Affiliate Program Agreement

Hello! Congratulations and welcome to the Create & Sell LIVE affiliate program! We’re so excited to partner with you. Please read our agreement in its entirety and be sure that you agree to all terms below.

When you submit an application to our program, you are confirming that you are in full agreement with the terms and conditions of our program.

This is a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between Carrie & Co. (“Company”) and you (“Affiliate”) (collectively, “the Parties”). This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions of Your relationship with the Company and, if applicable, Your participation in Our Affiliate Program (the “Program”). It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese” but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.

1. Enrollment

In order to enroll in the Program, Affiliate must complete an application form for each website through which Affiliate desires to promote the products and services sold through the Program. Affiliate agrees that any registration information provided to Company will always be accurate, correct and up to date and that the account will not be used for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

Applications will be evaluated by Company, and Company reserves the right to deny entrance into the Program to any applicant that is deemed unqualified for any reason, at Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

If accepted into the Program, Company will provide Affiliate with instructions as to when and how the Affiliate may access Company’s affiliate center and Affiliate will be assigned an affiliate coach that will assist throughout Affiliate’s participation in the Program.

2. Term and Termination

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will begin upon the date Affiliate signs and acknowledges the terms of this Agreement, and will end when terminated as described in this paragraph.

Company may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing written notice (including e-mail) to Affiliate. Affiliate may also terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, by providing Company with written notice (including e-mail). In the event that Affiliate or Company terminates this Agreement, Affiliate’s access to any of Company’s affiliate materials, content, Links, and information will immediately terminate upon Affiliate’s, or Company’s, notice of termination. Additionally, upon termination, Affiliate shall immediately cease using the content, materials, Links and information, and shall destroy all copies of the information and other resources provided to Affiliate.

Failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement may result in immediate cancellation of this Agreement by Company and forfeiture by Affiliate of any accrued, unpaid commissions. Company will pay any pending commissions owed to Affiliate through the Termination Date, if a cancellation of this Agreement occurs for any reason other than Affiliate’s violation of this Agreement.

Subject to the foregoing, Affiliate is only eligible to earn commissions on sales of the Company’s program, Create & Sell LIVE that occur during the Term, and commissions earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the orders are not canceled, refunded, or defaulted for any reason. Company may withhold final payment for a reasonable time to ensure against cancellations.  Company will provide further details about earning commissions on sales from Company’s Ideas to Income 3-day Challenge.

In the event either Party terminates this Agreement, Affiliate agrees to return all materials provided by Company.

Company makes no guarantee that Affiliate will be an affiliate for any of our future launches, services, products, or programs.

4. Community Guidelines 

The Company has created a community that is a safe space for connection, conversation, learning, and growth. Within Company’s community is the baseline expectation that all affiliates of the affiliate program will treat one another with respect while bringing encouragement and consideration to all affiliates.

The Company’s community guidelines are as follows:

A. The Company’s Program promotes diversity amongst its affiliates. Therefore, the Company encourages all affiliates to connect with one another and to learn about one another’s background, interests, hobbies, and points of view. The Company does not tolerate nor support any affiliate’s discriminatory speech, hate speech, comments, or actions against another affiliate based on their sex, gender, age, ethnicity, race, socio-economic status, disability, or other labels.

B. The Company does its best to create a safe and welcoming space for all affiliates, however, Company cannot guarantee that all affiliates will follow these guidelines. Company, in its sole discretion, may remove any affiliate’s comments, posts, content or materials, however, Company does not have a duty to review all comments, posts, content and material shared within the Program. Therefore, Company shall not be held liable for any affiliate’s comments, actions, posts, content, or materials that result in another member’s trauma or discomfort.

C. The Company has created a safe space for all affiliates to feel seen, respected and heard. Company encourages affiliates to engage in respectful dialogue with one another. The Company does not support nor tolerate any disrespectful actions or comments, which include, but are not limited to hate speech, discriminatory comments, physical, or mental or emotional abuse. Therefore, each affiliate must demonstrate respect towards one another.

D. Support one another with words of encouragement, resources, or suggestions, while respecting each affiliate’s boundaries.

Company may also post separate rules regarding Affiliate behavior in any online community or forum, whether hosted on the Company’s website or a third-party website, which may be updated from time to time. Affiliate agrees to be bound by those rules, and that said rules are expressly incorporated into this Agreement.

5. Promotion and Order Tracking

Company will make available to Affiliate a unique affiliate link that will track purchases and allow Affiliate to be paid for affiliate referrals (the “Links” collectively, or “Link” individually) in order to link to Company’s website and any related sales pages, related banners, graphics, text ads or online marketplace.

If a prospective customer clicks on Affiliate’s Link, a cookie will live on the prospect’s computer for a designated number of days (depending on the status of the affiliate), which is to be decided by Company in its sole right and discretion,  to track any transactions.

Affiliate and Company will cooperate in good faith to develop and implement such Links. Each Link will permit recipients to navigate directly to a page on Company’s website or related site, designated by Company via a special tagged link format. Affiliate may not utilize its Link on any other websites that are not owned by Affiliate, except for ads or social media placements. Affiliate will be solely responsible for integrating the Links into its site to properly enable sales tracking, and Company will not be responsible for Affiliate’s failure to do so, including to the extent such failure may result in any reductions of amounts that would otherwise be paid to Affiliate under this Agreement.  Commissions are only payable if they can be tracked to Affiliate with Affiliate’s affiliate ID.  Company cannot track commissions for users who do not accept cookies or if they delete Affiliate’s cookie.

Sales must be directly from customers enrolling in Company’s Create & Sell LIVE Program through Affiliate’s unique Link. If a customer clicks on affiliate Links of multiple affiliates, the affiliate’s Link who is the last referral source before the sale will receive the Commission. For each sale, Commission can only be granted to one affiliate.

Affiliates may not purchase Company’s Create & Sell LIVE Program through their unique Link and receive Commission on that sale. Affiliate Commissions are counted, and sales numbers are deemed final at the sole discretion of the Company.

Affiliate agrees that it will not place any affiliate link, coupon code, or other tracking device on any page or screen that contains content that: advocates discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age; promotes or engages in illegal activities, violates intellectual property rights of third parties; or contains or promotes deceptive information.

Affiliate agrees he or she is responsible for disclosing that the Links provided on its website or marketed to potential customers by other means are affiliate links in accordance with Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides, and that Company will not be held liable for Affiliate’s failure to disclose.

6. Commissions

Company will pay Affiliate Commissions (“Commissions”) in the amount of the following:

• 30% on NETT profit per sale.

Affiliates only receive Commissions based on sales for the then current year’s open cart period. Affiliates will continue to receive commissions from payment plan sales throughout the year. Commissions are subject to forfeiture or claw backs if the potential customer who signs up or purchases, disputes the credit card charge or otherwise violates the payment terms, or if the Affiliate is found to be in violation of Company’s terms.

Company makes every reasonable effort to accurately track and pay Commissions for all Affiliate sales but will NOT be held liable for any technical difficulties, outside events, actions by other affiliates or other uncontrollable events that may disrupt or interfere with Company’s ability to track sales or pay Commissions.

7. Payment Schedule

Commissions are payable monthly. Commissions are payable to Affiliates after Company’s thirty (30) day refund period, for sales from the previous month.

If a sale or order is canceled, refunded, or defaulted for any reason, any paid Commission that Affiliate receives from said sale or order will be deducted from any subsequent Commissions Affiliate may receive. If customers’ payment plans get sent to collections (or if it takes Company more than 4 weeks of attempts to bring the payments current), then Company will stop paying Affiliate Commissions for that sale or order, even if Company does end up collecting it successfully. Affiliate will not be paid Commissions on any sales attributed to spam, credit card fraud, or returned product. Company is NOT responsible for the usage or maintenance of affiliate Links. Only sales tracked through the Link will count towards the Commissions.

Company pays Affiliates via a PayPal account. If the PayPal email changes, it is Affiliate’s  responsibility to notify Company to ensure proper payments.  Affiliate Commissions shall be reduced in the amount equal to the PayPal fees associated with the processing and distribution of Commissions.

Company will provide, and make available, reports of sales for which Commissions are payable with each payment, through the affiliate member portal.

Other than what is mentioned in Paragraph 2 regarding the Company’s Ideas to Income 3-day Challenge, Affiliate Commission sales are solely available during the Affiliate Launch Open Cart Period of January 27, 2022 – February 03, 2022 (“Affiliate Launch Period”) for Company’s Create & Sell LIVE Program. Affiliate will not receive any Commission or revenue on sales of Company’s Create & Sell LIVE Program before or after the defined Affiliate Launch Period (other than what is expressly mentioned in Paragraph 2 regarding the Company’s Ideas to Income 3-day Challenge), nor will Affiliates receive any Commissions or revenue sales of Company’s services and/or products other than Company’s Create & Sell LIVE Program.
