Affiliate Terms and Conditions
1. General
These Terms and Conditions (the "Affiliate Agreement") govern the Affiliate Program that is made available by Website.com Solutions Inc. ("Website.com", "we" or "us"). These Terms and Conditions represent the whole agreement and understanding between Website.com and the individual or entity who participates in the Affiliate Program (the "Affiliate", or "you").
Please read this agreement careful as it represents a legally binding agreement between you and Website.com. By submitting your application and by your use of the Affiliate Program, you agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions set out in this Affiliate Agreement. Website.com may terminate your Affiliate Account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that is in breach of this Affiliate Agreement, for conduct that Website.com believes is harmful to its business, or for conduct where the use of the Affiliate Program is harmful to any other party.
2. Referral Tracking
Website.com will provide the Affiliate with specific Referral Links to link advertisements and other marketing content to Website.com. Website.com will track users who have visited these Referral Links using cookies which expire after 30 days. Only users who make a purchase while the cookie is active will be considered referrals of the Affiliate and recorded as such in the Affiliate Dashboard.
The Affiliate is not authorized to modify or alter the Referral Links or the cookies in any way. Website.com is not responsible for any tracking or reporting errors that may result from any modifications to the Referral Link or the cookies.
3. Affiliate Fees and Payouts
A referral will become eligible for payout ("Eligible Referral") at the end of the next calendar month if it meets all of these criteria:
The referral makes a purchase of a new Premium Plan subscription with a term that is one year or longer and has paid in full.
The referral's account remains active and in good standing.
The referral's account has not had any of its payments refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed.
All web page error requests (such as 403 errors or 404 errors) will direct traffic to a default Website.com error page. This error page informs visitors that the web page they are looking for cannot be found, and may include, but without limitation to, the following:
Links to additional products and services offered by Website.com.
Advertisements for products and services offered by third-parties.
An internet search engine interface.
Failure to meet any of these criteria will permanently void the referral and disqualify the referral from any potential payouts.
The Affiliate is entitled to receive a one-time payment $100.00 United States Dollars for each active Eligible Referral that is recorded in the Affiliate Dashboard ("Affiliate Fee"). Affiliate Fees will be payable only when the Affiliate has at least 3 Eligible Referrals that are pending payout.
All Affiliate Fee payments will be payable in United States Dollars only, except as otherwise determined by Website.com in its sole discretion. Payment will be made through PayPal against a valid invoice issued by the Affiliate using the invoice generation and submission tool located in the Affiliate Dashboard. The Affiliate is responsible for providing Website.com with the full and accurate details that are required to remit the Affiliate Fees, and is solely responsible for any delays in payment resulting from its failure to do so.
Referrals will become void, and any unpaid Affiliate Fees will be forfeited, after 12 calendar months.
In the event of any activity deemed suspicious by Website.com, Website.com may delay the payment of Affiliate Fees by up to 6 calendar months to verify the relevant transactions. Website.com reserves the right to recalculate, void, or disqualify any referrals or Affiliate Fees in the event of any fraudulent, deceptive or otherwise illegal activity.
Referrals for purchases made through Website.com promotional or special offers are not eligible for payout.
4. Advertisements
Website.com hereby grants the Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the Website.com logos for the sole purpose of promoting our service within the context of the Affiliate Program. This license will expire upon termination of the Affiliate's participation in the Affiliate Program.
The Affiliate may only display advertisements that contain Website.com's logos or service marks in good taste. The Affiliate may not use Website.com's logos or service marks in a manner that, in Website.com's sole discretion, portrays Website.com in negative light.
The Affiliate will be solely responsible for its own marketing activities. All marketing activities must be professional and in full compliance with all applicable laws.
Website.com may, without prior notice, require the Affiliate to remove or modify any advertisements in Website.com's sole discretion.
