Partner will bear all costs and expenses related to Partner’s marketing or promotion of BYOB Social, BYOB Agency or Partner’s products or services associated with Partner’s participation in the Partner Program (collectively, “Partner Marketing Activities”) in any area, location, territory or jurisdiction, unless otherwise determined by BYOB Agency in its sole discretion.

In no event will Partner engage in any Partner Marketing Activities except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. In conducting all Partner Marketing Activities, Partner will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and directives, including but not limited to those relating to email marketing and “spamming”.

Without limiting the generality of Section 1.1.2, Partner will (i) not send any email regarding BYOB Agency or BYOB Social to any individual or entity that has not requested such information; (ii) always include Partner’s contact information and “unsubscribe” information in any email regarding BYOB Agency or BYOB Social; and (iii) not imply that such emails are being sent on behalf of BYOB Agency.

A Partner will not (i) engage in any fax, broadcast, telemarketing or any other offline marketing methods with respect to BYOB Agency; (ii) use malware, spyware or any other aggressive advertising or marketing methods in any of its dealings relating to BYOB Agency; (iii) make any false, misleading or disparaging representations or statements with respect to BYOB Agency; (iv) solicit any of BYOB Agency's customers to leave BYOB Agency; (v) copy, resemble or mirror the look and feel of BYOB Agency's websites, BYOB Agency Trademarks (as defined below) or BYOB Agency’s services or otherwise misrepresent Partner’s affiliation with BYOB Agency; or (vi) engage in any other practices that may adversely affect the credibility or reputation of BYOB Agency, including but not limited to, sending email communications or using any website in any manner, or having any content on any website, that (a) uses aggressive or low-quality marketing, including marketing services that are unrelated to BYOB Agency or the Partner’s services; (b) promotes sexually explicit materials, violence, discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age, or any illegal or objectionable activities; or (c) violates any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party; or (d) otherwise violates BYOB Agency’s Policies, including but not limited to our Acceptable Use Policy.

Anything Partner communicates in marketing or advertising any BYOB Agency product, service or opportunity must be true and accurate. Claims that relate to any BYOB Agency product, service or opportunity that are untrue or fraudulent are strictly prohibited. Partner may not claim that any government, person, or entity endorses or supports BYOB Agency. Partner may not use the intellectual property of any other person or entity in advertising any BYOB Agency product, service or opportunity.

1.2. Compliance with Laws

In addition to, and without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, Partner will perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the highest applicable industry standards and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

1.3 Unauthorized and Prohibited Activities

Partner will not promote or advertise BYOB Social on coupon, deal, or discount sites or on GTP/Get Paid to Click or other incentivized sites, or display any offer code on a public-facing page or through the use of a “click to display” offer code.

Partner will not use its links directly in any pay-per-click advertising;

Partner will not purchase search engine or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google AdWords), trademarks or domain names that use the BYOB Social Trademarks (as defined below) or any variations or misspellings thereof that may be deceptively or confusingly similar to the BYOB Social Trademarks.

Partner will not create or participate in any third party networks or sub-affiliate networks without the express written permission of BYOB Agency.

Partner will not mask its referral sites or use deceptive redirecting links.

Partner will not disparage the products or services of any other person or entity, including without limitation the products or services of a competitor of BYOB Agency, any other customer or partner of BYOB Agency, or BYOB Agency itself.

1.4. FTC Guidelines

The Federal Trade Commission in the United States (“FTC”) has guidelines for governing endorsements and testimonials. These rules are aimed at increasing transparency between endorsers and consumers. As a member of the Partner Program with BYOB Agency, Partner receives compensation for referrals made to BYOB Agency. This may establish a “material connection” according to FTC rules, which creates an obligation for Partner to provide disclosure to consumers.

Full compliance with these guidelines requires, among other things, that (a) Partner clearly and conspicuously disclose that Partner is being compensated for referring customers to BYOB Agency; and (b) Partner is not engaged in misleading or deceptive advertising. For further information Partner should refer to the statement released by the FTC regarding these guidelines.

1.5. Other Partner Terms

Partner must have an active BYOB Social customer account.  

Partner must have an active PayPal account in which to receive payment of any Referral Fees. This is the ONLY method in which BYOB Agency will pay You the Referral Fees. If you do not currently have a PayPal account, you can sign up here https://www.paypal.com/us/home. 

If the Partner is an individual, You must be the older of (i) 18 years; or (ii) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where You reside and from where You carry out Partner activities.

You confirm that You are becoming a Partner for the purposes of carrying on a business activity and not for any personal, household or family purpose. 

To become a Partner, Partner must create a Partner Account by providing all information indicated as required. BYOB Agency may reject an application for a Partner Account for any reason, in its sole discretion. Partner acknowledges that BYOB Agency will use the email address provided by Partner as the primary method for communication. Partner is responsible for keeping its Partner Account password secure. BYOB Agency cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Partner’s failure to maintain the security of the Partner Account and password.

Partner acknowledges and agrees that Partner will be responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether it sublicenses or subcontracts any such obligations to any third party, including but not limited to any affiliates or subsidiaries of Partner.

Partner will promptly inform BYOB Agency of any information known to Partner that could reasonably lead to a claim, demand or liability of or against BYOB Agency by any third party.

Partner acknowledges and agrees that BYOB Agency may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the relevant amended and restated Partner Program Agreement on BYOB Social’s website, available at https://www.thetimetogrow.com/byob-social-terms-and-conditions and such amendments to the Agreement are effective as of the date of posting. If a significant change is made, BYOB Agency will provide reasonable notice by email. Partner’s continued participation in the BYOB Agency Partner Program after the amended Partner Program Agreement is posted to BYOB Agency’s website constitutes Partner’s agreement to, and acceptance of, the amended Agreement. If Partner does not agree to any changes to the Agreement, Partner must terminate the Agreement by discontinuing its participation in the BYOB Agency Partner Program.

Partner acknowledges and agrees that Partner’s participation in the BYOB Agency and BYOB Social Partner Program, including information transmitted to or stored by BYOB Agency, is governed by the BYOB Agency Policies found at https://www.thetimetogrow.com/byob-social-terms-and-conditions.

If Partner’s recruiting efforts include claims related to the potential income a BYOB Social customer can make, or if You make reference to income You have made, or if You make reference to any lifestyle opportunities You have because of BYOB Social, the following guidelines must be adhered to: (a) Your statements must be completely true and accurate and supported by evidence; (b) if You use a hypothetical scenario, You must clearly label it as a hypothetical scenario. 

Upon acceptance into the Partner Program, You will be assigned one or more unique Partner URLs that You will use to advertise BYOB Social. When another person (a “Prospect”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Prospect’s browser. When the Prospect creates a BYOB Social account by using Your Partner URL, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.” In the event that a Prospect has multiple Partner Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Partner is credited with a Sale. If the client upgrades their account or adds additional features at a later date, this will not be eligible for a partner commission. Additionally if a client cancels their account or does not make their payment and is cancelled from BYOB Social, you will not receive a commission for this client if they sign up again at a later date (not using your partner link).

Subject to Partner’s compliance with this Agreement, You will be entitled to a referral fee for each Sold Account that generates a payment to BYOB Social monthly. The referral fee amount is 20% of all fees received by BYOB Social for a Sold Account (the “Referral Fees”). Payments of any Referral Fees will be made on the 30th of each month following BYOB Social's receipt of such payments. In the event that you do not receive a referral fee on the 30th of each month, please email: support@byobsocialposting.com so additional support can be provided.

Referral Fees are paid only for transactions that actually occur between BYOB Social and a Prospect. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale is not actually received by BYOB Social, You will not be paid a Referral Fee on the transaction. If a referral does not link or attach to Your Partner account from such referral’s subscribing to BYOB Social’s services, such referral will not be deemed Your Sold Account and You will not be entitled to any Referral Fees from such referral. In order for an account to be linked to your Partner account, a referral must either use your affiliate link directly.

If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a Referral Fee was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then the applicable Referral Fee will be deducted from any future Referral Fees. If BYOB Social determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, in addition to BYOB Social’s rights under Section 3.1, no Referral Fees will be paid to You for such Sale, or if such violation or fraud is discovered by BYOB Social after payment, such amounts shall be deducted from any future Referral Fees. A referral may request at any time to be removed from Your Partner Account and upon such request, You will no longer be entitled to receive any Referral Fees for such referral.

No Referral Fees will be paid on any Sold Account that is an affiliated business of the applicable Partner.

Prospects that are referred to BYOB Social through a customer account that is not a participant in the Partner Program will not be eligible for a referral fee. In order to be eligible for a referral fee, you must be a current member of BYOB Social and you must be signed up as a BYOB Social Partner.

2.2. Partner Representations; Taxes

Partner hereby represents and warrants to Company that You are engaged in an independent business enterprise, and that You have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate Partner's business, if any, such as licensing, tax and other business operation requirements.

You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including without limitation income tax liabilities that arise from or in any way relate to any Referral Fees You receive from BYOB Social. If You are not a resident of the United States, BYOB Social may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required to by applicable law. Where BYOB Social is required to withhold tax, BYOB Social will document such withholding.

2.3. Inventory Loading/Rebates

Partner will not be paid any Referral Fees for payments made on Your own User Account(s). Partner is not permitted to open a BYOB Social account under the name of another person or entity, or under a fictitious name. Partner is not permitted to open a BYOB Social account under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Referral Fees or any other compensation, including without limitation incentives or prizes that may be offered from time to time. Partner may not pay for another person’s account. Partner is not permitted to refer itself or any affiliated business. Partner is not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to actual or potential Sales. Violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and You agree to repay to BYOB Social all Referral Fees earned as a result of any such violation.

‍3. Termination

3.1. Termination

Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon notice to another Party.

Fraudulent or other unacceptable behavior by Partner, including breach of this Agreement or any BYOB Social Policies, as determined by BYOB Social in its sole discretion, may result in one or more of the following actions being taken by BYOB Social: (a) termination of Your affiliation with BYOB Social in its entirety and termination of all services provided to You; (b) suspension of some or all of Your privileges under the Partner Program; and/or (c) termination of Your Partner account entirely without notice to, or recourse for, You, in which case You shall forfeit all Referral Fees owed to You, either as of the date of termination or thereafter accruing.

At any time that your BYOB Social customer account is cancelled or suspended by either Party, Partner’s participation in the Partner Program shall be automatically terminated and Partner shall no longer be entitled to any further Referral Fees. You must stay current with payment on your account, in order to receive Referral Fees. If you are not current with your account (meaning if you are past due), you will not receive referral fees and risk being removed from BYOB Social as a member and from the BYOB Social Partner Program. If Partner later activates a BYOB Social customer account, Partner will be entitled to apply for participation in the Partner Program and to earn Referral Fees on any new Sold Accounts. For the purpose of clarity, Partner will forfeit all Referral Fees from its Sold Accounts prior to such termination.

3.2. Results of Termination

Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) Partner will immediately cease displaying any BYOB Social Materials (as defined below) or any BYOB Social Trademarks (as defined below) on any website or otherwise; and (b) all rights granted to Partner under this Agreement will immediately cease, including but not limited to the right of Partner to access the Partner Account and Partner Dashboard, or to receive any payments of Referral Fees under this Agreement, unless otherwise determined by BYOB Social in its sole discretion.

This Section 3.2 and the following Sections will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Section 4.5 (Proprietary Rights of BYOB Social), Section 5 (Confidentiality), Section 6 (Disclaimer of Warranty), Section 7 (Limitation of Liability and Indemnification), and Section 8 (General Provisions).
