Effective as of February 7, 2024

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY JOINING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PREFINERY AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. NOTE THAT SECTION 14 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU, AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PREFINERY AFFILIATE PROGRAM.

This Prefinery Affiliate Program Agreement (“Agreement”) applies to each affiliate's (“Affiliate,” “you” or “your”) access to and participation in the Prefinery Affiliate Program (the “Program”), which is operated by Compulsivo, Inc. dba Prefinery (“Company”, “our”, “us” or “we”). This Agreement does not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Company for other products and services. In addition, this Agreement complements and incorporates by reference Company's Terms of Services at https://www.prefinery.com/terms (“Terms of Service”). In the event of any conflict between the Terms of Service and this Agreement related to the Program, this Agreement will control.

Each Affiliate is responsible for assuring that its employees, agents, and contractors comply with this Agreement. The “Site” refers to the Prefinery website at https://www.prefinery.com/ and “Your Website” refers to any websites that you will link to the Site.

1. Enrollment

To enroll in the Program, you must (1) complete the registration process and agree to the Affiliate Program Agreement at https://www.prefinery.com/affiliates; and (2) provide a valid PayPal account for receiving payment. After verification of your PayPal account by us, you may be granted access to the Program. Company reserves the right to re-evaluate your registration at any time and reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Program at any time with or without notice.

2. Eligibility / Sanctioned Nations

By participating in the Program, you warrant that you are not a resident of any country currently under sanction by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), which include: Balkans, Belarus, Burma, Cote d'Ivoire, Cuba, DR of the Congo, Iran, Iraq, Liberia (the former regime of Charles Taylor), Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. Please note that the list of sanctioned countries can change at any time; however, a current list can always be located at https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information. Participation in the Program as a resident of a sanctioned country is prohibited. You further agree to comply with applicable OFAC restrictions and to not advertise or otherwise engage in commercial activities with persons or businesses residing in countries under sanction. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction. Each Affiliate is responsible for compliance with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Pursuant to Section 1, you must have a PayPal account to participate, which is not available in all countries. Your use of PayPal will be subject to separate terms required and made available by PayPal, and will not be governed by this Agreement.

3. How to Earn Affiliate Fees

Upon acceptance into the Program, unique links will be made available to you through the Site (your “Links”). You will be able to review the Program's details and banner creatives, browse, and access other authorized marketing resources, which will be subject to the license in Section 9 and the terms of this Agreement.

Subject to the attribution standard in this Section 3, for each person that you refer to the Site using your Links that completes a transaction on the Site that results in payment to Company, you will receive 30% of the revenue generated by such person for two years after their initial transaction with Company in the form of a service fee (your “Affiliate Fee”). For example, if someone you refer is on a monthly payment plan for $249 a month, you will receive an Affiliate Fee (also referred to as a commission) for $74.70 for every month for two years that they are an active, paying customer. You will not receive an Affiliate Fee for any refunded or returned transactions. If a refund is issued after the Affiliate Fee has already been approved and paid, a negative balance will be created on your account and will be deducted from future Affiliate Fees. Any payment received by Company through Stripe from a customer will result in a valid referral created and a payable Affiliate Fee, subject to verification and approval by Company. To earn Affiliate Fees, you must comply with all terms of this Agreement, including the Program Restrictions in Section 4 and FTC disclosure requirements in Section 5.

The Affiliate Fee will go to the last Link that the person making the purchase clicked before completing their transaction, provided that such purchase occurs within 90 days of the Link being clicked. For example, if Customer A clicks on a Link provided by Affiliate X, but then clicks on a Link provided by Affiliate Y and completes a transaction on the Site, Affiliate Y will receive the full Affiliate Fee for transactions related to Customer A. Affiliate Fees will not be split or transferred. For clarity, clicks on Links are valid for 90 days, so if a customer purchase is more than 90 days after clicking the Link, you will not receive an Affiliate Fee for such transaction.

See Section 6 for information on payments, including processing, timing, and limitations.

4. Program Restrictions

Where it is not expressly clear that the Link is a paid advertisement, paid advertising, or otherwise promotional in nature, and/or that you are receiving compensation from Company in connection with the Program, you must include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog posts, social media posts, or any other content where you include a Link or otherwise advertise or endorse the Site or Company in connection with the Program. This “material connection disclosure” statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your participation in the Program. Also, any statements you make about Company must reflect your honest opinions, beliefs, or experiences and must not be false, misleading, or unsupported. You must follow these guidelines in making your material connection disclosures:

Disclosures must be made as close as possible to the claims.
Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure. (e.g. Disclosure should be visible before the jump).
Pop-up disclosures are prohibited.

For more information about FTC disclosure requirements, see the FTC's “Dot Com Disclosures” Guidelines at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf; the FTC's Endorsement Guidelines at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf; and the FTC's Native Advertising Guidelines at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/native-advertising-guide-businesses.

6. Payment of Affiliate Fees

Pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, only transactions made by the referred individual that are completed after last using your Link will result in Affiliate Fees. You will not receive Affiliate Fees for transactions that are cancelled by customers, returned, charged back, or refunded. Affiliate Fees typically take 30-60 days to process in order to account for any refunds (refunds will result in no Affiliate Fee being awarded for the applicable, refunded transactions). Affiliate Fees will be approved on or about the 1st of every month with payouts on or about the 2nd of every month (excluding holidays and weekends, which will be approved or paid on or about the next business day). For example, if you earn an Affiliate Fee on August 5th, it, along with all August Affiliate Fees, would likely be approved by October 1 and paid on October 2.

If the person that you refer pays monthly, you will receive payment of Affiliate Fees monthly. If the person that you refer pays annually, you will receive one payment of Affiliate Fees for the year, within approximately 60 days after the person pays for their annual purchase (provided the person does not obtain a refund).

We reserve the right to exclude transactions and to not pay Affiliate Fees for them, if we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, to prevent abuse of the Program, or to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. If we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, or any other terms and conditions that we publish on our website at www.prefinery.com/affiliates/terms, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. A failure to be forthcoming, responsive, or provide requested substantiation may result in your termination and removal from the Program.

You are responsible for all taxes and reporting requirements related to your Affiliate Fees.

We will track sales by customers who engage in transactions using your Link on your site to the Site. A statement of activity is available to you through your affiliate interface.

7. Audits/Records

You will maintain accurate and complete records relating to your conduct under the Program. Upon request, you will enable Company or its designated service provider to audit your records and other materials to verify your compliance with the Agreement. Company will provide notice of an audit request. In addition, you will promptly provide such records and other materials, and provide other cooperation and assistance, as requested by Company. You will promptly notify Company of any inquiry received by you from any news media, reporter, publication, trade association or governmental authority, and of any complaints or allegations of wrongdoing received by you, with regard to Company, the Program, or your conduct under this Agreement.

If we make changes, we will post the amended Agreement to www.prefinery.com/affiliates/terms and update the “Effective Date” above. We may also attempt to notify you in other ways, including via email. Unless we say otherwise, the amended Agreement will be effective immediately and your continued participation in the Program after the amended Agreement is posted will confirm your acceptance of the changes.

We have the right to monitor Your Website at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you of any changes to Your Website that must be made for your participation in the Program to continue. If you do not make the changes to Your Website that we feel are necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Program.

Either party may terminate the Agreement in its entirety, with or without cause, by giving written notice to the other party. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease all activities in connection with the Program, and you will immediately cease all use of, and remove from Your Website(s), all Links to the Site, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you (including all Licensed Materials) pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. Upon termination, you will receive no additional Affiliate Fees (which, for clarity, includes any Affiliate Fees from referrals that occurred prior to such termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will pay the Affiliate Fees currently processing as of the date of termination (e.g., within the 60 day period pursuant to Section 3). Sections 7 (Audits and Records), 8 (Modification and Termination), 10 (Representations and Warranties), 11 (Disclaimer), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14 (Dispute Resolution), 15 (Confidentiality), 16 (Miscellaneous) will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary such that the intent of the parties is effectuated, and the remainder of this Agreement will have full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
