Explee Affiliate Program Terms

1. Definitions

"We", "us", "Explee" means Explee LTD.

"You", "Affiliate" means the individual or company we have approved to take part in the Program.

"Referred Customer" means an organisation that signs up to Explee through your affiliate link and becomes a Qualified Referral as defined in section 4.

"Platform" means Referly, the affiliate platform we use to run the Program, reachable at explee.referly.so.

"Net Revenue" means the amounts we actually receive from a Referred Customer, excluding VAT and other taxes, and excluding any amounts refunded, reversed or charged back.

2. Joining the Program

2.1. Applications are approved automatically: your participation begins when your affiliate account is created, with no review queue. We may still decline an application or close an account at our discretion, including under sections 9 and 13, and we do not have to give reasons.

2.2. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.

2.3. Your affiliate account is personal to you. You may not sell it, transfer it or share it, and you may not hold more than one account.

2.4. Your affiliate account, your personal link, your statistics and your payout details are held on the Platform. You are responsible for keeping the details there accurate and up to date, and for the security of your login.

2.5. You take part as an independent contractor. Nothing in these terms creates an employment relationship, an agency, a partnership or a joint venture between us.

3. Commission

3.1. We pay you 20% of the Net Revenue of each Referred Customer, for 12 months from that customer's first payment to us.

3.2. Commission is calculated on money we have actually received, not on amounts invoiced, and it excludes taxes.

3.3. After 12 months from a Referred Customer's first payment, no further commission accrues for that customer.

3.4. There is no limit on the number of customers you may refer, and no ceiling on total commission.

3.5. We do not pay commission for referring other affiliates. The Program has a single tier.

4. Qualified Referral

4.1. A referral qualifies when the organisation you referred makes its first genuine payment to us.

4.2. Creating an account, starting a trial and adding a payment card do not qualify a referral on their own.

4.3. If that payment is refunded, reversed, disputed or cancelled for any reason, the referral does not qualify and no commission is payable.

4.4. The following never qualify:

• an organisation that was already an Explee customer, or that was already in an active sales conversation with us
• a sign-up by you, by your own company, or by a company under your control
• a sign-up by your relatives, friends or employees, or by anyone acting on your behalf
• a second account or a second domain belonging to a company that is already our customer

5. Tracking and attribution

5.1. We credit the last click on an affiliate link made within 30 days before the customer signs up.

5.2. Where more than one affiliate link has been clicked, the most recent one is credited.

5.3. If we issue you a promotional code, use of that code also attributes the referral to you, and takes priority over a click.

5.4. Referral tracking is provided by the Platform, and the figures recorded there are the basis on which commission is calculated and paid. You can see your clicks, referrals and commission in the portal at any time.

5.5. We may change the Platform, giving you 30 days' notice under section 12. Commission already earned is not affected by such a change.

5.6. Tracking depends on the customer's browser and device. We cannot credit a referral that our tracking did not record, and we do not credit referrals reported to us by other means.

6. Refunds, chargebacks and reversals

6.1. We do not pay commission on money that is returned.

6.2. Where a payment is refunded, reversed, charged back or fails after commission has accrued, that commission is cancelled.

6.3. Where such commission has already been paid to you, we may deduct it from any future payments due to you. This right of set-off is not limited in time, because a card chargeback can reach us months after the original payment.

7. Payment

When commission becomes payable 30 days after we receive the customer's payment

Payment schedule monthly, for the preceding month

Minimum payout USD 25, and a balance below this rolls over to the next period rather than being forfeited

Currency USD

7.1. Payments are made through the Platform, by PayPal, Wise or bank transfer, to the payout details you have set in the portal. We cannot pay you until those details are complete.

7.2. Bank charges, transfer fees and currency conversion costs are yours.

7.3. We may withhold a payment while we investigate a suspected breach of section 9, and we will tell you when we do.

7.4. If your account is closed, any commission that is due, has cleared the period above and does not relate to a breach, will be paid in the next payment run.

8. How you may promote Explee

8.1. You may write about Explee, review it, demonstrate it, compare it with other tools and recommend it to your audience, your clients and your network.

8.2. You may use our name and logo to identify Explee in that content. You may not alter them, and you may not use them in a way that suggests we endorse you, employ you or have approved your content.

8.3. Anything you say about Explee must be accurate. Do not quote prices, figures, guarantees or results that are not published on our own website.

8.4. You must disclose clearly and unmissably that your link is a paid or commissioned one, in the way your own jurisdiction requires. In the United States the disclosure must be unavoidable, and in France it must be marked "Publicité" or "Collaboration commerciale" for the whole duration of the promotion.

9. What you may not do

You may not:

• Refer yourself. This includes sign-ups for you, your own company, a company under your control, or your relatives, friends and employees.
• Bid on our brand. Do not buy search or advertising keywords containing "Explee" or spellings close to it, and add our name to your negative keyword lists.
• Run incentivized traffic. Do not promise money, credits, cashback, prizes or any other reward in return for signing up through your link, and do not place links on coupon, cashback or discount sites whose value to the visitor is a discount rather than content.
• Send unsolicited messages. No spam, no purchased lists, no unsolicited bulk email, SMS or direct messages.
• Impersonate us. Do not register domains, social accounts or advertising accounts that imitate Explee, and do not present yourself as Explee or as speaking for Explee.
• Interfere with tracking. No cookie stuffing, no forced or automatic clicks, no hidden redirects, no browser extensions that claim attribution without a real user action.
• Break the law, or publish Explee alongside adult, hateful, misleading or otherwise unlawful content.

10. If you break these terms

10.1. If you breach section 9 we may close your affiliate account and withhold all commission that has accrued and not yet been paid.

10.2. Where a breach comes to light after payment, section 6.3 applies and we may recover the amount by set-off.

10.3. We may also require you to remove the content or advertising concerned.

11. Tax, invoicing and compliance

11.1. Before your first payment you must give us your legal name, your address, your country of tax residence, whether you act as an individual or a company (with its registration number), your VAT registration number if you have one, and your payment details.

11.2. We raise the invoice for your commission on your behalf (self-billing). You agree to this separately when you join, you agree not to issue your own invoice for the same commission, and you agree to tell us promptly if your VAT registration status changes.

11.3. You are responsible for declaring and paying your own taxes, duties and social contributions on the commission you receive.

11.4. We screen payees against applicable sanctions lists and we cannot pay anyone appearing on them.

11.5. We pass the details in 11.1 to the Platform and to our payment providers so that your referrals can be tracked and your commission can be paid. They act as our service providers and may not use your details for anything else.

11.6. Commission is paid for marketing and introduction services. It is not a licence fee or a royalty for any intellectual property of yours.

12. Changes to these terms

12.1. We may change these terms, including the commission rate, by giving you 30 days' notice to the email address on your affiliate account.

12.2. A change to the commission rate applies only to customers referred after the notice period ends. Customers you referred before that keep the rate that applied when they were referred, until their 12 months run out.

13. Ending your participation

13.1. You may leave the Program at any time by telling us.

13.2. We may end your participation at any time, with notice, and immediately where section 9 has been breached.

13.3. When participation ends, sections 6, 10, 11 and 14 continue to apply.

14. Liability

14.1. The Program is provided as it is. We do not promise any particular level of earnings, conversion or availability.

14.2. Our total liability to you in connection with the Program is limited to the commission actually earned by you in the 12 months before the claim arose.

14.3. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

15. General

15.1. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to a company in our group or to a buyer of our business.

15.2. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

15.3. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
