The following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) set out the legally binding terms of your participation in the Teekila affiliate program (the “Program”). The Program is owned and operated by Homepro Systems LLC. (“Teekila”). The Program is offered subject to your (the “User” or “you”) acceptance without modification of any of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published occasionally on the Teekila.com website (the “Site”) by Teekila. If you do not agree with this Agreement, do not use the Program.

You indicate your acceptance of this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions contained or referenced in this Agreement by completing the application process.

1. Affiliate Agreement

The User certifies to Teekila that if the User is an individual (i.e., not a company) the User is at least 18 years of age. If the User is a legal entity, you certify that you are an officer of the company or you are otherwise authorized to act on behalf of the company. Teekila at its own discretion may limit or terminate the access to or participation in the Program for certain individuals and/or entities, such as but not limited to ecommerce platforms, online marketplaces, and other partners not eligible for joining our Program according to Teekila’s determination. The User also certifies that it is legally permitted to use the Program, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Program. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Program is revoked in such jurisdictions.

2. Registration & Account

In order to enjoy all the benefits of the Program, the User must register with Teekila and become a member. Membership requires that the User registers on the Site (including by filling out all required personal information). The User may opt out of marketing and promotional emails. The User may cancel participation in the affiliate program by deleting Teekila account. To complete registration, the User shall provide an email address and a password. The User may never use another’s Teekila account without permission from that user. The User is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on the User’s account, and the User must keep its account password secure. The User must notify Teekila immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of its account. Although Teekila will not be liable for the User’s losses caused by any unauthorized use of its account, the User may be liable for the losses of Teekila or others due to such unauthorized use.

3. Modifications

Teekila reserves the right, at its discretion, to change, modify, suspend or discontinue this Agreement, Program, fees, charges, and terms at any time, including the availability of any feature, or content. Teekila may also impose limits on certain features or restrict the User’s access to parts or all of the Program without notice or liability. The User shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Use of the Program by the User following such notification constitutes the User’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of changes as modified.

4. Affiliate URL

You will be issued a unique URL once you become an approved User of the Program which will be unique to you only, and will allow you to be paid for affiliate referrals. You can place that URL on your website, emails, blogs, social network advertising, or similar campaigns from an account or platform that is registered in your name or which you are authorized to use. You expressly agree that Teekila’s name, trademark, logo or any other identifying material placed by you will appear only in the form and according to technical specification supplied by Teekila. Teekila, at its sole discretion, may change your URL.

When an affiliate URL is opened, the cookie file is saved in the browser’s cache for 30 days. Customers need to sign up or place an order during this time to be linked with your affiliate account.

5. Commissions

For each referred customer who visits the Site through your unique URL and signs up as a customer, you will only receive commission if Teekila products are sold through Teekila-approved ecommerce platforms and integrations. You will not receive commission for sample orders. Additionally, taxes and shipping are excluded from the calculations, but discounts are included.

The affiliate period of each customer lasts 9 months after your referred customer’s first order. Referring a prospective customer who previously was or currently is a Teekila customer does not qualify for commission. You can track affiliate commissions by logging into your Affiliate Dashboard on the Site. Affiliate commission is credited once the customer’s order is fully shipped, meaning that if part of the order has been shipped, commission will not be credited until the final part of the order gets shipped.

To avoid confusion, all tax-related reporting to relevant tax authorities is entirely your responsibility. We will withhold taxes from payments that are due (including international payments) if you do not provide Teekila with relevant documentation (such as the W8-BEN form or other).

6. Payment

You will receive commission after the order has been fully shipped, meaning that if part of the order has been shipped, commission will not be credited until the final part of the order gets shipped. Commission is calculated after any refunds if any refund is given to orders. In the event that the customer’s order is cancelled, returned or refunded for any reason, we will deduct the relevant amount from your accrued earnings. If a refund is made after we have paid commission to you, we will deduct the respective amount from your account (any future payments).

The minimum withdrawal amount is $25 USD. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to your first commission being due and the account balance does not exceed $25 USD, then no referral commission will be due. If commission is not withdrawn from the balance within 1 (one) year, then this past due commission is voided and removed from the commission balance. All payments will be made via PayPal. You must have a PayPal account for this purpose. Payments are made via PayPal in USD within 1-3 business days after your request is received.

7. Restrictions

The User may use the affiliate URL for the sole purpose of promoting Teekila and referring prospective customers to the Site. Except to the extent permitted by applicable law, the User shall not (i) send unauthorized (unsolicited commercial) emails or use any illegal method of advertising to promote the Teekila products that include the URL, and the User shall be solely liable for any such unauthorized communications (all marketing practices must comply with all applicable laws and regulations); (ii) display the URL in any way that in Teekila’s discretion disparages or creates a derogatory or negative image of Teekila; (iii) make any false or misleading representations relating to Teekila, or engage in any other practices that could harm the reputation of Teekila; or (iv) display the URL or any content in a manner that contains or promotes (a) illegal activities or (b) content that is misleading, deceptive, or violates any third-party intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any kind.

You also agree that you are not the target of trade, financial, and economic sanctions, and that you do not appear on a sanctions-related list, including lists maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the European Union, or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom. You also agree that you will not promote Teekila in and refer prospective customers to the Site from countries or territories that are the target of comprehensive embargoes or sanctions (including Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and the Crimea region) or parties on the sanctions-related lists referenced above.

8. Advertising

You must not use any misleading or deceptive claims in advertising copy. You are solely responsible for following all federal, state and local laws, regulations and rules regarding advertising claims, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission’s Disclosure Guidelines. You must adhere to all the editorial guidelines and search advertising terms and conditions set forth by each search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing and other), including any updates to those terms in the future. Where search engine guidelines and this Agreement conflict, you must follow this Agreement.

When creating ads, videos, or other online content that publishes your affiliate URL on websites, Teekila’s brand image needs to be kept in mind. Sites where you advertise cannot be associated with content that’s vulgar, racist, sexual, or otherwise deemed offensive by Teekila. You must remove all ads and videos from websites deemed offensive within 24 hours of being notified by Teekila. The Teekila logo cannot be altered or changed. You are prohibited from creating groups or specific web pages in social communities to publicize Teekila offers.

Users can engage in search engine optimization and pay per click activities. If you are sending paid traffic (PPC, PPV, Media Buys) to Teekila, it is required that you send the traffic through a landing page or web property first. We do not allow direct linking. We restrict Users from using keywords that include our brand name: Teekila, The Teekila, Teekila.com, or any variation or combination therein. You must also not knowingly serve ads that appear in a higher position than Teekila managed ads. You shall not promote Teekila on coupon sites.

You must not purchase or use domain names containing any Teekila trademark, including domain names that combine a Teekila trademark with one or more additional words, letters, numbers, or other characters, or domain names containing any misspelling or other confusingly similar variation of any Teekila trademark.

We don’t approve self-referrals – you cannot refer yourself, and you will not receive commission on your own accounts.

Clickjacking, linkjacking, typosquatting or any sort of domain spoofing methods are prohibited.

Pixel, cookie stuffing or any other type of cookie stuffing without source website visitor’s knowledge is prohibited.

Using traffic generated by pay to read, PPC (pay to click), banner exchanges, click exchanges, PPV advertising, pop-up/under, or similar methods is prohibited.

9. Customer information

Each customer who visits the Site through your URL must fill out their customer information. All customer information is the sole and exclusive property of Teekila and the respective customer. You do not have any right to either (i) participate in any aspect of the information process, or (ii) receive any of the customer’s personal information. This policy prohibits you from receiving customer information directly from customers and subsequently forwarding the customer information to Teekila. You may request personal information from customers directly related to your own activities, registrations, promotions, etc., but Teekila will never reveal any personally identifying information about customers or a customer applicant.

10. Term & Termination

This Agreement is effective at the time your application is, at the sole discretion of Teekila, accepted by Teekila and you are notified of such acceptance either in writing or electronically. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, all licenses granted hereunder shall immediately terminate and you will immediately cease use of, and remove all links to the Site, and all Teekila trademarks and logos, other marks and all other materials provided in connection with the Program.

Teekila reserves the right to delete unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for extended periods of time. By violating any applicable law or this Agreement, the Agreement will be terminated immediately and the User understands and agrees that any and all accrued commissions will be immediately forfeit and that the User’s account will be immediately terminated.

11. Release

You release Teekila (and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. You agree that Teekila shall be released from any and all damages resulting from the failure to receive any benefits of an anticipated collaboration.

14. Limitation of Liability

Teekila will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages (or loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement, even if Teekila has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, Teekila’s aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement will not exceed the total referral commissions paid or payable to you under this Agreement.

15. Law & Jurisdiction

If a dispute arises between you and Teekila, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
