2. Referral FeesÂ
2.1. Payment of Fees
-  Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Partner Program, You will be assigned one or more unique Partner URLs that You will use to advertise Paul Rodden’s services and products. When another person (a “Prospect”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Prospect’s browser. When the Prospect creates a Affiliate Partner account by using Your Affiliate Partner URL, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.” In the event that a Prospect has multiple Partner Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Partner is credited with a Sale. In the event that a Sold Account later upgrades its Paul Rodden account, such upgrade will be credited to the Partner that was the original referring Partner, despite the fact that such update may have come through a different Partner account.
-  Subject to Partner’s compliance with this Agreement, You will be entitled to a referral fee for each Sold Account that generates a payment to Paul Rodden monthly or annually. The referral fee amount is 50% of all fees received by Paul Rodden for a Sold Account (the “Referral Fees”). Payments of any Referral Fees will be made 30 days after Paul Rodden’s receipt of such payments. Payments will be made on 15th or 25th of the month following the expiration of the 30 days.
-  Referral Fees are paid only for transactions that actually occur between Paul Rodden and a Prospect. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale is not actually received by Paul Rodden, You will not be paid a Referral Fee on the transaction. If a referral does not link or attach to Your Partner account within 30 days from such referral’s subscribing to Paul Rodden’s services or products, such referral will not be deemed Your Sold Account and You will not be entitled to any Referral Fees from such referral. In order for an account to be linked to your Affiliate account, a referral must either use your affiliate link directly or reach out to [email protected] within those first 30 days requesting to be linked. If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a Referral Fee was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then the applicable Referral Fee will be deducted from any future Referral Fees. If Paul Rodden determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, in addition to Paul Rodden’s rights under Section 3.1, no Referral Fees will be paid to You for such Sale, or if such violation or fraud is discovered by Paul Rodden after payment, such amounts shall be deducted from any future Referral Fees. A referral may request at any time to be removed from Your Partner Account and upon such request, You will no longer be entitled to receive any Referral Fees for such referral.
- Â No Referral Fees will be paid on any Sold Account that is an affiliated business of the applicable Partner.
-  Prospects that are referred to Paul Rodden through a customer account that is not a participant in the Affiliate Partner Program will receive an email notification from Paul Rodden inviting them to join the Affiliate Program. Referral Fees from such referrals will be paid if the customer joins the Partner Program within two (2) months of such notification. If the customer does not join the Partner Program within such two (2) month period, such Referral Fees will be forfeited even if such customer later joins the Partner Program.Â
- Â Commission is only paid on the first transaction made by the prospect introduced through your partner affiliate link. Any other purchases made by the prospect no commission will be paid hence forth.Â
2.2. Partner Representations; Taxes
- Â Partner hereby represents and warrants to Company that You are engaged in an independent business enterprise, and that You have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate Partner's business, if any, such as licensing, tax and other business operation requirements.
- Â You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including without limitation income tax liabilities that arise from or in any way relate to any Referral Fees You receive from Paul Rodden. If You are not a resident of the Australia, Paul Rodden may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT GST) where required to by applicable law. Where Paul Rodden is required to withhold tax, Paul Rodden will document such withholding.
2.3. Inventory Loading/Rebates
Partner will not be paid any Referral Fees for payments made on Your own User Account(s). Partner is not permitted to open a Paul Rodden account under the name of another person or entity, or under a fictitious name. Partner is not permitted to open a Paul Rodden account under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Referral Fees or any other compensation, including without limitation incentives or prizes that may be offered from time to time. Partner may not pay for another person’s account. Partner is not permitted to refer itself or any affiliated business. Partner is not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to actual or potential Sales. Violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and You agree to repay to Paul Rodden all Referral Fees earned as a result of any such violation.
‍3. Termination
3.1. Termination
- Â Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon notice to another Party.
