Upon obtaining your sharing link as part of the Program, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply in full force and effect, until terminated, pursuant to the terms set forth below. Further, you will need to complete any enrollment criteria set out in the Program Policies Page or by the Affiliate Tool, if applicable.

We will pay you Commission as described in the Affiliate Tool (or if applicable, in the Program Policies) for each new Customer who completes an applicable customer transaction after clicking on an Affiliate Link made available by you, provided that you remain eligible to receive Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The start of the Customer’s subscription is determined by the date of the first purchase or sign up (as applicable) of the service by the Customer and you will receive a Commission payment for eligible subsequent subscription payments as described in the Affiliate Tool (or if applicable, in the Program Policies).

4. Eligibility. To be eligible for Commission (i) an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and valid in accordance with the ‘Acceptance and Validity’ section, (ii) a successful customer transaction must have occurred, (iii) a Customer must remain a customer during the locking period in the Affiliate Too, and (iv) the Partner must be eligible for Commission by registering with and completing all onboarding steps with the Affiliate Tool.
