Thodio Affiliate Program Terms and Policies

By participating in the Thodio Affiliate Program (“Program”), you agree with the terms and policies set forth in the agreement (“Agreement”) below. Please read the entire Agreement. It is a legal agreement between you and Thodio. By submitting the online application, you are agreeing that you have read and understand the terms and policies of this Agreement, and that, if Thodio accepts your application, you agree to be legally responsible for each and every term and policy.

Your participation in the Program is solely for the purpose of legally advertising Thodio to receive a commission on products purchased by your referrals.

This Agreement begins when Thodio accepts you into the Program and will end when your participation is terminated.

Thodio may change the Program or this Agreement at any time without notice. If any change to the Program or the Agreement is unacceptable to you, your only choice is to terminate your participation. Your continuing participation in the Program will constitute your acceptance of any change.

You or Thodio may suspend or terminate your participation in the Program at any time for any reason. You are only eligible to earn commissions while you are participating in the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Referrals

Thodio will attribute referrals to you based on a tracking code embedded in your affiliate links.

Thodio uses the Refersion affiliate tracking system owned by Refersion, Inc. When a referral clicks through your affiliate link, Refersion sets a cookie in the browser that contains your tracking code. Refersion also tracks other information, such as the IP address of the referral, in its database along with your tracking code. When the referral decides to buy a product at Thodio, a script will look for the cookie, or try to match the IP address, or use similar technology to identify you and award the commission. Referrals from your affiliate link may make a purchase later in time and Thodio will still award the commission if the cookie is still present in the browser or the IP address still matches one logged in the database.

Thodio reserves the right to refuse service to any referral.

Commissions

Thodio will pay you a commission on products purchased by your referrals according to the designated payment schedule.

Thodio uses the Refersion affiliate tracking system owned by Refersion, Inc. to tabulate and track sales and commission payments due to our affiliates after the tracking process and purchases are completed. Through the Refersion website, you will have access to information we use to determine commissions we owe you.

Thodio reserves the right to increase or decrease commission rates from time to time as it sees fit.

There is no maximum commission limit.

If a referral returns a product or if the referral requests a chargeback on the purchase, you will not receive a commission. Thodio returns all money to the referral, so you must also return your portion of the sale. Because of the 14-day return period for all Thodio products, shipping times and because of periodic processing, Thodio may hold your commission payout for a period of up to 6 weeks.

Reversals

Thodio reserves the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and policies.

Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and policies, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.

1) You are not forthcoming, you are intentionally vague, or you are found to be lying.

2) You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to make contact using the information listed in your network profile.

3) You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to suspend you from the Program, reverse orders, modify payouts, set your commission to 0%, or immediately terminate your participation in the Program. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to address such issues proactively and to adhere to the terms and policies of this Agreement.

Assets

The tools, products, and creative assets (collectively “Assets”) that Thodio provides to you include valuable information vital to the success of the Program, including a tracking code that Thodio uses to attribute referrals to you.

Thodio grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable license (“License”) to use Assets as specified under the terms and policies of this Agreement. The term of the License shall expire upon your departure from the Program or termination of this Agreement.

You will use the Assets as Thodio instructs:

1) You agree that you will not corrupt, modify, or disable the tracking functionality in the Assets.

2) You will not alter, add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify the Assets as Thodio provides them unless you obtain prior written consent from Thodio.

3) You may only use the Assets for the purpose of promoting Thodio and its products.

4) Thodio retains all rights, ownership, and interest in the Assets, and in any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property in the Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant you any rights, ownership, or interest in the Assets, or in the underlying intellectual property, other than the License to use Assets as granted in this Agreement.

5) You will not make any claim to ownership of the Assets, or of the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property therein.
