We have created these Terms and Conditions to ensure a smooth collaboration, by making our affiliate partnership requirements clear and upfront.
Please read the entire agreement. By joining the Custodi Affiliate Program you agree that you have read and understand this agreement and that you have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this agreement without the approval or consent of any other party.
Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
SliceWP is an affiliate manager plugin developed, owned and provided by Romanian registered legal entity DEVPUPS SRL.
Hereinafter the term “SliceWP” will refer both to the plugin, as well as the legal entity owning it.
1. Registration
Your application to become a Custodi affiliate is subject to a manual review process in order to assess whether we’d make a good fit. The review process can take up to 5 business days and you will be notified via email of our decision.
By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive occasional emails from Custodi regarding changes in the affiliate program Terms and Conditions, news and updates, or other information relevant to you as a Custodi affiliate.
You must provide us with accurate information regarding who you are, your business details, and the website(s) and/ or platforms you intend to promote Custodi’s products.
Reasons for rejected applications include but are not limited to any websites and/ or businesses that:
- promote or display violence, discrimination, sexually explicit materials, copyright and trademark infringement, spamming, scamming, or any other illegal activities;
- include in their domain name “Custodi”, its variations or misspellings;
- replicate or resemble our website design (explicitly or implied) in a manner that leads customers to believe you are Custodi or any other affiliated business;
- resell any of our products;
- are not aligned with our business standards or that are inappropriate for the product we sell.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive and that we reserve the right to decline your application at our sole discretion, without providing a rejection reason.
2. Commissions and payouts
The standard commission rate is 5% of the total purchase (excluding freight) made by customers through your referral link. If a customer subsequently returns a product for a refund, your account will be debited the 5% commission in that current monthly cycle. If the customer intends to reorder a product, we will advise them to return through your affiliate link.
The standard cookie duration is 60 days. Therefore, the customers have a 60-day time frame from the moment they click on your affiliate link to decide whether to purchase one or more of Custodi’s products or not. If they purchase after the cookie has expired, commissions will unfortunately not be registered (unless they use your affiliate link again). There may be instances where this cookie duration can be increased, and this can be discussed prior to activation.
Moreover, the commission will go to the first affiliate whose link was clicked (if the purchase is completed in the 60-day time frame).
For example: if the customer clicks first on your affiliate link and later on, when they decide to purchase, uses another affiliate’s link, the commission goes to you.
The minimum payout is $50 NZD. Payments will be made in NZD into your bank account monthly, between the 15th day of the month and the last day of the month. In order to comply with our laws, we need you to provide us with an invoice reflecting the respective amount due that month, by sending it via email between the 1st and 14th day of that month.
Example: by March 31st you have an amount of 250 NZD accepted and unpaid commissions in your balance. Between 1-14th of April, you send us an invoice for the 250 NZD. We transfer the amount to your bank account between 15-30th of April.
If you wish to reach a certain higher amount before getting paid, you can wait up to 3 months before invoicing us. You have the full obligation to comply with any laws and taxes you might be subject to in your country of residence as a result of rendering affiliate services to us.
We reserve the right to lower or increase our standard commission rates at any moment and for any reason. You shall be notified via email 30 days in advance before such changes go into force.
All commissions are subject to approval in order to be subsequently paid. Each commission’s status will be available in your affiliate program dashboard as “Pending”, “Unpaid”, “Rejected” or “Paid”.
3. Promotion permissions & restrictions
The following promotional methods are permitted:
- Giving your affiliate link directly to your friends or potential customers who might be interested in Custodi’s products;
- Writing a review on your blog or website about Custodi or any one of our products and linking to our product with your affiliate link (or other provided creative asset);
- Writing an article on your blog or website on a subject from the EMF and data shielding niche and linking to our product with your affiliate link (or other provided creative asset);
- Using your social media accounts to share your affiliate link with your audience (side note: make sure this is a practice permitted by the respective social network and that you comply with their Terms and Conditions as well);
- Promoting your affiliate link in emails, so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website and they have the option to remove themselves from future mailings;
- Podcast mentions of your affiliate link and/ or discount code.
There are certain promotional methods we do not tolerate and will have your account terminated, should you engage in such activities:
- Spamming (in any form and/ or on any platform/ channel, includes but is not limited to unsolicited promotional email, mass commenting on websites, posting your affiliate link on groups and forums where it’s not permitted, sending unsolicited direct messages, etc);
- Misrepresenting our brand and product in any way (includes but is not limited to misleading customers or using false information about our products, using fake testimonials, pretending you are an employee of Custodi or any one of our brand partners or that you are Custodi, concealing or misrepresenting your identity or your affiliation to our business, etc);
- Using paid advertising for your affiliate link;
- Placing your affiliate link and/ or discount code on any coupon websites.
Again, this is not an exhaustive list and we reserve the right to terminate your account whenever we consider your promotional activities are not aligned with our business values. If you are unsure whether a particular promotional method is accepted, please contact us in advance for confirmation.
4. Account termination
Either you or we may end this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice in the form of email.
Additionally, we reserve the right to terminate your account at any moment and without any previous notice, shall we consider that you breached any Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. Any pending or unpaid commissions that are subject to your violation of our Terms and Conditions will be withheld.
