 Setting Up an Affiliate Account and Earning Commission

To set up an Affiliate Account please fill in the online sign-up form on our website. Once your application is approved we will provide you with a unique link (or links) to post on your website and social media platforms. Each ‘click’ on this link will be registered on your Affiliate Account using a cookie which is set on the user’s computer, please note that just clicking on the link does not entitle you to a commission. You will earn commission at the rate set out on our website for each actual sale made through that link. We pay commission on the sale price of our products and no commission will be paid on any delivery charges or sales taxes paid by the customer. Our Programme will attribute the sale to the affiliate whose link was the last one that the customer clicked on before making a purchase. This means that though your referral could still be within the agreed cookie duration, you will not earn a commission if they clicked on another affiliate’s link and ended up purchasing the product.

Payments

We pay our Affiliates through PayPal if you have a PayPal account set up. Please ensure that the PayPal email address listed on your account is correct so that we can make payments to you when they are due. If the address is incorrect then payments will not reach you so it is your responsibility to update your PayPal email address if you change it. We may also make payments to a UK Bank Account.

Affiliate payment dates are the 10th of the month following the placement and payment of a qualifying order. All Affiliate payments are paid gross. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any tax or insurance due on these payments and you indemnify Ravenol UK against any claims, losses, damages or any other liabilities which arise as a result of you not declaring and paying those sums.

Termination and Closure of Inactive Accounts

We do not place any obligation on our Affiliates to meet sales quotas. However, if any Affiliate Account remains inactive for a period of one calendar year or for a period of twelve months from the day the account is first registered, then we will close that account, meaning any clicks using the unique link associated with that account will no longer be registered to that account and no commission will be payable in respect of any sales coming through that link.

You can choose to end your membership of our Affiliate programme at any time, for any reason, by notifying us that you wish to do so. We will then close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Any commission which has not already been paid to you at the date that your account is closed will be paid through to you within one month of your account being closed.

We can terminate your membership of our Affiliate Programme at any time, for any reason, by giving you thirty days’ written notice. At the end of this period we will close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Any commission which has not already been paid to you at the date that your account is closed will be paid through to you on our next payment date.

We can also terminate your membership of the Affiliate Programme with immediate effect if you breach any of these Terms and do not remedy that breach (if capable of remedy) within seven days of notice from us. If you do not correct the relevant breach within this period we will close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Once your account has been closed no further commission will be payable, including any commission which has accrued to your account but not yet been paid to you.

We have a strict criteria for the sites and platforms hosting our promotions. For example, sites must not contain replicated content from another site creator and already be available to the public, nor contain obscene or offensive material, promote violence or illegal acts, or contain content deemed harmful to others. If this criteria is not strictly adhered to we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account without notice or compensation.

In addition to the termination provisions above, either you or we will be entitled to terminate your membership immediately by notifying the other in writing if the other is declared bankrupt, enters into insolvency or administration proceedings.

The rights to terminate set out above do not prejudice any other right or remedy available to you or us.

If your membership of our Affiliate Programme is terminated for any reason you will be entitled to receive any unpaid commission registered on your Affiliate Account, unless payment is excluded for any reason set out in the above paragraphs. You will not be entitled to, or have any claim against Ravenol UK for compensation of any sort.

Unless these Terms state otherwise, on termination of your Affiliate Account neither you nor we will have any further obligation to the other under these Terms.
