Affiliate Agreement

General
This agreement is entered into by Vexis and each of its Affiliate(s). “You”, “Your” refers to each and every affiliate or sub-affiliate of the Vexis affiliate program. Participation in the program constitutes full and complete acceptance of this Affiliate Agreement.

You agree that you are in a jurisdiction where participation in the Vexis affiliate program does not violate any law, ordinance, regulation or standard.

Commissions
Commissions are paid on a one-time basis for each new customer that purchases a qualified hosting package from Vexis as a result of a referral from an affiliate. All customers of Vexis, regardless of origin or referral, are the sole property and responsibility of Vexis.

The qualified hosting packages and their commissions are:
Standard – 900 SEK / purchase
Premium – 1200 SEK / purchase
Unlimited – 2400 SEK / purchase

For affiliates outside of Sweden, the commission will be converted to the affiliate’s currency based on the current exchange rate on the day of the sale.

For a commission to be paid out, the purchased service needs to have been active for at least 30 days, the commission also has to be approved by Vexis. Vexis reserves the right to disapprove any commission for any reason.

Referral methods
As a Vexis affiliate, you have two methods for referring clients.

Link
Vexis will provide you with an affiliate URL to specifically identify you, which will allow you to link to the Vexis website. You may post this link in any location, as many times as you like subject to the remaining terms of this agreement regarding acceptable links. Vexis will try to track any customers referred to Vexis via the link for up to 90 days, and if a purchase is detected, Vexis will assign a commission to you.

You agree to take full responsibility for ensuring the proper and continuing operation of your affiliate URL. You agree that you will notify Vexis if your affiliate URL ceases to function or ceases to function properly.

Support Ticket
You can create a support ticket through the client area to register a referral. To do that you need to provide us with the name of the customer, the approximate time of purchase, and any other information we ask for. The support ticket has to be created within 5 days of the purchase. If we can verify that the provided information is correct, we will assign a commission to you.

Payouts
Commissions are not paid until a payout request is submitted by you via the Vexis client area. If You fail to properly submit a payout request within one (1) year of the date upon which your referred purchase was made, You will forfeit the commission and You hereby agree to release Vexis from all liability for payment of any such forfeited commissions.

Payment methods
Commissions can be paid through a PayPal payout, a service credit on your Vexis web hosting account, or any other payment method agreed upon by Vexis in writing.

For payments to be made through PayPal, you must provide us with your PayPal email. This information should be provided to Vexis through the client area by opening a ticket.
