A “site” means a website or social media page. “Fusionary Formulas Site” means fusionaryformulas.com as applicable. “Your site” means any site(s) and any social media page(s) (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) that you link to the Fusionary Formulas Site.
BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR BY PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE, REVISED AGREEMENT, OR REVISED DOCUMENTATION ON THE FUSIONARY FORMULAS SITE, YOU
(A) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT;
(B) ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN; AND
(C) HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE LAWFULLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS (E.G., YOU ARE NOT A MINOR) AND THAT YOU ARE AND WILL REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS. IN ADDITION, IF THIS AGREEMENT IS BEING AGREED TO BY A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, THEN THE PERSON AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THAT COMPANY OR ENTITY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE OR SHE IS AUTHORIZED AND LAWFULLY ABLE TO BIND THAT COMPANY OR ENTITY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
The purpose of the Program is to permit you to earn Affiliate fees when a third party end user shops on a Fusionary Formulas Site using your unique Affiliate code/url. As part of the Program, you are permitted to advertise our Products on your sites and earn Affiliate fees for Qualifying Purchases (defined in Section 7) made by your end users. A “Product” is any item sold on the Fusionary Formulas Site. In order to facilitate your advertisement of Products, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, and other tools and information in connection with the Program ("Content").
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete and accurate Program application. You may be required to identify your sites in your application. As we deem it necessary, we will evaluate your application and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine that your site(s) are unsuitable. Unsuitable sites include those that:
After you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Program, you may display an Affiliate code (in the form of a web banner, link or widget) on your sites, on other sites through online advertising or provide it to third parties in writing (e.g., providing your Affiliate code on printed materials, such as business cards, flyers, or other advertisements) (“Special Links”). These Special Links permit accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of Affiliate fees. You may earn Affiliate fees only as described in Section 7 and only with respect to activity on the Fusionary Formulas Site occurring directly through Special Links or through manual input of your Affiliate code during the check-out process. We will have no obligation to pay you Affiliate fees if you fail to properly use the Special Links or if users do not manually input your code at check-out, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of Affiliate fees that would otherwise be paid to you hereunder.
In addition, you hereby consent to us:
You will be solely responsible for your sites, including their development, operation, and maintenance and all materials that appear on or within them. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your sites to the Fusionary Formulas Site or who manually input your code at checkout. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements on the Fusionary Formulas Site, as they may be updated from time to time. We will track Qualifying Purchases for reporting and Affiliate fee accrual purposes and will make available to you reports summarizing those Qualifying Purchases via your affiliate dashboard site.
We will pay you Affiliate fees on “Qualifying Purchases” in accordance with Section 8. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, a “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when
(a) a customer uses the Special Link to gain access to the Fusionary Formulas Site;
(b) manually inputs your Affiliate code at check-out;
(c) during a single Session that customer adds a Product to his or her shopping cart and places the order for that Product no later than 30 days following the customer’s initial click-through; and
(d) the Product is paid for by the customer.
We will pay you Affiliate fees on a monthly basis for Qualifying Purchases shipped in a given month, subject to any applicable withholding or deduction described below. In order to be paid, you must have been eligible and been a Fusionary Formulas’ brand ambassador in good standing at the time the purchases were made. Upon signing up for the affiliate program, you will enter your bank/account information to be paid once per month via “Paypal.” When a purchase is made using your Affiliate code, you accrue a commission on the value of the purchase. For products purchased on Fusionary Formulas.com: your commissions become payable after the 30-day return period from billing has passed, and will be paid to you on the next Affiliate payment cycle. Your commissions become payable after the 30-day return period from billing has passed, and will be paid to you on the next Affiliate payment cycle. The commission earned on items that are subsequently returned by customers will not be paid. Every month the Affiliate payment cycle ends on end of the month and will be paid out on or before the fifteenth of the month. For products purchased on Fusionary Formulas.com: When someone clicks on your link and orders Fusionary Formulas, you will make a 20% commission on the sale of the product for the amount at which is what sold. So, if the product is on sale or a coupon code is used, you will make commission on the now reduced amount of the sale. Sales tax and shipping are not included in the commission plan. Your commissions become payable immediately after the product is shipped. Your commissions will be paid to you on the next Affiliate payment cycle for all orders made the previous month. Every month the Affiliate payment cycle ends on the last day of the month and will be paid out on or before the fifteenth of the month. Each month, you must maintain the minimum balance of $20 in payable commissions in your account in order to be paid. Fusionary Formulas reserves the right to change the required minimum balance upon notification to you. If an order is cancelled or returned and commission has been paid, you will receive a deduction for the amount of commission that you earned. Any unpaid accrued fees in your account may be subject to escheatment under state law. We may be obligated by law to obtain tax information from you if you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, or U.S. corporation, or if your business is otherwise taxable in the U.S. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we may (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold your fees until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.
Customers who buy products through this Program are our customers with respect to all activities they undertake in connection with the Fusionary Formulas Site. Accordingly, as between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on the Fusionary Formulas Site will apply to those customers, and we may change them at any time.
