Affiliate Agreement
I would rather not have to write this page... But, since society seems to be evermore
litigious, I really don't have a choice. I have to lay out, in black and white, the
rules of the game.
My terms are pretty straightforward and common sense. I am a reasonable and fair
person, and am not in the business of trying to screw people. On the contrary, my
hope and wish is that you will be very successful, and I will do everything in my power to
help you to achieve that success. I hope that you, too, are a fair and reasonable
person. But, since I don't know you (yet!), I do have to lay out some ground rules
for my protection in case you aren't. I am sorry to have to be blunt, but this
program is not for everyone. If you can agree to my terms I will welcome you with
open arms. If you can't, well, then it is best if we part ways.
So what are my terms?
Let me summarise them briefly and make it really simple: I don't have any
liability for anything, and I don't promise you anything. My affiliate (reseller)
program is a free bonus that anyone can sign up for. There is no charge for
participation. I can terminate your affiliate status at any time, without notice or
reason.
Here are my terms in more detail:
Joining the Program.
- By filling out the affiliate signup form you will automatically become an Allegretto
Ltd. affiliate. Your participation in the program is solely for this purpose: to legally
advertise the various Allegretto Ltd. sites (such as 7stepstofreedom.com,
good-child-guide.com, etc.) and services and receive a commission on sales generated by
your referrals. You must be 18 years of age to join.
- You also agree to receive periodic mailings to affiliates regarding the Allegretto Ltd.
affiliate program, and you also agree to the more general Terms of Use
for each and everyone one of our websites. These Terms are appended at the end of
the Affiliate Agreement.
Affiliate Tracking
- After signing up for the program you will receive a unique affiliate URL which you will
use to advertise our websites. When someone clicks through this URL a cookie will be set
in their browser with your affiliate ID and their IP address will also be logged with your
affiliate ID. During that visit to our website or any later visit, when a purchase is made
the commission will be given based on the existence of the cookie or a match of the IP
address in the database. However if, before a prospect buys anything, (s)he visits another
affiliate and then clicks on that affiliate's link to our site, then the cookie and IP
login will be changed to reflect the most recent affiliate. In this case, if the
prospect buys, it is the more recent affiliate that will receive the commission.
- Cookies are set to expire after 365 days.
Affiliate Commissions
- You will be paid referral fees for every Allegretto Ltd. product or service purchased
with credit card or online check. This referral fee will be a percentage of the final
purchase price in accordance with the published commission rates.
- Allegretto Ltd. has the right to change the commission structure for any product at any
time without prior notice. At present we pay out 40-50% on Tier 1 and 10-15% on Tier
2 commissions on over 13 products. Whenever we add a new product, you will be
notified of the commission structure (provided you stay on our mailing list), and you will
also be notified of any changes to existing structures. As inducements to encourage
sales, we sometimes bundle together products, make special offers, or devise other
marketing strategies that may result in the sales price, and hence your commissions, being
different from what you expect. We will pay commissions only on the actual sales price
paid by the customer, not on the advertised standard price.
- From time to time we will run bonus promotions with additional incentives above and
beyond the commissions listed here. At such times, these additional commissions, prizes
and services will be delivered in accordance with the details of the promotion.
- Allegretto Ltd also sells various other products on which we do not pay any
commissions. Typically these would be other people's affiliate products that we
endorse, or occasionally other products (such as seminars, e-classes, etc) that might have
a high cost of promotion. We reserve the right to market and sell these products to
prospects that you have referred to one of your sites.
- You do NOT make commissions on your own purchase of our products. You may not use
your own affiliate link to buy our products. If that is your reason for signing up,
forget it! All orders are verified prior to paying out any commissions.
- In the event of a refund or chargeback, the affiliate (that's you) will be charged back
the amount of commissions paid. Your affiliate commission balance will be reduced
accordingly, and this will be reflected in your next commission payout. If your
balance remains overdrawn for 3 months (owing to insufficient sales, or excessive refunds
attributable to you), then you will be sent an invoice for the amount outstanding.
- Allegretto Ltd will do their best to make commission payments for the previous month by
the 15th of the next month. For example, any commissions earned in January will be
paid by 15th of February. There are two reasons for this: a) it simplifies our
accounting, and b) it allows some time for people to request refunds. This avoids
the annoying situation of having to go back to you to collect money for a refund. If
you can't wait that long for your money then sorry, perhaps you had better find a
different program. Occasionally the payment might be a day or two late. Again,
if you can't cope with that, then don't sign up. Having said all that, we DO PAY and
we don't screw people around. It is in our interested to see you prosper, so we will
do our very best to get payments out early rather than late. If we slip up, we will
do our very best to put it right.
- All commissions are paid solely through PayPal. We do not send checks or money orders if
you are not able to accept a payment through PayPal. At the time of joining please make
sure that your country is listed. You can do that by clicking
here. We cannot be held responsible if you sign up for the program without first
having checked to make sure you are listed and can be paid commissions this way.
- If your country is not listed then you will not be able to receive payments and as a
result, you should refrain from completing the application form. If you do not check first
to make sure that your country IS listed, then make sales and cannot accept PayPal, we are
under no obligation to send payments outside of PayPal.
Disclaimers
- Allegretto Ltd. does NOT in any way represent that you will make even a penny from this
program. The opportunity to make money is here. Whether you do anything with
it is entirely down to you (and perhaps some luck). You might even lose money if you
go about it the wrong way. That may sound harsh, but that is life! If you find
a guaranteed way to make money that does not have any risk and requires no investment,
then you must be on some kind of drugs or something!
Our Rights and Responsibilities
- When you sign up as an affiliate, you also agree to receive messages from us by email,
or by other means. We need to keep in touch with you to notify you of changes to
commission structures, to announce new products, and to provide you with tips and tools to
enhance your chances of success. If you cannot cope with receiving emails from us
(and we will keep them to reasonable frequencies) please don't bother signing up!
- Allegretto Ltd may revoke the affiliate status from any affiliate, at any time and for
any reason without advance notice. Reasons why we might do so include::
Inappropriate advertisements (False claims, misleading hyperlinks), Spamming (mass email,
mass newsgroup posting, etc...), Advertising on sites containing/promoting illegal
activities or promoting explicit sexual or pornographic content, Violation of intellectual
property rights (copying Allegretto Ltd material).
- Allegretto ltd. can discontinue or suspend the program at any time without prior
notice. The corporation has no obligation, either now or in the future, to continue
to operate a program.
- Allegretto ltd. can, at any time and without prior notice, change the products offered,
the specifics of any product or bundle of products, and or the commissions offered.
Any commissions earned up until that point will be honored. If there is a screw up
(which we will try very hard to prevent but, hey, everyone is human) we reserve the right
to make the necessary correction (whether positive or negative)
- Allegretto Ltd. Can change or alter this agreement at any time without prior notice.
Although we will make every effort to notify you of any change (normally be email
to your last known email address) it is your (the affiliate's) responsibility to check for
changes from time to time (The current agreement will always be displayed on the website).
We can in no way be held liable for your failure to make yourself aware of any
changes, and your continuing participation in the program will constitute your acceptance
of any change. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only choice is to
terminate your affiliate status.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
- You, the affiliate, are an independent contractor. You are in no way, shape, or
form an employee of Dr. Noel Swanson nor Allegretto Ltd. You are therefore solely
responsible for making sure that you comply with your country's tax laws, reporting
requirements, or any other obligations imposed on you by your government. You will
not represent to anyone that you are in an way connected with Allegretto Ltd or Dr. Noel
Swanson, other than within the terms of this affiliate agreement. You are not a
spokesman for the company, nor for any of the products. You will not do anything
illegal - such as reselling products to which you do not own resell rights, use domain
names that are not yours, represent that anyone can make any money whatsoever with the
products. You will not hold Dr. Noel Swanson, nor Allegretto Ltd. liable for any
lawsuits or other claims for damages of any sort.
- To promote our products and websites you may use graphic and text links both on your
website and in emails. Allegretto Ltd, or any of our products, may also be advertised
"off-line" in classified ads, magazines, and newspapers.
- You may use the graphics and text provided to you by Allegretto Ltd, or you may create
your own as long as they are deemed appropriate according to the other conditions in this
agreement.
- You agree not to misrepresent Allegretto Ltd, or any of our products in any way.
For example, you agree not to tell people that they can make any specific amount of money
from this program or any of the products. Allegretto Ltd shall be the sole judge of
what is considered a misrepresentation.
- You will also refrain from using dubious or unethical business practices, including the
sending of spam (unsolicited email). If there are any complaints about you sending
spam, your account will be temporarily suspended until we can complete our
investigation. If the case is proven against you then we reserve the right to
terminate your account, and you will forfeit any commissions earned from the date of the
incident about which the successful complaint is made. In short DO NOT SPAM - you
will regret it. This applies to newsgroup spamming also and most specifically to FFA
sites. It is against the terms to promote our products to anyone signing up for your FFA
site or by purchasing any type of SAFE LIST.
- You agree not to engage in any fraudulent practices in order to increase your payouts.
Doing so forfeits all commissions due. Causes for termination as an affiliate can include
but are not limited to fraud, suspected fraud involving your affiliate ID, spam complaints
attributed to your affiliate ID, and claims or representations that are inaccurate,
invalid or fraudulent.
- This affiliate program is a free bonus offered by Allegretto Ltd, you have not been
charged for it in any way. Through it you have the opportunity of earning
commissions by advertising or promoting the products that are displayed on this site.
Participation in this program does not give you the right to represent or resell
any other products that Allegretto or Dr. Noel Swanson may bring out now, or in the
future, unless they are explicitly included as part of this program. You do not own
the resell rights to any of these products - they are not "your" products to
sell, they are "our" products that you may promote (sell) on our behalf in
exchange for a commission fee as described throughout this agreement. All
sales must take place through the payment processing system hosted on your site. Any
attempt to sell the products off your own site, and to keep all the profits for yourself
(unless you have explicit resell rights granted by the original copyright holder) will be
treated as theft, and may lead to criminal prosecution.
Extent of This Agreement
- This agreement is between you, the affiliate, and Allegretto Ltd. a company incorporated
in England, reg. no. 4491958.
- This, and the accompanying general Terms of Use, are our only
agreement and supersede any verbal agreements.
- I sincerely hope that we will have an harmonious and mutually profitable relationship.
However, if there are any disagreements that we cannot resolve between us, then
Allegretto Ltd. reserves the right to take such disagreements to a recognised arbitration
board in England, whose ruling will be final and binding.
- We are operating this program in good faith for our mutual benefit. We make no
claim that the operation of the 7 Steps to Freedom affiliate program will be error-free
and will not be liable for any interruptions or errors. You agree not to hold Dr.
Noel Swanson nor Allegretto Ltd. liable for failure to perform, for indirect or accidental
damages (loss of revenue, commissions) due to affiliate tracking failures, loss of
database files, and any results of "intents of harm" to the program.
- This agreement is subject to the laws of Great Britain. Should any provision,
section or part of this agreement be ruled illegal, not-enforceable or invalid, it will
not invalidate the rest of the agreement. All other terms and provisions will remain
valid, enforceable and in tact.
- By promoting or signing up for the program, you agree to the terms and conditions above,
and also the generic terms of Use of Allegretto Ltd.'s websites as follows (incidentally,
you have have your own website you would be very wise to post your own terms of use on it.
