 Qualified Customer Criteria and Affiliate Agreement

•  No Previous Accounts: Only customers who have never registered on the Platform before can be considered Qualified Customers.
•  Registration via Referral Link: Customers must register within 60 days of clicking the designated Referral Link to qualify. If a customer does not use a Referral Link, they cannot be considered a Qualified Customer. In cases where multiple Referral Links are clicked, only the Affiliate associated with the last clicked link will receive a commission. Affiliates should note that registration is tracked via cookies. If a customer disables cookies, Rizzle cannot track the registration, and the customer will not qualify. However, Rizzle may, at its discretion and upon providing supporting evidence, credit an Affiliate even if these conditions are not met. (Ensure the link is not broken to track the leads.)
• Expiration: A customer remains Qualified for 12 months from their first purchase.

 Commission Calculation

• Commission Rate: The commission rate is 60% of the net payment for Monthly plans and 8% for Annual plans purchased by a Qualified Customer. Commissions are one-time payments, applying only to the first billing cycle (i.e., first month for Monthly plans or first year for Annual plans). Commissions are paid if the total due exceeds $30 USD. If the amount is less, it will be rolled over to the next month's payment. A valid payment method must be provided to receive a commission. Available payment methods can be found in the affiliate account settings.
   
• Calculation and Payment: Commission is calculated based on net amounts received from Qualified Customers. The net amount is the total payments from a Qualified Customer minus any applicable sales tax and refunded amounts. Commission for the first month or year of a Qualified Customer's purchase is due one month after the purchase and is paid within the first five business days of each month. For example, commission for a purchase made on January 7th is paid within the first five business days of March. Commissions are only paid on amounts actually received by Rizzle. If a payment fails, the unpaid amount will not be included in commission calculations. If a refund is issued after the commission payment, Rizzle may request the return of the commission or deduct it from future payments.
   

Self-Referral Prohibition: Affiliates cannot refer themselves and will not earn commissions on purchases made through their own accounts.

 Acceptable Use Policy

During the term of this Agreement, Affiliates must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and must not engage in any misleading or inappropriate advertising. Specifically, Affiliates must not:

• Unauthorised Communications: Send unauthorized commercial communications (e.g., spam).
• Misleading Advertisements: Use misleading advertisements such as false claims.
• Inappropriate Content: Post or use illegal, hateful, obscene, threatening, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content or advertise on websites hosting such content.
• Disclosure Failure: Failure to disclose the affiliate relationship to customers.
• Incentives: Offer incentives like rebates, coupons, or other promised kickbacks from their affiliate commission.
• Self-Referral and Fraud: Refer themselves or engage in fraudulent transactions or activities.
• Trademark Use: Bid on or purchase Rizzle trademarks and brands, including misspellings, in paid advertising (e.g., Google Ads). Affiliates' domain names cannot contain the word 'Rizzle' or derivations mentioned in this section. Additionally, they may not use any brand name from the Rizzle platform in their domain unless permitted. Affiliates' websites must not use terms like 'official website' or 'Rizzle' in a way that might confuse customers about the site's ownership. They must avoid any terms negatively impacting Rizzle's trademarks and brands.

Breach of this Acceptable Use Policy will result in forfeiture of any earned commission and may require the return of any commissions already received.
