7. Promotion Restrictions
7.1 You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions brands and the e-commerce websites for which UberNet runs an Affiliate Program could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by UberNet as a condition of membership on the Affiliate Program
7.2 We reserve the right to review emerging trends and methodologies in advertising and to add to the list of techniques or activities prohibited under this agreement, at our sole discretion.
7.3 Advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us as it could cause damage to our name, and that of our vendors.
7.4 Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email, postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name or your return email address.
7.5 Subject to the relevant regulations in your market you may use mailings to customers to promote vendor products – UberNet does not supply mailing lists. Any mailings that mention or include vendor products must be compliant with the regulations of the recipient’s locality – such as GDPR. Where applicable this includes, but is not limited to, the recipient already being a customer or subscriber of your services or website and that they have the option to remove themselves from future mailings.
7.6 You may post to newsgroups to promote vendor’s products so long as the newsgroup specifically welcomes commercial messages.
7.7 At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from any and all of our vendors.
7.8 If it comes to our attention, from any source, that you are spamming we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Affiliate Program.
7.9 Affiliates that exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords directly related to the vendor’s domains, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – will be considered trademark violators and will be banned from the Affiliate Program. We reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
7.10 Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true and these are valid leads (i.e., sincerely interested in a vendor’s products) and that they are permitted to do so under local regulations.
7.11 Affiliates must not make us of any so-called ‘interstitials,’ ‘Parasiteware™,’ ‘Parasitic Marketing,’ ‘Shopping Assistance Application,’ ‘Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,’ ‘Shopping Wallets,’ or ‘deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders’. This is considered to be a circumvention of the terms of the Affiliate agreement.
As used herein “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that;
(a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer-initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email;
(b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place, or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, Bing, Yahoo and similar search or directory engines);
(c) Set commission tracking cookies through loading of a vendor site in IFrames, hidden links, and automatic pop ups that open vendor sites;
(d) Targets text on websites, other than those websites 100 percent owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing;
(e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100 percent owned by the owner of the application.
7.12 Affiliates may not use listings on coupon sites, utilise fake coupon codes or any other sort of deal offer to promote and of our Vendor’s Products.
7.13 Affiliates that are found to be cyber-squatting or typo-squatting on trademark-related domains will be immediately banned from the program.
8. UberNet Rights and Obligations
8.1. We have the right to monitor your site at any time and without notice to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you
(a) of any changes to your site that we feel should be made
(b) to make sure that your links to our web site are appropriate
(c) make you aware of any changes that we believe, at our sole discretion, are necessary to be made under this Agreement or other policies.
8.2 If you do not make the changes to your site that we feel are necessary we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program.
8.3 Uber Network Ltd reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the Affiliate Program or should you abuse this program in any way.
8.4 Uber Network Ltd reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you breach the terms of the Program or other applicable policies in any way.
8.5 Without waiving our rights to terminate an account UberNet may place an account on suspension while investigating issues arising from discovered situations or allegations from third parties. Such a suspension will be for a period of up to 28 days and may be renewable. Notice of suspension and any renewal will be given by email.
8.6 In the event of termination under clauses 8.3 and 8.4 all accrued commission is voided and UberNet shall not be liable to you for any commissions.
8.7 In the event of suspension under clause 8.5 all accrued commission is frozen and UberNet shall not be liable to you for any commissions during the period of suspension.
8.8 We reserve the right to ask Affiliates to provide documentary verification of their ID. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, all Affiliates who earn more than $10,000 (ten thousand US dollars in a calendar month) – in line with UK regulations on money laundering and high value transactions.
8.9 Vendor’s have an absolute right to refuse service to any prospective customer – including, but not limited to, those engaged in the practice of retail arbitrage or other breaches of their terms of sale. This right is recognised and accepted by all parties in this agreement.
9. Payment
9.1 You will create a password so that you may enter Post Affiliate Pro’s secure affiliate account interface. From their site you will be able to receive your reports that will describe our calculation of the commissions due to you.
9.2 For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a commission, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to a vendor’s site and buy the Product.
9.3 Commission will continue to accrue on every transaction that occurs via the Link, as long as the cookies generated from such a Link remain active. If that link is broken – for instance the customer deletes the cookies on their machine – then further transactions will not generate commissions. You accept that this is beyond our control and that we have no responsibility or liability for the lifespan of cookies or other tracking systems.
9.4 The commission structure is based on an agreed percentage of the transaction value and is subject to review and change at our discretion. We will notify all Affiliates, via email, 30 days prior to a commission structure change. Commissions earned under the previous structure will be paid under the previous structure. Commissions under the new structure will be paid under the new structure.
9.5 If a customer subsequently claims a refund on a transaction, for any reason, or if a transaction is reversed or refused by the vendor because of fraud, or any other reason, then the Affiliate commission on that transaction will be voided or reclaimed from your Affiliate Account. This can, from time-to-time, cause a negative balance on your account if the account balance has been paid before the refund or cancellation is processed.
9.6 If the vendor is unable to supply the products and orders are cancelled then the Affiliate commission on that transaction will be voided. UberNet has no liability for stock shortages and failures to supply, however they occur. This includes, but is not limited to, any suggestion of ‘lost’ commission. UberNet does not give promises or guarantees as to the levels of potential commission from any vendor site.
9.7 We reserve the right to void, at our sole discretion, commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive or questionable sales or marketing methods and/or terminate membership of the Affiliate Program.
9.8 All affiliate transactions are conducted in US Dollars, conversion to other currencies and any subsequent fees are the responsibility of the Affiliate.
9.9 Payments are made via PayPal™ to the email address registered on the postaffiliatepro.com platform at the time the payment is due. Balances over $1000 can be paid by bank credit transfer upon request and the supply of bank details.
9.10 You accept that currency conversion rates are as set from time to time by PayPal™ or the Affiliate’s bank, depending on the payment method. UberNet has no responsibility for setting these rates.
9.11 In order to control cost and administration time Uber Network Ltd operates a payment threshold. This is currently $100 and we reserve the right to review this in the future.
9.12 Payments to an Affiliate only happen when you've earned more than $100 in accrued commissions before the due date. If your Affiliate Account never crosses the $100 threshold then your commissions will not be realized or paid – however, account balances do not expire and the threshold can be reached over any period of time
9.13 Payments will also only be made, subject to the payment threshold, to Affiliates who have an account in good standing at the time the payment is due.
9.14 All payments are made in the amounts as recorded and notified by postaffiliatepro.com on the regular due date for that account. If your accrued affiliate earnings are continuously over $100 on the due dates, you’ll be paid approximately every 30 days.
9.15 Affiliates are entirely and solely responsible for the accuracy, validity and security of their payment information. UberNet accepts no liability for losses and costs incurred because of delays, theft, fraud or human error on your part – including, but not limited to:
(a) If information is wrong or incomplete so that payment can not be completed on the due date. Payment will not be attempted again until the next due date.
(b) If information is wrong or incomplete so that payment is held to have been made to the wrong party this is the responsibility of the Affiliate. This explicitly includes changes to the account settings so that a payment is diverted or stolen.
9.16 If you are registered for VAT in Europe and supply us with a valid VAT number this will be automatically added to your payments at the current rate.
10. Modification
10.1 We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time, at our sole discretion. In such an event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Affiliate Program rules.
10.2 If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued participation in our Affiliate Program after thirty (30) days following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.
11. Termination
11.1 Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail or email. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.
11.2 Payment of commission requires the Affiliate to have an Affiliate profile in good standing when payment is due – termination by any party will result in the loss of any unpaid commission.
12. Grant of Licenses
12.1 We grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to:
