Each account is for use by either a single legal entity (e.g. a company or a partnership) or an individual user. We do not permit you to share your user name and password with any other person nor with multiple users on a network. Responsibility for the security of any user names and passwords issued (including those of any Invitees) rests with you.

You may not use the Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Program, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).

Referral Links & Promotion

You will be provided with a URL link that must be used to identify you when placing a link from your site, email or other communications to the Imitate Email website. It is your responsibility to ensure each such link is correctly formatted.

We may also provide graphical images that can be used within the links to promote Imitate Email. You may not modify these images in any way. We reserve the right to change the images at any time without notice.

You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site

You may not use our name or graphics in any bulk email whatsoever unless we have given our advanced written consent. We may terminate the Agreement if any meaningful spam complaints naming us or our services result from your marketing activities.

You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our Services, say you are part of Imitate Email or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Referral Fees

For the sale of a subscription to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your site, email, or other communications to the Imitate Email website and sign up to a paid subscription within 90 days of the initial click-through. If they fail to sign up within those 90 days and later return without following your link, you will not earn a referral fee.

We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system.

We will only pay referral fees to the Affiliate whose link is clicked first.

The referral fee is 40% of our revenue from customers that you refer or 20% if the recipient of the referral is also rewarded. The referral fee will be credited to your Affiliate account once the customer pays their subscription. Referral fees are only earned if a customer makes a payment in full.

We will only pay referral fees on payments made directly through Imitate Email. Payments made through 3rd parties do not qualify.

Payment

Accrued referral fees are paid via bank transfer roughly once per month and only when your accrued referral fees total $50 or more. The Affiliate will then raise an invoice to Imitate Email for the indicated amount. You must have a valid bank account to receive referral fees, as we do not offer payment via cheque/check, credit card, cash or other method.

Customer payments refunded or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for referral fees. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.

A summary of sign ups and statement of referral fees is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate account.

The referral fee structure is subject to change at our discretion.

We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you.

We reserve the right to check and change commissions on the basis of orders actually paid, the notification e-mail is not understood as a confirmed commission - this is only a notification, and every payment will be verified based on real transactions.
