Affiliate Agreement and Terms of Service
This Genesis Digital Affiliate Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Genesis Digital, LLC ("Genesis Digital"), and the party submitting an application to become a Genesis Digital affiliate, or having an accepted application ("affiliate" or “you”).
The terms and conditions contained in this agreement apply to your participation as an affiliate in any affiliate program ("Affiliate Program") for which the affiliate is approved by Genesis Digital.
Each affiliate program offer (an "Offer") may be for any affiliate program offered by or through Genesis Digital, including but not limited to offerings described on a specific website for a particular offer ("program website"). Each offer may have additional terms and conditions on the program website for that affiliate program. All such terms and conditions are incorporated as part of this agreement, except to the extent that they are the subject of a separate agreement required for participation as an affiliate for that program.
By submitting an application or participating as an affiliate of Genesis Digital, you expressly consent to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, and to the terms and conditions of any affiliate program in which you participate.
Application for the Genesis Digital Affiliate Program
You must submit an affiliate program application (“application”) in order to be considered for selection as a Genesis Digital affiliate. Only completed applications providing all requested information will be considered.
You must accurately complete the application. You agree and understand that you must provide us with your true identity, physical address, phone number, and other contact information, as well as business and banking information as requested. You may not use any alias, pseudonym, persona, pen name, DBA, or other means to mask your identity or business details.
You understand that you must update your application in the future if the information you have provided changes or is updated. Any false or incorrect information, or a failure to update the application, is cause for rejection of your application, or if later discovered, an immediate termination of your affiliate status without compensation.
After we review your application, we will notify you in the due course of your acceptance or rejection as an affiliate. We may accept or reject your application at our sole discretion for any reason.
By submitting an application to be considered as an affiliate, you affirm and acknowledge that you have read this agreement in its entirety, understand it, and agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement, you should not submit an application to be considered as an affiliate.
Acceptance as an Affiliate
Upon acceptance, the affiliate will be notified by email. The email may contain one or more affiliate credentials (including an affiliate username, affiliate id number, login password, affiliate URL, or the like). The acceptance email and affiliate credentials may not be shared with any person outside the affiliate’s organization.
Acceptance as a Genesis Digital affiliate does not assure your eligibility for every affiliate program or offer by Genesis Digital. You understand that Genesis Digital reserves the right at any time to limit some affiliate programs or offers to certain affiliates at its sole discretion (e.g. based on need, prior results or performance, experience, market size, compatibility of the program with the affiliate, or other criteria of Genesis Digital’s choosing).
Compensation
Genesis Digital will pay the affiliate for each customer acquired or a qualified action (the "commission") as defined below.
Earned commissions (“commissions due”) shall be paid to the affiliate monthly for commissions earned before the end of the prior month, provided:
- The refund period on the sales for which the commission applies has passed (currently 30 days after the first full billing occurs);
- Genesis Digital has received any funds due and owing from the relevant customer(s) for the current period (45 days);
- Affiliate has their tax information successfully filled out and submitted.
- Affiliate has their PayPal payment information successfully filled out, linked & enabled. Affiliates who do not have a PayPal account enabled will be removed from the program and not eligible to receive any commissions.
Affiliate understands and agrees that they do not receive any commissions on any trial period offers.
Affiliate agrees that Genesis Digital shall only be liable for payment of commissions to the extent that Genesis Digital has received all funds due and owing from the relevant customer(s) after the refund and holding periods have passed. You hereby release Genesis Digital from, and agree to hold Genesis Digital harmless for any claim for commissions otherwise due affiliate to the extent Genesis Digital has not received all such funds from the relevant customer(s).
For purposes herein “customer acquired” means a sale of a product or service in accordance with this agreement, and the specific terms and conditions of any Genesis Digital affiliate program or offer.
For purposes herein “customer” means the recipient of a sale of a product or service in accordance with this agreement, and the specific terms and conditions of any Genesis Digital affiliate program or offer.
For purposes herein a "qualified action" means an action taken by an individual, natural person (“human”) who fulfills the criteria set forth in a Genesis Digital affiliate program or offer where such actions are the result of sales or marketing or advertising activity of the affiliate in accordance with this agreement, and the specific terms and conditions of the program or offer.
For the sake of clarity and in addition to any specific terms or conditions set forth in a specific program or offer, a qualified action occurs when the person:
- Accesses a program website or other URL via a link, where the link is the ‘last link’ used by that individual to access the program website or URL;
- Completes all of the information required for such action within the time period set forth in the program or offer.
A qualified action herein does not include any action:
- Using the affiliate's own link to purchase the product for their personal use;
- Utilizing a computer-generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script, or other automated means;
- Involving any artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, natural person;
- Using pre-populated fields that are not a bona-fide expression of interest by an individual natural person or is solely intended to generate a commission;
- To be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified, or a duplicate, currently or as later determined by Genesis Digital; or
- In violation of any law, in violation of this agreement, or in violation of any terms of conditions of the relevant program or offer.
Genesis Digital reserves the right to change the attribution of a commission at the request of a customer. Such change shall be done within 30 days of the sale.
Chargebacks, Offsets, Holdbacks, Commission Forfeiture and Accounting
A) Right to Chargebacks
Affiliate understands and agrees that Genesis Digital has the right to chargeback affiliate’s account or otherwise adjust for any previously paid commissions due based on customers and/or qualified actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements for customers or qualified actions as set forth herein, or which were obtained contrary to the terms and conditions hereof (“chargebacks”), or whose attribution was changed at a customer's request.
B) Right to Offset
If affiliate has any outstanding balance due to Genesis Digital under this agreement or any other agreement between affiliate and Genesis Digital, affiliate expressly agrees that Genesis Digital shall have the right to offset any commissions due payable to affiliate by the amount owed Genesis Digital by affiliate (“offsets”) (whether or not related to an affiliate program) at any time under this agreement. Genesis Digital agrees to provide an accounting of any offsets made based on this section, including the source and amounts of such offsets, in a statement provided to the affiliate hereunder.
C) Right to Holdback
Affiliate understands and agrees that Genesis Digital will hold commissions for a period of 45 days after the sale to ensure the ability to offset.
D)Commission Forfeiture
Commissions which remain due to Affiliate for a period of more than 180 days shall become the property of Genesis Digital without further notice to Affiliate. After this period Affiliate will have no right to, or interest in these Commissions. If an Affiliate is terminated for inactivity, any Commissions generated after their termination which would otherwise be attributed to Affiliate, shall be the property of Genesis Digital. Any funds returned to Affiliate from any third party after this Agreement is terminated shall be the property of Genesis Digital.
E)Accounting and Disputes
Genesis Digital shall provide a periodic invoice (monthly, unless otherwise specifically stated) on behalf of affiliate for all commissions earned under this agreement and shall remit any commissions due to affiliate in accordance with the provisions hereof, subject to any chargebacks, offsets, and/or holdbacks. Determinations of affiliate’s earned commissions, based on customers or qualified actions shall be made by Genesis Digital in its sole discretion, based on available data including cookies, tracking data, affiliate links, or the like. If affiliate agrees with the amounts set forth in the invoice or does not timely dispute the invoice within thirty (30) days, as provided for below, then affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims for the period of time covered by that invoice.
In the event that affiliate intends, in good faith, to dispute any portion of an invoice, affiliate must submit that dispute to Genesis Digital in writing within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice (“dispute”). Each dispute shall be set forth in its own accounting, and the basis for affiliate’s accounting or for other disagreements with regard to the invoice, in sufficient detail for Genesis Digital to conduct a review. Affiliate shall include with each dispute submitted any supporting evidence including affiliate’s own tracking data with respect to customers or qualified actions. If Genesis Digital’s and affiliate's accounting vary by more than 10% and Genesis Digital reasonably determines that affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track customers or qualified actions, then Genesis Digital and affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then Genesis Digital's accounting of the dispute shall govern.
Confidentiality
Affiliate agrees that all information, data, and strategies in connection with the Genesis Digital affiliate program and any offers in connection therewith are confidential, unless otherwise expressly provided in this agreement or agreed in writing signed by Genesis Digital. For purposes herein “confidential information” includes, but is not limited to all Genesis Digital business information, financial information, customer lists, vendor lists, pricing and sales information, customer or affiliate reviews, complaints, service or support issues, complaints, or as well as all information concerning Genesis Digital or any of our affiliates provided by or on behalf of any of them. “confidential information” does not include information that is generally known or available to the public in its entirety, or obtained through a third party who has independently discovered or developed such information and is under no duty not to disclose it.
Affiliate agrees to hold all confidential information strictly confidential and/or secret and to use its best efforts not to directly or indirectly disclose or reveal the confidential information to any third party. In no case shall affiliate’s efforts fall below industry-accepted standards for confidentiality, or be less than a reasonable business person would use to protect confidential information of similar value and importance.
Affiliate agrees not to use the confidential information, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than for participation in the affiliate program. Affiliate shall not, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any person, use any information obtained in connection with the Genesis Digital affiliate program, including but not limited to confidential information, to create, develop, improve, or provide, any product or service that competes with the affiliate program.

Terms and Conditions for Affiliate Advertising and Marketing; Miscellaneous Advertising Provisions
Affiliate shall not make any representations or other statements concerning Genesis Digital or any Genesis Digital product or service, except as expressly authorized herein, or under a program or offer.
Affiliate acknowledges that Genesis Digital retains all rights in any program website or related material, including domain names. Affiliate’s media may not copy or substantially or confusingly resemble the look and feel of the program website or create the impression that your media is endorsed to any extent by Genesis Digital or constitutes an official part or extension of the program website, without prior written permission from Genesis Digital. Affiliates should consider Genesis Digital and its trademarks and service marks when securing domain names. Affiliates should obtain permission in writing if there is any question as to whether a particular domain name may infringe Genesis Digital’s rights, or may be construed as an implied endorsement. Do not jeopardize your status as an affiliate!
Affiliate shall prominently post and make available to end-users, an appropriate privacy policy that complies with all applicable local, state, and federal requirements. The privacy policy shall be made available to the end-user prior to the collection of any personally identifiable information, and shall clearly and thoroughly disclose all information collection, use, and sharing practices, including providing for the collection of such personally identifiable information in connection with the affiliate program and the provision of such personally identifiable information to Genesis Digital for use as intended by Genesis Digital.
Affiliates shall also prominently post and make available to end-users any terms and conditions consistent with those in the offer as set forth by Genesis Digital, or as required by applicable laws regarding such offers.
Affiliate shall not place ads related to any Genesis Digital products or services on any online auction platform (I.E. eBay, Amazon, etc). Creatives may not appear to be associated with or be positioned in/on chat rooms or bulletin boards unless otherwise agreed by Genesis Digital in writing.
Affiliate at all times has sole responsibility for the development, operation, maintenance of, and distribution of all content on or linked to, your media.
Affiliate must comply with:
- All obligations, requirements, and restrictions under this agreement and applicable laws, regulations, and rules controlling your business, your media or your use of the creatives, and
- The terms, conditions, guidelines, and policies of any third-party services used by the affiliate in connection with the affiliate program, including but not limited to, email providers, video services, social networking services, and advertising networks.

Term and Termination
This agreement shall commence on the date Genesis Digital notifies you of its approval of your application and shall continue thereafter until terminated as provided herein.
Your termination is effective upon notifying Genesis Digital in writing. You should remove all creatives from your media, and delete all copies of the creatives. Your license to use the creatives and other rights terminate upon termination of this agreement.
Genesis Digital may terminate this agreement in full (“termination”) or in part (i.e., solely with respect to your participation as an affiliate in one or more programs or offers) (“termination-in-part”) at any time and for any reason, at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice to you.
Upon termination the following will be disabled: any affiliate-specific aspects of the creatives, affiliate-specific tracking devices, links, cookies, pixels, or the like and your affiliate access to a program website or creatives for such program will be blocked.
For the sake of clarity, Genesis Digital’s termination of this agreement ends your affiliate status for all programs and offers. Termination-in-part and/or refusal to include you as an affiliate for any specific programs or offers does not automatically terminate this agreement with respect to other programs or offers. Termination-in-part of your status as an affiliate for one or more programs or offers will only impact your rights with respect to the program(s) and/or offer(s) you are not eligible to be an affiliate for.
An Affiliate who fails to make a new sale to a unique customer for 365 consecutive days shall be deemed “Inactive” at which time Genesis Digital shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and any unpaid commissions will be forfeited.
Upon termination of your affiliate status for any reason, you will immediately cease all use of creatives, and all Genesis Digital intellectual property, and will delete all copies of any creatives and any materials which embody confidential information without retaining a copy. You must cease representing yourself as a Genesis Digital affiliate for such one or more offers. Upon termination-in-part, the foregoing provisions apply only with respect to the programs or offers for which your affiliate status has been terminated.
Affiliate’s rights to validly accrued payments, causes of action and any provisions, which by their terms are intended to survive termination, shall survive termination or termination-in-part.
Remedies for Material Breaches
In addition to any other rights and remedies available under this agreement, Genesis Digital reserves the right to disregard any actions obtained through the affiliate’s efforts and to deny, withhold, and/or freeze any unpaid commissions due, and/or chargeback any and all amounts paid to your account if:
- Genesis Digital determines that you have violated this agreement in a manner that constitutes a material breach including by unfairly gaining an advantage over other affiliates, or by misleading or confusing or potentially misleading or confusing any customer or potential customer with respect to any program or offer;
- Genesis Digital receives any complaints about your participation in the affiliate program which Genesis Digital reasonably believes to violate this agreement in a way that constitutes a material breach or which unfairly provided an advantage to you, or resulted in payments hereunder that are contrary to the terms and conditions herein, or that are specific to any program or offer;
- Any payments made to you hereunder are later determined to have been the result of advertising or actions that did not meet the requirements set forth in this agreement or on the affiliate program or offer; or
- Genesis Digital recognizes a pattern of “trial abuse” stemming from signing up for a trial period, canceling before the full amount is billed, and then repeating this process multiple times.
Such withholding or freezing of commissions due, or chargebacks for payments made, maybe without regard as to whether or not such commissions were earned directly or indirectly as a result of such breach. In the event of a material breach of this agreement, Genesis Digital reserves the right to disclose your identity and contact information to appropriate law enforcement or regulatory authorities it deems useful or any third party that has been or claims to have been damaged by your actions.
Anti-Spam Policy
Affiliate must strictly comply with the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (the "Act"). All emails sent in connection with the affiliate program must include a compliant and functioning opt-out link. Genesis Digital reserves the right to pre-approve all email communications with respect to the programs or offers. Affiliate may at any time request pre-approval of a mailing piece. From time to time, Genesis Digital may request, and you agree to promptly provide a copy of the final version of any email(s) before sending the same to third parties. Upon receipt, Genesis Digital will in a reasonable time review the email(s) and notify you of its approval or rejection. Upon receiving written approval of your email from Genesis Digital the email may be transmitted to third parties.
You understand and agree not to rely upon Genesis Digital's approval of your email for compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, or assert any claim that you are in compliance with the act based upon Genesis Digital's approval of your email. It is and remains solely your obligation to ensure that each email you send as an affiliate complies with the requirements of the act.
Fraud, Fraudulent, Misleading, or Confusing Practices
Affiliates are expressly prohibited from using any persons, means, devices, or arrangements to commit actual fraud, violate any applicable law, interfere with other affiliates or falsify information in connection with referrals through the creatives or the generation of earned commissions, or overstep or exceed your rights in any way as an affiliate. Also prohibited are fraudulent practices, misleading tactics, or tactics intended to or causing confusion. The foregoing prohibitions include, but are not limited to, using automation to distort results or appearances including clicks (examples: automated means to increase the number of clicks, or completion of any required information) with or without the use of the creatives, using spyware, malware, using steal-ware, cookie-stuffing, and other deceptive acts, and any form of click-fraud. Genesis Digital shall make all determinations about fraud, fraudulent activity, and misleading or confusing practices and tactics at its sole discretion, and such a decision shall be final.
Indemnification
Affiliate hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Genesis Digital and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners and licensors, directors, officers, employees, owners and agents against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising from, based on, or in connection with:
