Under this Agreement, Partnerize or any Associated Company may, on behalf of Partnerize:

By ticking the box below, Partner agrees to the terms of this Agreement, and warrants and represents that:

1. Sign-Up

1.1 Partner's application to become a Partner on an Advertiser Network may be approved in that Advertiser's sole discretion.

1.2 If Partner wishes to participate in a Campaign, Partner shall apply by supplying the requested information and following such other instructions as are stated in the Platform.

1.3 Partner's participation in a Campaign is at the sole discretion of the Advertiser who operates the Campaign. 1.4 If Advertiser approves Partner’s participation, Partner further agrees to be bound by any specific, reasonable conditions which Advertiser may impose from time to time in the Campaign Description for that Campaign.

(a) accepts no responsibility for the content of the Campaign Description; and

(b) will not be a party to any agreement between Partner and Advertiser based on the Campaign Description unless otherwise agreed in writing,

therefore, Partner acknowledges that the Advertiser Network and Campaigns are the responsibility of Advertisers and not Partnerize.

2. Referral Tracking

2.1 Partnerize shall create Links and supply these to Partner which allow Partnerize and Partnerize's partners (including Advertisers) to track Referrals.

2.2 Partner must implement the Links in the Site in accordance with Partnerize's reasonable instructions, maintain them during the Term and in accordance with clause 17.4(b) as fully operational, and ensure they are updated in accordance with Partnerize's reasonable instructions.

2.3 Partner's delay in or failure to implement, operate and maintain Links correctly may cause Referrals not to be identified, and no Commission shall be payable to Partner in respect of such unidentifiable Referrals.

3. IP Licenses, Branding and Ownership

3.1 Except where agreed otherwise in writing, each Party grants the other a non-exclusive, revocable, sublicensable, royalty-free license, to use, reproduce and display its respective Intellectual Property solely for the purposes of providing the Services and operating the Campaigns in which Partner participates.

3.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer any interest or ownership in any rights to Intellectual Property of one Party to the other.

4. Commission

4.1 In return for Partner implementing Links in the Site, Partnerize shall pay Commission in respect of Referrals that result in Approved Transactions.

5. Payment.

5.1 Subject to Clause 5.4, Partnerize will make funds available to Partner for Commissions no more than one UK working day after:

(a) Partnerize has received cleared funds from Advertiser; (b) Partnerize has been instructed by Advertiser to use such funds for the payment of such Commissions; and (c) Partner has provided its correct, accurate and complete payment details and tax information and any other information reasonably requested by Partnerize.

5.2 Partner releases Partnerize from any claim for Commissions if Partnerize has not received the corresponding funds and payment instructions from Advertisers.

5.3 Commissions shall be payable to Partner once Partner has earned aggregate Commissions from all applicable Advertisers above the following minimum payment thresholds: £20/US$30/€30 per currency per month. A payment matrix of minimum threshold amounts is available on request for all other currencies. For the avoidance of doubt, Commissions earned below such threshold in any month shall be carried forward to the following month.

5.4 Subject to Clause 5.3, Partner expressly acknowledges and agrees that if Partner does not draw down their funds or provide sufficient information via the Platform for Partnerize to electronically transfer funds to Partner, the following process shall apply:

(a) If (i) Partner has not generated any Commissions, as tracked and recorded within the Platform, within any consecutive 12 month period, and (ii) Partner has failed to generate a self-bill and draw down funds within 12 months from the date that the funds are made available, then the Partner account shall be immediately classified as dormant (“Dormant Account “) and may be subject to a Maintenance Fee as further described in Clause 5.4(b) below.

(b) Partnerize reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for the maintenance of a Dormant Account based on Partnerize’s then prevailing rates according to the schedule contained herein (the “Maintenance Fee”). Maintenance Fees shall be deducted from Partner’s account balance retroactively from the point a Partner account was deemed to be a Dormant Account and monthly thereafter, in arrears, in accordance with the Maintenance Fee Schedule below:

Maintenance Fee Schedule: The Maintenance Fee shall be calculated as follows: a) If the aggregate account balance is greater than $100 USD on a converted basis, a monthly fee of the lessor of (i) $50 USD, or (ii) 10% of the outstanding balance shall be assessed; b) If the aggregate account balance is less than $100 USD on a converted basis, a monthly fee of $10 USD shall be assessed; and, c) If the aggregate account balance is less than $10 USD on a converted basis, or the account remains inactive/dormant for a period of 24 consecutive months, a Maintenance Fee equivalent to the full remaining balance will be assessed. Note(s): Maintenance Fees will not be charged if the Partner account balance reaches $0. United States Dollars (USD) will be the standard monetary value used to calculate Maintenance Fees even if the currency used to calculate Partner’s Commission differs.

5.5 Without prejudice to any other remedy Partnerize may have in respect of Partner’s participation in Unethical Activities, Partnerize reserves the right to claim back any funds paid in respect of any related Approved Transactions which are determined to be as a result of or related to Unethical Activities. In circumstances where Partner is paid Commission which is not rightfully due including, but not limited to overpayments, mistaken payments, payments which result from or involve fraud, Partnerize reserves the right to claw back such Commissions. Partnerize will consult with Partner regarding any claw back and resultant repayment terms.

5.6 In compliance with any law, regulation or government direction affecting Partnerize or an Associated Company, Partnerize reserves the right to withhold payment to Partner if any of the following are located in a country subject to international sanctions:

(i) billing address; (ii) bank account; (iv) trading address. (iii) IP address; or

5.7 Partnerize shall send a request for invoice document to Partner stating the Commission due to Partner. Partner shall then issue a GST invoice to Partnerize based on the request for invoice. Partnerize shall only release payment to Partner on the proviso that the invoice from Partner accurately matches the corresponding request for invoice. Partner is required to keep Partnerize updated with current information relating to Partner's tax status (including but not limited to tax registration status, postal address and organisation name), and to ensure the payment details in the Platform are correct at all times.

5.8 Partnerize will not be responsible for any mis-payment or return of Commission where Partner has submitted incorrect bank details to Partnerize.

5.9 Where the transfer of funds to Partner incurs bank charges, Partnerize reserves the right to pass on such charges to Partner.

5.10 All Commissions payable shall be paid in the currency in which they are received from the Advertisers. Where Partner requests payment in another currency, any cost of currency conversion or losses caused by exchange rate fluctuations will be borne by the Partner.

5.11 Partnerize reserves the right to reject submitted account changes that are in violation of this Agreement.

1.4 promotion by unsolicited email;

1.5 mimicking the action of a Partner link click which results in a cookie being stored on a User's machine which could later lead to the conversion of a sale to said Partner; or

1.6 promoting, distributing or otherwise publishing any content that includes content on the Site, which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, fraudulent or violates any law.

  2. Each Partner must specify the URLs it will use to track Transactions as part of the sign up process via the Platform ("Authorised URLs"). Partnerize may ignore Transactions entered into via URLs other than Authorised URLs and/or withhold Commission in respect of them.
