Smart Syndicator Affiliate Agreement Syndication Systems, LLC DBA Smart Syndicator may offer you an opportunity to become an independent Smart Syndicator Affiliate (“Affiliate”), wherein you have the opportunity to earn additional money for Smart Syndicator accounts. Affiliate compensation is further discussed herein. See also Smart Syndicator Terms of Service, which apply to you in your role as Affiliate, unless otherwise expressly provided in writing otherwise.   This Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your activity, participation application, and any subsequent participation in, Smart Syndicator's Affiliate program. By clicking “I Accept the Terms and Conditions” and submit, you thereby accept the terms of this Agreement, you indicate that you have read and understood this Agreement, and agree that you are bound by its terms.  

SECTION 1. PARTIES All references to “Smart Syndicator” or “We” herein mean and refer to Syndication Systems, LLC DBA Smart Syndicator. All references to “You” and “Your” mean and refer to the person or entity who has executed this Agreement. Smart Syndicator and You are each referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”  

SECTION 2. APPLICATION You agree to provide all information reasonably requested by Smart Syndicator in connection with Your Affiliate application to be considered, and You affirm that all information that You provide is truthful and accurate. You understand and agree that Smart Syndicator retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in the Smart Syndicator Affiliate program. Not everyone who applies for the Smart Syndicator Affiliate program will qualify to participate. Smart Syndicator may review the application, at our sole discretion, and may terminate Your Affiliate status at any time. The standard of qualifications required for an Affiliate may change, at our sole discretion, at any time.  

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. This consent shall be revoked only in writing.  

SECTION 4. COMPENSATION You will receive a unique Affiliate ID when you sign up as Affiliate at https://smartsyndicator.com/affiliates. The Affiliate ID will be incorporated within each URL which You will use to advertise Smart Syndicator. 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 potential new user (“Prospect”) has multiple Affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale. There are some products sold that do not have trial periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Prospect user may inform Smart Syndicator that the determination made by the most recently acquired Cookie incorrectly identified the Affiliate under which the Prospect User intended to sign up. Smart Syndicator may move the Prospect user to an Affiliate of the Prospect User’s choosing only while the Prospect User is still in a trial period. In any event, no user may be moved more than one time from an Affiliate to another Affiliate. If a Prospect user signed up without any Affiliate for more than two (2) months, the Prospect user cannot choose to become affiliated.   Provided that the Sold Account (as defined below) remains in good status within forty-five (45) days from the Sale, Your commission is considered earned. You will earn commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to Smart Syndicator in a month (“Commission”) once considered sold as defined below. The Commission will be determined by Smart Syndicator and may be changed from time to time depending on the quantity of sale, products, and other factors. Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid on the 15th of each month following Smart Syndicator's receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. In the event the 15th of each month falls on a holiday or weekend, Commission payments will be paid on the business day preceding the holiday. All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by Smart Syndicator, less sales taxes.  

The amount of Commissions are as follows:  

a. Smart Syndicator Pro Account: 25% (applicable to all Smart Syndicator Users subscription fees excluding setup fees)

All Commissions 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. Your combined Commission must equal or exceed Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($50.00) (USD) before You receive a payment from Smart Syndicator. If Your combined Commissions in a 120-day period do not exceed $50.00 (USD) Your Commissions will not be paid and will be forfeited.   Once a Commission of $50 (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. Depending on your preferred method of receiving payment of Commissions from us, i.e. if you choose a different payment method other than PayPal, Smart Syndicator or our third party payment provider may require You to submit a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form or any ancillary supporting documentation (the “required documents”) before processing any payment for Commissions. If You fail to submit the required documents, Smart Syndicator or our third party payment provider may not process any payment for Commissions that were earned more than 120 days before submitting completed required documents. Applicable tax documents may be requested from you and You shall submit such documents upon Smart Syndicator’s request. If You are not a resident of the United States, Smart Syndicator may withhold tax (including, not limited to, 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 earning any Commissions for payments made on Affiliate’s own user account(s). Affiliates are not permitted to open a Smart Syndicator account under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Commissions or any other compensation. Affiliates are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain Sales unless specifically approve by Smart Syndicator in writing.   Commissions are earned for transactions that actually occur between Smart Syndicator and a Sale and in which payment is received by Smart Syndicator. If refund/charge back occurs for a Sold Account, and if a Commission was paid to You for that Sold Account, such amount is considered unearned, and the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commissions.   Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, the obligation under this Agreement to compensate Affiliate by Smart Syndicator shall survive for only two (2) years from the date of Commission earned unless there is an amendment in writing and signed by both parties.   If Smart Syndicator determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be considered earned for such Sale and, for past sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future Commissions or shall be refunded back to Smart Syndicator. Smart Syndicator may also terminate this Agreement immediately without any further liability to you. To be eligible to participate in the affiliate program and receive commissions, you must be an active user with an active subscription on Smart Syndicator unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing.
