You are not allowed to post any refunds, credits or discounts, or other content concerning Hosting Direct, unless We have given You prior written permission in each instance. Affiliates may only use coupons and discounts that are provided exclusively through the Affiliate Program using banners and links. Each Link connecting users of Your site to the pertinent area of Our site will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of Our site. Any violations of the terms surrounding links, coupons, refunds, credits or discounts shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and may result in Your termination from the program or withholding of Commissions.
  • Order Processing We will process orders placed by Referred Customer who follow the Links from your website to Hosting Direct.com. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements that we may establish from time to time. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including Hosting Direct service, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by your website and will make this information available to you through our website. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and Commission accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your website and our website are properly formatted.
  • Commission Determination Under the Affiliate Program, you will be paid a Commission Fee for each Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer that you refer to Hosting Direct under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Referred Customer and each Qualified Purchase must meet the following criteria (the “Criteria”):
    • Each Referred Customer must be a new and unique visitor to Hosting Direct and must register by completing and submitting the Registration Form using a valid and unique account and billing information.
    • Commission may not be paid for a Referred Customer that has transferred from any of our partners or subsidiaries.
    • Each Referred Customer must make a Qualified Purchase, and provide a valid payment for the purchased Hosting Direct Products or Services. To generate a Commission Fee for you, each Referred Customer must be an active, qualified customer of Hosting Direct and must be up-to-date in all payments at the time the Commission Fees are processed and not have been subject to a refund, credit, cancellation, suspension or chargeback.
    • Each Referred Customer must sign up in a manner, which in our sole judgment, definitively establishes that the Referred Customer was referred directly from you to Hosting Direct under this Agreement.
    • Each Referred Customer must remain in compliance with our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and other policies that are active at the time the Commission Fees are processed.
    • Commission Fees may not be paid for the Qualified Purchase if the Referred Customer has been offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate or if the Referred Customer has joined a business-opportunity program (as determined by Hosting Direct in its sole discretion) that is managed or participated in by the Affiliate, unless Hosting Direct has provided its prior written permission.
    • If a Referred Customer has received a popup with a discounted offer, while leaving our site during their purchase, we will NOT pay commissions on purchase.

    Hosting Direct reserves the right to withhold initial Commissions Fees for Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Hosting Direct in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers. Hosting Direct reserves the right to suspend 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 in this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer(s). Hosting Direct 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 Hosting Direct purchases. Where no subsequent Commission Fee is due and owing, Hosting Direct will send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of the program or termination of the Referred Customer. Hosting Direct, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withhold indefinitely any Commission Fee, and/or to reverse or reject any Commission Fee, for:

    • Any account/sale which has not been in an approved status in good standing as an account of Hosting Direct for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
    • All commissions generated for accounts that may be fraudulent, including but not limited to the use of software that generates real and fictitious information.
    • Altering Our Links in any way.
    • Referred Customers that have been offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate or for Referred Customers who have joined a business opportunity program that is managed or participated in by the Affiliate, unless Hosting Direct has provided written permission.
    • Customers engaging in “Domain Speculation,” which is determined by the identification of more than two (2) web hosting accounts in the same Referred Customer’s name that have no content on their websites.

    Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Hosting Direct reseller, referral or other program may be removed from your payment. In other words, You may not receive double commissions or compensation. In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Hosting Direct by a specific Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate (as determined by Hosting Direct in its sole discretion), Hosting Direct reserves the right to withhold or decline future Commission Fees for the Affiliate. Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualifying Purchases or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Hosting Direct or violation of any of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Hosting Direct to terminate this Agreement and will result in forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to you.

  • Commission Fees and Payments Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will pay a Commission Fee equal to the specified percentage or dollar amount set forth in the Commission Report in Your Affiliate Console on a Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer which occurs during the month or other period for which such Commission Fee is being calculated. Such Commission Fees will be processed approximately 15 to 30 days after the end of month or other period in which a Qualified Purchase was properly completed. Hosting Direct will not reimburse nor compensate You for any commission or other consideration other than for Qualifying Purchases by a Referred Customer made in accordance with the terms hereof. There is a $25 (one signup) minimum threshold for Commission Fees. Check payments will only be reissued within 120 days of original issue date in the case of a lost check or stop-payment request. After 120 days, the payment will be voided. Check cancellation fees may be applied. You are responsible for informing Hosting Direct about changes to postal and e-mail addresses, as well as any changes to your name, email address, contact information, tax identification number, or other personal information that will impact Hosting Direct’s ability to issue a valid Commission payment. Failure to provide the correct addresses may result in the forfeiture of any Commissions due to you. Commission Fees that are returned for invalid or insufficient address information or for other reasons may be forfeited as well.
  • Payment Forms/Types Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in Your Affiliate profile. Please notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating your profile information in the Affiliate console. Failure to do so may result in loss or forfeiture of your Commission Fee. You are responsible for informing Hosting Direct of Your desired Payment form/type:
    • You may choose to receive Commission Fees in the form of check made out in U.S. currency if you do not live in:
      • any of the countries listed in our Acceptable Use Policy prohibited by regulations of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Controls (“OFAC”),
      • or if you live in any of the following countries: China, Nigeria, Vietnam, India, Egypt, Ghana, Indonesia, Lebanon, Macedonia, Morocco, Pakistan, Romania, Somalia, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Israel, Turkey or Yugoslavia.
      • This list of countries is subject to change by Hosting Direct at any time;
    • You may choose to receive Commission Fees in the form of credit to your Hosting Direct hosting account.

    You can update or change desired payment form at any time by updating your Affiliate Profile located in the Affiliate Console. Changes to desired payment form may take up to two payout cycles to take affect. Hosting Direct, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the terms of this Commission payment method or schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted. Disputes: Affiliate has access to Hosting Direct’s real-time Affiliate Program statistics and activity and specifically agrees to file any tracking or commission disputes as well as any other disputes and discrepancies within 45 days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes filed after 45 days of the date on which the Qualified Purchase occurred will not be accepted by Hosting Direct and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.

  • Taxes/Address Changes It is Your responsibility to provide Hosting Direct with the tax and payment information required to issue a Commission Fee to You. If Hosting Direct does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within 90 days of a Commission Fee being earned, Hosting Direct will consider that Commission Fee to be forfeited by the Affiliate, and no payment will be issued. Each Affiliate is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form before Hosting Direct will issue any Commission Fees. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions you earn under this Agreement. In compliance with tax laws, Hosting Direct will issue a Form 1099 to Affiliates whose earnings meet or exceed the applicable amount warranting the Form 1099. You will be required to provide us with proper address, tax forms (including W8/W9 or other tax forms) or information within two (2) days of any request issued by Hosting Direct to issue a Form 1099. Any address changes must be made in the Affiliate profile in the Affiliate Console at least 15 business days prior to the end of the calendar quarter in order for Commissions for that quarter to be sent to the revised address.
  • Reports of Qualified Purchases You may log into your Affiliate Console to review Your click through and potential Qualified Purchases statistics on a daily basis.
