Welcome to Sessions's Affiliate and Referral Program (hereinafter referred to, as the case may be, as the âAffiliate Programâ âReferral Programâ or collectively âPartner Programsâ). By participating in the Partner Programs, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following general terms and conditions.
You can find specific information regarding the Partner Programs in the designated Program Policies Pages (âthe Program Policies Pagesâ) here and here. Please consult them as they provide a thorough understanding about how these programs work and they are considered part of these Terms. Alternatively, if you still have questions about Partner Programs please contact our team at contact@sessions.us.
I. General Rules
- Both referral and affiliate programs provide participating partners (âPartnersâ) with the opportunity to earn a commission (âCommissionâ), whether through incentives for direct referrals in a referral program or through commissions based on sales or leads generated in an affiliate program.
- A "Lead" means a potential customer who clicks on the unique tracking link generated by You using the Partner Program Tools. An "Affiliate or referral Link" means the unique tracking link placed on your site or promoted through other channels. A âCustomerâ means the authorized actual user of Sessions who has purchased a Sessions subscription after being an Lead.
- If a Lead does not purchase the Subscription within the time period described on the Program Policies Pages or mentioned in the Partner program Tools of their first click on the Affiliate or Referral Link, you will not be eligible for a Commission payment, even if the Lead decides to purchase after the time period has expired. A Lead is not considered valid if itâs first click on the Affiliate or Referral Link is after this Agreement has expired or terminated.
- We are allowed to refuse the Commission payment if the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate or Referral Link, in violation of any Program Policies that we make available to you, misuse of the Partner program Tools or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Partner Program.
- In order to receive Commission payment, you must have: (i) completed all steps necessary to create your account in the Partner Program Tools in accordance with our directions, (iii) have a valid and up-to-date payment method in the Partner Program Tools with such account (iv) of necessary completed any and all required tax documentation in order for the Partner Program Tool to process any payments that may be owed to you.
- You are responsible for payment of all taxes and fees (including bank fees) applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us. C
- We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount and any other terms applied to the Partner Program as mentioned in these Terms or the Program Policies Pages. You will be announced about any material changes.
- Details of applicable payout threshold, payment terms and applicable cookie window can be found in the Program Policies Pages. Pending commissions have a minimum grace period of 60 days before becoming approved commissions (to account for any special case billing changes, refunds, or chargebacks).
- Self-referrals are not allowed. The program is intended to get you to refer to other people. This is not a way to get a discount on your own account.
- The Term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party notice of termination. Notice by email, to your address on our records, is considered sufficient notice to terminate this Agreement.
II. Partner program Tools
We use special tools from third party providers for managing and hosting the Partner Programs (âthe Partner Program Toolsâ). You will find information about the specific tools within the Program Policies Pages.
These third party providers also handle the commission payments which means we never directly handle your payment details. We do not have access to any of your payment data.
The management of the Partner Programs, including commission payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Partner Program Tools in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for errors by the Partner Program Tools. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that the Partner Program Tools make even if they have already made the commission payments.
