4. Affiliate Bounty Program Commission

  1. We will assign to each Affiliate an individual Referral Link which you should use to generate purchases of GetResponse Services. The Referral Link redirects the Referred Customer to the GetResponse website. It contains a unique code assigned to the Affiliate. This information is saved on a computer of a prospective customer, who enters the GetResponse website through the Referral Link, in a form of a cookie or in some cases, the assignment of a unique promo code. Therefore, it’s necessary to enable cookies on a dedicated browser. More about our Cookie Policy you can find here.

You are entitled to receive a one-off payment in the amount of 100.00 USD (in words: one hundred USD), or equivalent in the currency chosen in Affiliate Account, for every new paid Account that will be purchased by the Referred Customer, as restricted in Section 3 above, with use of your Referral Link. Other amounts of Commission may result from individual arrangements between GetResponse and you.

Applicable Commission for each sale of the Services to the Referred Customer during the term of this Agreement will be credited to your account once you meet all conditions and requirements hereunder and only upon receiving full remuneration for the Services from the Referred Customer and in the same time will not be qualified as a negative balance account.

  6. As mentioned above, we shall verify the validity of referred sales within 30 days after the end of the applicable 60 days period. Only Accounts that remain paid and active at the time of verification and are in good standing entitle you to the Commission. Our decision in this regard is final.

  9. The sale of the Services that form the basis for the calculation of the Commission is tracked through the use of cookies. In some cases, it will not be possible to track traffic from your website to the GetResponse website, because the Referred Customer is using cookie-blocking software. Please be informed that such sales will not be eligible for the Commission. We undertake to pay the Commission only for sales that can be tracked back to you using the technology that is in use by GetResponse. More about our Cookie Policy you can find here.

Please note that we may also deny the payment of the Commission if the Referred Account was closed and removed from our systems within the period you did not provide us with the data necessary for the payment and we are no longer able to verify your right for the Commission.

5. Recurring Affiliate Program Commission

  1. The Affiliate will receive a Commission for each complete purchase of the Service made in the Agreement term by the Referred Customer. This means that the Affiliate will receive the Commission upon accepted payment if the customer was referred through the Affiliate’s Referral Link and/or assigned unique promo code and the customer’s software allowed GetResponse to save such a referral cookie. The Affiliate is not entitled to the Commission for the purchases of the Service through their own referral link – this means that the Affiliate will not receive the Commission for the purchase of the Service made by the Affiliate himself/herself, their corporation, employer or the like or any other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Affiliate. This includes also any purchases made not under Affiliate’s name but with the use of Affiliate’s payment medium (e.g. credit card, check, bank account, PayPal account).
  2. The above applies to all the Commission for purchases made during the term of Affiliate’s employment contract (or any other contract being the basis of employment), if any, and within 3 months after its expiration or termination, concluded with GetResponse or any other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with GetResponse, or during the term when Affiliate is an officer, director or representative, if relevant, of GetResponse or any other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with GetResponse and within 3 months after this term.
  3. If a customer referred by the Affiliate purchases the regular version of the Service (GetResponse Service for SMB available on getresponse.com), the Affiliate will receive a residual Commission calculated as a percentage of the amount paid to GetResponse for the Service by the Referred Customer. In such case, the Commission rate is 33%.
  4. Where the Reffered Customer paid for the Service in other currency than the one used for settlement purposes with the Affiliate, we will convert and credit the associated Commission in the relevant currency using the index of European Central Bank from the time of payment.
  5. A summary of purchases of the Service and statement of referral Commission is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate Account.
  6. GetResponse reserves the right to grant discount for the Service to chosen customers. Commissions reflect a percentage, not a particular amount, therefore it is possible that the Commission on the sale of the same Service may be different every month.
  7. Commissions are calculated on the last day of each month and are paid out only when the accrued Commissions exceed either USD 50, EUR 40, GBP 50 or PLN 150 (depending on the Affiliate’s domicile/residence). If on the last day of the month the balance owing in the account is less than the aforesaid limit, the Commission will be accumulated in the account. The Commission are credited to your Affiliate account once the customer pays for the Service. Commissions are only earned if a customer makes a payment in full.
  8. Accrued Commissions are paid around 20th day of every subsequent month in the form of PayPal account, USD check, ACH, Eurotransfer or via other payment methods if agreed individually with GetResponse. Affiliate checks are mailed via regular mail to the address provided upon registration.  Checks delivery time does not depend on GetResponse, so the term of the payment of the Commission may be prolonged due to external factors extending checks delivery.
  9. If the accrued Commission does not exceed amounts indicated in section 7 above, your right to receive this Commission shall expire after 12 months from the moment you acquired it and we will not be longer obliged to the payment of such a Commission.
  10. Based on internal risk analysis, GetResponse reserves the right to withhold first-time payments and any other payments originating from an account where there is suspected fraud activity – for a period of up to 6 months and in cases the Affiliate violates any of the provisions of these Terms – all Commissions accrued and not paid out for as long as the Affiliate is in breach. GetResponse reserves also the right to disqualify Commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
  11. The Affiliate’s receipt of the payment may vary based on the method of payment selected, including delays in mail delivery or time required to complete electronic transactions.
  12. To ensure proper Commission payment, the Affiliate is solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact details including address, as well as payment information associated with the Affiliate’s account. If you are a US taxpayer, you should include without limitation a valid tax identification number and Form W-9. If you are a non-US taxpayer, you should provide us with your tax identification number. We may require any other tax form, as required by the US tax authorities. No Commission payment shall be made unless the Affiliate provides GetResponse with accurate and complete contact and tax details. If you do not provide us with the information necessary for the proper Commission payment, your right to receive the Commission shall expire after 12 months from the moment you acquired it and we will not be longer obliged to the payment of such a Commission. Please note that we may also deny the payment of the Commission if the Referred Account was closed and removed from our systems within the period you did not provide us with the data necessary for the payment and we are no longer able to verify your right for the Commission.
  13. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that all the sums of Commissions payable under the Program are calculated jointly for the purpose of fulfillment of tax obligations.
  14. GetResponse reserves the right to change the Commission rate and Service prices at any time. Any Commissions accrued after such a change will be at the new rate.

6. Refunds and Chargebacks

  1. Any Customer’s refunds, reversals or credit card chargebacks owed by GetResponse to the Referred Customer will result in the appropriate Commission amount being deducted from your payment amount (“Deducted Commission”). If the Commission from that sale has already been paid to you, the amount will be deducted from future payments of the Commissions. If the Commission owed to you in the next period is not sufficient to satisfy the Deducted Commission, we may invoice you for the payment of the remaining debt immediately and you are obligated to pay it within the payment date provided in the invoice.
  2. We reserve the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect in the event of not receiving the remaining debt within the payment date provided in the invoice as referred to in clause 1 above.
  3. Any fraudulent activity that can be traced directly to your actions will cause immediate termination and forfeiture of any Commission earned.
  4. If an Account of customer referred by you is terminated due to practices or actions that we consider abusive, prohibited or that violate Terms of Service in other ways, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to withhold or forfeit the Commissions earned (regardless of whether paid or outstanding) for referring the terminated customer. If the number of terminated customer accounts referred by you is abnormal or we may reasonably suspect that it is a part of fraudulent activity, we shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to forfeit not only Commissions earned for referring terminated customers, but all Commissions earned (regardless of whether paid or outstanding) by you during the term of Agreement and to terminate the Affiliate Account immediately. As regards settlement rules section 1 and 2 above shall apply accordingly, i.e. we are entitled in particular to deduct relevant amounts of forfeited Commissions from future payments due to you and if the Commission owed in the next settlement period is not sufficient, we may invoice you for payment of remaining debt.
  5. GetResponse reserves the right to charge the Affiliateof the cost of the chargeback procedure and deduct such a cost from the future payments of the Commission, respectively.

7. Reservation of Rights
