Affiliate Agreement

Affiliate Registration

To register as an affiliate you must have an active Client Portal license, that you own, and have used for 31+ days.

We review and moderate all affiliate registrations, and we appreciate your accurate and honest information. Please note that the review process may take a few days – we know you are eager to join our team of affiliates, and we appreciate your patience!

If you’re approved, awesome! You’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote Client Portal via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for visits and referrals information, creatives, graphs and more!

Commissions and payouts

You’ll earn a sweet 30% commission when a customer purchases a new Client Portal licence using your referral link. There’s one licence: single-site, $199 a year. You earn $59.70.

We pay out affiliate commissions in USD via PayPal in the first week of every month. As we have a 30-day money back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days. There’s no minimum or maximum payout balance, so go nuts!

We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.

Here are the details of our program in summary:

• To register as an affiliate you must have an active Client Portal license that you own (i.e. you may not use a client’s Client Portal license)
• You must have held that license for 31+ days
• You’ll receive 30% commission for every new sale you refer
• No minimum or maximum payout (we pay in USD)
• Commissions older than 30 days will be paid within the first week of each month
• Referrals are paid out via PayPal
• Referrals cannot be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).

Referral cookie lifetime

When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for a generous 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase Client Portal, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

• The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)
• The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Refunded purchases

Referrals older than 30 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout. If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:

• The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
• The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.

Affiliate news and updates

By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive emails from Client Portal. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the Client Portal affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote Client Portal. As an affiliate you may be privy to embargoed or time-sensitive information in these emails (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted). And we won’t spam you, ever – promise!

Affiliate application rejection

We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Affiliate applications for websites that sell, advertise or engage in pornography, phishing scams, spamming, illegal business practices, or that include any material infringing on National or International Copyright will be rejected.
• Affiliate applications for websites that we do not believe are aligned with our industry or business may be rejected.
• If you apply to become an affiliate and you have not purchased a license, your application will be rejected.
• If you apply to become an affiliate and it has been less than 30 days since you purchased a license, your application may be rejected.
• Affiliate applicants with websites that re-sell any of our products will be rejected.
• Websites considered inappropriate by Client Portal will be rejected.

Inappropriate websites

The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.

Questions regarding your application

When you apply to become an affiliate we may email you at the email address you have supplied with some questions regarding your application. This may be because we didn’t understand something in your application, or we’d like to learn a bit more about how you will promote Client Portal and need a little more detail.

If we reach out to you and we haven’t heard back within 7 days, your application may be rejected. If your initial application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply to become an affiliate and provide us with more detail for reconsideration.

Dormant affiliate accounts

Please don’t leave us! We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote Client Portal to keep earning referrals. If we can help you come up with ideas on how to promote Client Portal, please let us know – we’re here for you! An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. A dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated if no visits have been generated after 6 months.

Allowed promotional methods

How you promote Client Portal is reflected in the commission you earn! We encourage the use of promotional methods that add value to Client Portal and bring us legitimate, loyal customers. Examples include:

• Tell clients, customers or friends about Client Portal, and give them your affiliate referral link
• Write a review or a blog post about Client Portal and link to our site with your referral link
• Reach out on social networks with your affiliate referral link (spam-free)
• Answer related questions on other sites with helpful responses, and use your referral link in your replies

Prohibited promotional methods

Client Portal may not be promoted on coupon sites.

Any type of spam is prohibited — links, ads, emails, comments. Please respect the posting rules of any third-party websites you use.

Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited.

Affiliates aren’t employees of Client Portal. Pretending to be Client Portal, cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, or pretending that a site created by you is an official Client Portal site is prohibited.

If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your referrals may be rejected and we may disable your affiliate account. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you.

Phew! Sound good? Great! Thanks for taking the time to read through these T’s and C’s and for agreeing to them. We can’t wait to have you on board!
