By registering for the Associate Program, you agree to the Terms, therefore please read them carefully.

ASSOCIATE PROGRAM : 1. Description of the Associate Program

The Associate Program permits you to place links to our content on your website, social media platform, or other platform (referred to herein as your “Site”). The links must properly use the special “tagged” link formats we provide and comply with these Terms (“Special Links”).

When a user of your Site clicks through the Special Links and purchases a product sold or services offered by us (such products or services, “Products”), you can receive a percentage of qualifying purchases, as further described in Section 3. In order to facilitate your advertisement of Products, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools, application program interfaces, and other information in connection with the Associate Program (“Program Content”).

ASSOCIATE PROGRAM : 2. Associate Program Compliance Requirements

You must comply with these Terms to participate in the Associate Program and receive fees.
You must promptly provide us with any information that we request to verify your compliance with these Terms.

If you violate these Terms, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently (to the extent permitted by applicable law) withhold (and you agree you will not be eligible to receive) any and all fees otherwise payable to you under these Terms, whether or not directly related to such violation without notice and without prejudice to any right of ours to recover damages in excess of this amount.

ASSOCIATE PROGRAM : 3. Fees

We will pay to you a referral fee based on Qualifying Revenue (as defined below) in connection with a “Qualifying Purchase”. A “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when (a) a customer clicks through a Special Link on your Site to our website; and (b) the customer purchases and pays for a Product.

For each Qualifying Purchase, the corresponding “Qualifying Revenue” is equal to the amount we actually receive from that Qualifying Purchase, less any processing fees, taxes (e.g. sales tax and VAT), service charges, credits, rebates, credit card processing fees, and bad debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Purchases are disqualified whenever they occur in connection with a violation of these Terms, or any policies, appendices, specifications, guidelines, schedules, and other rules referenced in these Terms (“Program Policies”).

Further, the following purchases that would otherwise be Qualified Purchases are disqualified and excluded from the Associates Program: (a) any Product purchased after termination of your participation in the Associates Program, (b) any Product order where a cancellation, return, or refund has been initiated, and (c) any Product purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your Site to our website are not properly formatted.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accurately and comprehensively track Qualifying Purchases for the purposes of our internal tracking and creating and distributing to you our reports summarizing any fees earned by you during the preceding calendar quarter.

We will pay you all fees payable to you in U.S. Dollars approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter in which they were earned. We will pay you such fees by the method we and you have agreed upon in writing. To arrange the method of payment, please send an email to support@learnconfidencecode.com.

Payments made to you, as reduced by all deductions or withholdings described in these Terms, will constitute full payment and settlement to you of amounts payable under these Terms. If any excess payment has been made to you for any reason whatsoever, we reserve the right to adjust or offset the same against any subsequent fees payable to you under these Terms.

ASSOCIATE PROGRAM : 4. Customers

Our customers are not, by virtue of your participation in the Associate Program, your customers. As between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on our website will apply to those customers and may be changed at any time.

Upon any termination of these Terms, all rights and obligations of the parties will be extinguished, including any and all licenses granted in connection with these Terms, except that the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 of these Terms, together with any payable but unpaid payment obligations under these Terms, will survive the termination of these Terms.
