Account Registration & Terms

We do not permit you to share your user name and password with any other person nor with multiple users on a network. Responsibility for the security of any user names and passwords issued (including those of any Invitees) rests with you.

If you provide or otherwise make available access to your account in whole or in part in any form to any person including your employees, ("Invitees") you undertake to ensure that all Invitees comply with these Terms and acknowledge that you shall remain responsible and liable for the acts or omissions of all Invitees to the same extent as if you had carried out such acts or omissions yourself.

You may not use the Program for any illegal or unauthorised purpose. You must not, in the use of the Program, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).You may not use the Program to earn referral fees on your own accounts of the PriceDerby service ("services").

Referral Links & Promotion

Once you have signed up for the Program you will be provided with a URL link that must be used to identify you when placing a link from your site, email or other communications to the PriceDerby website. It is your responsibility to ensure each such link is correctly formatted. We may also provide graphical images that can be used within the links to promote PriceDerby. You may not modify these images in any way. We reserve the right to change the images at any time without notice.

Affiliate links must point to the home page of the PriceDerby website. Links to other pages inside the PriceDerby website will not earn credit.You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site.

We may terminate the Agreement if any meaningful spam complaints naming us or our services result from your marketing activities. You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our Services, say you are part of PriceDerby or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Referral Fees & Payment

For a sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your site, email, or other communications to the PriceDerby website and submit a purchase within 24 hours of the initial click-through. If they fail to submit a purchase within 24 hours and later return without following your link, you will not earn a referral fee.

We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system. The base referral fee is $0.50 of revenue from customers that you refer. The referral fee will be credited to your Affiliate account once the customer pays their subscription. Referral fees are only earned if a customer makes a payment in full. Credits are also subjected to a clearing period of 21 days.

Accrued referral fees are paid via PayPal and must be withdrawn in multiples of 10. You must have a valid PayPal account to receive referral fees, as we don’t offer payment via cheque/check, credit card, cash or other method. All transfers and withdrawals are subjected to PayPal fees. Customer payments refunded or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for referral fees. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.

A summary of sale credits and statement of referral fees is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate account. The referral fee structure is subject to change at our discretion. We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you and subjected to the jurisdictions of your place of business.
