| Affiliate Agreement : Chime Host |
To be an authorized affiliate of Chimehost.com, you agree to abide by the
terms and conditions contained in this agreement. Please read this agreement carefully before registering and using the
Chimehost.com service as an affiliate. By signing up for the Chimehost.com
affiliate program, you indicate your acceptance of this agreement and its
terms and conditions.
How it works
Chime Host will provide our affiliates with unique tracking codes. These
codes must be placed in the HTML of your website and when clicked on will
direct the visitor to Chimehost.com. If the user places an order in the next
365 days from that computer or Internet connection, our automated system
will track the sale and automatically credit your account.
Commissions
Commissions will be paid to affiliates based on successful referrals. A
successful referral, or sale, is defined as: non-fraudulent, active for a
period of thirty (90) days, not canceled, new web hosting client who has
paid for services in full and has been directed to Chime Host through your
affiliate tracking link. Upon such cancellation of said commission, we will
provide at our discretion any and all non-private information to show
sufficient reason for cancellation.
Due to the high frequency of credit card fraud and cancellation rates, Chime
Host reserves the right to hold commissions for up to 60 days for
verification. Chime Host also reserves the right to cancel commission in the
event that Chime Host is unable to collect funds, the order is fraudulent,
the customer cancels and is refunded, or if Chime Host learns that the
commission was earned improperly. We do not allow self referrals and all
self referral commissions will be removed. The minimum balance for a payout
is $5.
Chime Host reserves the right to hold a reserve on payments in the event
that Chime Host identifies financial risk, chargeback risk, or an inability
of the affiliate to reimburse Chime Host for future chargeback costs. The
reserve amount will be determined based on previous commissions and signup
rates, risk analysis, and other factors. Chime Host reserves the right to
hold the reserve amount for up to 12 months and no longer.
