Affiliate accounts must be active at the time of the referral. No referral fee will be given to your affiliate account for sales that occurred before you joined the affiliate program.
Affiliates commission is approved after 30 days from the date of client purchase. (For e.g. Client order date is 03-06-2019 the Commission Approved date would be 04-07-2019)
Affiliates must earn a minimum of Rs.4000 before the affiliate account is eligible for payment.
Affiliate commissions are paid on the 15th of every month.
Affiliates are eligible for the commission only if they refer new clients. Existing clients placing orders through affiliates, such commissions will be declined.
If the existing client renews or purchases any other hosting service then the affiliate is not eligible for the commission on such orders.
Affiliates are paid only if the order process is completed, if the client cancels the order then it is treated as canceled and the affiliates are not eligible for the commission.
Affiliates payment is done through PayPal and NEFT (Note: For NEFT payment the affiliates should email their bank details to affiliates@sitehostingclub) To update your payment information, please contact the affiliate department.
Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that all payee information is up to date in the affiliate system. We are not responsible for lost/stolen payments. The affiliate is responsible for keeping all information up to date including postal and email addresses, name, payment information, or any other personal information that will impact the ability to issue a valid payment. Failure to provide current information may result in forfeiture of any referral fees due to you. Referral fees that are left unclaimed or are returned for invalid or insufficient address information or for other reasons may be forfeited as well.
Affiliates are responsible for making sure they are able to accept payments. Please ensure that your bank or PayPal account can accept payments from Indian-based companies.
Affiliates are responsible for any and all fees, taxes, exchange rates, surcharges, and other expenses incurred in order to receive their referral fees. Please check with your local banking institution or PayPal to find out if any of these apply to your account.
Because of the high frequency of credit card fraud and cancellation rates, we reserve the right to hold referral fees for up to 45 days for verification. We also reserve the right to cancel referral fees in the event that we are unable to collect funds, the order is fraudulent, the customer cancels within the first 30 days, or if we learn that the referral fee was earned improperly for any other reason.
The affiliate system calculates the commission on the total amount that includes product/service cost, GST, and payment gateway fees. We will exclude the GST and payment gateway charges from your commission amount before making the payout.
Affiliates can check the status of their commission in their affiliate dashboard. (Note: For this just log in to your affiliate account)
