Submitting an Affiliate Application does not guarantee inclusion in the Affiliate Program. We evaluate each and every application and are the sole and exclusive decision-makers on Affiliate acceptance. If we choose not to allow your inclusion in the Affiliate Program, we will attempt to notify you in a reasonable manner. If you do not hear from us within a reasonable time frame, please consider your application rejected. We are not obligated to provide you with any explanation for the rejection, but please be advised we may reject applicants for any reason or manner, including but not limited to a website or social media page which violates our acceptable use policy, as described under this Agreement.

If your Affiliate Application is rejected, you may not reapply. If your Affiliate Application is accepted, each of the terms and conditions in this Agreement applies to your participation. We may also ask for additional information to complete your Affiliate Application or for you to undertake additional steps to ensure eligibility in the Affiliate Program.

4) NON-EXCLUSIVITY

This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between you and us. You are free to work with similar affiliate program providers in any category. This Agreement imposes no restrictions on us to work with any individual or company we may choose.

5) AFFILIATE PROGRAM

The Affiliate Program shall only apply to products from ENGO and BlisterPod’s brands. Depending on the country of your operation (and other pre-existing agreements), the Affiliate Program may only apply to certain products from both brands. Blisterpod will communicate the applicable products to you upon accepting your Affiliate Application.

After your acceptance in the Affiliate Program, you must ensure your account is set up thoroughly, including contact information and PayPal payout information.

Please be advised that the below is a general description of the Affiliate Program. Everything contained in this subsection is subject to the specific terms and conditions throughout the rest of this Agreement.

We will provide you with a specific affiliate link (or links) which correspond to certain products we are offering for sale (collectively, the “Links“). The Links will be keyed to your identity and will send online users to BlisterPod’s Website. You hereby agree to fully cooperate with us regarding the Links and that you will explicitly comply with all of the terms of this Agreement for the promotion of the Links at all times. We may modify the Links at any time and notify you if we do so. You agree to only useLinks which are priorly approved by us and to display the Links prominently on your website or social media page (collectively, the “Affiliate Site“), as described in your Affiliate Application.

Each time an individual purchases a product or service advertised through the Links posted on the Affiliate Site, and we determine it to be a Qualified Purchase (described below), you will be eligible to receive 20% (twenty per cent) commission of the sale of such product or service.

6) SPECIFIC TERMS APPLICABLE

We will determine whether a payout is permissible in our sole and exclusive discretion. We reserve the right to reject clicks and/or sales that do not comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Processing and fulfilment of orders will be our responsibility. We will also provide real-time data regarding your account with us through the portal on which you log into the Website.

As described above, in order to be eligible for payout, user purchases must be “Qualified Purchases.” Qualified Purchases, under this Agreement:
a) Must not be referred by any other partner or affiliate links of BlisterPod (in other words, Qualified Purchases are only available through your specific Links);
b) May not be purchased by an already-existing partner or affiliate of BlisterPod;
c) May not be purchased prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program;
d) May only be purchased through a properly-tracking Affiliate Link;
e) May not be purchased by a customer in violation of any of our legal terms or Acceptable Use Policy;
f) May not be fraudulent in any way, in BlisterPod’s sole and exclusive discretion;
g) May not have been induced by the Affiliate offering the customer any coupons or discounts;

7) PAYOUT INFORMATION

Currently, BlisterPod uses PayPal as the method of payout. Payouts will only be available when BlisterPod has your current PayPal email address. For any changes in your address, you must notify us immediately, and we will endeavour to make the changes to your payout information as soon as possible.

Payouts for a certain month will be available on the 1st day of the second month after they accrue. For example, the payouts for the month of January will be available for withdrawal on the 1st day in the month of March.

We explicitly reserve the right to change payout information in our sole and exclusive discretion. If we do so, you will be notified via your email address.

For any disputes as to payout, BlisterPod must be notified within 30 (thirty) days of your receipt of the payout. We will review each dispute notification as well as the underlying payout transaction to which it is related. Disputes filed after 30 (thirty) days of payout will not be addressed.

8) REPORTS

You may log into your account with us to review reports related to your affiliation, such as payout reports and qualified click and/or Purchase information. Please be advised, however, that not all listed qualifying clicks and/or purchases have been fully reviewed for accuracy in the reports viewable by you in real-time and therefore may be subject to change prior to payout.

9) TERM, TERMINATION & SUSPENSION

The term of this Agreement will begin when we accept you into the Affiliate Program and shall end when your participation in the Affiliate Program is terminated (the “Term”). This Agreement can be terminated by either Party at any time with or without cause.

You may only earn payouts as long as you are an Affiliate in good standing during the Term. If you terminate this Agreement with us, you will qualify to receive payouts earned prior to the date of termination.

If you fail to follow the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other legal terms we have posted anywhere on the Website, you forfeit all rights, including the right to any unclaimed payout.

We specifically reserve the right to terminate this Agreement if you violate any of the terms and conditions outlined herein, including, but not limited to, violating the intellectual property rights of BlisterPod or a third party, failing to comply with applicable laws or other legal obligations, and/or publishing or distributing illegal material.

We suggest all of our Affiliates (including those outside the United States) to comply with the affiliate disclosure obligation set by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). The FTC requires that affiliate relationships, such as the relationship between you and BlisterPod, be disclosed to consumers. We recommend that you seek independent legal counsel to advise you of your obligations to disclose in this manner.

You are encouraged to post a conspicuous notice on your website regarding the Affiliate Program. The notice does not have to contain the precise words like the example given below, but should be similar:

“We engage in affiliate marketing whereby we receive funds through clicks to our affiliate program through this website, or we receive funds through the sale of goods or services on or through this website. We may also accept advertising and sponsorships from commercial businesses or receive other forms of advertising compensation. This disclosure is intended to comply with the US FTC Rules on marketing and advertising, as well as any other legal requirements which may apply”.

We also require you to comply with any and all applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations, including all of those which may impact your country of residence or your visitors. Such regulations include, but are not limited to, any applicable laws in the United States or the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) of the European Union. We also require that you implement adequate organisational and technical measures to ensure an appropriate level of security for the data that you process. Further, you hereby agree to comply with any requests which we may make to you regarding compliance with the GDPR or requests which you may receive from data subjects (your website users).

If we find you are not in compliance with any of the requirements of this subpart, we may terminate our relationship with you at our sole and exclusive discretion.

You agree not to undertake any of the following actions:
a) Reverse engineer, or attempt to reverse engineer or disassemble any code or software from our Website or services;

23) GENERAL PROVISIONS

a) Language: All communications made or notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.

b) Jurisdiction, Venue and Choice of Law: Through your participation in the Affiliate Program, you agree that the law of Western Australia, Australia applicable shall govern this Agreement. In case any litigation specifically permitted under this Agreement is initiated, the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Western Australia, Australia. The Parties agree that this choice of law, venue and jurisdiction provision is not permissive, but rather mandatory in nature.

c) Arbitration: In the case of a dispute between the Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute personally and in good faith. If these personal resolution attempts fail, the Parties shall then submit the dispute to binding arbitration.

If the dispute is not resolved informally between Parties, you and BlisterPod both agree to settle any dispute by binding arbitration rather than in court. However, you may assert your claims in small claims court if they qualify. The arbitration shall be governed by the International Arbitration Act of 1974 and the Federal arbitration law of Australia.

To commence an arbitration, you must send a notice to us via support@blister-prevention.com. The arbitration shall be conducted under and resolved by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) under its commercial arbitration rules, which are found at its website at www.acica.org.au. The payment of filing and arbitration fees shall be governed by the ACICA’s rules. The arbitration may be conducted by phone, written submissions or in-person, as agreed to between Parties.

Parties agree that no dispute shall be brought on class action, representative or consolidated capacity but as an individual basis. If a claim is subject to court rather than binding arbitration, then you and we both waive any right to a jury trial.

We both agree that the following disputes shall not be subject to binding arbitration:

i) Any dispute seeking to enforce our right and any BlisterPod IP;
ii) Any dispute relating to theft, privacy or unauthorised use; or
iii) Any claims seeking injunctive relief.

d) Assignment: This Agreement, or the rights granted hereunder, may not be assigned, sold, leased or otherwise transferred in whole or part by you to another party. Should this Agreement, or the rights granted hereunder, be assigned, sold, leased or otherwise transferred by BlisterPod, the rights and liabilities of BlisterPod will bind and inure to any assignees, administrators, successors, and executors.

e) Severability: If any part or subpart of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of law or competent arbitrator, the remaining parts and subparts will be enforced to the maximum extent possible. In such condition, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force.

f) No Waiver: In the event that we fail to enforce any provision of this Agreement, this shall not constitute a waiver of any future enforcement of that provision or any other provision. Waiver of any part or subpart of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other part or subpart.

g) Headings for Convenience Only: Headings of parts and subparts under this Agreement are for convenience and organisation only. Headings shall not affect the meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.

h) Force Majeure: BlisterPod is not liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of civil authorities, acts of military authorities, riots, embargoes, acts of nature and natural disasters, and other acts which may be due to unforeseen circumstances.

i) Electronic Communications: Electronic communications are permitted to both Parties under this Agreement by email. For any questions or concerns, please email us at support@blister-prevention.com. We will pass any message/notice to you under the Affiliate Program or this Agreement to the email address you submit in the Affiliate Application.
