PurpleBiz.net’s Affiliates Program offers eligible affiliates, including blogs and other third party websites (“Affiliates”), the opportunity to earn commissions on qualifying sales that originate from links to PurpleBiz.net’s websites on an Affiliate’s site. This Affiliates Policy explains your rights and responsibilities when participating in PurpleBiz.net’s Affiliates Program.
This policy is a part of our Terms of Use. By participating in PurpleBiz.net’s Affiliates Program, you’re agreeing to this policy and our Terms of Use.
1. Eligibility and Enrollment in PurpleBiz.net’s Affiliates Program
Prospective affiliates must apply and be approved by PurpleBiz.net in order to gain access to the Affiliates Program.
Prospective affiliates are evaluated based on criteria such as type of site, site quality, site content, variety of site content and items promoted, brand identity, and alignment with PurpleBiz.net’s values. During the application process, prospective affiliates may be asked to share additional information about any of the listed criteria.
PurpleBiz.net sellers are eligible for the Affiliates Program. To be eligible for our Affiliates Program, you must:
PurpleBiz.net’s Affiliate team can be reached at affiliates@PurpleBiz.net.
The following types of websites are prohibited from participating in the Affiliates Program:
Affiliates are required to follow PurpleBiz.net’s Trademark Policy on websites, social media posts, and advertisements. Any Affiliate in violation of this policy may be removed from the program.
Prospective affiliates must apply and approved affiliates must enroll directly through the Affiliates Program platform. PurpleBiz.net may contact Affiliates directly with essential program updates. If you no longer consent to be contacted or wish to leave the program, you must send an email to affiliates@PurpleBiz.net. PurpleBiz.net reserves the right to remove Affiliates from the Affiliates Program and refuse service to anyone, for any reason, at any time.
Participation in the Affiliates Program may be limited to affiliates located in certain countries and is void where prohibited by law. PurpleBiz.net reserves the right to approve or reject any application to join the Affiliates Program for any reason.
Depending on where an affiliate is located, they may be subject to varying regulations regarding endorsements and testimonials. For example, in the United States, the Federal Trade Commission outlines specific requirements regarding disclosure. It is the affiliate's responsibility to know and follow any applicable regulations that apply to their site. PurpleBiz.net is unable to provide legal advice; we urge you to speak to a legal expert if you believe these or other regulations may apply to you.
2. Commission Rates, Qualifying Sales and Payment
As an affiliate, you can receive commissions for qualifying sales. Commission rates are determined on a case by case basis and may vary based on a variety of factors such as amount and number of monthly sales. For current commission rates, you must refer to your affiliate profile.
Qualifying sales are sales made on PurpleBiz.net by users that arrived on the PurpleBiz.net site by clicking an approved link on an Affiliate’s site (an “Affiliate Link”) and pay by credit or debit card. Affiliate links, including URLs and banners or other creative assets, can be found on the Affiliates Program platform.
The Affiliates Program platform uses browser cookies to verify qualifying sales. Commissions are paid on qualifying sales after the trial period. This means that an Affiliate can receive a commission for a qualifying sale if the sale was made within fourteen days for monthly subscriptions and thirty days for annual payment subscriptions of the user clicking the Affiliate Link, as long as the Affiliate was the last referrer. If a user clicks multiple Affiliate Links, the last Affiliate Link to be clicked prior to a qualifying sale will receive the commission. If the user’s last click prior to making the purchase was a paid channel, such as Google PPC, the purchase will not be a qualifying sale and an Affiliate will not receive a commission.
Commissions are calculated by multiplying the relevant commission rate and the price of the qualifying sales (excluding banking costs and taxes). Commissions are not paid on sales that are canceled.
Commissions are subject to review and other limitations for fraudulent activity. PurpleBiz.net reserves the right to withhold commissions if fraudulent activity is found.
3. Program Restrictions
Affiliates that violate any of the following program restrictions may be suspended or removed from the Affiliates Program and may not receive commissions, in PurpleBiz.net’s sole discretion:
Affiliates may only post affiliate links on social media feeds they operate in line with their website URLs, such as Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. When posting content outside of PurpleBiz.net, it is the Affiliate’s responsibility to follow each site’s policies on affiliate links.
You are solely responsible for your site, including its development, operation, and maintenance, and all materials that appear on or within it. PurpleBiz.net disclaims all liability for your site, for your social media content, and for any of your users’ claims relating to your site, and you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold PurpleBiz.net harmless from and against all claims relating to your site.
