Coupons are intended to be used by the Affiliate exclusively on their website(s) or in their legitimate marketing communications.
5. Tracking Cookies
We use cookies to track affiliate sales. When a customer clicks on your affiliate link, the tracking cookies are stored in the customer’s browser. The cookies will remain in the customer’s browser for thirty (30) days or until the customer clears their cookies.
The affiliate commission will be credited to the last affiliate link the customer clicked before making a purchase. Commissions shall not be shared between Affiliates.
The Company bears no responsibility if the customer has deleted their browser cookies either intentionally or unintentionally. No Affiliate commission will be paid for tracking errors of any kind, including, without limitation, any tracking errors caused by Affiliate’s editing, masking or tampering with links.
6. Commissions
The affiliate is eligible for recurring commissions till the time affiliate’s referred customer stays an active customer and keeps on renewing their subscription.
The recurring commission that the affiliate would be eligible for would be 25% of the amount paid by the customer for the continuation of services.
The Affiliate expressly agrees that commission is paid based on the price paid by the customer exclusive of VAT or any other tax or fee.
The commission rate is subject to change without prior notification at any time or from time to time, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. The Affiliate will be notified of any change in the commission rate.
7. Commission Payments
We process commission payments once per month in the first week of every month.
Payment shall be only be made if total pending commission balance of the Affiliate’s is more than $25. If the balance of commissions due is less than $25 the balance shall remain in the Affiliate’s account until the next payment cycle in which the balance of commissions due exceeds $25.
Subscriptions where no income is realized for any reason, including but not limited to credit card fraud, bad debts, cancellations, chargebacks, and credits for returned hosting services, are not eligible for a commission.
Affiliate commissions are paid out via bank transfer and you are responsible for any and all transaction fees.
You agree to ensure that your information, including, but not limited to, your name, email address, bank account information, and any other details we may require are kept up to date.

We are not responsible if you provide incorrect payment information and cannot guarantee the ability to resend payments due to errors in the payment information you provided.
You are also responsible for all taxes and reporting requirements in connection with your affiliate commissions.
8. Fraud Policy
Affiliates found to have knowingly referred fraudulent customers shall be removed from the Affiliate Program immediately and all commissions earned by the Affiliate shall be forfeited.
Fraudulent customers referred without the Affiliate’s knowledge of the referred customer’s fraudulent activity shall not be cause for removal of the Affiliate from the Affiliate Program. However, future commission payments to the Affiliate shall be adjusted to reflect the income lost due to fraud committed by the referred customer.
Should we identify a pattern or unusually high frequency of fraudulent activity committed by an Affiliate’s referred customers, we will take appropriate action such as advising the Affiliate to modify practices which are attracting fraudulent customers or terminating the Affiliate’s membership in the Affiliate Program.
If fraud is detected and we return funds to the victim of said fraud, commissions payable to the Affiliate shall be recalculated retroactively.
