By signing up to be an Affiliate in the Webnode Affiliate Program (“Program”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”).
Webnode is a web-based service/product, which is the property of and is supported by “Webnode AG”, a company based in Badenerstrasse 47, 8004 Zurich, Switzerland.
Webnode reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. 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. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at:
https://www.webnode.com/affiliate/
Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account and the forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments earned during the violation. You agree to use the Affiliate Program at your own risk.
Account Terms
You must be 18 years or older to be part of this Program.
You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
You must provide your legal full 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. You may create separate logins for as many people as you'd like.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. Webnode cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account (even when Content is posted by others who have accounts under your account).
One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account.
You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
You may not use the Affiliate Program to earn money on your own Webnode product accounts.
Address (PIN) verification
To protect the security of accounts, Webnode requires you to verify your permanent address before we can send you payments. To do so, we need the details of your permanent address sent to the email address affiliate@webnode.com. Then your Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be sent to your permanent address. Afterwards, you may send this PIN code to our email address affiliate@webnode.com.
Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications
Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will get a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Webnode. 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 the Product Sites. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Product Sites properly utilizes such special link formats. 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." You will earn referral fees only with respect to sign-ups on a Webnode product site 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 must point to the home page of the product being promoted. Deep links, or links to other pages inside the product site will not earn credit.
Referral fees/commissions and payment
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 a Product Site and sign up for the product during that session and next 90 days. There is no needed time frame, when the customer has to buy his first Premium plan. You will earn money even when a customer buys a plan one year after the sign up.
There is one type of referral fee that can be earned: Sales commissions.
Sales commissions are earned once the customer has made their first payment for a Premium Plan. Affiliates are responsible to pay taxes in their country for all earnings from Webnode affiliate partnership.
The commission structure is subject to change at our discretion. We will notify all Affiliates 15 days prior to a commission structure change. Commissions earned under the previous structure will be paid under the previous structure. Commissions earned under the new structure will be paid under the new structure.
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported 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 can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Payments only begin once 3 or more purchases of a Premium Plan are made by Webnode customers who are referred by you, or you have earned more than $300 in your account. If your affiliate account never crosses the $300 threshold or earns less than 3 purchases of Premium Plans made by Webnode customers who are referred by you, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $300 threshold, or receive 3 purchases of Premium Plans made by Webnode customers who are referred by you.
Payments
Commissions are paid predominantly as bank transfers or based on individual agreements. We do not process any checks, credit cards, or cash. You are required to have a bank account to receive commissions.
Please note that we might be unable to send payments to some countries based on the rules of our current provider. In such a case, we’ll inform you individually.
You are responsible for providing us with correct and sufficient information for the transfer. We reserve the right to deduct fees from the final amount if the payment fails due to incomplete or incorrect information.
Identifying yourself as a Webnode Affiliate
You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Webnode AG, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).
You may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.
Payment schedule
As long as your current affiliate earnings are over $300 and/or 3 or more purchases of Premium Plans are made by Webnode customers who you bring in, you'll be paid the month after you have reached the latest threshold. We do not pay out earnings until you reach the threshold of $300 and/or 3 or more purchases.
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.
