2.7. Affiliate Sales & Tracking: After signing up for the affiliate program, you will receive a unique affiliate URL which you will use to advertise the website. When someone clicks through this URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology) will be set in their browser with your Affiliate ID and their IP address may also be logged with your Affiliate ID. During that visit to the website or any later visit, when a purchase is made or refunded, the commission will be given based on the existence of the cookie. We may collect, use and share any information or data generated through the system for our business purposes. In order to receive proper credit for sales, a person or entity must purchase through your unique affiliate URL. Masking or cloaking of the links (whether done by software or by a script and sometimes referred to as “affiliate link cloaking”) may or may not work with parts of the website. The Program Operator allows masking or cloaking but you must provide a repeatable process for our verification of the cloaked link, otherwise the use of the masked or cloaked link is disallowed. We may also withhold payment if, in our reasonable discretion, we have reason to believe that acts or omissions by you related to our Affiliate Program are fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise improper or in violation of this agreement.

If you also have a involve.me user account and the email address associated with your affiliate account matches the one used for the involve.me account, you can access and view this information also within your involve.me account by going to /affiliate.

3. Commissions & Referral Fees

Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, you will receive a commission for sending authorized sales via your affiliate links. Payout rates may be changed at anytime and can be viewed via your affiliate account on the affiliate platform. It is your responsibility to determine if the payout for a link you have placed has been changed or discontinued. involve.me uses a third party to handle all affiliate tracking. All disputes regarding whether a commission is due shall be resolved by Program Operator’s reasonable discretion.

Commissions on products and services are paid at the most-current rates as indicated on the website, as updated from time to time.

ATTENTION: If the account referred has not been created through your custom affiliate link we cannot attribute the commission to you and cannot issue any payouts for that account. Please make sure all accounts you refer are created through your custom affiliate link.

3.1 Commission Schedule
Commissions are paid out within the first fifteen (15) business days of each calendar month for sales which have been locked sixty (60) days after the transaction date, but only if Affiliate’s account has a minimum balance of $20 at that point. Subsequent commission payments will continue to be paid out within the same subsequent schedule model.

To issue a payout, Affiliate must send an invoice to the Project Operator with the specific amount.

Commissions are not paid for any sales for which payment has not been received, or for any transaction that has been rejected for any reason. We are not responsible for paying interest to Affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered commission payments.

If a transaction incurs a charge-back or refund, or if an online transaction is not completed in every way, or if we have reason to believe a transaction is fraudulent or violates any of the terms of this Agreement in our reasonable discretion, no commission shall be paid to the Affiliate for such transaction. If a commission has already been paid, then it will be deducted from an active Affiliate’s future commissions or Affiliate will be required to pay involve.me within sixty (60) days of receiving an invoice from involve.me.

All commissions are paid in US Dollars via PayPal or bank transfer, on a case by case basis. Each Affiliate is responsible for always maintaining a PayPal and/or bank account account through which they receive their commissions/referral fees. The Program Operator assumes no responsibility for an Affiliate not maintaining their PayPal account. In the case of EUR based subscriptions, Affiliate will receive ¢30 (Dollar Cents) for each €1 (EURO) in sales. If you fail to setup a PayPal account and Program Operator is unable to pay you after one hundred-twenty (120) days after you have earned commissions or referral fees because of such failure, then you waive, and agree that you shall not be paid for, any such commissions or referral fees.

3.2. Payment Processor Fees
All commissions are calculated based on the gross transaction, including all sales, refunds and charge- backs. “Gross transaction” means that processor fees are not deducted from the base amount when calculating commissions.

3.3. Unauthorized Charging or Receipt of Payments Through the Website
No Affiliate, or other person or entity may use the Program Operator’s website, or the Program Operator payment processing system, for private transactions. Any revenue collected through the Program Operator’s website or through the Program Operator payment processing system may become the sole property of the Program Operator.

Specifically, Affiliates may not link to the Program Operator’s website for processing of products or services that are not wholly sponsored by the Program Operator and authorized by the Program Operator and further, may not link to the Program Operator’s website for processing of any products beyond what the Program Operator has identified as salable products for the website and specific Affiliate sales.

Should any Affiliate of the Program Operator or other person or entity construct links that process orders through the Program Operator’s payment processing system, the act will be considered an attack of computing resources with intent to damage the website and therefore treated as a serious computer crime. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

4. Income Tax Liabilities

Each Affiliate acts as an independent contractor and as such is responsible for any or all national, state, or foreign income taxes, fees, and any other tax liabilities that affect or concern the sales of the products or services, in your state or location. It is the Affiliate’s sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of the Program Operator, to take any steps necessary to recover these sums under the any applicable tax code and other applicable laws.

5. Promotion Restrictions

While you are free to market involve.me on your own web site, the promotion of the involve.me brand could be perceived to the public as a joint effort. Please be aware certain forms of advertising are prohibited by involve.me. Affiliates are prohibited from taking any action that could be consider impersonating the Program Operator or violating the Program Operator’s intellectual property rights in order to earn commissions or referral fees. This explicitly includes, but in no way is limited to, purchasing keyword advertisements and impersonating the Program Operator in such advertisement.
Affiliates agree to abide by the following guidelines when planning your marketing efforts:

5.1. Links, Trademarks and Logos
Program Operator grants you a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free license for the duration of this agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals to Program Operator’s website, products and services, to post certain trademarks, logos, URLs, and other materials or intellectual property that Program Operator may provide to you from time to time (“Program Operator IP”). You agree that all uses of the Program Operator IP will be on behalf of involve.me and the goodwill associated therewith will inure to the sole benefit of involve.me.

Except for the limited foregoing license, nothing herein shall be construed to grant you any right, title or interest in or to the Program Operator IP and Program Operator reserves all rights, title and interest in or to the Program Operator IP. You acknowledge that the Program Operator IP, as well as all contents of the website, are the sole property of Program Operator or its third party licensors. You agree that you will not, and will not permit others to, take any action inconsistent with such rights in the Program Operator IP. Without limiting the foregoing, the Program Operator trademarks and service marks may not be used to register internet domain names for any purpose. Affiliate may in no way use or display a Program Operator logo, image, or trademark which may be distasteful, defamatory, misleading or misrepresentative.

5.2. Using “involve.me”
“involve.me” cannot be used as a part of an Affiliate’s website domain name, blog, Facebook account, YouTube channel, Twitter username or any URL associated with the affiliate account.

5.3. Spam and Unsolicited Commercial Mailings
involve.me does not tolerate the sending of unsolicited email (“UCE or SPAM”), including any unsolicited emails which promote, or make reference to involve.me, or any of their associated companies or websites, vendors, or employees, the websites, products or services. Affiliate expressly agrees to comply with all laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the sending of UCE or SPAM and any Affiliate who, in the opinion of involve.me, breaches the foregoing will have their Affiliate status canceled and any outstanding commissions will be forfeited, in addition to any other remedies to involve.me may be entitled hereunder or in law or equity. Each Affiliate agrees to indemnify, defend and hold involve.me and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from Affiliate’s breach of this Section 5.3.

5.4. Paid Search Policies
Bidding at larger pay per click search engines (PPCSE), such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing!, is a great way to drive traffic to your website and send your commission checks even higher. However, Affiliates engaging in paid search marketing campaigns agree to adhere to the following terms and requirements:

5.4.1. involve.me protects its trademark and does not allow any trademark bidding on any search engine or Paid Placement service or site. This includes, but is not limited to Google, Yahoo, Bing!, Ask and other similar services. Affiliates may not bid on trademarked or registered terms of involve.me (e.g., involve.me, involve.mezes) or any phrase type, misspelling, variation or combination thereof, including, without limitation, those words listed in the restricted keyword list below. Any Affiliates found to be in violation of the foregoing may be banned from the involve.me Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of behavior violating this Section 5.4.
5.4.2. Affiliates may not use their affiliate link or any of the involve.me domains and/or URLs (including, but not limited to www.involve.me) as the display domain or URL in the advertisement. When engaging in paid search engine campaigns, Affiliates must use their own domain and/or URL in their ads.
Forbidden Display URL Examples: www.involve.me
Approved Display URL Examples: /involve.me

5.4.3. You may not make any misleading or false statements in your campaigns. To avoid conflicts and to protect the integrity of the involve.me brand, involve.me reserves the right to suspend your participation in the affiliate program and thus your commissions for phrases that involve.me determines to be untrue or inflammatory claims of our products, services or websites. To avoid such measures, please forward all ad text and proposed keywords/phrases you wish to bid on to the Affiliate Manager for approval or editing, PRIOR to your submitting it to Paid Search Network providers or Paid Inclusion Search Engines.

5.5. “Cookie-Stuffing” Policy
“Cookie-Stuffing”, forced clicks, or similar activity is not permitted. “Cookie stuffing” is an unlawful strategy of generating affiliate sales. (e.g., Use of cookie stuffing to cause tracking systems to conclude that a user has clicked through a qualifying affiliate link – and to pay commissions accordingly- even if the user has not actually clicked through any such link). Affiliates found using, employing or receiving this strategy will be immediately revoked and all commissions will be forfeited, in addition to any other remedies Program Operator may have hereunder or at law or equity.

5.6. Adware & Toolbars
Affiliates are prohibited from transmitting any “interstitials,” “ParasitewareTM,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-Ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to customers from the time the customer clicks on a qualifying link to the involve.me website until the time the customer has exited the involve.me site (ie. no page from the involve.me site or any involve.me content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). The terms a. “ParasitewareTM” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of involve.me site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open the involve.me site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

5.7. No Predatory Advertising
All Affiliates in the affiliate program agree to refrain from any type of predatory advertising practices, infringement of Program Operator’s or a third party’s intellectual property rights, or other practices which violate any applicable law including advertising and consumer protection law, and shall include, but not be limited to, dynamically replacing the affiliate ID of one affiliate with that of another with the effect of “stealing” the commission away from the Affiliate that earned it, whether this be intentional or not and misuse as described in Section 7 below. Affiliates may not adjust any of the supplied affiliate links to reset cookies or bypass other safeguards in the system. Affiliates understand that engaging in such practices is grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of any earned commissions.

5.8. Prohibited Incentives
As stated at the beginning of this Agreement, Affiliates can offer an exclusive 15% discount on the first purchase (monthly AND yearly) through the unique affiliate link provided. Affiliates may not offer (i) any additional incentives in the form of, described as, or resulting in, discounting of any products or services of Program Operator; or (ii) any other incentives in the form of rebates, deposits, cash-back or other types of monetary incentives relating to the products or services of Program Operator. Such incentives are strictly prohibited and are grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of any earned commissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliates may offer bonuses, “bundles” or discounts on products or services ordinarily offered by Affiliates as incentives to purchasers of Program Operator’s products and services. For example, an Affiliate may offer discounts on Affiliate’s training programs in connection with the promotion of Program Operator’s products and services.

5.9. Mixing of Products
As an Affiliate of the Program Operator, your website on which you advertise any products or services of the Program Operator may only include products that do not target persons 13 years of age or younger. Your website may NOT contain any content or images that are NOT suitable for being viewed by persons 13 years of age or younger if you include any reference whatsoever to the Program Operator, the website, or your affiliate link. On any website or communication in which you include any reference whatsoever to the Program Operator, its website, products, or services, you may NOT include any reference whatsoever to any form of “Adult” content. Any violation of these requirements will result in immediate termination of your affiliate status and you shall forfeit any unpaid commissions/referral fees. In the event that any violation of these requirements results in the suspension or termination of any payment processor for or by the Program Operator, you shall be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000 as well as any consequential or actual damages that the Program Operator may incur.
