Article 1: Purpose
These terms govern participation in the WP Masquerade affiliate program (hereinafter "the Program"), through which a member of wp-masquerade.com recommends WP Masquerade Pro licenses using tracked links and earns a commission on the purchases of the members they referred. They supplement the terms of sale, which continue to govern sales to customers.
Article 2: Parties
The Program is offered by Jean-Edouard Hueber EI, sole proprietor, 22 rue de la Chapelle, 26140 Anneyron, France, SIRET 501 352 470 00048, who can be reached via the contact form (hereinafter "the Seller").
The "Affiliate" is any individual or legal entity holding a member account on wp-masquerade.com who has joined the Program. The "Referred Member" is the person whose account was created after clicking one of the Affiliate's links, under the conditions of article 4.
Article 3: Joining
Joining the Program is free. It is done from the Affiliation tab of the member area and implies full acceptance of these terms; the date and version of the accepted terms are recorded.
The Seller may refuse an application, or end an Affiliate's participation, in particular when the Affiliate's website, content or practices do not match the image of the product or the rules of article 10. The Affiliate may leave the Program at any time from the member area or by writing to the Seller.
Article 4: Links and attribution
The Affiliate creates one or more tracked links from the member area. When a visitor clicks one of these links, a first-party, functional cookie is set in their browser for 30 days. This cookie only holds a random reference to the link and a signature.
- If the visitor clicks the links of several affiliates in turn, only the last link clicked counts.
- The visitor is attributed to the Affiliate when their account is created, including when the account is created during a direct purchase. This attribution is final: it can never be changed afterwards, neither by another link nor at the request of an affiliate.
- No attribution is possible without a real click on a tracked link within the cookie lifetime, nor for a person who already had a member account.
Article 5: Commission
5.1 Rate and basis
For each purchase that qualifies, the Affiliate earns a commission equal to the rate in force on the date of the purchase, currently 10%, applied to the amount actually paid by the Referred Member, excluding tax, after deduction of any discount and promo code. The commission is never calculated on the list price.
5.2 Commission window
All purchases of the Referred Member (first purchase, renewals, other plans) made within 12 months from the date their account was created qualify for a commission. Each Referred Member has their own window, counted from their own sign-up date.
5.3 Changes
The Seller may change the commission rate and the length of the window. A change only applies to the future: it never alters a commission already recorded. The window of a Referred Member keeps the length in force on the date they signed up.
Article 6: Exclusions
The following do not qualify for a commission:
- purchases made by the Affiliate themselves (self-referral), including when the buyer and the Affiliate are the same person, use the same email address or a variant of it (alias, "+" sub-address and the like), belong to the same company or SIRET number, use the same payment method or account, or the same connection;
- purchases by a person who already had a member account before clicking the link;
- purchases made outside the Referred Member's commission window;
- payments that are refunded, disputed or charged back;
- purchases obtained through a practice prohibited by article 10.
Article 7: Approval of commissions
Each commission is first recorded as "pending" for 30 days from the purchase, to cover refunds and disputes. At the end of this period, if the purchase has been neither refunded nor disputed, it becomes "approved" and is added to the Affiliate's payable balance. It becomes "paid" once paid out.
Article 8: Refunds, chargebacks and clawback
A full refund of a purchase, a chargeback or a payment dispute cancels the matching commission; a partial refund reduces it proportionally. If the commission has already been paid, its amount is deducted from the Affiliate's next commissions. The Seller may also ask for it to be repaid when no future commission allows this deduction.
Article 9: Payment of commissions
Approved commissions are paid manually by the Seller, in euros, by bank transfer or PayPal, once the Affiliate's approved balance reaches at least €50.00. No automatic transfer is made.
The Affiliate enters their own payout details in the member area and is responsible for their accuracy. The Seller is not liable for a payment made to incorrect details provided by the Affiliate. Any fees charged by the Affiliate's bank or by PayPal are borne by the Affiliate.
The Affiliate is solely responsible for their tax and social security obligations relating to the commissions received. A business Affiliate sends the Seller a valid invoice for each payout.
Article 10: Prohibited practices
The following are prohibited:
- self-referral, in any of the forms described in article 6;
- sending unsolicited messages (spam) by email, instant messaging, comments or social networks;
- buying keywords or paid search ads on the "WP Masquerade" brand or its variants, and using the brand in a domain name or account name;
- misleading claims about the product, its price or its features, in particular any promise that it makes a site unhackable or undetectable, or presenting oneself as the Seller;
- setting the cookie without a real, deliberate click by the visitor (cookie stuffing), through iframes, hidden windows, automatic redirects or any other means;
- creating or sharing promo codes that were not given to the Affiliate by the Seller for the Program;
- any manipulation of links, clicks or sign-ups, and any unlawful content.
Article 11: Suspension and removal
If these terms are breached, the Seller may suspend the Affiliate or remove them from the Program. From the suspension or removal onwards, new sign-ups are no longer attributed to them. In the event of hacking, spam or fraud, the Affiliate may be removed immediately and all of their pending commissions and approved commissions not yet paid may be cancelled, and those already paid may be claimed back under article 8.
Article 12: Independence of the parties
The Affiliate acts independently. They are neither an employee, nor an agent, nor a commercial representative of the Seller and may not make any commitment on the Seller's behalf. They may present the product in their own words, mentioning the WP Masquerade brand in accordance with article 10.
Article 13: Personal data
The data processed for the Program (affiliate account, payout details, tracking of clicks and sign-ups, commissions and payouts) is described in the privacy policy. The Affiliate never has access to the identity, email address or website of Referred Members: their dashboard only shows a pseudonymous label, dates, the number of purchases and the commission on each purchase.
Article 14: Changes to the terms
The Seller may change these terms. Affiliates are informed by email or in their member area at least 15 days before the new terms take effect. An Affiliate who does not accept them may leave the Program. Commissions already recorded remain governed by the terms in force on the date of the purchase concerned.
Article 15: End of the Program
The Seller may end the Program by informing Affiliates at least 15 days in advance. Commissions relating to purchases made before the end date remain due after the holding period; the approved balance is then paid even if it is below the payout minimum. When an Affiliate leaves the Program, their approved commissions are paid under article 9.
Article 16: Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. Consumers may bring proceedings, at their choice, before the court for the place where they resided at the time the contract was concluded or the harmful event occurred, or before any other competent court. For business Affiliates, jurisdiction is conferred on the courts within the jurisdiction of Valence (Drôme), subject to mandatory public policy rules.
