Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions

This Affiliate Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between Penguin Apps Builder and you, as an Affiliate utilizing the Penguin Apps Builder’s service (“You”, “Your”, “Affiliate”).

Last Updated: 20 March 2019

  1. Eligibility and Acceptance of Terms

To become a Penguin Apps Builder’s Affiliate, you must submit an application through Penguin Apps Builder’s Affiliate Signup, available at https://apps.penguinapps.biz/affiliates. By submitting an application for an Affiliate Program Account, you agree to these Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions, Penguin Apps Builder’s general terms and conditions, and Penguin Apps Builder’s privacy policy. This agreement incorporates both the Terms and Conditions and Penguin Apps Builder’s privacy policy by reference, which provides for binding arbitration and a waiver of class action rights. Where a conflict exists between Penguin Apps Builder’s general terms and this agreement, this agreement governs, except with respect to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions of the Terms of Service.  Please review these terms carefully, as they affect your legal rights.

Penguin Apps Builder reserves the right to accept or reject any application for membership in the Penguin Apps Builder affiliate program for any reason in its sole discretion.

Affiliates must be 18 years or older, or the age of majority, in the jurisdiction where the Affiliate resides.

  1. Qualified Referrals and Commissions

Affiliates will receive a commission for Qualified Referrals to Penguin Apps Builder. The percentage of the commission may change at any time and without notice.

“Qualified Referrals” mean customers referred by the Affiliate to Penguin Apps Builder and who (1) purchase a monthly or yearly subscription to Penguin Apps Builder; and (2) who do not request a refund of Penguin Apps Builder subscriptions.

Affiliates who share the same personal/company details, including but not limited to, last name, email address, IP address, website details or commission payment details, as their referred customer will be deemed to have made a “self-referral.” Referral commission and any earnings associated with this type of “self-referral” will not be paid. Penguin Apps Builder in its sole discretion will determine the meaning of “self-referral” and classification of any referral as a “self-referral.”

Affiliate referrals made to current Penguin Apps Builder customers will be considered “current customer referrals.” Referral commission and any earnings associated with this type of “current customer referral” will not be paid. Penguin Apps Builder in its sole discretion will determine the meaning of “current customer referral” and classification of any referral as a “current customer referral.”

Penguin Apps Builder, in its sole discretion, may determine that no commissions will be earned on particular “Add-On” subscriptions due to associated administrative costs or high production costs.

Commissions earned on referrals become “payable” after 30 days, which constitutes Penguin Apps Builder’s current money-back guarantee/refund period for customers.

If at any time, a referred customer files a credit card dispute, any earned affiliate commissions on those disputed charges shall become “frozen” in the referring Affiliate’s account until the dispute is settled. If the dispute is settled in Penguin Apps Builder’s favor, any associated earned commissions may again become payable to the referring Affiliate. If the dispute is settled in the customer’s favor, any associated earned commissions shall not be paid to the referring Affiliate. If commissions have already been paid out to the referring Affiliate, the amount of paid earned commissions on the disputed charges shall be debited to the Affiliate’s account.

You will not receive any interest on commissions held to your account.

Commission payments may be made via cheque or electronic payment. Affiliate is responsible for paying all applicable fees associated with accepting payments, including but not limited to, currency conversion fees, transaction fees, withdrawal fees, deposit fees, check cashing fees, etc.

Penguin Apps Builder, in its sole discretion, may disqualify an Affiliate from participation in the use of any or all portions of the Site if such Affiliate engages in any conduct that Penguin Apps Builder deems to be illegal, improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Penguin Apps Builder or detrimental to other users of the Penguin Apps Builder.

Penguin Apps Builder reserves the right to request documentation needed to verify Affiliate accounts. These requests may be made at the time of Affiliate application, or at any time while the Affiliate has an active Affiliate account. If requests for documentation are not made in a timely manner, Penguin Apps Builder also reserves the right to terminate, deactivate, or not approve Affiliate accounts.

You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Penguin Apps Builder, and its merchants, employees, agents, and shareholders, against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses.

Penguin Apps Builder reserves the right to change the terms and conditions or functionality of the Penguin Apps Builder Affiliate program at any time without notice. It is also agreed that after notification of Agreement changes, continued use of the Penguin Apps Builder Affiliate program constitutes acceptance of this Agreement. If you do not agree with changes to our Agreement, the Affiliate should cease promotion immediately and close their account.
