Spots Initiatives Referral Agreement + Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Referral Agreement") govern the Referral Program that is made available by Spots Initiatives. ("Spots Initiatives", "we" or "us"). These Terms of Service represent the whole Referral Agreement and understanding between Spots Initiatives and the individual or entity who participates in the Referral Program (the "Spots Promoter", or "you").

By creating your Referral Program account as a Spots Promoter, and by your use of the Referral Program, you agree to comply with all of the Terms of Service set out in this Referral Agreement. Spots Initiatives may terminate your Spots Promoter Account at any time, for conduct that is in breach of this Agreement, and for conduct that Spots Initiatives believes is harmful to its business, or for conduct where the use of the Referral Program is harmful to any other party.

1. Spots Promoter Tracking

Spots Initiatives will provide all Spots Promoter's with specific Spots Promoter Tracking Links to run traffic and other marketing content. Cookie tracking duration is unique to each Spots Promoter Campaign. Only users who make a purchase while the cookie is active will be considered commissionable referrals of the Spots Promoter and recorded as such in the Spots Promoter Dashboard.

Spots Promoter's are not authorized to modify or alter their Spots Promoter Tracking Links or the cookies in any way. Spots Initiatives is not responsible for any tracking or reporting errors that may result from any modifications to the Spots Promoter Tracking Links or the cookies.

2. Coupon Discounts

Certain campaigns may include a unique Spots Promoter promotion coupon. Coupon details are outlined in each Spots Promoter's Dashboard.

3. Payout Requirements & Details

A commissionable referral (or any other campaign-specific reward) will become eligible for payout at the end of the next calendar month if it meets all of these criteria:

  • The commissionable referral makes a purchase of a new Standard, VIP, or Charity / Nonprofit Vendor Account Monthly Subscription.
  • The Spots Promoter's account remains active and in good standing.
  • The Spots Initiative Vendor's account has not had any of its payments refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed.
  • The commission has been generated on the website specifically offered to the Spots Promoter for promotion.

Failure to meet any of these criteria will void the commissionable referral and disqualify it from any potential payouts.

All commissionable referral payments will be payable in United States Dollars only. Payment will be made via ACH, based on the total commission owed in the Spots Promoter Dashboard. The Spots Promoter is responsible for providing Spots Initiatives with the full and accurate details, and is solely responsible for any delays in payment resulting from its failure to do so.
