If Wetail AB updates or replaces the terms of this Agreement, we will let the Affiliate know via electronic means, which may include an in-app or in-account notification or by email.

Customer Transactions

4.1 Affiliate Program Limits. Each accepted Affiliate Lead will expire according to the information provided on the Program Policies Page, from the date, the Affiliate Lead clicked on the Affiliate Link that was made available by you. We will pay you recurring Commission for 365 days made by each new Customer who completes a valid Customer Transaction after clicking on an Affiliate Lead made available by you, provided that you remain eligible to receive Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The start of the Customer’s subscription is determined by the date of the first purchase of the Subscription Service by the Customer and you will receive a Commission payment for that Customer Transaction and its recurrences, regardless of any additional purchases made by that customer during their Subscription Service.

The Affiliate will not be entitled to receive Commission on any additional direct purchases from us of Wetail AB Products by that same Customer.

If the original subscription is cancelled and the customer re-subscribes at a later date, the Affiliate will not be entitled to receive Commission.

4.2 Eligibility.

(a) To be eligible for Commission, the following must occur:

(i) an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and be valid in accordance with Section 4.3 below (Acceptance and Validity);

(ii) a Customer Purchase Transaction must have occurred;

(iii) a Customer must remain a Customer for a minimum of sixty (60) days from the date of purchase (For example, a Customer who makes a purchase on the 10th day of January must remain a customer until the 10th day of March in order for the Affiliate to be eligible for a Commission);

(iv) Customer is a first time user to Wetail AB and has not purchased any previous Wetail AB applications either directly by Customer or from anyone in Customer’s organisation;

(v) All transactions must occur on the Wetail.io domain; and,

(ii) the applicable Customer objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such compensation from its payments to us or Wetail AB Affiliates;

(iii) the Customer has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to you; (iv) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in violation of any Affiliate Program Policies that we make available to you, misuse or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Marketing Affiliate Program; or, (v) the Customer participates in any of our partner programs and is eligible to receive commission in relation to the Customer Transaction under any of these programs. In competitive situations with other affiliates, we may elect to provide the Commission to the affiliate that we deem to be the most eligible for Commission, at our discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue Commission payments should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection fail to be met at any time.

4.3 Acceptance and Validity. You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any Customer Transactions that derived from Affiliate Leads generated by the Affiliate Link that we make available to you and are accepted by Wetail AB. An Affiliate Lead will be considered valid and accepted if, in our reasonable determination, it is a new potential customer of ours and it is not, at the time of submission or fortyfive (45) days prior thereto, one of our pre-existing customers, or involved in our active sales process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept an Affiliate Lead, in our reasonable discretion. If an Affiliate Lead does not purchase the Subscription Service within the time period from their first click on the Affiliate Link (described on the Program Policies Page), Affiliate will not be eligible for a Commission payment, even if the Affiliate Lead decides to purchase after the time period has expired. An Affiliate Lead is not considered valid if its first click on the Affiliate Link is after this Agreement has expired or terminated.

4.4 Engagement with Prospects. Once Wetail AB has received the Affiliate Lead information, we may elect to engage with the prospect directly, regardless of whether or not the Affiliate Lead is valid. If an Affiliate Lead is not valid, then we may choose to maintain it in our database. Any engagement between Wetail AB and an Affiliate Lead will be at Wetail AB’s discretion.

4.5 Forfeit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any of the requirements set forth in this Section 4 remain outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the close of a Customer Transaction, then your right to receive Commission arising from any and all Customer Transactions with the associated Customer will be forever forfeited (each, a “Forfeited Transaction”). We will have no obligation to pay Commission associated with a Forfeited Transaction. Once you comply with all of the requirements set forth, then you will be eligible to receive Commission on Customer Transactions, as long as these Customer Transactions do not involve the same Customer associated with a Forfeited Transaction.

4.6 Commission Payment. We, or a Wetail AB Affiliate, will pay the Commission amount due to you quarterly and within thirty (30) days for any Commission amounts that you become eligible for according to the Eligibility section above. We will determine the currency in which we pay the Commission, as well as the applicable conversion rate. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar referral fee on any given Customer Transaction (unless we choose to do so at our discretion). In case of a chargeback/refund initiated by the Customer, the commission paid corresponding to the original transaction will be reversed or adjusted in the subsequent payments.

4.7 Taxes. You are responsible for payment of all taxes applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us.

4.8 Commission Amounts. We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount. We will post all information regarding the Commission amount on our Program Policies Page.

Commission Determination; Qualified Purchases

 

Commissions will be calculated for each Qualified Purchase (as defined herein) based on the commission rates stated on the Wetail AB Program Policies Page, subject to commission accruing pursuant to below.

A “Qualified Purchase” does NOT include the following:

A purchase by a Referred Customer that has transferred from any Wetail AB partners or subsidiaries.

A purchase by a Referred Customer who is also associated with any Wetail AB reseller, referral, or other program.

A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not up to date on its payments or is subject to a refund, referral, or other program.

A purchase that was completed prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program or was not tracked properly through an Affiliate Link.

A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a period of at least sixty (60) days or is in violation of Wetail AB’s Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue.

A purchase that Wetail AB suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud, which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same customer, or the referral of accounts that do not comply with this Agreement.

A purchase referred by an Affiliate that has an excessive cancellation rate as determined in Wetail AB’s sole discretion.

A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Referred Customer was offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate.

A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Affiliate or Referred Customer is in or is promoting a business-opportunity program, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

A purchase by a Referred Customer who received a popup with a discounted offer, while leaving Wetail AB’s website during their purchase.

Wetail AB reserves the right to withhold payment of initial Commissions Fees to Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate Program or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Wetail AB in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.

Wetail AB reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer.

Wetail AB reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate’s current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled purchases.

Wetail AB reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee that fails to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the payment, denial, and withholding of Commission Fees;

Wetail AB is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees. If Affiliate has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, Affiliate has thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact Wetail AB to request that the Commission Fee be paid. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly made in Wetail AB’s sole discretion.

Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Wetail AB reseller, referral or other program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase. In other words, you may not receive double commissions or compensation.

In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Wetail AB by an Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Wetail AB in its sole discretion, Wetail AB reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees to such Affiliate.

Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Wetail AB or any violation of the terms of this Agreement constitute immediate grounds for Wetail AB to terminate the Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program and will result in the forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Affiliate.

Accrual of Commissions

 

Commissions will accrue and only become payable once you provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to this Agreement and reach the Commission Threshold of 150.00 kr, based on the commission rates stated on the Wetail AB Affiliate Program Policies Page, solely as applied to Qualified Purchases. All Qualified Purchases eligible to result in commissions under this Section must remain active and in good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain eligible for accrual of a commission. Once a commission has accrued under this Section, the amount of such commission (the “Commission Fee”) shall be due and payable to you under the terms of Section 7 below. Wetail AB reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold by amending this Agreement and will notify you of any such amendment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Commission Payments

7.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the accrual of commissions as set forth in Section 6 above, commissions will be calculated according to the specified percentage or Swedish Kronor amount set forth in the commission report for each Qualified Purchase that accrues during the period for which such commission fee is being calculated.

7.2 Commission Fees will be processed 30 days after the end of the quarter or other period in which they accrue. Wetail AB will only compensate you for Qualified Purchases made in accordance with this Agreement.

7.3 Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in your Affiliate profile. You are required to notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating your profile information via email.

7.4 In order to receive payment under this Agreement, you must:

(a) agree to the terms of this Agreement;

(b) have a valid and up-to-date bank account; and,

(c) complete any and all required tax documentation in order for Wetail AB to process any payments owed to you.

7.5 Bank Transfers. Please refer to your Bank’s policy to ensure you are eligible to receive payment if you reside outside of Sweden. Wetail AB will be needing your Bank Account information such as account number and Bank BIC.

7.6 Wetail AB is not responsible for paying any third-party fees charged by your Bank for you to receive Affiliate Commission Fees. Wetail AB, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the available commission payment methods or payment schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted.

7.7 Commission Disputes. Affiliate will be provided with a statistics report at the end of each month and agree to file any disputes within thirty (30) days after receiving the report. Disputes filed after forty-five (45) days of the date on which the disputed sale or event occurred will not be accepted by Wetail AB and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.

7.8 It is solely your responsibility to provide Wetail AB with accurate tax and payment information that is necessary to issue a Commission Fee to you. If Wetail AB does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within sixty (60) days of a Qualified Purchase which would otherwise trigger Commission Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no Commission Fees will be owed with respect to such Qualified Purchase.

Any address change must be made in the Affiliate profile in the Affiliate console at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the end of the calendar quarter in order for Commission Fees for that quarter to be processed

Promotion of Our Affiliate Relationship

8.1 Use of Links. If you qualify and agree to participate as an Affiliate, we will make a variety of graphic and textual links available to you (each referred to herein as a “Link” or, collectively, as the “Links”).

Each Link connecting users of the Affiliate Site to the pertinent area of the Wetail AB website will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of the Wetail AB website.
