CUSTOMER RELATIONS
During and after the Term, Getwebcraft shall be the exclusive owner of all relations created via You among Getwebcraft and Referrals with respect to the Getsitecontrol Service, including any and all information identifying Referrals who contract with Getwebcraft for the use of the Getsitecontrol Service. The Terms, Privacy policy, and Getwebcraft’s rules and procedures for the Getsitecontrol Service will apply to these Referrals and may be changed by Getwebcraft without prior notice to You, and You agree to convey to Referrals the nature of their relations with Getwebcraft under the Terms.
QUALIFIED REFERRALS, COMMISSIONS
“Qualified Referrals” mean Referrals (1) referred by You to Getwebcraft and who complete the Getsitecontrol sign-up procedure in accordance with the process described below; (2) who are not current registered Getsitecontrol users or in contractual relations or ongoing negotiations with Getwebcraft in connection with the Getsitecontrol Service; (3) who accept the Terms of service and (4) who are not rejected by Getsitecontrol, and create and activate at least one widget for their website using the Getsitecontrol Service within 30 days after registering an account.
Each Referral shall be referred to Getsitecontrol by Your custom referral link, custom referral banners (“Referral Links”), or custom discount coupon… Once You have signed up for the Program, You will be assigned a unique Referral Link. You are permitted to place Referral Links on Your Website, in Your emails, and in other communications. To permit accurate tracking of clicks on Referral Links, Getwebcraft will provide You with special link formats to be used in all Referral Links. You will earn Qualified Referrals only on Referrals who properly clicked on a functional Referral Link. Getwebcraft will not be liable to You with respect to any failure by You or a Referral to use Referral Links properly, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to You pursuant to this Agreement.
Referral Links must be configured exactly as found in Your affiliate account in order for Getwebcraft to track Referrals. Upon clicking on a Referral Link, a Referral shall be taken to the Site where they will have the opportunity to sign up for the Getsitecontrol service. Getwebcraft shall be responsible for the sales process to all Referrals, subject to the Parties’ continued good-faith cooperation in promoting the sales process to Referral.
The name of the discount coupon, the size of the discount, and its validity must be agreed with Getwebcraft. A user becomes a referral if they haven’t been a referral before and made their first purchase on the account using the discount coupon.
Getwebcraft shall collect all fees from Referrals for the Getsitecontrol Service directly from Referrals (“Subscription Fees”). Upon a Referral becoming a Qualified Referral, Getwebcraft shall pay You referral fees in arrears of thirty percent (30%) of Qualified Referral’s net monthly or annual Subscription Fees (subtracting any discount) within one year. Such Referral Fees shall become payable and be paid to You within thirty (30) days of the end of the calendar quarter in which Subscription Fees attributed to such Qualified Referrals are paid to Getwebcraft. In no event will any Referral Fees be due or paid to You before Getwebcraft has received payment for the corresponding Subscription Fees from Qualified Referral. Referral Fees will be void for Qualified Referrals who ask for refunds. If a Qualified Referral cancels their account or downgrades to a free package, You will not receive prorated Referral Fees for the current month. If a Qualified Referral uses discounts codes, or for any other reason, purchases the packages at a discounted price, the discount will be applied on Referral Fees.
Referral Fees will be paid as cash payments through PayPal. Referral Fees can only be credited once You have earned more than $10 in Referral Fees. If Your Referral Fees never cross the $10 threshold, You will not be able to collect Your Referral Fees.
Getwebcraft will only pay Referral Fees on Qualified Referrals that are automatically tracked and reported by Getwebcraft’s systems. Getwebcraft reserves the right to disqualify Referral Fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods or otherwise in breach of the Terms.
You shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, duties, governmental charges and other like charges levied on Referral Fees, and You shall indemnify, defend and hold Getwebcraft harmless from and against any claims arising out or relating to all charges emanating from Getwebcraft’s payment of Referral Fees.
TERMINATION
Getwebcraft, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other Getsitecontrol service, for any reason at any time. Such termination will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Affiliate Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or accrued referral fees in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. Getwebcraft reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
