Modifications
HomeHighSchoolHelp.com (The HomeScholar LLC) reserves the right to modify and update the Affiliate Program Terms of Service from time to time without notice, at our sole discretion. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Program, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Your continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your agreement to the changes.
Links and graphics on your site and in your communications
Once you have signed up for the HomeScholar Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. We grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to (i) access our site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such links, to use our logos, trade names, trademarks, and similar identifying material (collectively, the "Licensed Materials") that we provide to you or authorize for such purpose on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use when linking to The HomeScholar. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won’t change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and HomeHighSchoolHelp.com. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and HomeHighSchoolHelp.com properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to HomeHighSchoolHelp.com placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Special Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on HomeHighSchoolHelp.com product occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
Affiliate links will be provided on the Affiliate Center which point to the offer pages and other special pages on the site. Deep links, or links to other pages inside HomeHighSchoolHelp.com will not earn credit.
Referral fees/commissions and payment
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if a customer says they purchased or says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on new business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems. You will only be credited for sales from customers who are being tracked as your referral. If they are already being tracked as someone else's referral, you will not receive a commission.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $25.00 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $25.00 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $25.00 threshold.
Payment schedule
As long as your current affiliate earnings are over $25.00, you’ll be paid each month. If you haven’t earned $25.00 since your last payment, we’ll pay you the following month after you’ve crossed the threshold.
Customer definition
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
Your responsibilities
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
- The maintenance and updating of your site
- Ensuring the display of Special Links on your site does not violate any agreement between you and any third party (including without limitation any restrictions or requirements placed on you by a third party that hosts your site)
- The accuracy, truth, and appropriateness of materials posted on your site (including, among other things, all Product-related materials and any information you include within or associate with Special Links)
- Ensuring you follow all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your site and that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights)
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal
- Ensuring that your site accurately and adequately discloses, either through a privacy policy or otherwise, how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors, including, where applicable, that third parties (including advertisers) may serve content and/or advertisements and collect information directly from visitors and may place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers.
Compliance with the law
As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program participant. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in the Program you will comply with all applicable laws (federal, state or otherwise) that govern marketing email, including without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.
Termination
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to HomeHighSchoolHelp.com and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. HomeHighSchoolHelp.com reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon program termination, HomeHighSchoolHelp.com will pay any outstanding earnings accrued above $25.00.
HomeHighSchoolHelp.com, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other HomeHighSchoolHelp.com service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive, or questionable sales or marketing methods.
Limitations of liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of the HomeHighSchoolHelp.com will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
Independent investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB SITE. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
Miscellaneous
Because of state sales tax requirements, we are currently unable to accept affiliate applications from the State of Pennsylvania. Referral partner applications from other states will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
You agree that you are an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and The HomeScholar. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on Your Site or any other of Your Site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of The United States, without regard to the conflicts of laws and principles thereof. You may not amend or waive any provision of this Agreement unless in writing and signed by both parties. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
The failure of HomeHighSchoolHelp.com to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and HomeHighSchoolHelp.com and shall supersede any prior agreements and communications of the parties, oral or written.
