FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AFFILIATE PARTNERS
Please read these terms and conditions carefully, they contain important information
about your rights and obligations.
1. Introduction
Clickdocs (we or us) wishes to appoint you (you or the Affiliate) as an Affiliate
Partner of Clickdocs to enable you to earn extra income through your Website
(your Website) by promoting Clickdocs and making your customers aware of the
legal documents and related document solutions provided by Clickdocs on the
Clickdocs Website (the Clickdocs Website). Your appointment is conditional upon
your successful registration, the establishment of a link (as defined below),
and is governed by these terms and conditions as posted on the Clickdocs Website
from time to time. Please read them carefully.
2. Registration
In order to become an Affiliate you must complete the Online Application. At
present, Clickdocs can only accept Affiliates who operate Websites with UK postal
addresses and bank accounts. Clickdocs reserves the right, at its absolute discretion
to reject any application to become an Affiliate. Clickdocs takes the issue
of privacy very seriously and to the extent that any information that you provide
as part of the registration process is Personal Data (as defined in the Data
Protection Act 1998) then Clickdocs shall only deal with such data in accordance
with the Clickdocs Privacy Policy.
Businesses that are VAT
registered must insert their VAT number in the application form. If the VAT
number is subsequently changed or cancelled, affiliates should notify us at
.
3.Links
To become an Affiliate you must include either the Clickdocs Banners, Clickdocs
Buttons, Clickdocs Interactive boxes, or Clickdocs text links (the Links) on
your Website. These can be found on the Affiliate Administration Console.Any
of the Links will allow your end-users to navigate directly to the Clickdocs
Website. You agree that Clickdocs must control the appearance of the Links and
the way in which the Links operate. As such you must ensure that: (a) you only
represent the latest available Links in the format that they are made available
to you and you must not alter or amend the Links in any way unless agreed in
advance with Clickdocs; (b) you only use the Links to link to the Clickdocs
Website, and (c) you visit the Clickdocs Website regularly to ensure that you
are complying with (a) and (b) above. Clickdocs may change the appearance of
the Links and the manner in which you link to the Clickdocs Website regularly
so we recommend that you visit at least once per month. Clickdocs grants you
a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to include the Links on your Website.
Clickdocs does, however, have the right to terminate this licence at any time
and to request you to remove the Links immediately if it feels that the Links
are not being used in accordance with this paragraph.
4. Payment
Within 10 days of the end of each calendar quarter, Clickdocs will send by email
confirmation of amount owed, unless no commissions have been earned. Unless
the amount is less than £50, Clickdocs will send payments to you for commissions
on completed sales, at the rate published on the Clickdocs Website, within 10
days of the end of the calender quarter. Each calendar quarter ends at the end
of these months:March, June, September and December. If the amount due to you
is less than £50, then Clickdocs will retain your payment until you have
reached £50 and then send payment within 10 days of the end of that calendar
quarter. Clickdocs may make changes to the commission rates that it pays to
Affiliates under this Agreement (either up or down) so Clickdocs advises you
to consult the Clickdocs Website regularly. Any change in the fees will take
effect at the end of the particular month in which the change was first posted
on the Clickdocs Website.
In order to simplify the administration process, and not delay payments, we require affiliates to agree to Clickdocs "self billing." As Clickdocs will "self bill" for commissions payable, VAT invoices must not be issued by you for commissions. A copy of the "self bill" invoice will be sent with each commission cheque.
You will be entirely responsible
for any taxation that may be payable as a result of the payment of fees under
this Agreement.
