Please read carefully to understand how our Affiliates program works
Our Affiliate Program allows you to generate an automatic income by simply advertising our products.
This program allows you to make our products known to your users and lets you earn a commission corresponding to the agreed percentage of the price of the first purchase made by the user in the case of eligible products, and you will earn recurring commissions in the case of eligible subscription/membership purchases. The sum of money owed to you will be immediately credited to your own REI Social account.
These Terms and Conditions are an addendum to REI Social General Terms and Conditions and everything defined in there is also held as valid.
Below you will find details concerning how “Becoming an Affiliate” works, payments and further details concerning the Affiliate Program.
Definition of the Terms
User, in these Terms and Conditions, is any subject browsing the Internet and coming to REI Social website and to the Affiliate page.
- “Buyer” refers to any user that has made a purchase in our marketplace.
- “Affiliate” is any person adhering to REI Social Affiliate Program and subject to these Terms and Conditions. Any reference to you, your, yours is in reference to the affiliate.
- REI Social is the author of this document and any reference in this document as we, us or our should be held as referred to REI Social.
Becoming an REI Social Affiliate
Here you will find how REI Social Affiliate Program works.
For each user coming to our marketplace by means of a link or a banner that you have advertised, you can earn a provision equal to the agreed percentage on the purchase price of the eligible product or service bought by that user.
From your personal page on REI Social, you will receive an affiliate link (or referral link) that will be automatically generated from your username. You can paste it on your website or use banners with that link and advertise it on your website.
Any of your users coming to our store by means of that link and purchasing any eligible product or service in our store will grant you a commission on the purchase.
Affiliate Percentage
Products
The affiliate percentage for our products is set to 15% of the purchase price. So, for example, if a user reaches us through your link and buys a product that costs $37, your provision is $5.55 (that is, 15% of the product purchase price). You will be paid one time on the first purchase of an eligible product.
Membership Subscriptions
The affiliate percentage for our products is set to 20% of the subscription fee. So, for example, if a user reaches us through your link and subscribes to a membership subscription that costs $150/mo, your provision is $30 for the initial subscription. You will also earn recurring payouts of 20% for as long as the customer continues their monthly membership.
Sharing of special products and promotions does not generate any affiliate commissions.
Cookies
An important section of the Terms and Conditions has to be devoted to cookies.
We use cookies to track users that reach our store by means of your affiliate link (or referral link). If your users do not allow or clear cookies, we will not be able to track your affiliate link and therefore we will not be able to pay you the provision.
You should also remember that cookies are available for 30 days. If your users visit our marketplace, but they make a purchase only after this term, you cannot be entitled of the provision anymore.
Validity of right to provision
In order to be entitled to the provision, users that buy through your affiliate link must not be related to you or to your company.
In order to be entitled to the provision, users that reach our website shall neither have visited it before, nor have a REI Social account.
Sharing of special products and promotions does not generate any affiliate commissions.
F.A.Q.
What happens if the buyer has come to REI Social by following two different affiliate links, my affiliate link and another person’s?
If users come to our marketplace through more than one affiliate link, the first one they access is to be held as the only one deserving the provision. For example, if one of your users reaches our marketplace through your link first, then once again through the affiliate link of another person, and only then purchases, you will be the one entitled of the provision for that purchase.
Will I get commissions on membership renewals?
Yes, membership subscription renewals generate commissions.
Payments
In this section, you will find how payments of the provisions will be made.
Minimum Threshold
Each provision you earn will be credited to your REI Social account, so you allow us to pay provisions to you and credit them to your account. We will issue the payout on the 15th of the month once you have reached the minimum amount of $50.
Payment Methods
REI Social keeps your earnings safe until you require payment. Unless we decide to pay your earnings before, they will be kept safe for you until we get a request for payment from you.
Payments are issued on the 15th of the month. If the 15th happens to be a holiday, you will receive the payment the first following working day available. The moment you send the request, we will ask you to enter your correct data. This will automatically generate an invoice where the affiliate declares to receive the payment of the requested amount, so, please, make sure the information you enter is correct. Payments will be done through PayPal and any possible expense for payment will be charged to you.
Keeping Your Earnings
If for any reason we cannot pay your earnings, we will keep them safe, including the circumstances in which we do not have the correct payment data or we are not able to contact you using the contact data you gave us. We will keep your earnings safe also if you ask us to make the payment to a person or an institution and it cannot be done for any reason, whether for legal or banking restrictions.
Currency Conversion
Any time we make a payment to an affiliate, we are not responsible for currency conversion of your earnings from Dollars into your favorite currency, nor are we responsible for any possible conversion costs that your financial institution might apply.
Refund
If any of the purchases related to your affiliate earnings is subject to refund or chargeback, we can at our discretion withdraw also the concerned commission from your Affiliate earnings.
What do I need to be paid for the provisions?
You need to reach the minimum threshold of $50 in provisions and to have a PayPal account.
Will my earnings be paid automatically when I reach the minimum threshold of $50?
Yes, they will be paid, after reaching the minimum threshold of $50 and by the 15th of the month after you have earned the minimum threshold. If you earn the $50 threshold on day 16, you will need to wait until the following month for the payout.
Protection of the Users
You cannot do any act that could be confusing, misleading or deceptive for users, inter alias, confuse them about the fact that your website be managed or authorized by REI Social (e.g. by emulating graphic elements from our website).
Our trademarks or domains or intellectual properties are property of REI Social and you cannot use them.
You cannot purchase a domain name, search engine keywords, pay-per-click advertisements that use our trademarks or any possible variation, nor use texts that describe our products unless you receive our official consent.
You cannot act against users in any form that is a law violation, including spam, privacy, intellectual property violations, fraud, confusing actions for new users, or links purposely made to deceive customers.
You cannot act in any way that is direct or indirect contravention of REI Social Terms and Conditions, nor behave in any way that does not conform to our standards.
Fairness Policy
We reserve the right to decide whether or not your use of the Affiliate Program complies with REI Social Affiliate Program Terms or with REI Social Terms and Conditions (for example, a coupon site where no big efforts are done to positively contribute to our business image in a win-to-win scenario as we require is not allowed). If we decide that your participation in the Affiliate Program does not comply, after official communication, we can withdraw your earnings and may disable your account.
REI Social Affiliate Program is subject to a fairness and integrity policy that has to be respected, and that entitles REI Social to consider revising for each unfair affiliate.
