
b) Keyword Noncompete. For so long as you are an Affiliate, you may not purchase,
either directly or indirectly, or bid, either directly or indirectly, on any Keywords owned
or offered through an internet search engine (including Google, Yahoo, or Bing) that
compete with Provider’s name, trademarks, or product names. In addition, you will not,
directly or indirectly, engage in any activities that could result in confusion among
consumers as to the source of an ad (including the overuse of an authorized
trademark, trademark cyber-stuffing or other similar activities). “Keywords” shall mean
a word used in a search request by an internet search engine user which, when used
in such internet search engine, causes a particular sponsor’s ad to appear next to the
search results.
c) Prohibited Activities. Except as permitted herein, you shall not and are not authorized
to (i) use Provider’s trademark or other intellectual property, including without
limitation, the Links (collectively, “Provider’s IP”) without Provider’s express prior
written permission; (ii) use Provider’s name (or any variation or misspelling thereof or
other terms that are confusingly similar to any of the foregoing) in a domain name, any
metatags, advertising, search terms, code, or otherwise; or (iii) act in any way that
causes or could cause any confusion concerning the source of, or your association
with Provider’s Services. Your use of Provider’s IP in any manner, other than as
expressly permitted hereunder shall constitute unlawful infringement of Provider’s
intellectual property rights and may subject you to liability (including potential treble
damages for knowing or willful infringement), and the obligation to pay Provider’s legal
fees and costs in connection with Provider’s enforcement of its rights.
d) Discounts and Coupons. You are not allowed to post any refunds, credits or discounts
on Provider Services, or other content concerning Provider without our prior written
consent in each instance. Affiliates may only use active coupons and discounts that
are provided exclusively through the Affiliate Program using banners and links. Each
Link connecting users of the Affiliate Site to the pertinent area of the Provider Website
will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of the Provider Website. Any violations
of the terms surrounding links, coupons, refunds, credits or discounts shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement and may result in your termination from the
Affiliate Program or the withholding of Commission Fees. - Disclosures
a) It is the intent of Provider to treat all customers fairly. Accordingly, we require all
Affiliates to comply with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines, including without
limitation, those concerning advertising and marketing which further includes as
applicable the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides, which require
that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. This
means that all Affiliate Sites (e.g. directories, review/rating websites, blogs, and other
websites) and any email or collateral that provide an endorsement or assessment of
Provider’s Services must clearly and conspicuously disclose the fact that you receive
compensation for Referred Customers. In addition, disclosures must (i) be made as
close as possible to the claims, (ii) be made on each page of the Affiliate Site
containing a Link or referencing Provider, and (iii) be immediately evident and not
require scrolling, clicking or any other user action to learn you receive compensation.
You can read more about how the FTC guidelines apply to you here. FTC guidelines
are subject to change over time and it is your responsibility to review and comply with
current guidelines as they may change over time. You are advised to seek and obtain
your own legal advice on how these rules apply to the Affiliate Site or other promotional
activities for which you receive compensation.
b) Provider reserves the right to withhold Commission Fees and cancel your participation
in the Affiliate Program should we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are not in
compliance with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines. - Commission Determination; Qualified Purchases
Commission Fees will be calculated based on the commission rates stated on the Affiliate
Dashboard for each Qualified Purchase (as defined herein) subject to commission accruing
pursuant to the Agreement. A “Qualified Purchase” does NOT include any of the following:
i. A purchase by a Referred Customer that has transferred from any Provider
partner or entity that owns, is owned by, or is under common ownership with
Provider.
ii. A purchase by a Referred Customer who is also associated with any Provider
reseller, referral, or other program.
iii. A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not up to date on its payments or
is subject to a refund, referral, or other program.
iv. A purchase that was completed prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program
or was not tracked properly through a Link.
v. A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a
period of at least thirty (30) days or is in violation of Provider’s Terms of Service
or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue.
vi. A purchase that Provider suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud,
which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real
and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same customer, or the
referral of accounts that do not comply with this Agreement.
vii. A purchase referred by an Affiliate that has an excessive cancellation rate as
determined in Provider’s sole discretion.
viii. A purchase by a Referred Customer who received a popup with a discounted
offer, while leaving Provider’s Website during their purchase.
ix. A purchase by a Referred Customer who, prior to such purchase, clicked
through a Link established by another affiliate under this Affiliate Program.
a) Provider reserves the right to withhold payment of Commission Fees to Affiliates who
are new to the Affiliate Program, or who have referrals that are potentially the result of
fraud as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and
cancellation rates of Referred Customers.
b) Provider reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time
and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of
any of the terms of this Agreement or the Provider Terms and Conditions by the
Affiliate or a Referred Customer. Provider reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate’s
current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to
any fraudulent, questionable, or cancelled purchases. If no subsequent Commission
Fees are due and owing, Provider may send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such
refunded purchase upon termination of Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program
or termination of the Referred Customer.
c) Provider reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any
Commission Fees that fail to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is
responsible for monitoring the payment, denial, and withholding of Commission Fees.
Provider is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees.
If Affiliate has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld,
Affiliate has thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact
Provider to request that the Commission Fee be paid. Any changes to decisions about
cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly made in Provider’s sole discretion.
d) Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Provider reseller,
referral or other program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase, as determined
by Provider in its sole discretion. In other words, you may not receive double
commissions or compensation.
e) In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Provider by an Affiliate
are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Provider in
its sole discretion, Provider reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future
Commission Fees to such Affiliate.
f) Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers,
Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Provider or any
violation of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Provider to
terminate the Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program and will result in the
forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Affiliate. - Commission Payments
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any applicable Affiliate
Platform, Commission Fees will be calculated according to the specified percentage
or dollar amount set forth in the commission report in your Affiliate Dashboard for each
Qualified Purchase that accrues during the period for which such Commission Fees
are being calculated.
b) Commission Fees will be processed when you submit a payout request provided that the Commission Fees are eligible for payout.
c) Provider will only compensate you for Qualified Purchases made in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
d) Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in your Affiliate
Dashboard. You are required to notify the Affiliate Platform promptly of any change in
your address by updating your profile information in the Affiliate Dashboard. You are
responsible for informing the Affiliate Platform of your desired payment form/type. You
can update or change your desired payment method at any time by updating your
affiliate profile located in the Affiliate Dashboard.
e) You may view the currently available payment methods by logging into your Affiliate
Dashboard for the applicable Affiliate Platform. If PayPal is offered as a payment method, please refer to PayPal’s policy to ensure you are eligible to receive payment if you reside outside of the United States.
f) Provider and the Affiliate Platform, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify
the available payment methods or payment schedule at any time. Such changes shall
take effect when posted.
g) Disputes: Affiliate agrees to file any disputes within forty-five (45) days of the date on
which a disputed sale or event occurred. Disputes filed after forty-five (45) days of the
date on which the disputed sale or event occurred will not be accepted by Provider
and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
h) Commission Fees will accrue and only become payable once you (i) provide all
relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to this Section, and (ii) reach the
Commission Threshold based on the commission rates stated in the Affiliate
Dashboard, solely as applied to Qualified Purchases which occurred within ninety (90)
days of the end of the calendar month in which the first of such Qualified Purchases
occurred. Provider reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold and will
notify you as may be required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
i) It is solely your responsibility to provide Provider with accurate tax and payment
information that is necessary to issue Commission Fees to you. Each Affiliate is
required to submit a W8 (for Affiliates located outside of the U.S.) or W9 (for Affiliates
located in the U.S.) tax form as applicable before any Commission Fees shall accrue.
You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the Commission Fees you
receive under this Agreement. In compliance with U.S. tax laws, Provider
will issue a Form 1099 to Affiliates whose earnings meet or exceed the applicable
threshold. If Provider does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within
ninety (90) days of a Qualified Purchase which would otherwise trigger Commission
Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no Commission Fees will be
owed with respect to such Qualified Purchase.
j) Provider is not responsible for paying any third-party fees, including any fees charged
by PayPal or banks, in order for you to receive Commission Fees.
k) Provider, in its sole discretion, may offer you the ability to receive Commission Fees
through PayPal Payouts, standard PayPal, wire or ACH transfer. - Data Security
Affiliate shall comply with all applicable data protection laws regarding the transmission of
data exported to or from the United States or the country in which Affiliate resides, including
without limitation, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of European Parliament
and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the “GDPR”). Affiliate, as a controller under the GDPR,
shall also implement appropriate technical measures to ensure a level of security appropriate
to the risk, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purpose of processing any
personal data. Affiliate agrees to promptly assist Provider in complying with any data subject
rights request under the GDPR that Provider may receive from any individuals referred to
Provider by Affiliate. Affiliate further agrees to promptly assist Provider in complying with any
duties to cooperate with supervisory authorities under the GDPR. - Order Processing
Provider will process orders placed by Referred Customers who follow the Links from an Affiliate
Site to Provider. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply
with certain requirements that we may establish from time to time. All aspects of order processing
and fulfillment, including Provider’s services, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment
processing will be our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by your
Affiliate Site and will make this information available to you through our website and/or the
applicable Affiliate Platform. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you
must ensure that the Links between the Affiliate Site and the Provider Website are properly
formatted. - Obligations Regarding Your Affiliate Site
a) You are solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your
Affiliate Site and for all materials that appear on your Affiliate Site. Such responsibilities
include, but are not limited to, the technical operation of your Affiliate Site and all
related equipment; creating and posting product reviews, descriptions, and references
on your Affiliate Site and linking those descriptions to the Provider Website; the
accuracy of materials posted on your Affiliate Site (including, but not limited to, all
materials related to Provider Services); ensuring that materials posted on your Affiliate
Site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party and are not libelous or
otherwise illegal. We disclaim all liability and responsibility for such matters.
b) We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor signups through your Affiliate Site
from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. Affiliate shall reasonably cooperate with any Provider audit of the Affiliate
Site, including but not limited to the provision of documentation or information
reasonably requested by Provider. If you are not in compliance, we may terminate
your participation in the Affiliate Program effective immediately. - Provider Responsibilities
We will provide all information necessary for you to make Links from your Affiliate Site to
Provider Website. Provider will be solely responsible for order processing (including payment
processing, cancellations, and refunds) for orders for Provider Services placed by a Referred
Customer, for tracking the volume and amount of Qualified Purchases generated by your
Affiliate Site, for providing information to Affiliates regarding Qualified Purchase statistics, and
for providing Referred Customers with the services purchased. - Policies and Pricing
Referred Customers who buy Provider Services through our affiliate network are deemed to
be Provider’s customers. Provider’s Terms and Conditions, rules, policies, and operating
procedures will apply to such customers. We may change our policies, pricing, and operating
procedures at any time. For example, Provider determines the prices to be charged for
Provider Services sold through the affiliate network in accordance with our own pricing
policies. Prices and availability of Provider Services may vary from time to time, from affiliate
to affiliate, and from region to region. Because price changes may affect products that you
have listed on your Affiliate Site, you may or may not be able to include price information in
your product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate
information on Provider Website, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any
particular Provider Service. - E-mails and Publicity
You shall not create, publish, transmit or distribute, under any circumstances, any bulk email
messages without Provider’s prior written consent, to be granted or denied in Provider’s sole
discretion, in each instance. Additionally, you may only send emails containing a Link and or
a message regarding Provider or the Affiliate Program to people who have previously
consented to receiving such communications from you. Your failure to abide by this Section
and all applicable laws relating to email communications, in any manner, will be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement by you and will result in the forfeiture by you of any and all
rights you may have to any Commission Fees and the termination of your participation in the
Affiliate Program. Further, if your Affiliate account has excessive clicks in a very short period
of time as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, the Affiliate relationship may be
terminated. - IP Licenses and Use
a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-assignable, revocable license to (i) provide access to the
Provider Website through the Links solely in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; and (ii) use Provider’s IP for the sole purpose of promoting Provider’s
Services on your Affiliate Site. You may not alter, modify, or change Provider’s IP in
any way or use Provider’s IP in any manner that is disparaging or that otherwise
portrays Provider, any Provider employee, representative or customer in a negative
light. You are only entitled to use Provider’s IP in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. Your license to use Provider’s IP shall immediately terminate upon the
termination of your participation in the Affiliate Program for any reason. We reserve
all of our rights in Provider’s IP and your license to use Provider’s IP is limited to the
manner described herein. Provider may review the Affiliate Site to ensure compliance
with this Agreement at any time.
b) You grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to utilize your name, title,
trademarks, and logos (the “Affiliate Trademarks”) in any advertisement or other
materials used to promote Provider and the Affiliate Program. For the avoidance of
doubt, Provider may, but is not obligated to use the Affiliate Trademarks at is sole
discretion. This license shall terminate upon the termination of your participation in the
Affiliate Program. - Term and Termination
a) The terms of this Agreement are effective upon your submission of an application to
the Affiliate Program and shall remain in effect until either party terminates your
participation in the Affiliate Program (the “Term”). Your participation in the Affiliate
Program may be terminated at any time by either party, with or without notice or cause.
b) You are only eligible to earn Commission Fees on Qualified Purchases occurring
during the Term. Commission Fees earned prior to the date of termination will be
eligible for Commission Fees only if the orders for the related Provider Services are
not cancelled within (30) days and comply with all the terms of this Agreement. We
may withhold your final payment of Commission Fees for a reasonable time to ensure
that all Qualified Purchases are valid and payment from Referred Customers are
legitimate as determined by the Provider in its sole discretion.
c) Any Affiliate who violates this Agreement, Provider’s Terms of Service, or any
applicable law or regulation will immediately forfeit any right to any and all accrued,
but not yet received, Commission Fees and will be immediately removed from the
Affiliate Program.
d) Provider reserves the right to remove an Affiliate from the Affiliate Program, and to
terminate or suspend this Agreement, at any time for any reason, in Provider’s sole
discretion. - Modification
We may modify this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion, and any modifications shall
take effect when posted on our website. Your continued participation in the Affiliate Program
following the posting of any modification on our website will constitute your binding
acceptance of the modified terms. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes
in the scope of Provider Services eligible for Commission Fees, Commission Fee amounts or
percentages, payment procedures, Commission Fee payment schedules, and Affiliate
Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate
this Agreement, in which event you shall be entitled to your rights under the unmodified
Agreement in effect prior to the date of the applicable modification. - Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Affiliate or
any Provider Services sold through the Affiliate Program (including, without limitation,
WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF THE COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING,
OR TRADE USAGE). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our
website will be uninterrupted or error free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of
any interruptions or errors, including the tracking of information concerning Referred
Customers during any period of interruption. - Relationship of Parties
You and Provider are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any
partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment
relationship between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or
representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your Affiliate Site
