By signing up to be an Affiliate in the Template Websites Affiliate Program (“Program”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”).
Template Websites reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Any new features that enhance the current Program, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account and the forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments earned during the violation. You agree to use the Affiliate Program at your own risk.
Account Terms
· You must be 18 years or older to be part of this Program.
· You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
· You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process.
· Your login may only be used by one person – a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted.
· You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Template Websites cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
· You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account.
· One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account.
· You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
· You may not use the Affiliate Program to earn money on your own Template Websites product accounts.
Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications
Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a Unique Affiliate Link (URL). You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Link on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with graphical artwork to use in linking to Template Websites. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won’t change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with Unique Affiliate Link formats to be used in all links between your site and the Template Websites. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Template Websites properly utilizes such Unique Affiliate Link formats. Links to the Template Websites placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such Unique Affiliate Link formats are referred to as “Unique Affiliate Link.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Template Websites product occurring directly through your Unique Affiliate Link; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use your Unique Affiliate Link or incorrectly type your Unique Affiliate Link, 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.
Affiliate links should point to the page of the product being promoted.
Eligible Referral Fees
For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click through a Unique Affiliate Link from your site, email, or other communications to Template Websites and complete an order for a paid product during that session.
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered the URL manually if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted Unique Affiliate Links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
You are not permitted to sign up for Template Websites through your own Unique Affiliate Link. If we detect any self-referrals, your account will be permanently banned and any commission earned will be forfeited.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Commissions and Payment
Affiliate Payouts only begin once you’ve earned more than $50 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $50 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $50 threshold due to a minimum transfer requirement on our account.
Once you have reached the minimum $50 USD payout threshold your commission will be validated, and your payment will be sent to your preferred payment method (PayPal or Wise). Earnings for each month are always paid out between 60-90 days to allow for any potential account refunds. For example, earnings from January would be paid out in April.
We pay you via PayPal or Wise. You choose inside your Affiliate account settings.
Our standard affiliate payout fee is 15% of all Template Websites Hosting Subscriptions, both monthly and annual. You are paid lifetime commissions as long as the customer pays, we pay you.
Tracking Cookies
When a potential Template Websites customer clicks on an Affiliate Link, a tracking cookie will be stored by the web browser. The tracking cookie will have a validity of 90 days. During those 90 days if the potential Template Websites customer clicks on a different Affiliate Link while using the same web browser, a new cookie will not be placed and the original cookie will be retained.
Tracking cookies are stored by individual web browsers. If a potential Template Websites customer clicks on different Affiliate Links using different web browsers, each web browser will store a tracking cookie associated with the Affiliate Link that was accessed within that web browser. At signup, the Referred Customer will be assigned to the Affiliate whose Affiliate Link is identified by the tracking cookie stored by the web browser used by the Referred Customer to sign up.
The affiliate is not allowed to use any techniques that set the tracking cookie without the user actually clicking on the referral link.
The affiliate is responsible for making sure that their links are working correctly after making any changes to them. Referral fees may not be paid for tracking errors caused by editing, masking, redirecting, or tampering with Unique Affiliate Links, as determined at the sole discretion of Template Websites.
Identifying yourself as a Template Websites Affiliate
You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Template Websites or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).
No Paid Advertising
You are not allowed to run any search engine ads (especially on branded terms or domain names), Facebook ads, or other ads that would compete with our own marketing and potentially cause confusion for customers. We reserve the right to terminate your account if we detect any such activity.
Customer definition
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
Your responsibilities
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
Compliance with Laws
As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program participant. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in the Program you will comply with all applicable laws (federal, state or otherwise) that govern marketing email, including without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.
Term of the Agreement and Program
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to TemplateWebsites.co, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. Template Websites reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon program termination, Template Websites will pay any outstanding earnings accrued above $50.
Termination
Template Websites, 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 Template Websites service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. Template Websites reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
Relationship of Parties
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
Limitations of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of the Template Websites will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
Independent Investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEBSITE. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
Arbitration
Any dispute relating in any way to this Agreement (including any actual or alleged breach hereof), any transactions or activities under this Agreement or your relationship with us or any of our affiliates shall be submitted to confidential arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court (and you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts) or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules of Queensland, Australia. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
The failure of Template Websites to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Template Websites and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Template Websites (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
