  5. Affiliate URL
    1. You will be issued a special URL once you become an approved member of the Keda Affiliate Program which will be unique to You and You only, and will allow You to be paid for Affiliate referrals.
  6. Commission Determination
    1. Under the Affiliate Program, You will be paid a Commission Fee for each Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer that You refer to Keda under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Referred Customer and each Qualified Purchase must meet the following criteria (the “Criteria”):
      1. Commission may not be paid for a Referred Customer that has transferred from any of Our partners or subsidiaries.
      2. Each Referred Customer must make a Qualified Purchase, and provide a valid payment for the purchased Keda Products or Services. To generate a Commission Fee for You, each Referred Customer must be an active, qualified customer of Keda and must be up-to-date in all payments at the time the Commission Fees are processed and not have been subject to a refund, credit, cancellation, suspension or chargeback.
      3. Each Referred Customer must sign up in a manner, which in Our sole judgement, definitely establishes that the Referred Customer was referred directly from You to Keda under this Agreement.
      4. Each Referred Customer must remain in compliance with our Terms of Use and other policies that are active at the time the Commission Fees are processed.
      5. Commission Fees may not be paid for the Qualified Purchase if the Referred Customer has been offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate or if the Referred Customer has joined a business-opportunity program (as determined by Keda in its sole discretion) that is managed or participated in by the Affiliate, unless Keda has provided its prior written permission.
      6. If a Referred Customer has received a popup with a discounted offer, while leaving Our site during their purchase, We will NOT pay commissions on purchase.
    2. Keda reserves the right to withhold initial Commissions Fees for Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate Program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Keda in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.
    3. Keda reserves the right to suspend payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms in this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer(s). Keda reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate’s current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled Keda purchases. Where no subsequent Commission Fee is due and owing, Keda will send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of the program or termination of the Referred Customer.
    4. Keda, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withhold indefinitely any Commission Fee, and/or to reverse, deny or reject any Commission Fee, for:
      1. Any account/sale which has not been in an approved status in good standing as an account of Keda for a period of at least thirty (30) days.
      2. All commissions generated for accounts that may be fraudulent, including but not limited to the use of software that generates real and fictitious information.
      3. If we deem orders to be fraudulent or see a pattern of potentially fraudulent activity, including, without limitation, where there are multiple accounts from the same customer, or referral of accounts which do not comply with this Agreement. We review account information (including site content) to assess referrals.
      4. Altering Our Links in any way.
      5. Referred Customers that have been offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate or for Referred Customers who have joined a business opportunity program that is managed or participated in by the Affiliate, unless Keda has provided written permission.
      6. Affiliate whom We believe may be artificially submitting Referred Customers, engaging in the advertisement of business-opportunity sites (as determined by Keda in its sole discretion), using marketing practices that we deem to be unethical or likely to attract fraudulent signups and/or signups with a very low likelihood of renewal.
    5. Keda reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee based on the foregoing or that otherwise fails to meet the Criteria. It is the responsibility of the Affiliate to monitor the payment, denial and withholding of Commission Fees; Keda is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees. If an Affiliate has a question about a Commision Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, that Affiliate has 30 days from the day the payment was due to contact Keda to discuss or reclaim the Commission Fee. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly at Keda’s discretion.
    6. In the event that the Referred Customer(s) that are referred to Keda by a specific Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate (as determined by Keda in its sole discretion), Keda reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees for the Affiliate.
    7. Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualifying Purchases or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Keda or violation of any of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Keda to terminate this Agreement and will result in forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to You.
  7. Commission Fee Accrual and Payments
    1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will pay a Commission Fee equal to the specified percentage or dollar amount set forth in the Commission Report in Your Affiliate Platform on a Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer which occurs during the month for which such Commission Fee is being calculated.
    2. Commission Fees will be processed approximately fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days after payment for the Qualified Purchase has been processed and confirmed complete.
    3. Commissions will accrue and only become payable once You provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to Section xvi below.
    4. For a Qualified Purchase to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the Referred Customer must complete the order form and remit full payment for the Keda Products or Services ordered through the secure order system. Word of mouth referrals will not result in an Affiliate commission being generated. Commissions will only be paid on a Qualified Purchase that is made when the Referred Customer clicks through qualified, correctly structured Affiliate Links. Properly coded Links are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate.
  8. Payment
    1. Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in Your Affiliate profile. Please notify Us promptly of any change in Your Affiliate profile information by updating Your profile information in the Affiliate console or by contacting Us. You are solely responsible for making or informing Keda of changes to Your profile.
    2. Keda pays Affiliates via a PayPal Account, provided to us when an Affiliate joins. If the PayPal email changes, it is the sole responsibility of the Affiliate to notify Us to ensure proper commission payments. We will not resend payments returned due to incorrect payment email addresses.
    3. If unable to use PayPal for any reason, it is Your sole responsibility to notify Us of Your desired payment form/type. Commission Fees will be paid using an alternative payment form/type at Keda’s sole discretion.
    4. Keda is not responsible for any third-party fees charged by PayPal, bank or other financial institute used to receive Affiliate Commission Fees.
    5. Check payments will only be re-issued within 120 days of original issue date in the case of a lost check or stop-payment request. After 120 days, the payment will be voided. Check cancellation fees may be applied.
    6. PayPal payments will only be re-issued within 120 days of original issue date in the case of incorrect PayPal address or refusal from PayPal to accept payment.
    7. You can update or change payment information at any time by updating Your Affiliate Profile located in the Keda Affiliate Platform, or by contacting Us.
    8. Keda, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the terms of this Commission payment method or schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted.
    9. Disputes: Affiliate has access to Keda’s real-time Affiliate Program statistics and activity and specifically agree to file any tracking or commission disputes as well as any other disputes and discrepancies within 30 days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes files after 30 days of the date on which the Qualified Purchase occurred will not be accepted by Keda and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
  9. Term and Termination
    1. The term of this Agreement will begin when You accept and will end when terminated by either party. Either Keda or the Affiliate may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail, email or fax.

Without limitation, Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program, and this Agreement, shall be deemed automatically terminated immediately and all commissions forfeited upon Affiliate’s violation or breach of any of the terms of this Agreement or of any applicable law or regulation having the force of law.

  10. Order Processing, Fulfillment, and Policies
    1. We will process orders placed by Referred Customers who follow the Links from Your website to Keda’s. We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements that we may establish from time to time. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including Keda service, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be Our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by Your website and will make this information available to You through Our website. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and Commission accrual, You must ensure that the Links between Your website and Our website are properly formatted.
    2. Affiliates are not authorized to collect payments or sell any Keda Products or Services from other websites as a “reseller” and no “resale” rights are granted in ANY way.

Keda will also be solely responsible for all customer service inquiries. All Affiliate understand and acknowledge that no physical products will be shipped.
    3. Referred Customers who make a Qualified Purchase through the Keda Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of Keda. Accordingly, all rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and service will apply to those customers. We may change Our policies and operating procedures at any time.

  11. Permitted Usage
    1. Affiliates are permitted to use the graphical banners and design resources located in the Keda Affiliate Platform. If a specific size banner ad is not available, the Affiliate may contact Us at support (at) keda (dot) industries and request a new banner graphic be added to the available resources.
    2. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in Referred Customer prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Keda’s service).
  12. Prohibited Usage
    1. You are free to promote Your own web sites, but any promotion that mentions Keda could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You are responsible for being aware that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Keda. For example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to Us and could cause damage to Our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, You may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents Your identity, Your domain name, or Your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Keda so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of Your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, You may post to newsgroups to promote Keda so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, You must clearly represent Yourself and Your web sites as independent from Keda. If it comes to Our attention that Your are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Affiliate Agreement and Your participation in the Keda Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to You will not be paid if Your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
    2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns on keywords such as mykeda.com, Keda, www.mykeda, www.mykeda.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to redirecting it to Ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from the Keda Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the Affiliate prior to the ban. However, We reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from Our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
    3. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials”, “Parasiteware”, “Parasitic Marketing”, “Shopping Assistance Application”, “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons”, “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying Link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Keda’s site(s) (i.e. no page from Our site or any of Keda’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein, a “Parasiteware” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that:
      1. through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of Affiliate and non-Affiliate commision tracking cookies through any other means than a customer intiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email;
      2. intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, popups, commision tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot, Duck Duck Go, and similar search or directory engines);
      3. set commission tracking cookies through loading of Keda site in iFrames, hidden links and automatic popups that open Keda’s site;
      4. targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing;
      5. removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
  13. Access to Affiliate Account Interface
    1. You will create a password, when registering as an Affiliate, so that you may enter Keda’s secure Keda Affiliate Platform. From there you will be able to receive Your reports that will describe Our calculation of the commissions due to you as well as provide you with banner Links, text Links and creative properties for use on Your site to direct customers to Keda’s site(s) to make Qualified Purchases and earn Commission Fees.
  14. Anti-Spam Policy
    1. Keda strictly prohibits Affiliates from using spam e-mail and other forms of Internet abuse (including spamming forums, blogs, twitter, facebook and other social media outlets) to seek sales. Spam is defined as including, but not limited to, the follow:
      1. Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the sender does not have existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient through an opt in subscription;
      2. Messages posted to blogs, forums, Twitter, Facebook, and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, posted in excessive volume, or posted against forum/message board rules. Be conscious of forum rules! If a forum owner or moderator complains that an Affiliate has spammed, the Affiliate Account may be permanently terminated after investigation.
      3. Content posted on free blog websites for the sole purpose of keyword spamming, or comments posted to legitimate blogs that violate the comment policy of the blog owner.
      4. Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or “Instant Messaging” system;
      5. Certain off-line activities that, while not considered Spam, are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations or laws.
    2. Keda, may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions:
      1. Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, the Keda Affiliate Program manager may investigate the complaint, and if necessary, will then terminate the affiliate account of the individual implicated in the abuse. Termination results in the immediate closure of the member and affiliate account, the loss of all referrals, and the forfeiture of any unpaid money on account. At Keda’s discretion, termination may not only result in being banned from the affiliate program, but also being banned from ANY other internal affiliate programs.
    3. If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please forward all relevant information and evidence to our Affiliate Support Department at support (at) keda (dot) industries.
