- THE AGREEMENT: This Ambassador Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal document between Heroic and you regarding our affiliate relationship. This Agreement covers your responsibilities as an Ambassador and our responsibilities to you. Please carefully read and understand the entirety of this document, as well as have a lawyer’s assistance if you desire, because each of the terms of this Agreement is important to our working relationship.
- NON-EXCLUSIVITY: This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between you and us. You are free to work with similar ambassador program providers in any category. This agreement imposes no restrictions on us to work with any individual or company we may choose.
- AMBASSADOR PROGRAM:
- Ambassador shall have the opportunity to promote Heroic and its programs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
- Ambassador shall promote and market our programs using only promotional materials supplied or approved by Heroic. Promotional material (emails, landers, ads, social media posts) must be consistent with Heroic’s branding and shall not be false or misleading.
- Ambassador shall direct potential purchasers of Heroic programs to the dedicated links provided by Heroic.
- Ambassador agrees to conduct itself in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, CAN-SPAM.
- Ambassador agrees and understands that if its marketing, websites, emails or any other communications associated with or for this Promotion are deemed inappropriate at the sole discretion of Heroic, Ambassador will be in violation of this Agreement. Ambassador will then be removed from this Ambassador Program and will not receive recognition, payments or any other compensation or communication from Heroic.
- “Inappropriate” is defined as communication that:
- is unvirtuous in intent or content;
- promotes, depicts or links to material that promotes or depicts discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or age;
- contains unlawful material, including but not limited to materials that may violate another’s intellectual property rights, or links to a site that contains such material;
- contains information regarding, promotes or links to a site that provides information or promotes illegal activity;
- uses or embeds Heroic’s videos, images, banners, likeness, brand name or website in a way that may cause market and consumer likelihood of confusion to the source and ownership of the material;
- offers a cash incentive or discount on product(s) as a means of promotion or
- for any other reason that Heroic deems inappropriate.
- LINKS AND MARKETING: Heroic will provide you with unique URL Links (herein referred to as “Links”) for Promotion as well as graphics or text necessary to promote and offer Heroic programs. Ambassador may ONLY utilize the link provided by Heroic on the Ambassador's websites, emails, and marketing owned and maintained by the Ambassador, the Ambassador’s brand, or the Ambassador’s social media pages. Ambassadors may NOT post their links on other websites that are not owned by them, except for ads or social media placements. The Ambassador may NOT spam or send any unsolicited email to any party during the Promotion. If the Ambassador is caught spamming, they will be removed from the Heroic Ambassador Program, and their commissions or pending commissions will be cancelled and/or forfeited. “Spam” or “Spamming” is defined as emailing or posting to anyone who has not requested information via email or any website, and also includes sending links to search engines. Spamming with links outside of your direct email list, websites, or social media pages will be considered a violation of this Agreement, and you will be removed from this Program, and this Agreement will be terminated immediately without payment of Ambassador commissions. As an Ambassador, you agree to abide by all Federal Trade Commission Guidelines and specifically, the CAN-SPAM Act.
- PAYOUT INFORMATION: Payouts will be available when Heroic has your payment address information as well as any required accounting and tax documentation. You may be asked to submit a W9 or W8BEN form. For any changes in your address or accounting information, you must notify us immediately, and we will endeavor to make the changes to your payout information as soon as possible. We expressly reserve the right to change payout information in our sole and exclusive discretion. If we do so, you will be notified.
- REFERRAL COMMISSIONS:
For each new customer who purchases a Philosopher’s Notes Lifetime Membership through the Ambassador’s unique referral link, the Ambassador will earn:
40% of each confirmed Lifetime Membership sale.
The commission applies only to Lifetime Membership purchases and does not apply to any other Heroic products, subscriptions, or promotions unless otherwise stated in writing by Heroic.
Commissions are:
- One-time payments per qualifying Lifetime Membership sale
- Earned only on completed, paid transactions
- Subject to Heroic’s 30-day Impact Guarantee
Commissions are paid once monthly when the Ambassador reaches a minimum payout threshold of $50 USD. To honor the 30-day refund period, commissions will not be approved for payout until thirty (30) days after the purchase date.
If a sale is canceled, refunded, or defaulted for any reason, any paid commission will be deducted from the amount owed to the Ambassador and any subsequent payment. If payment plans get sent to collections (or if it takes us more than 4 weeks of attempts to bring the payments current), then we stop paying commission, even if we do end up collecting it successfully. The Ambassador will not be paid commissions on any sales attributed to spam, credit card fraud, or returned Product.
Heroic is NOT responsible for the usage or maintenance of Ambassador links. Only sales tracked through the Link will count towards the Commissions. If a customer clicks on links of multiple Ambassadors, the Ambassador who is the most recent referral source before the sale will receive the commission. For each sale, a commission can only be granted to one Ambassador. The Ambassador may not purchase products through their own link and receive a commission on that sale. Ambassador commissions are counted and sales numbers are deemed final at the sole discretion of Heroic.
The friend in any "bring a friend for free" promotion will not be eligible for a commission payout. Heroic reserves the right to review tracked referrals and remove any "free friends" that may accidentally be picked up by the software due to cookie tracking.
Heroic reserves the right to change the commission plan, structure, and calculation at any time.
- TERM, TERMINATION & SUSPENSION: The term of this Agreement will begin when we accept you into the Ambassador Program. It can be terminated by either party at any time with or without cause. You may only earn payouts as long as you are an Ambassador in good standing during the term. If you terminate this Agreement with us, you will receive payouts earned prior to the date of termination. If you fail to follow the terms of this Agreement or any other legal terms we have posted anywhere on our website, you forfeit all rights, including the right to any unclaimed payout. We specifically reserve the right to terminate this Agreement if you violate any of the terms outlined herein, including, but not limited to, violating the intellectual property rights of Heroic or a third party, failing to comply with applicable laws or other legal obligations, and/or publishing or distributing illegal material. At the termination of this Agreement, any provisions that would be expected to survive termination by their nature shall remain in full force and effect.
