ClickFunnels may offer you an opportunity to become an independent ClickFunnels Affiliate (“Affiliate”), wherein you have the opportunity to earn additional money for ClickFunnels products, services and accounts that you sell. ClickFunnels reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the amount of remuneration each Affiliate will receive in exchange for the Affiliate’s efforts. Affiliate commission is further discussed herein. See also ClickFunnels Terms of Service, which apply to you in your role as Affiliate, unless otherwise expressly provided for.
SECTION 1 - PARTIES All references to “ClickFunnels” herein means and refers to Etison LLC, doing business as ClickFunnels. All references to “You” and “Your” mean and refer to the person or entity who has executed this Agreement. ClickFunnels and You are each referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.” You agree to notify us in writing if the legal name of your business or account ownership changes within twenty-four (24) hours of such change and You certify that all such information is truthful and accurate. Notice of such changes should be sent to affiliates@clickfunnels.com.
SECTION 2 - APPLICATION You agree to provide all information requested by ClickFunnels in connection with Your Affiliate application, and You affirm that all information that You provide is truthful and accurate. You understand and agree that ClickFunnels retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in ClickFunnels’ Affiliate program. Not everyone who applies for ClickFunnels’ Affiliate program will qualify to participate.
SECTION 3 - CONSENT TO BE CONTACTED You expressly consent to be contacted at the email address and the phone number You provide in Your application about Your application and the Affiliate program, including through automated dialing systems, texts and artificial or pre-recorded messages, whether by ClickFunnels or a third-party on behalf of ClickFunnels. This consent is a material condition of this Agreement and may not be revoked except in writing by both Parties.
SECTION 4 - COMPENSATION If Your application to become an Affiliate is approved by ClickFunnels, You will receive a unique Affiliate ID. The Affiliate ID will be incorporated within each URL which You will use to advertise ClickFunnels. You will have the opportunity to receive a commission for each sale (“Sale”) that is registered using Your Affiliate ID.
In the event that a prospect (“Prospect”) has multiple Affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale. There are some products and services sold that do not have trial periods.
Provided that the Sold Account (as defined below) remains in good status within thirty (30) days from the Sale, You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to ClickFunnels in a month (“Commission”). Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid on the 1st and 15th of each month following ClickFunnels’ receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. In the event the 1st or 15th of each month falls on a holiday, Commission payments will be paid on the business day preceding the holiday. All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by ClickFunnels, less sales taxes.
Whether or not You apply and are accepted as an Affiliate, if You are a ClickFunnels’ user who chooses to display a “made with ClickFunnels” badge on the bottom of Your funnel, You will have the opportunity to receive a commission (the “Badge Commission”) once all of the following conditions are met:
(i) a Prospect creates a ClickFunnels account or purchases a ClickFunnels product or service using Your Badge Affiliate Link,
(ii) the fourteen (14) day trial period expires (when applicable,)
(iii) the Prospect makes payment that is not rejected or disputed, and
(iv) a Sale is registered (each such account is a “Sold Account.”)
The amount of Commissions are as follows:
*Initial approval into the ClickFunnels’ Affiliate Program grants you access to promote select front-end offerings (the Front-End Affiliate). You will receive a 40% Commission on these offerings. After you have earned $1,000 Commission in a calendar month, you will be eligible to apply for “Open Affiliate”, a program whereby you can promote front-end offerings as well as additional services, such as the ClickFunnels SAAS. Open affiliates who demonstrate exemplary compliance with all terms of this Agreement and who also maintain 40 unique ClickFunnels paid user accounts on a monthly basis (ClickFunnels accounts must be sold at $97 or above) may qualify for “Qualified Affiliate” status, which determination shall be in ClickFunnels’ sole and exclusive discretion. For avoidance of doubt, an Affiliate can receive both Badge Commission and Affiliate Commissions simultaneously.
All Commissions and Legacy Bonuses are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD) or otherwise in currencies offered by the payment provider. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions or Legacy Bonus payment. Your combined Commission and Legacy Bonus must equal or exceed One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) (USD) before You receive a payment from ClickFunnels. If Your combined Commissions and Legacy Bonuses in a 120-day period do not exceed $100.00 (USD) Your Commissions will not be paid and will be forfeited by You to ClickFunnels.
Once a Commission of $100 (USD) or more is earned, You will need to register with our third-party payment provider to receive payment of Commissions. This means You are authorizing third party companies to contact You. Before You can be paid any Commission or Legacy Bonus, You must provide ClickFunnels a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form, as instructed by ClickFunnels, as well as any supporting documentation requested by ClickFunnels or its third-party payment provider. You will be deemed to have permanently waived all rights to Commissions or Legacy Bonuses that were earned more than 120 days before submitting a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form or any ancillary supporting documentation that is requested to confirm the information on your tax form. If You are not a resident of the United States, ClickFunnels may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required by applicable law. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with, the applicable governing body(ies).
Affiliates will not be paid any Commissions or Legacy Bonuses for payments made on Affiliate’s own user account(s). Affiliates are not permitted to open a ClickFunnels account under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Commissions, Legacy Bonuses or any other compensation. Affiliates may not pay for another person’s or entity’s account. Affiliates are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain Sales or Legacy Sales.
Commissions and Legacy Bonuses are paid only for transactions that actually occur between ClickFunnels and a Sale or a Legacy Sale and in which payment is received by ClickFunnels. If payment for a Sold Account or a Legacy Account later results in a refund or chargeback, and if a Commission or Legacy Bonus was paid to You for that Sold Account or Legacy Account payment, then the Commission or Legacy Bonus will be deducted from Your future Commissions and/or Legacy Bonuses.
If ClickFunnels determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale or Legacy Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission or Legacy Bonus will be paid for such Sale or Legacy Sale and, for past sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future Commissions and Legacy Bonuses, and ClickFunnels may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, and without ClickFunnels having any liability to You.
SECTION 5 - TERM AND TERMINATION The term of this Agreement will begin the earlier of (i) when You click “I accept the Terms and Conditions” and submit; or (ii) Your participation in the Affiliate program is approved. Your participation in the ClickFunnels Affiliate program will continue month-to-month until terminated. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other Party thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination. If, in our sole discretion, You fail, or we suspect that You have failed, to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement or the Terms of Service, or violated any law, whether in connection with Your use of ClickFunnels or otherwise, ClickFunnels may take any action that it deems necessary, including without limitation to terminating the Agreement or suspending Your access to the Affiliate website (“Website”) at any time without notice to You. In addition, if, based on our data, you have a dispute rate greater than 2%, we may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Website at any time without notice to You. In such instances as described above, and in our sole discretion, we may terminate our relationship and suspend any accounts owned/controlled by You. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation for purposes of the foregoing, any violation of the required disclosure will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. See Appendix A, Section 2, Disclosure. In the event this Agreement is canceled due to Your breach, You immediately forfeit all Commissions, Legacy Bonuses, and any other payments owed to You or that may in the future be owed to You without any further liability by ClickFunnels to You. This Agreement will terminate automatically if You earn no (zero) Commissions over a 12 month period.
If this Agreement is terminated or canceled, then all provisions that, by their nature, should survive, will survive, including, but not necessarily limited to, all limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, indemnity obligations, mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions, and exceptions to arbitration. All representations and warranties undertaken by You shall also survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement and/or Your ClickFunnels account.
SECTION 6 - ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES In addition to Your other representations and warranties herein, You further represent and warrant that there are no prior or pending government investigations or inquiries of, or prosecutions against You by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), any other federal or state governmental agency, or any industry regulatory authority, anywhere in the world, nor any prior or pending private lawsuits against You which relate to alleged intentional torts or alleged violation of any consumer protection or advertising laws. If You become the subject of such an investigation, inquiry, prosecution, or lawsuit any time after this Agreement is executed, You are required to notify ClickFunnels of the same within 24 hours. ClickFunnels, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may immediately terminate Your participation in ClickFunnels’ Affiliate program, as well as immediately terminate this Agreement, based on any investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit identified pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION 7 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement, Appendix A below, along with ClickFunnels’ standard Terms of Service, represents the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any other written or oral agreement between the Parties as pertaining to Your Affiliate application and, if approved, Your rights and responsibilities as an Affiliate.
