AFFILIATE PROGRAM
Commissions
For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit full payment. Commissions can be viewed on the Referral Revenue.
The Affiliate will continue to accumulate commissions for each paid transaction by the customer for as long as the customer remains a paying customer. Commissions will also accumulate for plan upgrades and adding users.
Payment
An Affiliate can request a payment when their balance reaches a minimum balance of $20 USD. Payments can be requested every 30 days. Payment processing can take up to 30 days from the request date. Payments will generally be paid out via Stripe, and are conditional on the Affiliate successfully connecting to Stripe.
Refunds
In the event a customer requests a refund for a transaction for which the Affiliate has earned commissions, any commissions earned on the refund amount will be deducted from the Affiliate’s balance.
Usage and Obligations
Affiliates are permitted to use the Diamond Tree brand and marketing resources available in the Affiliates section of the Diamond Tree application. Logos and other assets cannot be modified. The Affiliate does not gain any trademark, copyright or any other rights to these materials.
The Affiliate will never imply that they are acting on behalf of Diamond Tree and will never advertise Diamond Tree products directly. The Affiliate will never bid for advertisements that compete with Diamond Tree.
The Affiliate will never represent themselves, Diamond Tree or their relationship with Diamond Tree in a false or misleading way.
The Affiliate will not engage in the distribution of an unsolicited bulk email (spam) mentioning or referencing Diamond Tree.
Term and Termination
Either party has the right to terminate the agreement immediately without prior notice.
If the Affiliate terminates the agreement, no further commissions from Diamond Tree will be paid for any past or future customer transactions.
If Diamond Tree chooses to terminate the agreement, any balance greater than $20 USD will be paid to the affiliate within 60 days of termination. Balances that are smaller than $20 will be forfeited.
If the Affiliate is on a recurring program, Diamond Tree will not be obligated for any future payments after termination.---------
