Affiliate Program
Participation
When joining the program, and upon our approval, you will be appointed as a non-exclusive affiliate, and you shall act to refer new potential customers to purchase our products and services. As our affiliate, you may not present yourself as a part of DailyWritingTips, and may not create any obligation on our behalf.
Your participation is personal, meaning that you cannot have sub-affiliates or share your affiliate fees with anyone else.
If we believe that your promotional material is problematic, offensive, illegal or otherwise objectionable, we may terminate your participation in the program.
You represent and warrant that you are able to participate in the program, that you will only act in a legal, bona fide manner and that you will not infringe on any intellectual property right or act in any deceptive practice when participating in it.
Promotional Material
We reserve all our Intellectual Property Rights; and we provide our affiliates a limited, temporary, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable license to use our trademark, brand name, and promotional materials, and such license is limited only to the use in promoting our products and services.
Termination
We reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time, by providing you with notice of such termination (to the email account with which you applied to the Program), and with immediate effect. When we terminate our relationship, you must cease using all of our intellectual property.
In any case we suspect any breach of these terms, we may also suspend your affiliate code until we receive sufficient evidence from you that shows that no breach of these terms occurred. In such a case, we may require review of your books and records prior to reinstatement.
Upon termination due to breach (save for termination due to inactivity), we shall retain all funds in your account.
In case we believe that your account is inactive, meaning it did not earn any commission or receive any visits using your referral link, then we may decide to close down your account. In such a case, your pending balance, We will not use this right without providing you notice of at least 14 days, allowing you the time to market and promote your referral links and restore your “active” status.
Commission
Each affiliate will be provided with a fixed affiliate commission that we will notify in writing. Affiliation programs may be time limited or limited by the amount of discounts used using the affiliate code.
We pay our commission for qualified leads; a qualified lead is a new customer, who subscribed to our service within a certain duration of days of first clicking a link you placed, and who made a purchase using our services. We will not pay a commission for self-dealing, i.e using the affiliate program to get discounts.
The commission shall be calculated out of our net revenues from your qualified leads, which means our total revenues, minus taxes, chargebacks, cancellations, coupons, bad debt, collection costs, clearing costs and payments made in order to collect the payment.
The means of tracking your qualified leads shall be by placing a link that includes your tracking tags, pixels, and code we provide you.
You agree that our books and records are deemed as accurate and that our tracking is final.
Payment
We pay our affiliates on a periodic basis when their commissions reach a minimum threshold that we determine and post on our website. The payment shall be made via PayPal or any other method we agree upon.
Until the payment is made, the sums specified on your account are not considered debt, and shall not be paid until you reach that threshold.
You shall bear all taxes and expenses relating to the payment, including any fees which may be incurred by your bank.
You are required by law to provide us with an invoice upon payment.
If we provide a qualified lead with a refund, then we may deduct the commission from your future payment, or request that you return such fees. You also agree that we may offset any sums that you may owe us from any future payments.
Each party shall bear its own expenses, and the commission you are entitled to is the sole payment you receive in relation to your services.
Bad Practices
We consider the following as “bad practices” which are prohibited and will cause automatic termination of your participation in this program, as well as forfeiture of all sums you are entitled to.
Please note that if at any time we believe that you acted in bad faith or illegally, we may also cancel your participation and withhold all payments.
The following are considered bad practices: (i) using deceptive practices, encouraging users to click banners or use of any automated means to create traffic; (ii) presenting yourself as a part of DailyWritingTips; (iii) using the DailyWritingTips brand as a part of your domain name, website name, banners or in any form of paid advertising (for example, PPC campaigns); (iv) using domain names that imply any link to the DailyWritingTips brand including the word “One”, “Submit” or similar sounding, looking or typed names; (v) spamming; (vi) buying traffic; (vii) using paid search or keyword advertising using our Intellectual Property Rights or brand name to drive traffic to your site or to the banners; (viii) offering coupons or discounts without our consent; (ix) offering others a part of your commission; (x) using words like “deal”, “sale” or “discount” in a deceptive manner or in a way stating that there is any discount, rebate, cash-back or other reduced payment for the services when there isn’t.
All websites which you use to promote DailyWritingTips must have a prominent privacy policy, which is acceptable under the relevant privacy protection laws, as well as provide a prominent notice on the collection of data made by us using the tag, pixel, and code.
This list is non-exhaustive, and we may block any practice that we believe is bad and terminate or suspend your account due to it. Bad Practices also include any illegal or unauthorized advertising, infringing intellectual property rights, invading users’ privacy, or otherwise using any advertising in violation of local laws and regulations.
Confidentiality
Our relationship is confidential; meaning that your commission is confidential, the fact that we paid you is not. You should add a decent disclosure if required by law that you receive a commission for every click on our banner, but you should not tell others what your specific commission is.
