Terms & Conditions

To be an authorized affiliate or partner of SC Paymo SRL, you (“Affiliate”) agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in this agreement. Please carefully read this agreement before registering and signing on as an affiliate. By signing up for the Paymo Affiliate Program, you are agreeing to accept this Affiliate Program Agreement and its terms and conditions. If you sign up on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf.

This Affiliate Program Agreement might be changed at any time, without prior notice. You are responsible for reviewing this Agreement on a regular basis. Any changes that are made to this Agreement will not apply retroactively.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

I. Promotional Materials.

In connection with any marketing efforts you choose to make for our products, please ensure that all promotional materials adhere to the following guidelines:

a. Product Reviews:
In the event that you do a product review of any of our products, you should make sure that you disclose upfront that you receive a percentage of each sale made. In addition, all endorsements must reflect the honest opinions or experiences of the endorser. Any disclosures must be clear and conspicuous and not hidden. The most important principle is that an endorsement has to represent the accurate experience and opinion of the endorser. In addition, you can’t talk about your experience with a product if you haven’t tried it.

b. Linking In Articles:
When using our affiliate link in an article, you must display a clear disclosure about the nature of your affiliate links and the material connection you have with our company. These disclosures must appear on the same page where the links appear, and they must be clear, conspicuous, and require no additional user interaction to read (such as clicking a link, scrolling or hovering over an element).

Example Article Disclosure: "Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are ‘affiliate links.’ This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission."

c. Linking On Social Networks : When using our affiliate links on social networks, you must also display a clear disclosure about the nature of the links and the material connection you have with our company. In the form of social media posts, these disclosures must be part of the post that contains the affiliate link.

II. Affiliate Tracking and Commissions.

a. All sales are tracked using visitor IP and/or cookies. While this is the best method available, it is not perfect. We can only guarantee that sales will be tracked if the user's IP does not change or their cookies are not cleared.

b. The first affiliate to refer a visitor gets credit for the sale. Multiple affiliates will not be paid for the same sale. Affiliates agree that in the event of a dispute regarding credit or payment, the sole determination of Company shall be final and binding.

c. Only intentional clicks are allowed in the system. Forcing visitors to click a link, or using fake tracking pixels (also known as "cookie stuffing"), or any other means to register unsuspecting visitors in the system is strictly prohibited. Accounts using such methods will be terminated without warning and all revenues will be forfeited. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of: Auto-Hit or Auto-Surf programs, displaying affiliate tracking URL within an iframe or image src, automatic pop-ups or automatic redirects to affiliate URL's without action by the visitor, or any other method meant to automatically track a visitor in the affiliate system without an intentional click from an interested buyer. If Company believes that Affiliate has fraudulently added registrations by non-approved methods (as solely determined by Company in its judgment), Affiliate agrees the payout for all such fraudulent leads will be forfeited.

d. Visitors referred by Affiliates are tracked for a maximum of 6 months. Visitors who are referred and make a purchase 6 months after clicking an Affiliate's link will not be tracked, and a sale will not be awarded or compensated.

e. As a regular affiliate in the default "Affiliates" group, the first affiliate who refers a customer who creates a subscription will be awarded commissions for 12 months maximum - 15% from each monthly payment for monthly subscriptions, and one flat commission of 15% for an annual subscription.

f. As a partner in the "Partners" group, the first affiliate who refers a customer who creates a subscription will be awarded 25% commission from each payment as long as the referred customer pays the subscription.

g. Anyone can join the default "Affiliates" group, but joining the "Partners" group requires our approval. To remain a member of the Partners group also requires that you send each month a minimum of 5 referrals (people who create a Paymo account).

III. Payments.

a. Payments are sent out once a month by our affiliate integration partner (FirstPromoter). No payments will be due or payable until an Affiliate has earned at least U.S. $50. Payments are only made through PayPal. Therefore, you must have a valid PayPal email address assigned to your Partner Dashboard in your account to receive any payment.

b. Company shall pay Affiliate the agreed upon percentage of Net Revenue from customers. Company shall have the right at any time in its sole discretion to alter the percentage of Net Revenue paid to Affiliates (including the payment of commissions upon renewal) upon the provision of ten days’ prior notice. Net Revenue means the gross revenues actually received by Company due to Affiliate’s actions less taxes, refunds, rebates and any discounts given. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the last day of the month in which the Customer paid Company.

c. If you disagree with any compensation paid in connection with any month, you agree to notify Company within sixty days of payment for such month. Otherwise, you agree that any and all claims for underpayment for such month shall be waived. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

IV. Account Termination.

a. If we suspect that you are engaged in fraud of any kind, your account may be terminated without notice. Affiliates who have had their accounts terminated are not eligible to become affiliates thereafter. Accounts which refer customers using misleading or falsified information will be terminated. Lying to a potential customer in order to persuade them to purchase our products is strictly forbidden. Using illegal means of promotion, including (but not limited to) eMail SPAM is strictly prohibited. Accounts found to be promoting our products using methods that break the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 will be immediately terminated and removed from the system.

What’s also forbidden:

b. Only one person may use an affiliate account, and each person may only create one account for themselves. Creating multiple accounts is not allowed. Affiliates with multiple accounts will be excluded.
