Make representations through domain name, code, designs, imagery, video, text or otherwise that makes your website resemble the Veremark Website in a manner which leads customers to believe you are the Veremark Website, business or a legal representative of Veremark in any way. Creation of separate websites to solely promote Veremark products and services requires a prior written approval from a Affiliate & Referral Programme Manager.

Offer rebates, coupons, or other form of promised kickbacks from your Commission as an incentive. Adding bonuses or bundling other products with Veremark, however, is acceptable, if prior permission is received from the Affiliate & Referral Programme Manager.

7. Commission Payment

7.1 Affiliate will be entitled to Commission in accordance with this section 7. Affiliate is entitled to the Commission if Affiliate has referred the Customer and the sales opportunity to Veremark using referral code and if this referral (your affiliated company/companies) have subscribed to and used Veremark’s services.

doesn’t breach any limitations set forth in clause 7.4,

7.2 The Commission amounts is calculated as a 10% commission of the Veremark services that your affiliated company/companies have subscribed to and used within the first two (2) years of them opening their account on Veremark’s platform. The 10% commission does not include the disbursement fees i.e. data fees for checks,  government fees and payment processing fees are not included as part of the affiliate commission.  

The Commission amounts and exclusions may be changed by Veremark at any time.

7.3 At the end of each quarter, we will assess if you are eligible for the payout and will schedule the payment. For example, if you would get a successful conversion in Q1, the payout would be done in June.

7.4 Affiliate will receive a Commission if:

(i) the total accrued unpaid Commissions must exceed the minimum threshold of £500 GBP / $1000 SGD. The only valid statistics used for determining Commissions will be those collected and provided by Veremark. If you do not make over this amount in a given quarter, we will roll over the balance to the next quarter until this minimum threshold is met.

(ii) your referral provides the code to Veremark when they sign up.

(iii) If the purchaser is not an existing customer, does not request a refund within this timeframe, if the Commission was not a result of a self-referral and doesn’t breach any other terms of this Agreement,  we also reserve the right to decline a commission, if we are already working with that referral or if they were introduced to us earlier by another Affiliate or channel.

Representative’s right to receive commission shall be valid for the term of this Agreement.

8. Affiliate Promotional Materials


8.1
You are free to promote what you deem appropriate on your own website(s), but any promotion that mentions Veremark and any associated trademarks may be perceived by the press or the public as a joint effort. You should therefore note that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Veremark. Any promotions by Affiliate should never contravene promotional laws in their location.  

8.2 Advertising commonly known as "spamming" is inappropriate and unacceptable to us and constitutes a material breach of this Affiliate Agreement. Other prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once.

Additionally, you may not advertise in any way that effectively hides or misrepresents your own identity, your domain name, or your email address. You may use emails or other messages to customers to promote Veremark’ Services if the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings and such emails or other messages are otherwise sent in compliance with the laws applicable to them.  

8.3 In any direct marketing messages sent by the Affiliate, the Affiliate must identify itself and its contact details. Affiliate warrants that it complies with applicable data protection legislation including General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 when processing personal data. Furthermore, Affiliate warrants that it has informed data subjects about their personal data processing including possible disclosures and it has obtained data subjects’ consents to the processing of those personal data if required by applicable data protection legislation.

8.4 Also, you may only post to newsgroups to promote Veremark if the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. You must always clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from Veremark.

8.5 Affiliates that bid in their pay-per-click campaigns on keywords such as Veremark.com, Veremark, Veremark, Veremark coupons, Veremark Discounts, super metrics, www.Veremark, www.Veremark.com, Data Grabber and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with any other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to redirecting it to our website, will be considered to be in material breach of the Agreement. In order to use any Veremark related keywords through paid advertising you need prior approval from one of Veremark Affiliate managers. Using “doorway pages” in such instances or overall as part of Veremark promotional activities is also strictly prohibited.

9. Warranties and Disclaimer of Warranties

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Veremark’ cumulative liability to you arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether based in contract, negligence, strict liability, tort or other legal or equitable theory, exceed the total Commission fees paid to You under this Agreement during the preceding three (3) months period.

11. Indemnification


11.1 Affiliate will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Veremark, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, Affiliates, members, and other owners, against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (any or all of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as "Losses") insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on

(i) any claim that our use of the Affiliate trademarks infringes on any trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, license, intellectual property, or other proprietary right of any third party,

(ii) any misrepresentation of a representation or warranty or breach of a covenant and agreement made by you herein, or

You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your website or any other website or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.  

13.2 The parties note that the Affiliate is free to determine the essential means of processing personal data relating to its Affiliate marketing activities. For instance, whether or not the Affiliate targets any identified or identifiable natural persons as a part of its marketing efforts, or otherwise processes personal data for Affiliate marketing purposes, is solely determined by the Affiliate. As a consequence, the Affiliate serves as a data controller with regard to any personal data processed by it for the purpose of the conclusion and performance of this Agreement.
