Friends of Evergreen Affiliate program – Terms of Use

As an authorized affiliate (Affiliate) of EverGrowth Online, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (Agreement). Please read the entire Agreement carefully before registering and promoting Evergreen products as an Affiliate.

Your participation in the Program is solely to legally advertise our website and/or products to receive a commission on products purchased by individuals referred to www.evergreenparenting.co.za by your personal referrals or your own website.

By signing up for the Friends of Evergreen Affiliate Program (Program), you indicate your acceptance of this Agreement and its terms and conditions.

Approval or Rejection of the Application

We reserve the right to approve or reject ANY Affiliate Program Application at our sole and absolute discretion. You will have no legal recourse against us for the rejection of your Affiliate Program Application.

Commissions

Commission is calculated as 12% of the total amount paid by the client.

Commission can be earned on all products on the public side of the Evergreen Parenting website, however commission is only earned on the initial sign-up fee of the ‘Journey through the Parenting Garden‘ and not on the client’s monthly subscription payments.

Commission can not be earned on exclusive Facilitator-only products, like the official Evergreen Parenting workbooks.

Affiliates cannot refer themselves, and will therefor not receive a commission for orders on their own account.

Commission payment will only be made for transactions that have been successfully completed. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.

To avoid banking fees to exceed the commission payout amount, the minimum payout amount is R100. In the event that an Affiliate earned less than R100 in commission in one month, the commission earned will roll over to the next month, continuing until the payout amount is more than the minimum amount of R100.

Commission payouts will be made once a month.

Commission payouts will be done via electronic banking only.

For an Affiliate to receive a commission, the referred account must remain active for a minimum of 31 days – therefor if an Affiliate cancel affiliation status before the anniversary of the registration date, the affiliate will forfeit all referral commission earned up until then.
