Affiliate Agreement

Affiliate Partner Registration

To register as an affiliate you must have an active V3DA hub account, that you own, and have used for 31+ days.

We review and moderate all affiliate registrations, and we appreciate your accurate and honest information. Please note that the review process may take a few days – we know you are eager to join our team of affiliates, and we appreciate your patience!

If you’re approved, awesome! You’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote V3DA hub via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for visits and referrals information, creatives, graphs and more!

See examples below:

We pay out affiliate commissions in CAD (Canadian dollars) directly to your bank account or debit card in the first week of every month. As we have a 30-day money back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days. The minimum payout balance is $100.00, so you receive a decent chunk of cash when payouts come around. And there’s no maximum payout balance, so go nuts!

In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payouts service.

We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. These are recurring referral payouts! For a limited time, early affiliate partners who join enjoy this sweet deal. In the future, we may chose to no longer offer this, meaning paying out only ONE time on each referral.*

* "Perpetuity" and "Lifetime" is defined as a maximum statute limitation of 5 years (or longer at the discretion of V3DA hub) from signing whereupon a renewal of new terms and conditions is required and/or a complete cancellation of your affiliation with V3DA hub, at the sole discretion of V3DA hub . V3DA hub reserves the right to change or cancel this arrangement at any time, existing or new accounts, in it's sole discretion without warning or consent.

Here are the details of our program in summary:

  • To register as an affiliate you must have an active V3DA hub account that you own (i.e. you may not use a client’s V3DA hub account). Registration automatically creates you a V3DA hub web site account
  • You must have held that account for 31+ days
  • You’ll receive commission for every new sale you refer and continue to as long as your referral continues to stay on V3DA hub as a paid subscriber member.
  • Minimum payout balance of $100.00, and no maximum payout (we pay in CAD)
  • Commissions older than 30 days will be paid within the first week of each month
  • Referrals are paid out to your bank account or debit card or by PayPal
  • Referrals cannot be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).

Referral cookie lifetime

When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for a generous 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase V3DA hub, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

  1. The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)
  2. The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Direct Link Tracking

We use our own Direct Link Tracking pro add-on, so you can skip the referral link (e.g. ?ref=123 or /ref/123) when you link to our site from your https:// website. You can submit a direct link to your own website in the Settings tab of your Affiliate Area. We’ll review your direct link submission, and when it’s approved you’ll no longer need to use a referral link when linking to V3DA hub.com directly from your site! Awesome!

Note: Direct Link Tracking is only available if your site has an SSL certificate, and therefore the https:// protocol. We will only approve websites that are 100% owned by you.

Refunded purchases

Referrals older than 30 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout (if the commission balance totals $100.00 or over). If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:

  1. The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
  2. The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.

Affiliate news and updates

By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive emails from V3DA hub. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the V3DA hub affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote V3DA hub. As an affiliate you may be privy to embargoed or time-sensitive information in these emails (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted). And we won’t spam you, ever – promise!

Affiliate application rejection

We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Affiliate applications for websites that sell, advertise or engage in pornography, phishing scams, spamming, illegal business practices, or that include any material infringing on National or International Copyright will be rejected.
  • Affiliate applications for websites that we do not believe are aligned with our industry or business may be rejected.
  • If you apply to become an affiliate and you have not purchased an extension license, your application may be rejected.
  • If you apply to become an affiliate and it has been less than 30 days since you purchased an extension license, your application may be rejected.
  • Affiliate applicants with websites that re-sell any of our products will be rejected.
  • Websites considered inappropriate by V3DA hub will be rejected.

Inappropriate websites:

The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.

Questions regarding your application

When you apply to become an affiliate we may email you at the email address you have supplied with some questions regarding your application. This may be because:

  • We didn’t understand something in your application, or,
  • We’d like to learn a bit more about how you will promote V3DA hub and need a little more detail.

If we reach out to you and we haven’t heard back within 7 days, your application may be rejected. If your initial application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply to become an affiliate and provide us with more detail for reconsideration.

Dormant affiliate accounts

Please don’t leave us! We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote V3DA hub to keep earning referrals. If we can help you come up with ideas on how to promote V3DA hub, please let us know – we’re here for you! An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. A dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated if no visits have been generated after 6 months. But we don’t even want to go there right now, right?! Let’s work together to help you start earning some cash!

V3DA hub Affiliate Program Policies

Allowed and super cool promotional methods

How you promote V3DA hub is reflected in the commission you earn! We encourage the use of promotional methods that add value to V3DA hub and bring us legitimate, loyal customers. We love it when our team of affiliates blog about affiliate marketing and mention V3DA hub.

Here are a few examples of awesome promotional methods to earn more commission:

  • Tell clients, customers or friends about V3DA hub, and give them your affiliate referral link
  • Write a review or a blog post about affiliate marketing or V3DA hub and link to our site with your referral link
  • Use our existing market research papers on V3DA hub. Each paper is vetted by us and cited
  • Reach out to a broad audience with your social network accounts. Tweet about us on Twitter with your affiliate referral link, post about us on Facebook with your affiliate link, or communicate to your Linkedin followers about affiliate marketing with your affiliate link. Spam-free promotion is a great way to get more referrals!
  • Provide value to others by answering related questions on other sites with helpful responses, and using your referral link in your replies.

Prohibited and super uncool promotional methods

We love and back our product 100%, and we are very careful with how it’s promoted, so we want affiliates who are 100% behind us too! The prohibited promotional methods listed below aren’t meant to scare you off – they’re here to protect you, and us, and our customers from any freaky or fraudulent activity, which is something we take pretty seriously. We know you’ll understand. 🙂 But here they are in writing just in case you’re not totally sure what is and what isn’t allowed.

  • V3DA hub may not be promoted on coupon sites
    Customers who are searching for a coupon are already in the market for V3DA hub, so this method adds no value to V3DA hub.
  • Paid advertising using your affiliate link is prohibited

Buying ads through services like Google AdWords, social ads, or retargeting ads and using our brand keywords and your affiliate link will result in affiliate account deactivation.

  • Any type of spam is prohibited
    Links, ads, emails, comments… any type of spam. Please respect the posting rules of any 3rd-party websites you use to promote V3DA hub. P.S. This is not an exhaustive list of spam methods; if we decide that your activity is spam, it’s spam.
  • Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited
    This may result in referrals being rejected and/or your affiliate account being deactivated. See above for allowed and super cool promotional methods!
  • We’re flattered, but please don’t pretend to be professionally associated with V3DA hub
    Affiliates aren’t employees of V3DA hub or Sandhills Development and have no employee rights.
  • Pretending to actually be V3DA hub is prohibited
    Cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official V3DA hub site is unethical and prohibited (this includes using services that automatically clone websites, or place them into iframes).
  • Again, false promotion to customers that you are endorsed or operated by V3DA hub is prohibited (and super uncool).

If you’re unsure or concerned that some activity you’re about to proceed with may be considered prohibited, please ask us. 🙂

Consequences of not-cool promotional methods

If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your referrals may be rejected and we may disable your affiliate account. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you in the instance that this occurs. Please use allowed promotional methods, and help us to help you succeed as an affiliate!

Inappropriate websites

The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.

V3DA hub allows an advanced feature called web site referral site. This allows you the affiliate to create/host a site to send over referrals to us (please read above feature). Hence then please do not list a major popular domain space as your referral web page i.e. Facebook. This, of course, prevents all others from using the same domain for their referral sites. The following domains are blacklisted from using this feature*:
facebook.com
google.com
linkedin.com
apple.com
amazon.com
etc.

* This doesn't mean don't create a facebook referral page. Just use your entire FB page url as your referral domain i.e. facebook.com/?page=myrefferalsite NOT just facebook.com. Make sense?
