Commission
1. Commission Rates. Available
commissions are set forth in the Affiliate Tool. Commissions may be based on
either purchase or signup (not both), and purchase commissions may be
calculated based on monthly or annual purchases at the rates set forth in the
Affiliate Tool.
2. Limitations:
a. For purchase commissions, you will receive commission for the
first purchase made by a new customer who is not in an active sales process
with us at the time of the affiliate link click.
b. The customer needs to be an active customer for the locking
period in the Affiliate Tool.
c. Commissions will still be counted if a user starts on one
domain and then signs up or purchases on another COSMO Racing domain.
d. Affiliate links
may rely on cookies to track referrals. Therefore if cookies get cleared, we
may not be able to track these events.
e. Cookie windows
are stated in the Affiliate Tool.
f. Only affiliate
links can be used to track referrals. Incorrect use of affiliate links will
cause inability to track referrals.
g. You cannot use affiliate links to refer clients you are
servicing. You also can't be a billing contact or user of the account referred.
h. Fraudulent or
stolen attribution is a non payable event. If we suspect fraud (for example, if
we see that signups are all from the same city or IP address) we may require
you to prove that the referrals are valid.
There are a number of other limitations that may result in
commission not being paid - we encourage you to read the MarketingAffiliate Program Agreement for more information on this.
3. Upgrades/downgrades. You do not
receive additional commission if a customer upgrades to a higher tiered product
in the future. If a customer downgrades, you will receive the commission
associated with that downgrade.
4. Attribution. In the event a single
customer clicks two different affiliate links, the last affiliate gets the
credit. We do, however, reserve the right to modify this in certain
circumstances.
Promoting COSMO Racing
1. COSMO Racing Branding
Do Not:
Use false or
misleading statements on the benefits of using COSMO Racing (e.g. “Get rich
quick with COSMO Racing”).
Modify or adjust
the COSMO Racing wordmark or sprocket logo in any sort of marketing material
you might create, including the creation of any visual badges or dual-logo
lockups.
2. What to call yourself
As we have multiple
ways to partner with COSMO Racing and several ways to reference those relationships,
here are some guidelines around what you can and cannot call yourself within
the COSMO Racing Affiliate Program.
Do: Say you’re a “COSMO
Racing Marketing Affiliate” or “Marketing Affiliate”.
Do Not: Refer to
yourself as a Partner or that you’ve “partnered with COSMO Racing.” This
includes press releases, references in videos, listings on your website, or in
any other marketing material you may be using.
3. Buying Ads
You will not
purchase ads that direct to your site(s) or through an affiliate link that
could be considered as competing with COSMO Racing’s own advertising,
including, but not limited to, our branded keywords. If running ads, you need
to direct the ad to your own website (and not to COSMO Racing.com or a
standalone landing page).
Policies that don’t fit into the other buckets
1.
Survey Participation: We would encourage you to
participate in any affiliate-specific NPS surveys, industry surveys, marketing
surveys, etc. as we request.
2.
Sharing Placements: When requested, you’ll share the
places you’ve used your affiliate link. This includes, but is not limited to,
links, screenshots, and email sends.
3.
Purchasing COSMO Racing yourself: One of the benefits of the
Affiliate Program is we don’t require you to purchase COSMO Racing products.
Though if you decide to purchase, we require that you do not use your own
affiliate link.
4.
App Partner Program: When promoting COSMO Racing for the
App Partner Program, you are not allowed to use an affiliate link.
5.
Solutions Partner Program: If you’re also part of one of COSMO
Racing’s other commission programs, you will only receive commission for either
that program or the affiliate program depending on whether you registered the
lead or the customer went through your affiliate link. When working
with clients, you are not allowed to use your affiliate link. You must join the
Solutions Partner Program to refer clients.
6. You must be FTC compliant and disclose in a clear way before the affiliate link that you will receive commission if someone clicks through and purchases.
