Affiliate Agreement

Last Updated: Nov 04, 2020

Overview

This Affiliate Program Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Composir Studios Limited. (“Composir”) and the signor of this Agreement (“Affiliate”), and is made effective as of the date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Affiliate’s participation in Composir’s Affiliate Program (“Affiliate Program") and is in addition to any other agreement that Affiliate may have entered into with Composir by virtue of being a customer. In this Agreement “you,” “your” or “Affiliate” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement. The terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Composir Studios Limited. (“Composir”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with Composir’s Universal Terms of Service Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us under the Affiliate Program offered by Composir. The Affiliate Program is purely a referral program by which you can earn commissions as outlined herein.


Changes and Modifications to the Agreement. 

Composir, in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Composir website (this "Site"). You acknowledge and agree that (i) Composir may or may not notify you of such changes or modifications prior to posting them to this Site and (ii) your continued participation in the Affiliate Program (via any platform) after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the "Last Revised" date on this page) shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement as last revised, you must formally terminate your Affiliate status. In addition, while not required, Composir may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your account ("Account") information, including your email address, current in the Affiliate interface that you have selected. Composir assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate or out-of-date email address.

Suspension or Termination of Affiliate Program Participation.

Composir reserves the right to suspend participation in the Affiliate Program in the event of an unresolved breach of this Agreement.. You agree that your failure to comply completely with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Composir rule or policy may be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement and that Composir may provide you with notice of such breach either in writing or electronically (i.e. email). If you do not provide Composir with material evidence that you have not breached your obligations within ten (10) business days, Composir may terminate your participation immediately and take any remedial action available to Composir under the applicable laws. Such remedial action may be implemented without notice to you.


Description of The Affiliate Programme

Acceptance into the Affiliate Program is at our sole discretion, which may be withheld for any reason or for no reason at all.

How it Works

Composir’s Affiliate Program allows you to earn commissions on sales to new Composir customers via advertising on your "web site" or "publishing location" (such as an electronic newsletter or blog) (hereinafter “Your Site”) that contains a link with your affiliate ID. This advertising will allow you to drive traffic (‘sessions”) to Composir’s website. You will earn a percentage of the revenue generated, or commission as outlined in your platform agreement, when a person or entity (that is not you or your agent(s)) makes a subscription payment for certain Composir products or services after being referred to through the unique affiliate link that is contained on Your Site.

Should the visitor click on another referral link that is not controlled by you, or return to the Composir website via another source-coded advertising link, your affiliate link will be overwritten and you will not receive commissions for that visitor’s subscription payments.

Enrolment. 

Enrolment into Composir’s Affiliate Program is via the platforms indicated on our Affiliate page on our website. 

Commissionable Sales. 

The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that Composir will only pay commissions on Composir website subscriptions. The Affiliate will only receive commission for subscriptions of other parties that signed up via the Affiliate’s unique referral link. Not all Composir products and services will be eligible for a commission. Domains bought on Composir, and other billed services (besides the website subscription) rendered by Composir will not be eligible for a commission.

Restrictions on Eligible Commissions. 

You are not eligible for a commission payment on purchases made by you, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors (all considered your “agents”), as well as purchases made from several accounts owned by the same person.

You acknowledge and agree it is your sole responsibility to indicate your correct unique affiliate ID in the promo materials you use on Your Site.

Enforceability

In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole.
