These Terms apply to you becoming an Affiliate in MailerLite Affiliate Program. The purpose of these Terms is to explain how it works and introduce basic terms and conditions of our Affiliate Program. Please note that throughout these Terms, "we," "us," and "our" refer to MailerLite, and "you," "your," and "yours" refer to the Affiliate.
By signing up to be an Affiliate in the MailerLite Affiliate Program you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions.
1.1. To become an Affiliate, you need to complete and submit the online application form. You must provide your name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process. Your login may only be used by one person – a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted. Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. 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 the MailerLite site. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the MailerLite site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the MailerLite site placed on your site pursuant to these terms and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to sign-ups on a MailerLite product site occurring directly through Special Links.
1.2. Your site is unsuitable for our Affiliate Program if it promotes illegal activities, violence, discrimination based on any ground, incorporates any materials which infringe or assist others to infringe on any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, or to violate the law, or is otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable to us. We reserve the right to deny an Affiliate, in our sole discretion.
1.3. You are forbidden to create or design your website, social network profile or any other profile in a manner which resembles MailerLite website or which leads customers to believe you are MailerLite.
1.4. As a member of MailerLite Affiliate Program, you will have access to Affiliate account and Dashboard, where you can monitor your referral’s signups, purchases and the subsequent payments to you.
1.5. MailerLite reserves the right, at any time, to review your placement and require that you change it or use to comply with the provided guidelines.
1.6. Affiliate is an independent entity, and MailerLite Affiliate Program doesn’t create any partnership, joint venture, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between Affiliate and MailerLite. You have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf.
1.7. You shall not make any statement on your site, that reasonably would contradict anything in this section.
1.8. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. MailerLite cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
1.9. You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not violate any laws in your jurisdiction.
2.1. We have the right to monitor your website or social networks at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this document.
2.2. MailerLite reserves the right to terminate your participation in the MailerLite Affiliate Program immediately if you abuse this program in any way.
2.3. MailerLite 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 these terms.
We'll provide you with a special Affiliate Dashboard where you can monitor your referral’s signups, purchases and the subsequent payments to you. You’ll also receive the marketing materials you will need to successfully sell MailerLite.
4.1. When someone you refer to us orders an account, you'll earn 30% not only on the initial sale of monthly and annual plans but also on any recurring payments they make. Payments for add-ons such as Dedicated IP are not included. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to the MailerLite Site and sign up for the product during that session. Your referrals must come through your affiliate link and sign up for MailerLite within 45 days from the first visit. If they return to MailerLite after the 45-day period, you will not earn a commission on their purchase.
4.2. There is one type of referral fee that can be earned: Commission. The current commission is 30% from every sale. Commissions are paid after you reach $100 and claim payout. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they signed up or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
4.3. For you to receive affiliate commissions, someone you refer to us must make payments through MailerLite’s app, by using a credit card or PayPal.
4.4. Commissions to you are paid by PayPal only, therefore, you are required to have a PayPal account that is able to accept commercial payments to receive commissions. We cannot send checks and cash, make personal payments on Paypal or credits to any of your other debit or credit accounts. If you don’t have a PayPal account with the ability to receive commercial payments, we will not be able to pay commissions to you.
4.5. As long as your current affiliate earnings are over $100 and you have at least 2 paid referred accounts at the time of the payout request, you'll be paid within 45 days of a claim.
