Affiliate Program Operating Agreement
These terms and conditions (the "Agreement'), together with the schedules attached, and any amendments to those schedules, governs your participation as a member (the "Affiliate") of the Paysale.com Affiliate Network (the "Program"). The Affiliate covenants and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, and the schedules attached, as amended by Paysale.com ("Paysale.com") from time to time.
This Affiliate Program Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Paysale.com ("Paysale.com" or "we"), and you, ("you" or "Affiliate") the party submitting an application to become a Paysale.com affiliate). The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement apply to your participation with www.Paysale.com ("Affiliate Program"). Each Affiliate Program offer (an "Offer") may be for any offering by Paysale.com or a third party (each such third party a "Client") and may link to a specific web site for that particular Offer ("Program Web Site"). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms and conditions on pages within the Affiliate Program and are incorporated as part of this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, you expressly consent to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Enrollment in the Affiliate Program
You must submit an Affiliate Program application from our website. You must accurately complete the application to become an affiliate (and provide us with future updates) and not use any aliases or other means to mask your true identity or contact information. After we review your application, we will notify you of your acceptance or rejection to the Affiliate Program, generally within two (2) business days. We may accept or reject your application at our sole discretion for any reason.
Each Affiliate is required to provide Paysale.com with, at minimum, the following information:
- In the case of a natural person, the Affiliate's first and last name, physical address, country, telephone number, email address and complete bank account information as to where payments are to be made;
- In the case of a business entity, the Affiliate's name and any and all names under which it does business, state of incorporation, registered agent, and the first and last name, physical address, country, telephone number and email address for at least one natural person who owns, manages or controls the Affiliate, and complete bank account information as to where payments are to be made to the Affiliate.
Obligations of the Parties
Subject to our acceptance of you as an Affiliate and your continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Paysale.com agrees as follows:
- We will make available to you via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Program Web Site and/or other creative materials (collectively, the "Links") which you may display on web sites owned or controlled by you, in emails sent by you and clearly identified as coming from you and in online advertisements (collectively, "Media"). The Links will serve to identify you as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your Media to the Program Web Site.
- We will pay Affiliate for each Qualified Action (the "Commission"). A "Qualified Action" means an individual person who (i) accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Program Web Site, (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person, (iii) is not using pre-populated fields (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by Paysale.com and (v) is not later determined by Paysale.com to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified or a duplicate.
- We will pay you any Commissions earned monthly, provided that your account is currently greater than $100. Accounts with a balance of less than $100 will roll over to the next month, and will continue to roll over monthly until $100 is reached. We reserve the right to charge back to your account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
- Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to Paysale.com, and therefore, you agree that Paysale.com shall only be liable to you for Commissions to the extent that Paysale.com has received such funds from the Clients. You hereby release Paysale.com from any claim for Commissions if Paysale.com has not received such funds from the Clients.
- Paysale.com shall automatically generate an invoice on behalf of Affiliate for all Commissions payable under this Agreement and shall remit payment to Affiliate based upon that invoice. All tracking of Links and determinations of Qualified Actions and Commissions shall be made by Paysale.com in its sole discretion. In the event that Affiliate disputes in good faith any portion of an invoice, Affiliate must submit that dispute to Paysale.com in writing and in sufficient detail within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. If Affiliate does not dispute the invoice as set forth herein, then Affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims based upon that invoice. In the event that Affiliate is also tracking Qualified Actions and Affiliate claims a discrepancy, Affiliate must provide Paysale.com with Affiliate's reports within three (3) days after 30th day of the calendar month, and if Paysale.com's and Affiliate's reported statistics vary by more than 10% and Paysale.com reasonably determines that Affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then Paysale.com and Affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then Paysale.com's numbers shall govern.
- If Affiliate has an outstanding balance due to Paysale.com under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Affiliate and Paysale.com, whether or not related to the Affiliate Program, Affiliate agrees that Paysale.com may offset any such amounts due to Paysale.com from amounts payable to Affiliate under this Agreement.
Affiliate also agrees to:
- Be bound by, and specifically agree to, Paysale.com's Advertising and Marketing Content Policy ("AMCP"), which is incorporated herein by reference.
