AFFILIATE REGISTRATION PROCESS 



Once You complete an application to become an Affiliate, we will review Your application and notify You whether You have been accepted to participate in the Marketing Affiliate Program, or not. Before we accept an application, we may want to review Your application with You, so we may reach out to You for more information.

CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS 



Marketing Affiliate Program Limits. Each accepted Affiliate Lead will expire according to the information provided on the Program Policies Page from the date the Affiliate Lead clicked on the Affiliate Link that was made available by You. A Customer Transaction made with an Affiliate Code will override an Affiliate Lead, and the Commission will be associated to the Affiliate with the associated Affiliate Code. We will pay You Commission for each new Customer who completes a Customer Transaction after clicking on an Affiliate Link made available by You, or that have entered Your Affiliate Code, provided that You remain eligible to receive Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. You will receive a Commission payment for that Customer Transaction only. The Affiliate will not be entitled to receive Commission on any additional purchases of Weret Products by that same Customer via other links. 

Eligibility. To be eligible for Commission (i) an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Acceptance and Validity’ section, and (ii) a Customer Transaction must have occurred. Any transactions occurring on other domains not owned by Weret will not be eligible for Commission. 



Acceptance and Validity. You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any Customer Transactions that derived from Affiliate Leads generated by the Affiliate Link that We make available to You and are accepted by Weret. An Affiliate Lead will be considered valid and accepted if, in our reasonable determination: (i) it is a new potential customer of ours, and (ii) is not, at the time of submission or sixty (60) days prior, one of our pre-existing customers. An Affiliate Lead is not considered valid if it’s first click on the Affiliate Link is after this Agreement has expired or if the Agreement has terminated. 



Cookie Duration. Cookies used as part of this marketing affiliate program have a 20 day duration. If a potential customer clears their cookies during this period or use another web browser in which the cookie was not activated prior to the signup, We shall not be liable for any commissions that may have been owed to You.



Engagement with Prospects. Once We have received the Affiliate Lead information, We may elect to engage with the prospect directly, regardless of whether or not the Affiliate Lead is valid. If an Affiliate Lead is not valid then We may choose to maintain it in our database and We may choose to engage with such Affiliate Lead.

In order to receive payment under this Agreement, You must have: (i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement (completed through registration of becoming an Affiliate in the Affiliate Tool); (ii) completed all steps necessary to create Your account in the Affiliate Tool in accordance with our directions, (iii) have a valid and up-to-date SWIFT code and IBAN bank account and updated the Affiliate Tool with such account (iv) completed any and all required tax documentation in order for Weret to process any payments that may be owed to You.



Commission Payment. We, or a partner to us, will pay the Commission amount due to You within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter for Commission amounts over 100 USD that You become eligible for according to the Eligibility section above. We will determine the currency in which We pay the Commission, as well as the applicable conversion rate. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar referral fee on any given Customer Transaction (unless We choose to in our discretion).



Taxes. You are responsible for payment of all taxes 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.
