Affiliate Agreement

AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

 

Soul Sparks Collective, LLC ("Soul Sparks Collective" or “us” or “our”) as representative of all its products and services including the Pebbl product and pebbl.com offers an Affiliate arrangement as described by these Affiliate Agreement terms and conditions (the "Agreement").  By agreeing to be an Affiliate in the Affiliate arrangement (the "Affiliate Program" or the "Program") you are agreeing to be bound by these terms as from time to time modified by Soul Sparks Collective.  Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your account ("Account") and forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate referral fee payments earned by you. You agree to participate in the Affiliate Program at your own risk.

 

Affiliate Program Requirements

To participate in the Program as an Affiliate, you must qualify as follows:

* You must be an individual who is 18 years or older.

* You must be a Soul Sparks Collective account holder.

* You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. 

* You must not, in the use of the service or participation in the Program, violate any laws, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, including copyright laws.

 

Links

You will be assigned a unique code (“Code”). You are permitted to place links that we provide with your Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications, and to create your own links that properly include your Code. We will provide you with sample links and HTML code, to use in linking to our web sites.  To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral reward accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and the Soul Sparks Collective sites including pebbl.com or any other product sites that are a part of the Affiliate Program (the "Product Sites"). You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Product Sites properly utilizes such special link formats in order to receive credit. Links to the Product Sites placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links."

 

Your code will only be valid while you are a Soul Sparks Collective customer with an active account. Once your Soul Sparks Collective account expires, you will no longer be eligible to participate in the Program, and all reference codes will become invalid for new customers’ use. 

 

You will earn referral rewards only with respect to the creation of an account on the Soul Sparks Collective site including pebbl.com occurring directly through Special Links, or when a user properly applies your Code when creating their Soul Sparks Collective account by entering it when prompted.  We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly apply your 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 must point to the Soul Sparks Collective home page for the Pebbl product at pebbl.com. Links to other pages inside the Soul Sparks Collective site will not earn rewards.

 

Referral Rewards

In order to be eligible to earn a referral reward, the new customer must apply your Code during their account creation process. They may manually enter your code, or your code may be set as a cookie in their web browser when they click-through a Special Link to a Product Site.  If for any reason your Code is not properly applied during their account creation process, including but not limited to the case where their browser is set not to accept cookies, the cookie expires, or the cookie is removed intentionally or accidentally, you will not earn a referral reward. Your Code must be properly applied during their account creation process for you to earn a referral reward.

 

Referral Rewards are earned once the customer has completed the account creation process through purchase of a Pebbl product. If the customer cancels their account, issues a chargeback or receives a refund on the subscription associated with a referral transaction within 90 days of that transaction, you will not receive a referral reward and if you have already received the credited referral reward, Soul Sparks Collective may charge the referral reward amount back to you the following month. 

 

We will only issue referral rewards on Special Links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems, or when a customer successfully applies your Code during their account creation process. We will not issue referral rewards if someone says they signed up or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not properly processed by our system. 

 

We are obligated by U.S. federal law to obtain tax information from Program participants who are U.S. citizens or U.S. residents and from Program participants who are not U.S. citizens or residents but whose businesses are taxable in the U.S. If we believe you are a Program participant from whom we are obligated to obtain tax information and you do not provide this information to us after we have requested it, we may withhold your referral rewards until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.

 

We reserve the right to disqualify referral rewards that we, in our sole discretion, determine to have been earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. 

 

Credit of Referral Awards to Your Account 

Referral Rewards are accrued solely to the benefit of accounts, not individual users. Any accrued rewards such as credits or Tracker slots will be forfeited upon expiration of an account due to cancellation or failure to remit payment for renewal. Referral rewards are only paid through credits to your account, no cash payments will be made under any circumstances. 

 

Schedule of Account Accreditation 

Referral rewards credits are posted approximately 60-90 days after the qualifying account creation occurs.  

 

Customers

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be Soul Sparks Collective's customers. Accordingly, all of Soul Sparks Collective's rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. Soul Sparks Collective may change its policies and operating procedures at any time. Product availability and pricing 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. Soul Sparks Collective will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but Soul Sparks Collective cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular Product.

Termination

Soul Sparks Collective, 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 Soul Sparks Collective service, for any reason at any time.

Soul Sparks Collective reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
