PARTNER PROGRAM TERMS

CARMOUNT may offer you an opportunity to become an independent CARMOUNT Partner (“Partner”), wherein you have the opportunity to earn additional money from CARMOUNT products. CARMOUNT reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine the amount of remuneration each partner will receive in exchange for the Partner’s efforts.  Partner program commission is further discussed herein. See also CARMOUNT Terms of Service, which apply to you in your role as a Partner, unless otherwise expressly provided for.  

This Partner Program Agreement (“Agreement”) governs Your application for, and any subsequent participation in, CARMOUNT’ Partner program. By clicking “I Accept the Terms and Conditions” and submit, You thereby accept the terms of this Agreement, You indicate that You have read and understood this Agreement, and agree that You are bound by its terms.

SECTION 1 – PARTIES 

‍All references to “CARMOUNT” herein means and refers to Blinksy LTD, doing business as CARMOUNT.  All references to “You” and “Your” mean and refer to the person or entity who has executed this Agreement.  CARMOUNT and You are each referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.” You agree to notify us in writing if the legal name of your business or account ownership changes within twenty-four (24) hours of such change and You certify that all such information is truthful and accurate. Notice of such changes should be sent to partners@carmount.com

SECTION 2 – APPLICATION

‍You agree to provide all information requested by CARMOUNT in connection with Your Partner Program application, and You affirm that all information that You provide is truthful and accurate. You understand and agree that CARMOUNT retains sole and exclusive discretion to determine whether You qualify for participation in CARMOUNT’ Partner program. Not everyone who applies for CARMOUNT’s partner program will qualify to participate. The application to become a Partner can be found here: https://carmount.com/partner-program-registration/

SECTION 3 – CONSENT TO BE CONTACTED‍

You expressly consent to be contacted at the email address and social media You provide in Your application about Your application and the Partner program, including through automated dialing systems, texts and artificial or pre-recorded messages. This consent is a material condition of this Agreement and may not be revoked except in writing by both Parties.

SECTION 4 – COMPENSATION‍

If Your application to become a Partner is approved by CARMOUNT, You will receive a unique partner ID. The Partner ID will be incorporated within each URL which You will use to advertise CARMOUNT. You will have the opportunity to receive a commission for each sale (“Sale”) that is registered using Your Partner ID.

If a prospect (“Prospect”) has multiple Partner cookies (“Cookies”), the first acquired Cookie will determine which Partner is credited with a Sale.

Provided that the Sold Account (as defined below) remains in good status within thirty (30) days from the Sale, You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to CARMOUNT in a month (“Commission”). Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid in the first week of each month following CARMOUNT’ receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by CARMOUNT, less sales taxes.

You will earn 30% commissions for every purchase made by your referral.

All Commissions are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD) or otherwise in currencies offered by the payment provider.  Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions payment. Your Commission must equal or exceed Twenty Five Dollars ($50.00) (USD) before You receive a payment from CARMOUNT.

Once a Commission of $50 (USD) or more is earned, You will need to register with our third-party payment provider, PayPal.com, to receive payment of Commissions. This means You are authorizing third party companies to contact You. Before You can be paid any Commission, You must provide PayPal account username. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with, the applicable governing body(ies).

Non Commissionable Behavior

Partners will not be paid any Commissions for payments made on Partner’s own user account(s). Partners are not permitted to open a CARMOUNT account under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Commissions.  Partners may not pay for another person’s or entity’s account. Partners are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain sales.

Commissions are paid only for transactions that actually occur between CARMOUNT and a Sale in which payment is received by CARMOUNT.  If payment for an order later results in a refund or chargeback, and if a Commission was paid to You for that order, then the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commissions.

If it is found that a sale came from paid traffic on search engines including Google or Bing targeting CARMOUNT’ branded and trademarked keywords, Partner will be in violation of this agreement and commissions will NOT be paid and Partner’s link will be banned, making it no longer possible for Partner to track referrals and receive commissions.

If you are running search ads on Google or Bing, set negative keywords for “carmount”, “Car mount”, “carmount.com”.

If it is found that the traffic sent to the CARMOUNT website is bot traffic or malicious in behavior, Partner will be in violation of this agreement and commissions will NOT be paid and Partner’s link will be banned, making it no longer possible for Partner to track referrals and receive commissions. This traffic is recognized by server errors or high traffic with extremely low conversion rates, often sent from bad ad networks or purchased email lists.

If it is found that Partner is emailing purchased lists or people who have not opted-in to be contacted, or sending direct messages to people on social media soliciting CARMOUNT without the person’s consent, Partner will be in violation of this agreement and commissions will NOT be paid and Partner’s link will be banned, making it no longer possible for Partner to track referrals and receive commissions.

If CARMOUNT determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be paid for such Sale, and for past sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future Commissions, and CARMOUNT may terminate this Agreement immediately without CARMOUNT having any liability to You.

SECTION 5 – TERM AND TERMINATION 

‍The term of this Agreement will begin the earlier of (i) when You click “I accept the Terms and Conditions” and submit; or (ii) Your participation in the Partner program is approved. Your participation in the CARMOUNT Partner program will continue month-to-month until terminated. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other Party written notice of termination. If, in our sole discretion, You fail, or we suspect that You have failed, to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement or the Terms of Service, or violated any law, whether in connection with Your use of CARMOUNT or otherwise, we may terminate the Agreement or suspend Your access to the Partner website (“Website”) at any time without notice to You. If it is found you are running ads for branded keywords on Google or Bing, including CARMOUNT, Carmount.com, you are in violation of this agreement and we may terminate your account and not pay commissions on sales. In addition, if, based on our data, you have a dispute rate greater than 10%, we may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Website at any time without notice to You. In such instances, and in our sole discretion, we may also for the aforementioned reasons, terminate our relationship and suspend any accounts owned/controlled by You. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation for purposes of the foregoing, any violation of the required disclosure will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. See Appendix A, Section 2, Disclosure. In the event this Agreement is canceled due to Your breach, You immediately forfeit all Commissions, Bonuses, and any other payments owed to You or that may in the future be owed to You without any further liability by CARMOUNT to You. This Agreement will terminate automatically if You earn no (zero) Commissions over a 6 month period.

If this Agreement is terminated or canceled, then all provisions that, by their nature, should survive, will survive, including, but not necessarily limited to, all limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, indemnity obligations, mandatory arbitration, and class action waiver provisions, and exceptions to arbitration.  All representations and warranties undertaken by You shall also survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement and/or Your CARMOUNT account.

SECTION 6 – ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In addition to Your other representations and warranties herein, You further represent and warrant that there are no prior or pending government investigations or inquiries of, or prosecutions against You by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), any other federal or state governmental agency, or any industry regulatory authority, anywhere in the world, nor any prior or pending private lawsuits against You which relate to alleged intentional torts or alleged violation of any consumer protection or advertising laws.  If You become the subject of such an investigation, inquiry, prosecution, or lawsuit any time after this Agreement is executed, You are required to notify CARMOUNT of the same within 24 hours. CARMOUNT, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may immediately terminate Your participation in CARMOUNT’s Partner program, as well as immediately terminate this Agreement, based on any investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit identified pursuant to this paragraph.
