Welcome to Afrimash Affiliate Programme. Your affiliate account helps you manage your relationship with Afrimash as an affiliate.

Any person or entity that participates or attempts to participate in our affiliate programme must abide by these Affiliate Guidelines. By registering for or using the Afrimash Affiliate Account, you agree to abide by these guidelines.

  1. Description of the Affiliate Program

The Affiliates Program permits you to monetize your website, social media user-generated content, or online software application (referred to here as your “Site”), by placing on your Site links to the Afrimash.com website. The links must properly use the special “tagged” link formats we provide and comply with this Agreement.

When our customers click through the Special Links to purchase an item sold or services offered on the Afrimash Site (a “Product”) or take other actions, you can receive affiliate commission for qualifying purchases. [see our affiliate products and commissions here]. To facilitate your advertisement of Products, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools, application program interfaces, and other information in connection with the Affiliates Program (“Content”). Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to product offerings on any site other than the Afrimash Site.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any other person or entity’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

  1. Additional Provisions

By accepting this Agreement, you hereby consent to us: (a) sending you emails relating to the Affiliates Program from time to time, (b) monitoring, recording, using, and disclosing information about your Site and users of your Site that we obtain in connection with your display of Special Links and Content (for example, that a particular Afrimash customer clicked through a Special Link from your Site before buying a Product on the Afrimash Site) (c) reviewing, monitoring, crawling, and otherwise investigating your Site to verify compliance with this Agreement, and (d) using, reproducing, distributing, and displaying your implementation of Content displayed on your Site as examples of best practices in our educational materials.

You acknowledge and agree that (a) we and our affiliates may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit traffic on terms that may differ from those contained in this Agreement, (b) we and our affiliates may at any time (directly or indirectly) operate sites or applications that are similar to or compete with your Site, (c) our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement, and (d) any determinations or updates that may be made by us, any actions that may be taken by us, and any approvals that may be given by us under this Agreement can be made, taken, or given in our sole discretion and are only effective if provided in writing by our authorized representative.

You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our express prior written approval. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

This Agreement incorporates, and you agree to comply with, the most up-to-date version of all policies, appendices, specifications, guidelines, schedules, and other rules referenced in this Agreement or accessible on the Affiliates Site (“Program Policies”), including any updates of the Program Policies from time to time. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Program Policy, this Agreement will control. In the event of a conflict between this agreement and your agreement with an Afrimash affiliate under a separate affiliate marketing program that agreement will control with respect to such separate program. This Agreement (including the Program Policies) is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Affiliates Program and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions.

Whenever used in this Agreement, the terms “include(s)”, “including”, and “for example” are used and intended without limitation.

All non-public information provided by us in connection with this Agreement or the Affiliates Program is considered confidential information, and you will maintain the same in strict confidence and not disclose the same to any third party (other than your affiliates) or use the same for any purpose other than your performance under this Agreement, which restriction will be in addition to the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between the parties.

You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and us or our respective affiliates. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our or our affiliates’ behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your Site or otherwise, that contradicts or may contradict anything in this paragraph. If you authorize, assist, encourage, or facilitate another person or entity to take any action related to the subject matter of this Agreement, you will be deemed to have taken the action yourself.

  1. Modification

We reserve the right to modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (including those in any Program Policy) at any time and in our sole discretion by posting a change notice, revised Agreement, or revised Program Policy on the Affiliates Site or by sending notice of such modification to you by email to the primary email address then-currently Affiliated with your Affiliates account (any such change by email will be effective on the date specified in such email but will in no event be less than two business days after the date the email is sent). YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFILIATES PROGRAM FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH NOTICE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFICATIONS. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 6.

  1. Buying Items Using Your own affiliate link

As a general rule, affiliates are not eligible for commissions on purchases made through your own affiliate link. However, we recognize there may be situations where your business makes sales in such a way that this process is preferable. Since we monitor transactions for self-sales, we ask that you get in touch with us before you begin using your own links for sales so we can set up an arrangement that meets your processing needs.

  1. Violation of Affiliate Program Guidelines

If you have a concern that you may be violating any of our guidelines, please contact us. Chances are, we can find a way to work through this without any issue. That said, affiliates found to be in violation of the affiliate program guidelines will forfeit commissions relating to either the specific transaction in violation or all commissions assigned. Excessive violations will result in termination of the violating party’s affiliate account. We’d really prefer not to go there, so please get in touch with us if you have any questions whatsoever. We’re happy to help however we can.

15. Qualifying and Disqualified Purchases

1.Qualifying Purchases and Qualifying Revenue

We will pay Standard Program Fees described below for “Qualifying Purchases”. Qualifying purchases occur when:

(a) our customer clicks through a Special Link on your Site to Afrimash Site; and

(b) within 24 hours, our customer places an order for a Product,

(c) our customer actually receives and pays for such Product.

For each Qualifying Purchase, the corresponding “Qualifying Revenue” is equal to the amount we actually receive from that Qualifying Purchase, less any shipping charges, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, service charges, rebates, credit card processing fees, and bad debt.

2. Disqualified Purchases

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Purchases are disqualified whenever they occur in connection with a violation of this Affiliate Program Guideline or any other terms, conditions, specifications, statements, and policies that we may issue from time to time that applies to the Affiliate Programme. For example, no Affiliate Fees are payable for a purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your Site to the Afrimash Site are not properly formatted, or for a purchase through a Special Link that violates our terms.

Additionally, the following purchases that would otherwise be Qualified Purchases are disqualified and excluded from the Affiliate Program:

(a) any Product purchased after termination of your Affiliate relationship,

(b) any Product order where a cancellation, return or refund has been initiated,

(c) any Product purchased by a customer, where such customer does not comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the Afrimash Site.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
