You are not allowed to post any refunds, credits or discounts on the RoseHosting Products and Services, or other content concerning RoseHosting without RoseHosting’s prior written consent in each instance. Affiliates may only use coupons and discounts that are provided exclusively through the Affiliate Program using banners and links. Each Link connecting users of the Affiliate Site to the pertinent area of the RoseHosting website will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of the RoseHosting website. Any violations of the terms surrounding links, coupons, refunds, credits or discounts shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and may result in your termination from the Affiliate Program or the withholding of Commission Fees. RoseHosting reserves the right to cancel any coupons or discounts at any time. Affiliates may not promote internal RoseHosting coupons or promotions available through the RoseHosting.com website and any purchase made using such coupons or promotions are not Qualified Purchases. RoseHosting does not accept "coupon-only" sites in our affiliate program. We reserve the right to deactivate any account that uses coupons/discounts as a primary method of promotion at our sole discretion.
e. Domain forwarding is prohibited. You may not purchase a domain and set it to forward directly to our site using your affiliate link.

a. It is the intent of RoseHosting to treat all of our customers fairly. Accordingly, we require all RoseHosting Affiliates to comply with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines concerning advertising and marketing, including without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides which require that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. This means that all Affiliate Sites (e.g. directories, review/rating websites, blogs, and other websites) and any email or collateral that provide an endorsement or assessment of RoseHostings's Products and Services must prominently disclose the fact that you receive compensation for Referred Customers.
b. For more information and suggestions about how to comply with these guidelines, please visit our page entitled "Affiliate Disclosure Requirements and Examples". Please note that this page is only intended to provide guidance. It does not purport to provide legal advice and it does not guarantee that you'll be in compliance with FTC regulations should you follow the suggestions presented. You are advised to seek and obtain your own legal advice on how these rules apply to your website or other promotional activities for which you receive compensation.
c. RoseHosting reserves the right to withhold Commission Fees and cancel the affiliate relationship with you should we determine, at our sole discretion, that you are not in compliance with the previously mentioned guide or other FTC regulations or guides that we deem relevant.

In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 4 (FTC Endorsement Compliance), Affiliate shall comply with all applicable data protection laws regarding the transmission of data exported to or from the United States or the country in which Affiliate resides, including without limitation, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the “GDPR”). Affiliate, as a controller under the GDPR, shall also implement appropriate technical measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purpose of processing any personal data. Affiliate agrees to promptly assist RoseHosting in complying with any data subject rights request under the GDPR that RoseHosting may receive from any individuals referred to RoseHosting by Affiliate. Affiliate further agrees to promptly assist RoseHosting in complying with any duties to cooperate with supervisory authorities under the GDPR.

RoseHosting will process orders placed by Referred Customers who follow the Links from an Affiliate Site to RoseHosting. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements that we have established. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including RoseHosting’s services, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by your Affiliate Site and will make this information available to you through the Affiliate Program. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your website and our website are properly formatted. In the event that multiple Affiliates refer the same unique customer, only the last referrer before the customer orders RoseHosting services will receive credit for the referral.

a. Commissions will be calculated based on the commission rates stated on the RoseHosting website for each Qualified Purchase (as defined herein) and each Affiliate Program subject to commission accruing pursuant to Section 8 below. A "Qualified Purchase" does NOT include the following:
  * A purchase by You or someone in your household.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer who is also associated with any RoseHosting reseller, referral, or other program.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not up to date on its payments or is subject to a refund.
  * A purchase that was completed prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program or was not tracked properly through an Affiliate Link.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a period of at least sixty five (65) days or is in violation of RoseHosting’s Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue.
  * A purchase that RoseHosting suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud, which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same customer, or the referral of accounts that do not comply with this Agreement.
   * A purchase referred by an Affiliate that has an excessive cancellation rate as determined in RoseHosting’s sole discretion.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Affiliate or Referred Customer is in or is promoting a business-opportunity program, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer engaging in "Domain Speculation," which is determined by the identification of two (2) web hosting accounts with the same Referred Customer's name, email address, or other identifying characteristics as determined by RoseHosting and/or the identification of two (2) or more web hosting accounts that have content on their websites or have similar content, templates or formatting, as determined by RoseHosting, in our sole discretion.
  * A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not “active” and does not have a website and a domain name pointed to a RoseHosting server.
b. RoseHosting reserves the right to withhold payment of initial Commissions Fees to Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate Program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined byRoseHosting in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.
c. RoseHosting reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer. RoseHosting reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate's current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled purchases. If no subsequent Commission Fee is due and owing, RoseHosting will send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of the program or termination of the Referred Customer.
d. RoseHosting reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee that fails to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the payment, denial, and withholding of Commission Fees; RoseHosting is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees. If Affiliate has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, Affiliate has thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact RoseHosting to request that the Commission Fee be paid. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly made in RoseHosting’s sole discretion.
  * Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any RoseHosting reseller, referral or other program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase. In other words, you may not receive double commissions or compensation.
  * In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to RoseHosting by an Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by RoseHosting in its sole discretion, RoseHosting reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees to such Affiliate.
e. Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud RoseHosting or any violation of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for RoseHosting to terminate the Affiliates participation in the Affiliate Program and will result in the forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Affiliate.
f. If a referred customer initially purchases a hosting package with a term of at least one (1) year and then downgrades their hosting package to a term of less than one (1) year within one (1) year of their initial purchase, the applicable Rewards paid to the affiliate will be reversed and deducted from future earnings. This does not apply to the percentage-based Affiliate Program.
g. Referred customers that issue a chargeback or are found to be fraudulent (e.g. false information, fake/stolen credit cards, selling counterfeit goods etc.), as determined at RoseHosting’s sole discretion, will be reversed regardless of the amount of time that has passed since the signup occurred.

a. Commissions will accrue and only become payable once you (i) provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to sub-section “i” below and (ii) reach the Commission Threshold of $50.00 based on the commission rates stated on the RoseHosting website, solely as applied to Qualified Purchases which are at least sixty five (65) days old. All Qualified Purchases still eligible to result in commissions under this Section 8 must remain active and in good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain eligible for accrual of a commission. Once a commission has accrued under this Section 8, the amount of such commission (the “Commission Fee”) shall be due and payable to you under the terms of Section 8.
b. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Commission Fee will be calculated according to the specified percentage or dollar amount set forth in the commission report in your affiliate console for each Qualified Purchase that is eligible for commissions during the period for which such Commission Fee is being calculated. All orders must be for the purchase of RoseHosting hosting services by a new and unique customer who arrives at RoseHosting.com by clicking on your referral link, completes the signup process within thirty (30) days of clicking on the affiliate tracking link, and maintains an active paid account with RoseHosting for a minimum of 65 days.
c. Commission Fees will be processed sixty five days (65 days) after the Qualified Purchase has been provisioned. RoseHosting will only compensate you for Qualified Purchases made in accordance with this Agreement.
d. Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in your Affiliate profile. You are required to notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating your profile information in the Affiliate console.
e. RoseHosting will make the payment of your Commission Fees through PayPal. Please refer to PayPal's policy to ensure you are eligible to receive payment from US-based companies if you reside outside of the United States. RoseHosting is not responsible for paying any third-party fees in order for you to receive Commission Fees. Any PayPal fees will be deducted from your Commission Fees and are your responsibility.
f. PayPal payments will only be reissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the original issue date in the case of an incorrect PayPal address or refusal from PayPal to accept a payment.
g. Affiliate has access to RoseHosting’s Affiliate Program statistics and agrees to file any disputes within one month after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes filed after one month after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred will not be accepted by RoseHosting and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
h. It is solely your responsibility to provide the Affiliate Program with accurate tax and payment information that is necessary to issue a Commission Fee to you. If the Affiliate Program does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within sixty (60) days of a Qualified Purchase which would otherwise trigger Commission Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no Commission Fees will be owed with respect to such Qualified Purchase.
i. Each Affiliate is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form before any Commission Fees shall accrue. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions you receive under this Agreement. In compliance with U.S. tax laws, the Affiliate Program will issue a Form 1099 to Affiliates whose earnings meet or exceed the applicable threshold.
j. Any address change must be made in the Affiliate profile in the affiliate console at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the end of the calendar month in order for Commission Fees for that month to be processed.
k. RoseHosting reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold by amending this Agreement and will notify you of any such amendment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

You may log into your affiliate console to review your click through and potential Qualified Purchases statistics on a daily basis. The potential Qualified Purchases shown in this report have not been reviewed to confirm they meet all criteria for Qualified Purchases. As such, Commission Fees may not be issued for all Referred Customers that appear in the affiliate console.

a. You are solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your Affiliate Site and for all materials that appear on your Affiliate Site. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the technical operation of your Affiliate Site and all related equipment; creating and posting product reviews, descriptions, and references on your Affiliate Site and linking those descriptions to our website; the accuracy of materials posted on your Affiliate Site (including, but not limited to, all materials related to RoseHosting Products and Services); ensuring that materials posted on your Affiliate Site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party and are not libelous or otherwise illegal. We disclaim all liability and responsibility for such matters.
b. We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor signups through your Affiliate Site from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If you are not in compliance we may terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program effective immediately.

We will provide all the information necessary for you to make Links from your Affiliate Site to our site. RoseHosting will be solely responsible for order processing (including payment processing, cancellations, and refunds) for orders for RoseHosting Products and Services placed by a Referred Customer following a Link from your Affiliate Site, for tracking the volume and amount of Qualified Purchases generated by your Affiliate Site, and for providing information to Affiliates regarding Qualified Purchase statistics.

Referred Customers who buy RoseHosting Products and Services through our affiliate network are deemed to be RoseHosting Customers. RoseHosting’s Terms and Conditions, rules, policies, and operating procedures will apply to such customers. We may change our policies, pricing, and operating procedures at any time. For example, RoseHosting determines the prices to be charged for RoseHosting Products and Services sold through the affiliate network in accordance with our own pricing policies. Prices and availability of RoseHosting Products and Services may vary from time to time, from affiliate to affiliate, and from region to region. Because price changes may affect products that you have listed on your Affiliate Site, you may or may not be able to include price information in your product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information on our website, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular RoseHosting Product or Service. If you list the pricing of RoseHosting’s Products and Services on your website, please check RoseHosting’s website regularly to note any price changes and update the pricing on your website.

You shall not create, publish, transmit or distribute, under any circumstances, any bulk email messages (also known as "SPAM") related to this Affiliate Program. Additionally, you may only send emails containing a RoseHosting affiliate link and or a message regarding RoseHosting or RoseHosting's Affiliate Program to people who have previously consented to receiving such communications from you. Your failure to abide by this Section 13, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, our Anti-Spam Policy, and all applicable laws relating to email communications, in any manner, will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by you and will result in the forfeiture by you of any and all rights you may have to any commissions and the termination of your participation in the Affiliate Program. Further, if your account has excessive clicks in a very short period of time as determined by RoseHosting in its sole discretion, the Affiliate relationship may be terminated.

a. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 above and otherwise in this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to (i) access our website through the Links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such Links, to use the RoseHosting trademark and logo and similar identifying material provided by us (collectively, the "Licensed Materials"), for the sole purpose of selling RoseHosting Products and Services on your Affiliate Site and as approved in advance by us. You may not alter, modify, or change the Licensed Materials in any way. You are only entitled to use the Licensed Materials while you are an Affiliate in good standing and in compliance with all of the terms of this Agreement.
b. You shall not use the Licensed Materials for any purposes other than selling RoseHosting Products and Services, without first submitting a sample to us and obtaining the express prior written consent of RoseHosting in each instance. You shall not use the Licensed Materials in any manner that is
disparaging or that otherwise portrays RoseHosting, any hosted member of RoseHosting or any RoseHosting employee or representative in a negative light. We reserve all of our rights in the Licensed Materials and your license to use such material is limited to the manner described herein. We may revoke your license at any time, by giving you written notice. If not previously revoked, this license shall immediately terminate upon the termination of your participation in the Affiliate Program. c. You grant to us a non-exclusive license to utilize your name, title, trademarks, and logos (the "Affiliate" Trademarks") in any advertisement or other materials used to promote RoseHosting and the Affiliate Program, provided that RoseHosting's use of the Affiliate Trademarks is not required and is at its sole discretion. This license shall terminate upon the termination of your participation in the Affiliate Program.

a. The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate Program application and will end when terminated by either party (the “Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause.
b. You are only eligible to earn Commission Fees on Qualified Purchases occurring during the Term. Commission Fees earned prior to the date of termination will be eligible for commissions only if the orders for the related RoseHosting Products and Services are not cancelled within [90] days and comply with all of the terms of this Agreement. We may withhold your final payment of Commission Fees for a reasonable time to ensure that all Qualified Purchases are valid and payment from Referred Customers are legitimate as determined by RoseHosting in its sole discretion.
c. Any Affiliate who violates this Agreement, RoseHosting's Terms and Conditions, or any applicable law will immediately forfeit any right to any and all accrued, but not yet received, Commission Fees and will be immediately removed from the Affiliate Program.
d. RoseHosting reserves the right to remove an Affiliate from the Affiliate Program, and to terminate or suspend this Agreement, at any time for any reason, in RoseHosting's sole discretion.

We may modify this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion; provided that the change shall solely apply to events occurring after the date on which you accept and agree to such modifications unless you otherwise agree herein. Such modifications shall take effect when posted on our website. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the scope of available Commission Fees, commission amounts or percentages, payment procedures, Commission Fee payment schedules, and Affiliate Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this agreement, in which event you shall be entitled to your rights under the unmodified Agreement prior to the date of the applicable modification. Your continued participation in the Affiliate Program following our posting of any modification on our website will constitute binding acceptance of the change.

We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Affiliate Program or any RoseHosting Products and Services sold through the Affiliate Program (including, without limitation, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING, OR TRADE USAGE). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our website will be uninterrupted or error free.
