AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
The Her Own Dream (“Her Own Dream” or “Company”) Affiliate Program is designed to help you generate income in exchange for referring new hosting clients to Her Own Dream.
This agreement contains the terms and conditions for Her Own Dream’s (“we”, “us”, and “our”) Affiliate Program. The terms and conditions described in this agreement govern the Affiliate’s (“you”, and “your”) participation in and use of the Affiliate Program. This Agreement is a legal contract between the Affiliate and Her Own Dream. It is important that you read this Agreement carefully. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions, then you may not be an Affiliate. If there is anything that you do not understand in this Agreement, please contact us.
AFFILIATE ELIGIBILITY:
To become an Affiliate, complete and submit the registration form located on the Her Own Dream website.
Age. By submitting the application, you agree you are eighteen (18) years of age or older as the program is solely intended for those eighteen years of age or older.
PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS:
As a Her Own Dream Affiliate, you may accrue a one-time referral fee for each successful purchase of a website account that you refer to Her Own Dream. The account must meet the definition of a “Qualified Purchase”: a purchase of Her Own Dream’s web management services by a new and unique customer who: 1) clicks on an affiliate tracking link or verbally states referral, 2) completely the purchase within ninety (90) days; and 3) maintains an active account with Betty Lou Hosting for at least ninety (90) days.
Affiliate accounts must be active at the time of the referral. Her Own Dream will not backpay for referrals submitted before your participation in the Affiliate Program.
You must provide Her Own Dream with all relevant tax and communication documentation. You are responsible for keeping all information up to date including email addresses, name, payment information, tax information and any other personal information that will impact the ability to issue a valid payment. Each affiliate is required to submit an accurate and up to date W-9 tax form. Your tax information is required to be on file for your referral fees to accrue and become payable.
Affiliates are solely responsible for ensuring that all payee information is accurate and up to date. Her Own Dream is not responsible for any lost or stolen payment.
Missing or untracked referrals must be reported within 30 days of the account signup and will be credited to your account at our sole discretion.
Affiliate commission balance must reach $45 before the first payment can be made. You will have access to your Affiliate Portal within your cPanel account. Simply click on Affiliates in the top menu bar to view your unique referral link, statistics, commissions and to request a withdrawal.
Payments will process on the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th) of the month, unless these dates fall on a weekend, then the payments will process the following Monday. Payment will only be made after the ninety (90) day Qualified Purchase period. For example: you refer an account that was opened on January 1. The Qualified Purchase period ends on April 1, and your payment is sent during the month of April.
Payments are sent using PayPal. Her Own Dream pays for the transaction fee associated with PayPal. You are required to supply a PayPal address to receive payments.
In the event that Her Own Dream re-issues any payment, a $35 charge will apply and be deducted from the Affiliate’s earnings.
Affiliates are responsible for any and all fees, taxes, exchange rates, surcharges and other expenses incurred in order to receive their referral fee. Please check with PayPal to find out if any of these apply for your account.
Due to the high frequency of credit card fraud and cancellation rates, Her Own Dream reserves the right to hold referral fees for up to two (2) additional months for verification. Her Own Dream has the sole discretion to cancel referral fees in event that we are unable to collect funds, the order is fraudulent, the customer cancels within the first ninety (90) days, or if we learn that the referral fee was earned improperly for any other reason.
PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS:
Affiliates MAY NOT offer cash back, rewards or other incentives to drive traffic/sales via their unique affiliate tracking links.
Affiliates MAY NOT use traffic that is generated through pay to click, pay to read, banner exchanges, click exchanges, CPV advertising, pop-up/under, SPAM purchased traffic or similar methods.
Affiliates MAY NOT bid on or use Her Own Dream’s logo, name or misspelled keywords for the purpose of PPC on Internet Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.)
Affiliates are responsible for testing their tracking code and making sure that it is working before sending traffic to Her Own Dream’s servers. Referral fees may not be paid for tracking errors caused by editing, masking, redirecting or tampering with affiliate links, as determined in Betty Lou Hosting’s sole discretion.
Affiliates MAY NOT copy Her Own Dream’s website or any portions thereof and display them on their own site or subdomain or use them in any way without Betty Lou Hosting’s prior express written permission.
Affiliates MAY NOT engage in the advertisement of business-opportunity sites or use marketing practices that attract fraudulent or short-term customers (customers with low retention and renewal rates) which shall be determined at Her Own Dream’s sole discretion.
FTC DISCLOSURE POLICY:
It is our intent to treat our customers fairly. Accordingly, we require all Her Own Dream Affiliates to comply fully with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines concerning advertising and marketing, including without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides (See the FTC Endorsement Guide for more information.), which require that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. This means that all affiliate websites (e.g. directories, review/rating sites, blogs, and other websites) and any email or collateral that provide an endorsement or assessment of Her Own Dream, must prominently disclose the fact that you may receive compensation for referring customers to Her Own Dream.
At our sole discretion, we reserve the right to withhold referral fees and/or terminate the affiliate relationship for your failure to comply with Betty Lou Hosting’s FTC disclosure policy or with any other applicable regulations or guidelines, as determined by Her Own Dream at our sole discretion.
DEACTIVATION:
Affiliate accounts may be deactivated at any time without warning or notice at Her Own Dream’s sole discretion. Any affiliate who violates Her Own Dream’s Terms of Service, including without limitation, these Affiliate Terms, or any applicable law is subject to having their affiliate account deactivated immediately, and any and all accrued, but not yet received, referral fees will be forfeited.
In Her Own Dream’s sole discretion, any false or misleading advertising or suspected fraudulent activity associated with your affiliate account will result in immediate deactivation.
Affiliate accounts generating a large number of fraudulent accounts, as determined in Her Own Dream’s sole discretion, will be deactivated.
Affiliates may not resell hosting. All referred customers must provide their own payment method and contact information to be a Qualified Purchase. If Her Own Dream determines in its sole discretion that an Affiliate is reselling hosting, the affiliate account will be immediately deactivated.
If you would like to discontinue your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time, simply remove your affiliate links from your website and no longer promote them. For accounting purposes, our systems will retain your account and personal information.
CHANGES:
We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. In such event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Her Own Dream’s Affiliate Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to deactivate your account. Your continued participation in Her Own Dream’s Affiliate Program following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.
HEADINGS:
The headings and titles contained in this Agreement are included for convenience only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the terms of this Agreement.
