Once you complete an application to become an Affiliate, we will review your application and notify you whether you have been accepted to participate in the Affiliate Program, or not. Before we accept an application, we may want to review your application with you, so we may reach out to you for more information.

4. Commission Eligibility Requirements


a. Affiliate Program Limits.


We will pay you Commission for each new Customer upon commencement of their Subscription and on

a monthly recurring basis thereafter for twenty-four (24) months provided they maintain their

Subscription with Us. You will continue to receive commission so long as the Customer remains a

Customer subscribed to a Commissionable Plan and provided that you remain eligible to receive

Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The start of the Customer’s subscription is

determined by the date of the first purchase or sign up (as applicable) of the Subscription Service by the

Customer and you will receive a Commission payment for that Customer Transaction only, regardless of

any additional purchases made by that Customer during their relationship with Us.

Your Commission will be paid on the same schedule the Customer pays. For example, if the Customer

pays monthly, you’ll be paid the Commission monthly. If they pay annually, you will be paid annually. If

at all possible with the Customer’s Commissionable Plan, if the Customer upgrades or downgrades, your

commission will match the new payment accordingly.


b. Eligibility. To be eligible for Commission


1. an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Acceptance and Validity’ section,

2. A Customer Transaction must have occurred, and

3. Customer must remain a customer for at least 30 days on a monthly plan and 60 days on an annual

plan


c. Exclusion from Eligibility for Commission


You are not eligible to receive Commission or any other compensation from us based on transactions for

Other Products or if:

(i)) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United

States or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction;

(ii) the applicable Customer reasonably objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such

compensation from its payments to us;

(iii) the Customer has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to

you, or

(iv) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in

violation of any Affiliate Program Policies that we make available to you, misuse of the Affiliate Tool

(Partnero) or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Affiliate Program.


d. Compensation and Affiliate Competition


In competitive situations with other affiliates, we may elect to provide the Commission to the affiliate

that we deem to be the most eligible for Commission, at our discretion. In most circumstances, if a

potential customer has multiple affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently-acquired Cookie will

determine which affiliate is credited with the Customer Transaction. We may discontinue Commission

payments should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection fail to be met at any time.


e. Cookie Duration.


The cookie duration for the purposes of this Affiliate Program will be 60 days. This means if an Affiliate

Lead clicks your Affiliate Link and becomes a Customer within 60 days, you will receive a Commission for

referring them, provided all requirements for commission payment being made to you, including those

in this Agreement, have been met.


f. Discount.


We may, in our sole discretion, allow the use of discounting by You for the purpose of affiliate lead

generation. Should discounting be offered it will be facilitated through the use of a discount coupon

system that You will be able to offer to Affiliate Leads to incentivize them to become Customers.


g. Acceptance and Validity.


You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any Customer Transactions that derived from

Affiliate Leads generated by the Affiliate Link that we make available to You and that are accepted by Us.

An Affiliate Lead will be considered valid and accepted if, in our reasonable determination:


(i) it is a new potential customer of ours, and

(ii) is not, at the time of submission or within forty-five (45) days prior, one of our pre-existing

customers, or involved in our active sales process.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept an Affiliate Lead in our reasonable

discretion. If an Affiliate Lead does not purchase the Subscription Service within Sixty (60) days of their

first click on the Affiliate Link, you will not be eligible for a Commission payment, even if the Affiliate

Lead decides to purchase after the time period has expired. An Affiliate Lead is not considered valid if its

first click on the Affiliate Link is after this Agreement has expired or terminated.


5. Commission and Payment


(a) Once you earn Commission payments of $20 (USD) in order to receive payment under this

Agreement, You must have:


(i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) completed all steps necessary to create your account in Partnero in accordance with our directions;

(iii) have a valid and up-to-date payment method in our payment provider Stripe; and

(iv) completed any and all required tax documentation in order for the Payment Processor (Stripe) to

process any payments that may be owed to You.


(b). Requirements for Payment; Forfeiture.


Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Customer does not

remain in good standing with Us (to be determined in our sole discretion) for thirty (30) days

immediately following the close of a Customer Transaction, then your right to receive Commission

arising from any and all Customer Transactions with the associated Customer will be forever forfeited

(each, a “Forfeited Transaction”). We will have no obligation to pay You Commission associated with a

Forfeited Transaction.


Furthermore, if a Customer from which you’ve received a Commission later receives a refund or

chargeback, then the Commission will be recouped from any future Commissions you receive from other

Customers.


(c). Commission Payment. All Commissions are based on the amount of fees received by Company, less

sales taxes. We or Partnero will determine the currency in which We pay the Commission, as well as the

applicable conversion rate. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar

referral fee on any given Customer Transaction (unless we choose to in our discretion). You must earn at

least $20 in Commission before you are eligible to receive payment under this Agreement. Commission

will be an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the subscription price of the Commissionable Plan

purchased by a Customer.


(d). Taxes and Fees. You are responsible for payment of all taxes and fees (including bank fees)

applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any

amounts owed by you to us. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted

from your Commission payment.


(e). Commission Amounts. We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount at any time.

Before we accept an application, we may want to review your application with you, so we may reach out to you for more information.

4. Commission Eligibility Requirements


a. Affiliate Program Limits.


We will pay you Commission for each new Customer upon commencement of their Subscription and on

a monthly recurring basis thereafter for twenty-four (24) months provided they maintain their

Subscription with Us. You will continue to receive commission so long as the Customer remains a

Customer subscribed to a Commissionable Plan and provided that you remain eligible to receive

Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The start of the Customer’s subscription is

determined by the date of the first purchase or sign up (as applicable) of the Subscription Service by the

Customer and you will receive a Commission payment for that Customer Transaction only, regardless of

any additional purchases made by that Customer during their relationship with Us.

Your Commission will be paid on the same schedule the Customer pays. For example, if the Customer

pays monthly, you’ll be paid the Commission monthly. If they pay annually, you will be paid annually. If

at all possible with the Customer’s Commissionable Plan, if the Customer upgrades or downgrades, your

commission will match the new payment accordingly.


b. Eligibility. To be eligible for Commission


1. an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Acceptance and Validity’ section,

2. A Customer Transaction must have occurred, and

3. Customer must remain a customer for at least 30 days on a monthly plan and 60 days on an annual

plan


c. Exclusion from Eligibility for Commission


You are not eligible to receive Commission or any other compensation from us based on transactions for

Other Products or if:

(i)) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United

States or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction;

(ii) the applicable Customer reasonably objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such

compensation from its payments to us;

(iii) the Customer has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to

you, or

(iv) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in

violation of any Affiliate Program Policies that we make available to you, misuse of the Affiliate Tool

(Partnero) or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Affiliate Program.


d. Compensation and Affiliate Competition


In competitive situations with other affiliates, we may elect to provide the Commission to the affiliate

that we deem to be the most eligible for Commission, at our discretion. In most circumstances, if a

potential customer has multiple affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently-acquired Cookie will

determine which affiliate is credited with the Customer Transaction. We may discontinue Commission

payments should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection fail to be met at any time.


e. Cookie Duration.


The cookie duration for the purposes of this Affiliate Program will be 60 days. This means if an Affiliate

Lead clicks your Affiliate Link and becomes a Customer within 60 days, you will receive a Commission for

referring them, provided all requirements for commission payment being made to you, including those

in this Agreement, have been met.


f. Discount.


We may, in our sole discretion, allow the use of discounting by You for the purpose of affiliate lead

generation. Should discounting be offered it will be facilitated through the use of a discount coupon

system that You will be able to offer to Affiliate Leads to incentivize them to become Customers.


g. Acceptance and Validity.


You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any Customer Transactions that derived from

Affiliate Leads generated by the Affiliate Link that we make available to You and that are accepted by Us.

An Affiliate Lead will be considered valid and accepted if, in our reasonable determination:


(i) it is a new potential customer of ours, and

(ii) is not, at the time of submission or within forty-five (45) days prior, one of our pre-existing

customers, or involved in our active sales process.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept an Affiliate Lead in our reasonable

discretion. If an Affiliate Lead does not purchase the Subscription Service within Sixty (60) days of their

first click on the Affiliate Link, you will not be eligible for a Commission payment, even if the Affiliate

Lead decides to purchase after the time period has expired. An Affiliate Lead is not considered valid if its

first click on the Affiliate Link is after this Agreement has expired or terminated.


5. Commission and Payment


(a) Once you earn Commission payments of $20 (USD) in order to receive payment under this

Agreement, You must have:


(i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) completed all steps necessary to create your account in Partnero in accordance with our directions;

(iii) have a valid and up-to-date payment method in our payment provider Stripe; and

(iv) completed any and all required tax documentation in order for the Payment Processor (Stripe) to

process any payments that may be owed to You.


(b). Requirements for Payment; Forfeiture.


Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Customer does not

remain in good standing with Us (to be determined in our sole discretion) for thirty (30) days

immediately following the close of a Customer Transaction, then your right to receive Commission

arising from any and all Customer Transactions with the associated Customer will be forever forfeited

(each, a “Forfeited Transaction”). We will have no obligation to pay You Commission associated with a

Forfeited Transaction.


Furthermore, if a Customer from which you’ve received a Commission later receives a refund or

chargeback, then the Commission will be recouped from any future Commissions you receive from other

Customers.


(c). Commission Payment. All Commissions are based on the amount of fees received by Company, less

sales taxes. We or Partnero will determine the currency in which We pay the Commission, as well as the

applicable conversion rate. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar

referral fee on any given Customer Transaction (unless we choose to in our discretion). You must earn at

least $20 in Commission before you are eligible to receive payment under this Agreement. Commission

will be an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the subscription price of the Commissionable Plan

purchased by a Customer.


(d). Taxes and Fees. You are responsible for payment of all taxes and fees (including bank fees)

applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any

amounts owed by you to us. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted

from your Commission payment.


(e). Commission Amounts. We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount at any time.
