Publisher Terms and Conditions

Preamble

These Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement’) govern your participation as a member (the “Publisher”) of the Solifare Affiliate Network (the “Program”). The Publisher covenants and agrees to be bound by this Agreement and Privacy Policy located at http://solifare.co/, as amended by Solifare from time to time.

 

Definitions

“Client” means a client of Solifare.

“Offer” means a promotional offer published by Solifare on the Program Site, in an electronic mail or both, setting out an advertising offer on behalf of a Client and containing such additional terms and conditions as the Client and Solifare, in their discretion, consider necessary from time to time.

“Program Site” means the website for the Program operated by Solifare and situated at http://solifare.co

“Sub-Affiliate” means an independent third party contracted by the Affiliate.

 

The Program

Solifare will permit the Publisher to participate in the Program, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions in this Agreement and in any policies established by Solifare, from time to time, and incorporated by reference in this Agreement.

The Publisher will be issued a unique account id and password to access the Program Site, neither of which may be used by any person other than the Affiliate.

The Publisher may engage Sub-Affiliates to distribute Offers in accordance with the Program, provided that:

  • the Publisher has written approval from a Solifare Representative to contract Sub-Affiliates;
  • a verifiable name, address and telephone number for each Sub- Publisher is delivered to Solifare immediately upon request;
  • the proposed Sub- Publisher agrees, in form satisfactory to Solifare, to abide by paragraphs 3.8, 4.3, Sections 6.4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement and the Solifare Policies (collectively, the “Sub- Publisher Provisions”), as amended from time to time; and at no time will the Publisher engage a Sub- Publisher who, in the opinion of Solifare is likely to bring the reputation or standing of Solifare into disrepute or is otherwise unsuitable.

It is expressly agreed that the parties intend by this Agreement to establish a relationship between Solifare and the Affiliate, but that it is not the intention of either party to undertake a joint venture or to make the Publisher in any sense an agent, employee, or partner of Solifare. The parties expressly agree that they are independent contractors, and that this Agreement does not in any way create a partnership as contemplated by the Partnership Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c.348, nor have the parties granted to each other any right or authority to assume or create any obligation of responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other, or to bind the other in any manner whatsoever.

It is further agreed that the Publisher has no authority to create or assume in Solifare’s name or on its behalf any obligation, express or implied, or to act or purport to act as its agent or representative for any purpose whatsoever and the Publisher shall not hold itself out as having any such authority.

Publisher will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the Publisher website and for all materials that appear on the Publisher website. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the technical operation of the Publisher website and all related equipment; creating and posting product reviews, descriptions, and references on the Publisher website and linking those descriptions to the Program Site; the accuracy and propriety of materials posted on the Publisher website; and ensuring that materials posted on the Publisher website do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party and are not libelous or otherwise illegal. Solifare disclaims all liability and responsibility for such matters.

Other than as provided in this Section 3, Publisher may not sublease, rent, lease, sell, resell, outsource or service any Offer, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void.

Offer

Offers will be posted to the Program Site.

Solifare grants the Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to download Offers from the Program Site and to publish the same on the Affiliate’s websites and in electronic mail correspondence sent by the Affiliate, all of which must be done in accordance with this Agreement, Solifare Policies, as amended from time to time, and any additional terms and conditions affixed to each of the said Offers.

The Publisher agrees not to modify, alter, misrepresent or embellish the Offer or any part of the Offer including without limitation any text or images provided by or on behalf of Solifare or the Client in any way, directly or indirectly, without the express prior written consent of Solifare.

Compensation

Solifare will pay to the Publisher a commission (the “Commission”), calculated in accordance with the payment terms outlined in each Offer posted by Solifare on the Program Site. Solifare applies either monthly NET 15 or weekly NET 7 payment plans at its sole discretion, unless mutually agreed otherwise. Notwithstanding of the selected payment method (e.g. paypal, payoneer, webmoney etc.) the Publisher shall provide Solifare with their actual bank details.

Commissions will be paid to the Publisher only following receipt by Solifare of payment from the Client in respect of such Offer published in the Program online reporting system. Solifare may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, elect to advance to the Publisher part or all of the Commissions prior to receipt of payment from the Client, but in no event will Solifare be obligated to do so.

The Publisher acknowledges and agrees that payment of Commissions may be delayed where the Publisher has not provided Solifare with current particulars in accordance with paragraph 7.2(m) of this Agreement and that in no case will Solifare be liable to the Publisher for any loss, costs or expenses directly or indirectly incurred by the Publisher as the result of such delay.

Minimum amount that can be paid to the Publisher in a given billing period must exceed US$500.00 (Five Hundred US Dollars). Payment in the amount less than US$500.00 is possible in case of termination of the Agreement mutually agreed by the parties or its cancelation that is not related to any breach of contractual provisions or applicable laws by the Affiliate, or upon individual agreement between the parties.

Commissions due and payable by Solifare to an Publisher will not accrue interest.

Payments to an Publisher in accordance with this Section will be based upon the records kept by Solifare and reported in Solifare’s online reporting system and audited by the Clients, from time to time.

Fraud

If Solifare determines, in its sole discretion, that the Publisher or Sub- Publisher has engaged in any activity that Solifare considers to be fraudulent or which might bring the reputation or standing of Solifare into disrepute either with the general public or with the Clients or potential Clients of Solifare, or otherwise that the Publisher or Sub- Publisher has engaged in activities which might be considered fraudulent, Solifare may but will not be obligated to (a) suspend or terminate the Affiliate’s membership in the Program, without notice and (b) release to a regulatory body or any governmental authority, information relating to the identity and location of the Publisher if required to do so in order to comply with existing legislation.

In the event of suspension or termination in accordance with paragraph 6.1 above, any Commission due and payable to the Publisher in accordance with Section 5 at the time of suspension or termination will be deemed to be forfeited.

For the purposes of this Agreement, fraudulent activity includes but is in no way limited to:

  • activity by the Publisher or anyone for whom in law the Publisher is responsible which is directly or indirectly intended to inflate the Commissions payable to the Affiliate;
  • the generation of leads other than by a mechanism approved by Solifare;
  • activity by the Publisher or anyone for whom in law the Publisher is responsible which is not in accordance with the Program;
  • activity which is determined by the Client, in its discretion, to be fraudulent.

Solifare may at any time audit Publisher for compliance purposes. Publisher agrees to provide Solifare with any reasonable information necessary to conduct an investigation into Affiliate’s compliance with law and this Agreement.

Publisher will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of the Publisher website and for all materials that appear on the Publisher website. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the technical operation of the Publisher website and all related equipment; creating and posting product reviews, descriptions, and references on the Publisher website and linking those descriptions to the Program Site; the accuracy and propriety of materials posted on the Publisher website; and ensuring that materials posted on the Publisher website do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party and are not libelous or otherwise illegal. Solifare disclaims all liability and responsibility for such matters.

Other than as provided in this Section 3, Publisher may not sublease, rent, lease, sell, resell, outsource or service any Offer, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void.

Indemnification

The Publisher covenants and agrees to indemnify and save harmless Solifare, its parent company and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Group”) from and against any and all claims or judgments, including all associated legal fees, expenses and disbursements actually incurred, arising out of any breach of this Agreement by the Publisher or any Sub- Publisher or the exercise by the Publisher of any right under this Agreement or any act or omission of the Affiliate, a Sub- Publisher or anyone for whom the Publisher is in law responsible, including without limitation any damages, losses, consequential or otherwise, arising in any manner (including those arising from or incidental to any liability or other lawsuit, claim, demand or other action brought) as a consequence of any act or omission of the Publisher or any person for whom the Publisher is in law responsible, whether or not the Indemnified Group or any of them are named as a party defendant in any such proceedings and whether or not the Indemnified Group or any of them are alleged to be negligent or otherwise responsible for any damage or injury to persons or property. The obligation of the Publisher to defend and indemnify as set out in this paragraph will survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and will not be otherwise limited by any other term or condition of this or any Agreement. Solifare may, at its election in its sole discretion, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Affiliate. Solifare may participate in the defense of all claims as to which it does not assume defense and control, and Publisher shall not settle any such claim without Solifare’s prior written consent.

Disclosure of Information

Solifare or its directors, may, from time to time, disclose to the Publisher certain information relating to Solifare’s business or to Solifare’s Clients, subsidiaries, Affiliates, agents, or employees; business and marketing plans, strategies and methods which may not be standard industry practice or which are not generally known in the industry; or studies, charts, plans, tales or compilations of business and industrial information acquired or prepared by or on behalf of Solifare (all collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”). The Publisher acknowledges that Confidential Information will be provided at the sole discretion of Solifare, and nothing in this Agreement obligates Solifare, its directors, agents or employees to disclose or grant to the Publisher access to any Confidential Information.

Unless expressly authorized in writing by Solifare, the Publisher covenants and agrees:

  • to use the Confidential Information only for the purposes expressly contemplated in this Agreement; and that no Confidential Information will be disclosed to any third party, affiliate, subsidiary, Sub-Affiliate, agent, or employee of the Publisher without the prior written consent of Solifare, which may be unreasonably and arbitrarily withheld.

The Publisher acknowledges that Solifare remains the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Confidential Information. The Publisher agrees that the Confidential Information will not be copied or otherwise reproduced without the express prior written consent of Solifare.

Upon termination of this Agreement, or otherwise on demand by Solifare, the Publisher agrees that it will promptly deliver to Solifare all notes, data, tapes, reference items, sketches, drawings, memoranda, records, diskettes, electronic communications in any form and any other materials in any way relating to any of the Confidential Information in the possession of the Publisher or any affiliate, subsidiary, Sub-Affiliate, agent, or employee of the Affiliate.

The Publisher acknowledges and agrees that:

  • the provisions of this Section and the Affiliate’s agreement with the same are of the essence and constitute a material inducement to Solifare to enter into this Agreement;
  • the provisions of this Section shall be construed independently of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action the Publisher may have against Solifare, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Solifare of the provisions of this Section;
  • that any breach of this Section would cause irreparable harm to Solifare for which damages might not be an adequate remedy, and the Publisher therefore agrees that in the event of any such breach Solifare will be entitled to seek, in addition to any other right accruing to Solifare under this Agreement or otherwise in law or equity, injunctive relief against the Publisher without the necessity of proving actual damages; and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement, however caused.

The Publisher agrees to indemnify and save harmless Solifare against any and all loss, costs or expenses, inclusive of court costs and legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis, which Solifare may incur as the direct or indirect result of any unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information by the Publisher or any person for whom the Publisher is responsible, in law.

Non-Competition

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, the Publisher will not seek, in any way, to undermine the goodwill of Solifare, and in particular, the Publisher will not, directly or indirectly (1) solicit or entice or attempt to solicit or entice any of the employees of Solifare to enter into employment service with the Publisher or a competitor of Solifare; or (2) directly or indirectly enter into any agreement or contract, written or otherwise, with any Client or otherwise provide services to any third party for the ultimate benefit of a Client which might, in the opinion of Solifare, compete with any services provided by Solifare to that Client; or (3) solicit, engage, contract, license, or work with any client whose offer it or any of its Sub-Affiliates marketed hereunder without the prior written approval by an authorized party at Solifare.

Publisher agrees and understands that Solifare has incurred significant expense forming Solifare’s Publisher network and in providing services for the benefit of its Clients, and Publisher agrees and understands that in the event of a breach by Publisher of this section, Publisher shall pay Solifare as liquidated damages an amount equal to Solifare’s profits for the preceding 6 (six) months generated by the campaigns for such Client. The liquidated damage remedies provided herein in this section shall not preclude Solifare from seeking injunctive relief.

 

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Solifare disclaims all warranties, conditions, representations, indemnities and guarantees with respect to any matter, whether express or implied (including without limitation any warranty of profitability, satisfactory quality, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose, title and non-infringement).

Publisher acknowledges and agrees that any determination by Solifare of whether or not given advertising materials and/or creatives are accurate, appropriate and do not violate any applicable law is based solely on the designation made to Solifare by the relevant Client and that Solifare is not responsible for any given Advertising Materials being misdesignated by the relevant Client.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Solifare additionally disclaims all obligations and liabilities on the part of Solifare and those for whom it is in law responsible for any damages, including, but not limited to, indirect, special, and consequential damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and court costs (even if Solifare has been advised of the possibility of such damages, fees or costs), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

In no circumstance will Solifare be liable to the Publisher for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive or incidental damages or lost profits of the Publisher or the Affiliate’s successors or assigns (including without limitation claims for loss of goodwill, use of or reliance on the services provided hereunder, stoppage of other work or impairment of other assets) arising out of breach or failure of express or implied warranty, breach of contract, misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any liability of Solifare shall be limited to the total amount paid to Publisher by Solifare under this Agreement during the last six (6) billable months preceding the liability. Without limiting the foregoing, Solifare will not be liable for any failure or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown, actions or inaction of Publisher or third parties, Affiliate’s equipment or software and/or any third party equipment or any other condition affecting production or delivery in any manner beyond the control of Solifare.

 

Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement, at any time, on forty-eight (48) hours’ Notice to the other party. If Solifare believes the Publisher has breached this Agreement, it reserves the right to suspend the account of the Publisher immediately. The account can later be restored if the situation is resolved amicably.

Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Publisher covenants and agrees that it will continue to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in Sections 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 14.1 of this Agreement.

The agreement shall be entered for an indefinite term, unless terminated by either party.
