Aplos, Raisely & Keela Referral Program Agreement
This Channel Affiliate/Partner Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into by and between Aplos, Raisely, and/or Keela ("Company") and you ("Partner/Customer Referrer"). This Agreement governs your participation in the Aplos, Raisely, and/or Keela Referral Program (the "Program"). By participating in the Program, you expressly agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
Program Participation and Acceptance
Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement does not establish an exclusive relationship between the Partner/Customer Referrer and the Company. Both parties retain the right to recommend and engage with third-party products, services, and partners.
Partner Acceptance. Upon completion of an application to join the Program, the Company will review the application and, in its sole discretion, notify you of acceptance or rejection. The Company reserves the right to require that you complete certain certifications or requirements before acceptance. Your participation in the Program is contingent upon your continued compliance with all terms of this Agreement.
Commission and Payment
Qualifying Customer Transaction. For each new customer who completes an applicable Customer Transaction after being introduced by you via the unique affiliate link provided by the Company (an "Affiliate Link"), you shall be eligible to receive a commission ("Commission"). A Customer Transaction shall be considered a "Qualifying Customer Transaction" only if:
- The customer is new to the Company and is not, and has not been, a pre-existing customer or an active lead in the Company's sales process within the preceding sixty (60) days.
- The customer's initial purchase or subscription service occurs within the timeframe specified in the Company's Affiliate Tool.
- The Partner/Customer Referrer is not receiving a bulk discount price or any other pre-negotiated volume-based pricing or special organizational rate on the referred customer's purchase or subscription. Referrals made under any such special pricing agreements are not eligible for a Commission.
Payment Terms. Commission payments shall be processed and disbursed within forty-five (45) days following the end of the calendar month in which the corresponding amounts are collected by the Company. Payment is contingent upon you having a valid and current payment method and all required tax documentation on file with the Company.
Forfeiture of Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you fail to meet all payment requirements for six (6) months following the close of a Customer Transaction, your right to receive the associated Commission shall be permanently forfeited.
Taxes. The Partner/Customer Referrer shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes, fees, and other costs applicable to the Commission payments.
