Affiliate Terms & Conditions |
Article 1. AGREEMENT
This Affiliate Agreement ("Agreement") is between EuroDNS S.A (‘EuroDNS’, ‘we’, or ‘our’ and the Affiliate (‘Affiliate’, ‘you’ or ‘your’). This Agreement, together with the associated schedules and appendices that form an integral part of this Agreement, explain EuroDNS’s obligations to the Affiliate and explain the Affiliate’s obligations to EuroDNS arising from this Agreement.
Article 2. PURPOSE
EuroDNS provides Domain Registration and related services for a wide range of Top Level Domain names (TLDs), at competitive prices on a worldwide basis.
Many organisations wish to make use of EuroDNS’s services, and some may wish to make use of EuroDNS’s services for their clients. To meet this requirement, EuroDNS has established its Affiliate programme, and provide tools to the Affiliate to monitor the progress and level of referrals passed to EuroDNS by the Affiliate. EuroDNS pays the Affiliate a commission based on a percentage of the value of sales generated by EuroDNS as a result of such referrals.
Article 3. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AFFILIATE
In submitting an Affiliate application, the candidate Affiliate is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information provided in his application, and for verifying that the information is correctly recorded by EuroDNS on the EuroDNS website.
The Affiliate agrees to make his best efforts to promote his link to the EuroDNS website, and to encourage his clients or associates to make use of the DNS registration services offered by EuroDNS. Commissions will be due to the Affiliate as a result of these referrals.
The Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the commissions due to him under this Agreement via the secure website access to such data provided by EuroDNS, and to bring to EuroDNS’s attention any discrepancies the Affiliate believe may exist in this data.
Article 4. RESPONSIBILITY OF EURODNS
On accepting a new Affiliate’s application, EuroDNS will create the necessary Affilate’s record area for the Affiliate, and communicate access and link details to the Affiliate.
EuroDNS will provide a mechanism to identify applications for new DNS Registrations, Transfers or Updates coming from the Affiliate, and credit any Commissions due to the Affiliate as a result of this introduction. See further under Article 5 below.
Any further responsibilities for the correct registration and contracting of any such applications will be in accordance with the Registration contract agreed between the Affiliate and EuroDNS. EuroDNS bears no further responsibility to the Affiliate with regard to the DNS Registration process.
If no revenues are generated under this agreement for a continuous period of 6 months, EuroDNS will have the right to terminate the agreement by means of written notice as under Article 10 of this Agreement.
Article 5. FEES DUE AND PAYMENTS TO AFFILIATE
All new clients introduced by an authorised EuroDNS Affiliate by means of a link from their website or online publication, will be recorded on the EuroDNS Management System as having been introduced by this Affiliate. This Affiliate will earn a commission of 10% on the amounts paid for registration, transfer or renewal services from such new clients.
EuroDNS will post details of any such orders in the Affiliate’s secure area of the EuroDNS database, and will record any commissions due to the Affiliate upon receiving the related payment from such new clients introduced by the Affiliate.
Where the total of earned commissions exceeds €100 in a given quarter, EuroDNS will provide quarterly commission statements by the end of the month following each quarter. This statement will be placed in the Affiliate’s account area, and will also sent to the Affiliate’s recorded e-mail address.
Amounts less than €100 will be credited to the following quarter. In this case no statement will be prepared.
In the case of Registered companies EuroDNS will pay earned commissions against invoices from the Affiliate, based on the current quarterly statement. EuroDNS will pay such invoices within 30 days of receipt.
In the case of private individuals, the amount noted in the quarterly commission statement will be paid directly into the bank account or PayPal account noted in the the individual’s EuroDNS records, during the month following the end of the quarter.
