Roofle Affiliate Marketing Agreement

1. The Agreement

Roofle provides construction services and products.  “Roofle,” “we,” or “us” refers to Roofle Inc. and any other corporate entities under common ownership with Roofle Inc. (“Related Entities”).

 

Any person or entity that participates or attempts to participate in our affiliate marketing program (the “Affiliate Program” and such person or entity, “you”, or an “Affiliate”) must accept this Affiliate Marketing Agreement (“Agreement”) without change.  By applying for the Affiliate Program, you agree to this Agreement.  The Agreement is a legal document between you and the Company that describes the affiliate relationship we are entering into. This Agreement covers your responsibilities as an affiliate and our responsibilities to you. Please ensure you read and understand the entirety of this document, as well as have a lawyer's assistance if you desire, because each of the terms of this Agreement are important to our working relationship.

2. Affiliate Program Application

In order to sign up for our Affiliate Program, you will first be asked to submit an Affiliate Application to join. The Affiliate Application may be found at the following website: roofle.com/affiliates.

 

Submitting an Affiliate Application does not guarantee inclusion in the Affiliate Program. We evaluate each and every application and are the sole and exclusive decision-makers on Affiliate acceptance. If we choose not to allow your inclusion in the Affiliate Program, we will attempt to notify you in a reasonable manner. If you do not hear from us within a reasonable time frame, please consider your application rejected. We are not obligated to provide you any explanation for your rejection, but please be advised we may reject applicants for any reason or manner, including but not limited to a website or social media page which violates this Agreement.

 

If your Affiliate Application is rejected, you may not reapply. If your Affiliate Application is accepted, each of the terms and conditions in this Agreement applies to your participation. We may also ask for additional information to complete your Affiliate Application or for you to undertake additional steps to ensure eligibility in the Affiliate Program.

3. Affiliate Program

The Affiliate Program permits you to monetize your website, social media user-generated content, or online software application (referred to here as your “Affiliate Site”), by placing on your Site links to Roofle’s website (“Roofle Site”). The links must properly use the special “tagged" link formats we provide and comply with this Agreement (“Special Links”).

 

When our customers click through the Special Links to purchase an item sold or services offered on the Roofle Site or take other actions, you can receive commission income for qualifying actions (subject to the limitations in this Section). In order to facilitate your advertisement of these items or services, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools, application program interfaces, and other information in connection with the Affiliate Program (“Program Content”). Program Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to product offerings on any site other than the Roofle Site.

 

Each time a user clicks through the Link posted on the Affiliate Site and completes the sale of the product or service and we determine it is a “Qualified Lead” or “Qualified Purchase,” as described below, you will be eligible to receive the commissions based on the Commission Schedule in place at that time.  The current Commission Schedule is attached as Schedule A.

 

We will determine whether payout is permissible in our sole and exclusive discretion. We reserve the right to reject leads and/or sales that do not comply with the terms of this Agreement.

 

As described above, in order to be eligible for payout, user leads or purchases must be Qualified Leads or Qualified Purchases. Qualified Lead and Qualified Purchases:

  • Must not be referred by any other partner or affiliate links of the Company (in other words, Qualified Purchases are only available through your specific Affiliate Link;
  • May not be referred or purchased prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program;
  • May only be referred or purchased through a properly-tracking Affiliate Link;
  • May not be referred or purchased in violation of any of our legal terms;
  • May not be fraudulent in any way, in the Company's sole and exclusive discretion;
  • May not have been induced by the Affiliate offering the customer any coupons or discounts;

 

Commission Payments will only be available when the Company has your current address information as well as accounting and tax documentation. You will be asked to submit a W8/W9 tax form. Accounting information may include the routing and account number of a bank where you wish to post a direct deposit or may include an email address for an online method of payment.

 

Currently, the Company employs the following methods of payout: Direct Deposit via Stripe

 

For any changes in your address or accounting information, you must notify us immediately and we will endeavor to make the changes to your payout information as soon as possible.

 

Payouts will be available within 5 days of the request to receive payout.

 

Payouts are only available after your first affiliate commission is earned.

 

For any disputes as to payout, the Company must be notified within thirty days of your receipt of the payout. We will review each dispute notification as well as the underlying payout transaction to which it is related. Disputes filed after thirty days of payout will not be addressed.

 

You may log into your account with us to review reports related to your affiliation, such as payout reports and Qualified Lead and/or Purchase information. Please be advised however, that not all listed Qualifying Leads and/or Purchases have been fully reviewed for accuracy in the reports viewable by you in real-time and therefore may be subject to change prior to payout.

4. Affiliate Program Compliance Requirements

You must comply with this Agreement to participate in the Affiliate Program and receive commission income.  You must promptly provide us with any information that we request to verify your compliance with this Agreement.

 

If you violate this Agreement, or if you violate terms and conditions of any other applicable Roofle marketing agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently (to the extent permitted by applicable law) cease payment of (and you agree you will not be eligible to receive) any and all commission income otherwise payable to you under this Agreement, whether or not directly related to such violation without notice and without prejudice to any right of Roofle to recover damages in excess of this amount.

5. Roofle Customers

Our customers are not, by virtue of your participation in the Affiliate Program, your customers. As between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on the Roofle Site will apply to those customers and may be changed by us at any time. You will not handle or address any contacts with any of our customers, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a matter relating to interaction with a Roofle Site, you will state that those customers must follow contact directions on that Roofle Site to address customer service issues.

6. Warranties

You represent, warrant, and covenant that (a) you will participate in the Affiliate Program and create, maintain, and operate your Site in accordance with this Agreement, (b) neither your participation in the Affiliate Program nor your creation, maintenance, or operation of your Site will violate any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, guidelines, codes of practice, industry standards, self-regulatory rules, judgments, decisions, or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you (including all such rules governing communications, data protection, advertising, and marketing), (c) you are at least eighteen (18) years old and lawfully able to enter into contracts, (d) you have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the Affiliate Program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, (e) you will not participate in the Affiliate Program or use any other Service Offerings if you are the subject of U.S. sanctions or of sanctions consistent with U.S. law imposed by the governments of the country where you are using any Service Offering; (f) you will comply with all U.S. export and re-export restrictions, and applicable non-US export and re-export restrictions consistent with U.S. law, that may apply to goods, software, technology and services, and (g) the information you provide in connection with the Affiliate Program is accurate and complete at all times.

Except for this disclosure, and other than as required by applicable law, you will not make any public communication with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Affiliate Program without our advance written permission. You will not misrepresent or embellish our relationship with you (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, or endorse you), or express or imply any affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

8. Term and Termination

The term of this Agreement will begin upon your registration for or use of the Affiliate Program. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause (automatically and without recourse to the courts, if permitted under applicable law), by giving the other party written notice of termination provided that the effective date of such termination will be 7 calendar days from the date notice is provided. You can provide termination notice by logging into your account on the Roofle Site and selecting the option to delete your account in “My Profile”.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties will be extinguished, including any and all licenses granted in connection with this Agreement, except that the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement, together with any payable but unpaid payment obligations under this Agreement, will survive the termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement will relieve either party for any liability for any breach of, or liability accruing under, this Agreement prior to termination.
