If We agree to enroll You to Our Affiliate Program, at Our sole discretion, We will make available to You a variety of graphic and textual links and/or widgets and plug-ins (including, among other, links for referring other affiliates, each of these links, widgets and plug-ins sometimes being referred to herein as "Links" or, individually, a "Link"), which are subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Links will serve to identify Your site as a member of the CharaChorder Affiliate Program and will establish a Link from Your site or email to Ours. In utilizing the Links, You agree that You will cooperate with Us in full in order to establish and maintain such Links.

You also agree that You will display on Your site only those graphic or textual images (indicating a Link) provided by Us or text messages expressly approved in advance and in writing by CharaChorder. All Affiliate Sites shall display such graphic and/or textual images prominently in relevant sections of their site. Furthermore, you agree not to use cookie stuffing techniques that set the affiliate tracking cookie without the Referred User's knowledge. Any information regarding CharaChorder and its associated brands that is going to be displayed on Your Site must be provided by Us and expressly approved by Us in writing in advance of any display.

2.2    All Links may be modified and/or expanded from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties hereto. You are not allowed to post any refunds, credits or discounts, or other content concerning CharaChorder, unless We have given You prior written permission in each instance. Affiliates may only use coupons and discounts that are provided exclusively through the Affiliate Program using banners and links provided by Us. Any violations of the terms surrounding links, coupons, refunds, credits or discounts shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and may result in Us terminating your eligibility to be an Affiliate of CharaChorder and disqualifying you from the Affiliate program and/or withholding of Your Commissions.

3. Order Processing

We will process orders placed by Referred Users who followed the Links from your Site to the CharaChorder sites. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with all requirements under this Agreement and our Terms of Service. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including CharaChorder service, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be Our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by Your Site and will make this information available to you through our affiliate website. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and Commission accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your Site and our website are properly formatted.

4. Commission Determination

4.1    Under the Affiliate Program, you will be paid a Commission Fee for each Qualified Purchase by a Referred User that you refer to CharaChorder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Referred User and each Qualified Purchase must meet the following criteria (the "Criteria"):

4.1.1      Each Referred User must be a new and unique visitor to CharaChorder.

4.1.2      Each affiliate must register by completing and submitting the Registration Form using a valid and unique account and billing information.

4.1.3      Commission shall not be paid to the Affiliate for a Referred User that was already tracked through CharaChorder's tracking system prior to visiting through the Affiliate.

4.1.4  Each Referred User must make a Qualified Purchase, and provide a valid payment for the purchased CharaChorder services. To generate a Commission Fee for You, each Referred User must be an active, Qualified User of CharaChorder and must be up-to-date in all payments at the time the Commission Fees are processed, and not have been subject to a refund, credit, cancellation, suspension or chargeback (these purchases shall be deducted from the Commission Fee as further detailed in Section 4.2.1 below).

4.1.5      Each Referred User must sign up in a manner, which in Our sole judgment, definitively establishes that the Referred User was referred for the first time directly from You to CharaChorder under this Agreement based on our Tracking System.

4.1.6      Each Referred User must remain in compliance with our Terms and Service, and all applicable policies and guidelines of CharaChorder that are applicable at the time the Commission Fees are processed.

4.1.7      Commission Fees may not be paid for the Qualified Purchase if the Referred User received a refund or credit from the Affiliate.

4.1.8      CharaChorder reserves the right to withhold initial Commission Fees for Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by CharaChorder in its sole discretion, in order to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Users.

4.1.9      CharaChorder reserves the right to suspend payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or Fraudulent Traffic, improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms in this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred User(s). CharaChorder reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate's current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and canceled CharaChorder purchases. Where no subsequent Commission Fee is due and owing, CharaChorder will send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such Commission set off upon termination of the Affiliate Program or termination of the Referred User.

4.1.10   CharaChorder, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withhold indefinitely any Commission Fee, and/or to reverse, deny or reject any Commission Fee, and/or to deny or reject any Affiliate account, and/or terminate this Agreement immediately, for:

(i)    Any account/sale which has not been in an approved status in good standing as an account of CharaChorder for a period of at least thirty (30) days.

(ii)  All commissions generated for accounts that may be subject to Fraudulent Traffic.

(iii)  Any orders deemed to be fraudulent or for which We see a pattern of potentially fraudulent activity, including, without limitation, where there are multiple accounts (whether CharaChorder accounts or Affiliate accounts) which are being operated by the same User or person, or referral of accounts which do not comply with this Agreement.

(iv)  Altering Our Links in any way.

(v)   Affiliates whom we believe may be artificially submitting Referred Users or charging double commissions, using false advertising, using marketing practices that we deem to be unethical or likely to attract fraudulent signups and/or signups with a very low likelihood of renewal.

(vi)  Any direct referral or traffic to CharaChorder Sites from search engines, and/or the use of “CharaChorder” as a key-word for paid ads in search engines, including, without limitations, Facebook, Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.

(vii) Any use of misleading sites, or accounts in social media.

4.2           Commission Fee Accrual and Payments

4.2.1      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, We will pay a Commission Fee equal to the specified percentage or dollar amount in accordance with the Commission Plan with respect to Qualified Purchases, less any Canceled Purchases. Commission Fees will be processed 30 days after the end of the month in which they accrued as set forth below, provided that Affiliate issues an invoice within 10 days from the end of that calendar month, otherwise the payment will be made on the following monthly payment cycle.

4.2.2      As of January 2023, Commissions may be paid in non-USD currencies as may be determined by CharaChorder, in accordance with CharaChorder's policy and subject to applicable law. Charges for wires or conversion fees may be deducted from the Commissions in accordance with CharaChorder’s policy. Please note that Your Affiliate Commission balance is always derived from its USD value and, therefore, the foreign currency payment amount may change in accordance with the applicable exchange rates at the time of payment.

4.2.3      Commissions will accrue and only become payable once (i) you provide all relevant tax and address information pursuant to Section 6 below; and (ii) Commissions accrued to a minimum of $100 (the "Commission Threshold") based on the commission rates stated on CharaChorder Tracking System.

4.3           Commission Plan

The CharaChorder Affiliates program offers Commissions for every Qualified Purchase, as described in the Commission Plan, available at: https://collabs.shopify.com/ (the “Commission Plan”).

Sales Plan: Affiliates are also offered a “Sales Plan” which combines both one-time commissions for the first Qualified Purchase made by a Referred User, plus a certain rate of revenue share for all subsequent purchases (after discounts or promotions, and excluding Service Fees) made by such Referred User during the first year following their first Qualified Purchase. Please see the Commission Plan page for more information. The Sales Plan applies only to purchases of CharaChorder items. In order for the Affiliates to benefit from the Sales Plan, the Referred User must be selected based on sales performance. Only Referred Users that qualify for the Sales Plan would entitle the Affiliates to Sales commissions. 

CharaChorder Business Affiliate Commissions: With respect to CharaChorder Business Accounts, Affiliates will be entitled to receive a certain rate of revenue share from all purchases (excluding Service Fees) made by a Referred User’s Business Account during the first year following the first Qualified Purchase of such Business Account. Affiliates may be offered additional one-time commissions once a Business account reaches a certain spend milestone. Please see the Commission Plan page for more information.

CharaChorder reserves the right to change the Commission Plan at any time and/or agree on special commission rates with certain Affiliates individually and/or reduce future commission rates for individual Affiliates (subject to prior notice) based on poor performance or due to the Affiliate promoting their own CharaChorder services.

4.3.1      Payment Forms/Types

Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in Your Affiliate profile. It is your responsibility to notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating Your profile information. Payment shall be made within 30 days of the end of the applicable calendar months for Commission due for such month.

5. Disputes

Affiliate has access to CharaChorder's real-time Affiliate Program statistics and activity and specifically agrees to file any tracking or commission disputes as well as any other disputes and discrepancies within 10 days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes filed after more than 10 days of the date on which the Qualified Purchase occurred will not be accepted by CharaChorder and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
