Composer Affiliate Program Terms of Agreement and Responsibilities
Composer Affiliate Program Terms of Agreement and Responsibilities
This AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") between EXCELCIA MUSIC PUBLISHING, LLC with the subsidiaries of WINGERT-JONES PUBLICATIONS and RBC PUBLICATIONS ("COMPANY") constitutes the entire terms and conditions that apply to the Excelcia Music Publishing LLC, Wingert-Jones Publications and RBC Publications Composer Affiliate Program ("PROGRAM") and the AFFILIATE COMPOSER ("AFFILIATE").
Background
An affiliate program is an automated electronic program that involves a Web advertiser the COMPANY and recruited webmasters the AFFILIATE. The webmasters, as affiliates, place the COMPANY's website links on their individually owned websites.
The website links in the affiliate programs are linked to the COMPANY websites and are referred to as affiliate links. AFFILIATES are required to apply for the PROGRAM on the registration page. When an online visitor visits the AFFILIATE's website and clicks the affiliate link, the visitor is redirected to the COMPANY's website. If the customer/visitor makes a purchase, the affiliate is paid a commission for referring this customer.
Application Process
To become an AFFILIATE, the composer will be required to submit an application for membership into the PROGRAM. This application will be reviewed for accuracy before you are notified of your acceptance to the PROGRAM. The COMPANY reserves the right to reject applications at its sole discretion if your site is deemed unsuitable. Once your application has been accepted, you will receive additional information in order to begin the process of adding affiliate links to your website.
Qualifying Affiliate Sales
A sale will qualify for a commission if the customer follows a link in the format specified in the PROGRAM affiliate area to redirect customers from the AFFILIATE's site to the COMPANY's site, purchases the product(s) using the COMPANY's online order system, and remits payment to the COMPANY. If the customer does not complete the sale as described, there will be no commission payable to the AFFILIATE. The COMPANY reserves the right to reject orders that do not comply with our requirements, which may change from time to time and at our discretion. If the sale is determined to be complete, the AFFILIATE will be credited with each completed sale a customer makes using the AFFILIATE's links.
Order Fulfillment and Tracking
Once an order has been deemed complete, the COMPANY will process and track the order placed by the customer that has followed the affiliate link. The COMPANY will communicate with the customer regarding order processing and order tracking. If the AFFILIATE has accurately used the affiliate link system, the COMPANY's site will use a client side text string, commonly known as a "cookie" containing your affiliate code to the customer's computer to record the transaction and credit your affiliate account with the sale.
Commissions
For qualified sales as described above, the AFFILIATE will earn a commission based on the sale price of the product at the time of the transaction. The current commission rate is set at Ten percent (10%) of the retail selling price at the time of the transaction. The COMPANY reserves the right to change retail price and/or the commission rate at its own discretion at any time, and without notice. Commissions will be paid to the AFFILIATE quarterly 30 days after the end of the quarter in which the sales were earned. Payments will be made by check for the commissions that were earned during the quarter being accounted for, less withholdings for any applicable taxes. If products are returned after commissions have been paid, this amount will be deducted from future commissions. If the AFFILIATE receives no commissions quarter, you will be invoiced for the overpayment.
