(each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).
This Agreement is a legally binding document between you and Sleek. It describes the affiliate relationship we are entering into and explains your responsibilities as an Affiliate and our responsibilities to you. The terms and conditions of this agreement are important to our working relationship. Please ensure you read and understand the entirety of this Agreement. You should seek legal advice if there is anything that you do not understand.
The Parties agree as follows:
APPLICATION
In order to join our Affiliate Program, you will need to submit an application (“Affiliate Application”) available via a link on sleek.com. Submitting an Affiliate Application does not guarantee inclusion in the Affiliate Program. We may also ask for additional information to complete your Affiliate Application or require you to undertake additional steps to ensure eligibility in the Affiliate Program. If your Affiliate Application is accepted, the terms and conditions in this Agreement apply to your participation.
ACCEPTANCE
By submitting an application to our Affiliate Program, you warrant that you have read and reviewed this Agreement and that you agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, do not submit an application to our Affiliate Program. This Agreement specifically incorporates by reference any Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policies, End-User License Agreements, or other legal documents which we may publish on our website.
NON-EXCLUSIVITY
This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between you and us. No restrictions are placed on us to work with any individual or company. You are free to work with similar affiliate program providers in any category.
ACCOUNT
After your acceptance in the Affiliate Program, you must ensure your account is properly set up, including the provision of specific payout information as may be required by the Sleek from time to time to process payment of qualifying commissions.
COMMUNICATION
Electronic communication is permitted under this Agreement including but not be limited to e-mail, SMS or WatsApp. You agree that Sleek may provide notices to you using the email address provided by you in the Affiliate Application. You must keep Sleek informed of your updated contact details requested by Sleek.
All communication made or notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in the English language.
AFFILIATE PROGRAM
We will provide you with a specific coupon code and a hyperlink which correspond to certain products we are offering for sale (collectively, the "Coupon Code"). The Coupon Code will be linked to your identity and will send online users to the Sleek's website or websites.
Each time a new customer completes the sale of the product or service, and we determine it is a Qualified Purchase you will be eligible to receive a commission on the sale specified as “Commission Rate” in ‘Appendix A’ to this Agreement.
Commissions will be based on any new and subsequently recurring approved purchases (hereinafter, “Qualified Purchases”) made by a customer referred to Sleek by the Affiliate.
In order to be eligible for payout, customer purchases shall be Qualified Purchases and must not:
a) be referred by any other partner or affiliate links of the Sleek (in other words, Qualified Purchases are only available through your specific Customer hyperlink);
b) be purchased by an Affiliate, an already existing partner or other Affiliate of Sleek;
c) be purchased prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program;
d) be purchased by a customer in violation of any of our legal terms or Acceptable Use Policy;
e) be fraudulent in any way, in Sleek's sole and exclusive discretion;
f) have been induced by the Affiliate offering the customer any coupons or discounts other than those coupons or discounts as may be provided, from time to time, specifically by Sleek for promotional use by Affiliate; and
g) have not resulted in a refund or chargeback when payout is made to the Affiliate.
A purchase will be considered a Qualifying Purchase if a purchase is made by an existing customer who uses the code to receive a discount on their next purchase. However, that customer cannot and shall not receive any commission on the sales generated by any companies in which they act as a shareholder, director or administrator.
All sales are tracked using the visitor’s IP Address and the use of cookies.
In the event that multiple cookies from multiple active affiliates are present at the time of a purchase, the original or older cookie shall prevail in determining the commissionable Affiliate.
VALIDITY OF PAYOUTS
The viability of all payouts made under the terms of this Agreement will be made in our sole and exclusive discretion. We reserve the right to reject sales that do not comply with the terms of this Agreement.
Processing customer orders will be our responsibility. We will also provide timely data regarding your affiliate account with us through the portal on which you log into the website.
PAYOUT
Affiliate will be eligible to receive payouts once Sleek has received all requested information from the Affiliate and Sleek provides activation notice to the Affiliate.
Sleek shall not withhold any taxes from the payouts made to the Affiliate under the terms of this Agreement. Sleek shall not be responsible for any taxes owed by Affiliate arising out of Affiliate’s relationship with Sleek as set forth in this Agreement.
Sleek will make payouts to Affiliate using the method and process identified in Appendix A. All pending and future payouts may be adjusted or offset by previous commissions that have been paid to the Affiliate for purchases that have since resulted in a refund to any customer referred by the Affiliate.
We reserve the right to change the payout process and procedure at our sole and exclusive discretion. If we do so, you will be notified.
In the event of any disputed payout you shall notify Sleek within thirty days of receipt of the payout. We will review each dispute notification as well as the underlying payout transaction to which it is related. Disputes filed after thirty days of payout will not be addressed.
TERM AND TERMINATION
The term of this Agreement will begin when the Affiliate is accepted by Sleek into the Affiliate Program. It can be terminated by either Party at any time with or without cause.
You may only earn payouts as long as you are an Affiliate in good standing during the term. If you terminate this Agreement with us, you will receive eligible payouts earned prior to the date of termination. Any earnings that are ineligible for payout prior to the date of termination will be forfeited.
