5.1. Process of valid sales attribution

5.1.2. A prospect must follow a valid affiliate link. Example: https://nitropack.io/#ABCDEF

5.1.3. A cookie is used to track your referral. This cookie is valid for 30 days. If within 30 days, the prospect registers for a Free or Paid subscription with NitroPack, the subscription will be automatically associated with your affiliate account. If the prospect makes changes to their subscription at any later date (even after a period longer than 30 days after registration), the Affiliate will still be attributed a corresponding commission.

5.1.4. An approved affiliate registration with NitroPack will receive attributions for Qualified Sales. A commission is attributed only to active accounts with Qualified Sales. A Qualified Sale includes: 

  • A subscription of a new user who signed up directly via the Affiliate’s unique link or within 30 days of clicking the affiliate link.
  • A subscription for any of our publicly available plans on the NitroPack Website that can be purchased directly without contacting the NitroPack team. 

5.2. Exemptions from Qualified Sales

5.2.1. Exemptions from Qualified Sales include but are not limited to: 

  • Purchase of subscriptions for the Affiliate's own sites.
  • Free NitroPack subscriptions 
  • Already existing NitroPack subscriptions 
  • Custom/agency NitroPack subscriptions purchased via customer support 
  • Overages associated with a NitroPack subscription

5.2.2. No commission can be attributed to referrals that happened without the referral link.

  • No commission can be retroactively assigned for referrals over the phone.
  • No commission can be retroactively assigned for referrals who registered an account or bought a Free or Paid subscription without having followed the Affiliate's unique referral link.

5.2.3. If previously Qualified Sales were later found to be non-Qualified Sales, NitroPack has the right to deduct the generated commissions for these sales at any time from your affiliate balance. If the balance results to be negative, the Affiliate must recover the balance to 0 USD within 14 days.

6. Affiliate Commissions

6.1. As an active NitroPack Affiliate, you will have access to your referral link via the NitroPack. You can use your link to promote NitroPack to your audience in accordance with section 3 in this document. You will be provided with guiding materials to help you promote NitroPack (see section 8) but it is your responsibility to carry out the promotion. 

6.2. Once a customer clicks on your link and makes a purchase in line with section 5, they will be linked to your account. 

6.3. A referred user will be linked to the first referrer account (so if a user subscribes to any of our plans and he had visited more than one affiliate links before that, the user will be linked to the account who referred him first) 

6.4. All purchases made by referrals are tracked using cookies. We guarantee that you will receive a Commission from a Qualifying Transaction/s, if the user's cookies are not deleted during the time between clicking the affiliate link to subscribing to a plan with us. We store/track cookies for a 30 day period. For this reason, Affiliates will not be paid commissions for referred customers registering an account with NitroPack after a 30-day period.

6.5. A tracking code is included in your affiliate link. You should not change that code ever. If you modify the code you will not be paid Commissions, as we will not be able to identify you.

6.6. It is strictly forbidden to falsely promise and deceive users to believe that your affiliate referral link will grant them non-existing discounts, better terms, more features or more service.

6.7. Only clicks generated organically will be considered. In case of forcing users to click or using unfair techniques you will be removed from the Affiliate Program, your account will be terminated and commissions will be forfeited at our sole discretion. Unfair techniques include, but are not limited to, the use of: Auto-Hit or Auto-Surf programs, displaying tracking URL within an iframe or image src, automatic pop-ups or automatic redirects to affiliate/partner URLs without action by the visitor, or any other method meant to automatically track a visitor in the affiliate/partner system without an intentional click.

6.8. Link shortening, cloaking, hiding, spoofing, or otherwise obscuring your referral link in a way that we cannot reasonably determine the source from which a customer clicks through such a link, is prohibited. You may use a link-shortener plugin to make links look shorter, but you have to mention Product name or NitroPack. Inc., so the person knows where they will be redirected.

6.9. A recurring sales commission on a subscription is assigned to the Affiliate for a period no longer than 18 months.

6.10. In case of a refund requested and received by the referred prospect, the Affiliate's commission is also nulled. The Affiliate commission is canceled and not payable to the Affiliate partner if the corresponding customer receives a refund, as described in NitroPacks's Refund Policy: https://nitropack.io/page/refunds

6.11. No commission will be attributed for non-Qualified Sales. 

7. Affiliate Coupons

7.1. Upon agreement, affiliate coupons are issued to the Affiliates. Affiliate coupons can be associated with your affiliate account. These coupons are used by end-customers to receive a discounted price off their purchase.

  • Upon visiting your referral link (see 5.3.), if your affiliate account  is associated with valid coupon, it will be automatically assigned to the end-user purchase, without requiring end-users to enter your coupon at checkout.

  • Your affiliate coupon can only be used by end-customers who have followed your referral link (see 5.3.). The affiliate coupon cannot be used by customers who haven't followed the referral link.

  • We will provide you with information about your affiliate coupon - the coupon code, the number of times it has been used, its expiration date, and its usage limit.

  • The sales commission is based on the rate at which the end customer purchases. For example, if a customer is to purchase a $100 plan with 5% off, using an affiliate coupon code, the customer would pay $95. The sales commission is based on $95.

You are solely responsible for keeping all your information up to date including postal and email addresses, name, payment information, tax information, and any other personal information that will impact our ability to process a commission payout.
