9. Affiliate Commissions
Upon acceptance into the affiliate program for EnigmaSoft’s products, You will be eligible to receive an affiliate commission (the “Commission”) for the successful completion of Eligible Purchases. An “Eligible Purchase” occurs when a customer (not You) clicks-through the link (supplied by EnigmaSoft to You) to the EnigmaSoft Site and successfully completes a purchase for which EnigmaSoft receives and retains payment at a level designated by and acceptable to EnigmaSoft for an Affiliate to earn Commissions and for which there is no refund claimed or issued. The current rates of Commission and the terms and conditions for earning Commissions shall be set forth in Your Tapfiliate account located on the https://affiliates.enigmasoftware.com affiliate website and through the terms and conditions of these Affiliate Guidelines which are binding on You (except and unless EnigmaSoft has agreed in a signed writing to a different rate or term for Your Tapfiliate account. EnigmaSoft reserves the right to modify the Commission rate from time to time, in its sole discretion. EnigmaSoft is responsible for authorizing Commission payments and all Commission payments shall be in accordance with this Agreement. You agree that EnigmaSoft shall be entitled and shall have the express right to withhold, deduct and set off from any payments to be made to You hereunder any sums owed by You to EnigmaSoft, whether in connection with this Agreement (including any breach hereof by You) or otherwise. You expressly agree that Commissions are NOT payable and earned on Free Trial and/or Special Promotional versions offered by EnigmaSoft and that Commissions are only payable and earned on subscriptions purchased at EnigmaSoft’s standard retail price (unless EnigmaSoft agrees in a signed written document to permitting payment of Commissions on purchases at a discounted price which decision shall be in EnigmaSoft’s sole discretion). You further expressly agree that Commissions are not payable or earned on any renewals of subscriptions by users or customers.
These Guidelines for earning commissions have always been based on the principle that commissions would be earned when a customer/user purchase and/or sale is completely successful and the customer payment is secured by EnigmaSoft via EnigmaSoft's standard immediate level gateway payment processor system of payment processing vendors. When successful payments are not secured via EnigmaSoft's standard immediate level gateways and EnigmaSoft is required to expend additional resources, money, expenses, and time itself to secure customer/user payments by engaging additional secondary or additional third-party vendors to secure customer/user payments no commissions shall be earned or due to or payable to affiliates whatsoever.
NOTE: You expressly agree that any and all commissions, compensations and/or remunerations payable to You in connection with Your marketing and/or sales of EnigmaSoft's products shall be payable only in USD currency; which shall mean a payment equivalent to USD currency regardless of which currency You select for Your payment. In the event that Your sales are in currencies other than USD currency, Enigma will use reasonable exchange rates as selected in its sole discretion to calculate the payment due to You. To ensure a streamlined and reliable commission/renumeration process EnigmaSoft uses Trolley Technologies Inc. (https://trolley.com/; see also https://trolley.com/legal-agreements/). Depending upon the payment method You select, applicable Trolley transaction fees will be charged and deducted from Your actual commissions/renumerations amount. To review the potentially applicable fees, which we understand are nominal, contact us at affiliates@enigmasoftware.com. (To the extent Your selected financial institution and/or payment methods may impose fees to receive and/or process Your transactions such fees shall be borne by You.)
10. Reversal & Communication Policy
EnigmaSoft reserves the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and affiliate program for EnigmaSoft’s products violations. Additionally, if we ask You for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of this Agreement, we expect that You will respond immediately in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.
If any of the above applies, then we reserve the right to reverse orders, set Your commission to 0% or suspend You from the affiliate program for EnigmaSoft’s products for the period or orders in question and/or immediately terminate You.
