Bookvertiser Affiliate Program Terms of Service

Agreement

By signing up to be an Affiliate in the Bookvertiser Affiliate Program (“Program”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”).

Bookvertiser reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Program, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account and for forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments earned during the violation.

Account Terms

You must be 18 years or older to be part of this Program.
You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Bookvertiser cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account.
One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account.
You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
You may not use the Affiliate Program to earn money on your own Bookvertiser purchases.
A PayPal account is required for payment.
You are wholly responsible for paying your own taxes in your own territory on any earnings from Bookvertiser. Furthermore, we declare all monthly outgoings from the affiliate program by each affiliate’s name and address to our own tax authority accordingly. You must revise your tax status in your territory to reflect your earnings status.

Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Bookvertiser. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won’t change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with referral link formats to be used in all links between your site and Bookvertiser. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and Bookvertiser properly utilizes such referral link formats. Links to Bookvertiser placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such referral link formats are referred to as “Referral Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Bookvertiser product occurring directly through Referral Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Referral Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Referral fees/commissions and payment

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click through a Referral Link from your site, email, or other communications to https://www.bookvertiser.com or internal link and complete an order for a product during that session.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted referral links that were automatically tracked by our systems.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

Identifying yourself as a Bookvertiser Affiliate

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 products, say you are part of Bookvertiser or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).

You may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.

It is absolutely not permitted to white-label Bookvertiser products, nor to package them as part of your own products or packages. It is absolutely not permitted to sell Bookvertiser products for more than the price given on our website to increase your profit margin. If you wish to white-label our products please contact us.

Affiliate link disclosures are an FTC-mandated practice. Essentially, whenever a link is used on your website that results in a commission, you must disclose this information to site visitors. This extends beyond affiliate links, and must also be done for endorsements, sponsorships, and the like. If you reside in the US or serve your website to US customers, you must declare links as affiliate links on the page you share the links. See more on these guidelines here.

Payment schedule

Payments are sent once a month at the end of every month via PayPal only. A valid PayPal account is required for payment. Payments will only be made in dollars USD.

Customer definition

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
