1. Enrollment

To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete Program application on our website.

We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your Properties are unsuitable for the Program for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, inclusion of content or links to such material that is in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, violent or that:

If we reject your initial application, you may reapply by modifying or resubmitting a new application for review and acceptance into the Program.

2. Promotion of Affiliation

a. We will make available to you, as a Publisher in the Program, a variety of Links and Licensed Materials which, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may display as often and in as many areas on your Properties as you desire. The Links and Licensed Materials will serve to identify one or more of your Properties as a member of our Program and will establish a link from your Properties to certain Sprizzy Properties.

b. In utilizing the Links and Licensed Materials, you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain the Links and Licensed Materials. You will not alter Links (or their content) or Licensed Materials in any way unless we provide this option through the affiliate program.

Each Link connecting your Properties to the pertinent area of our Properties will in no way alter the look, feel or functionality of our Properties.

Failure to remove expired Links or Licensed Materials may lead to your termination as a Publisher in our sole discretion.

d. You may promote only those Sprizzy Offers that Sprizzy has made available to you through our affiliate program. 

 

e. You may not act as or present yourself as a reseller of any product sold or otherwise acquired from Sprizzy (unless you sign up as an official partner).  Affiliate status is considered as a Referral Partner, not an official partner.

You will not post any promotional offers, advertised prices or any other information generated by or relating to Sprizzy (regardless of origination of such information) for posting on Publisher Properties prior to the date and/or time identified by Sprizzy as the start date/time for the posting of such information, or keep any such information posted on your Properties after the end date and/or time identified by Sprizzy.

g. If you donate any portion of your commission to any school, foundation or other charitable organization you may not state or imply that Sprizzy endorses such activities or is in any way responsible for the inclusion or donation of funds to any schools, foundations or charities associated with you.

You are only eligible to earn commissions on Qualifying Purchases occurring during the Term subject to the terms of this Agreement that are: (i) made via the intentional click by a Customer of a Qualifying Link that can be tracked and reported on through the use of our tracking technology and/or methodology during an active Session; (ii) made by new customers to the Sprizzy platform (referring existing customers will not qualify for a commission); and (iii) for which Sprizzy has received full payment that is not subject to bad debt or other chargebacks. We will not owe you any commissions for orders that are refunded, and we may deduct and exclude these refunds from commissions calculations on an ongoing basis, at least monthly.

b. Sprizzy may in its sole discretion modify the list of Eligible Products, Product Categories (including associated commission percentage rates). The changes will be effective as of the date they are posted within the Affiliate Publisher Dashboard.

d. All determinations of Qualifying Purchases and whether a commission payment is payable will be made by Sprizzy and will be final and binding.

e. In the event you fail to abide by the terms set forth in this Agreement governing the use of Sprizzy Offers, Links and Licensed Materials (including but not limited to the posting of other Sprizzy offers and certain information to the disadvantage of Sprizzy on your Properties), we may reduce unpaid commissions otherwise payable under this section as follows:

(i) Sprizzy is not required to pay any commissions on sales of any product where the sale was completed through an error or anomaly on a Sprizzy Property related to any information posted on the website or property associated with the Qualifying Link.

(ii) Commissions otherwise payable to a Publisher for any month will be forfeited where information prohibited by this Agreement is posted to the website or property associated with the Qualifying Link, regardless of whether any Qualifying Purchases occurred, and we may, in our sole discretion, terminate your account immediately.

6. Commission Payments

Approximately sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar month and only when the amount due to publisher is at least $50. Any balance of commission balance of less than $50 will carry over to the next payment period until the minimum is reached. Sprizzy will pay to you all commission payments owed by us to you in accordance with your Publisher Membership Agreement entered into between you and us. In the event that the affiliate program makes a payment to you that did not take into account all applicable Deductions or that was otherwise incorrect, we may offset the Deductions against any commission payments we owe you from the next monthly payment schedule. If no future monthly commission payment is due, you will pay to Sprizzy any amounts you owe within thirty (30) days of receiving written notification thereof. 

7. Policies/Pricing/Product/Service Descriptions

Customers who buy products from a Sprizzy Property through the Program will be deemed to be customers of Sprizzy. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, privacy, and Sprizzy product and service sales will apply to those customers.

We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we may determine the prices to be charged for products sold through a Sprizzy Property under the Program in accordance with our own pricing policies.
