Once you complete an application to become an Affiliate, we will review your application and notify you whether you have been accepted to participate in the Affiliate Program, or not.  Before we accept an application, we may want to review your application with you, so we may reach out to you for more information. We may require that you complete certain requirements or certification(s) before we accept your application. If we do not notify youthat you are accepted to participate in the Affiliate Program within thirty (30) days from your application, your application is considered to be rejected.

For example, we might ask that you provide bank details, proof of identification, or other information.

Your acceptance and participation in the Affiliate Program does not mean that you are an employee, contractor, customer or any kind of representative of Musink Limited.

You will comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at all times, including any applicable Program Policies.

Customer Transactions

  1. Affiliate Program Limits. Each accepted Affiliate Lead will expire according to the information provided in the Affiliate Information Resources from the date the Affiliate Lead clicked on the Affiliate Link that was made available by you. We will pay you Commission as described in the Affiliate Information Resources for each new Customer who completes an applicable Customer Transaction after clicking on an Affiliate Lead made available by you, provided that you remain eligible to receive Commission pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The start of a Customer's Subscription is determined by the date of the first purchase or sign up (as applicable) of the Subscription Service by the Customer and you will receive a Commission payment for that Customer Transaction only, regardless of any additional purchases or ongoing payments to maintain that subscription made by that customer during their Subscription Service. For example, if the initial Customer Transaction is for one user of Musink Pro, and there is a subsequent purchase by that same customer for an additional user of Musink Pro, Affiliate will receive Commission for the initial user purchase only. The Affiliate will not be entitled to receive Commission on any additional purchases of Musink Limited Products by that same Customer. As another example, if the initial Customer Transaction is for one user of Musink Pro as part of a monthly subscription and that subscription is maintained for 6 months, the Affiliate receives a commission for only one transaction. Commissions only apply to new Customers of Musink who have not previously paid for any Musink Products at any time in the past, who are not affiliates or Musink Limited Staff, and have never had a log-in to any part of our website.
  2. Eligibility. To be eligible for Commission (i) an Affiliate Lead must be accepted and valid in accordance with the "Acceptance and Validity" section, (ii) a Customer Transaction for a non-free Musink Limited Product must have occurred, (iii)  a Customer must remain a customer during the locking period described in the Affiliate Information Resources. The locking period may be changed by Musink Limited from time to time without notice. You are not eligible to receive Commission or any other compensation from us based on transactions for Other Products or if: (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the EU, any country you have a bank account in, or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction; (ii) the applicable Customer objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such compensation from its payments to us or Musink Limited Affiliates; (iii) the Customer has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to you, (iv) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in violation of any Affiliate Program Policies that we make available to you, misuse of the Affiliate Information Resources or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Marketing Affiliate Program, (v) the Customer participates in any of our partner programs and is eligible to receive commission in relation to the Customer Transaction under any of these programs, or (vi) the Customer uses a discount coupon that is not intended by Musink Limited to be compatible with the Affiliate Program or reduces the revenue from an individual sale below that of the advertised commission rate. If at any point you are eligible to receive a revenue share payment or commission under another Program at Musink Limited, that payment amount will not change based on your participation in the Affiliate Program. In competitive situations with other affiliates, we may elect to provide the Commission to the affiliate that we deem to be the most eligible for Commission, at our discretion. We may discontinue Commission payments should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection fail to be met at any time. 
  3. Acceptance and Validity. You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any Customer Transactions that derived from Affiliate Leads generated by the Affiliate Link that we make available to you and are accepted by Musink Limited. An Affiliate Lead will be considered valid and accepted if, in our reasonable determination: (i) it is a new potential customer of ours, and (ii) is not, at the time of submission nor at any time prior, one of our pre-existing customers, or involved in our active sales process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may choose not to accept an Affiliate Lead in our reasonable discretion. If an Affiliate Lead does not purchase the Subscription Service within the time period described on the Affiliate Information Resources of their first click on the Affiliate Link, you will not be eligible for a Commission payment, even if the Affiliate Lead decides to purchase after the time period has expired.  An Affiliate Lead is not considered valid if It's first click on the Affiliate Link is after this Agreement has expired or terminated. Engagement with Prospects.  Once we have received the Affiliate Lead information, we may elect to engage with the prospect directly, regardless of whether or not the Affiliate Lead is valid. If an Affiliate Lead is not valid then we may choose to maintain it in our database and we may choose to engage with such Affiliate Lead. Any engagement between Musink Limited and an Affiliate Lead will be at Musink Limited's discretion.
  4. Commission and Payment. In order to receive payment (Pay Out) under this Agreement, you must have: (i) agreed to the terms of this Agreement and this agreement to Musink Limited; (ii) completed all steps necessary to create your account in the Affiliate Information Resources in accordance with our directions, (iii) have supplied Musink Limited with valid and up-to-date payment method that is compatible with any restrictions listed in this Agreement and in the  Affiliate Information Resources (iv) completed any and all required tax documentation in order for the Musink Limited to process any payments that may be owed to you through their normal processes, (v) have owed to you at least the minimum Pay Out amount at the time the Pay Out is applied for in accordance with this agreement and the Affiliate Information Resources, and (vi) have either requested a Pay Out in the manner described on the Affiliate Information Resources or have been notified by Musink Limited that it intends to pay you despite you not requesting a pay out. Musink Limited reserves the sole right to waive any conditions set out in section 4 (i)-(vi).
  5. Requirements for Payment; Forfeiture. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any of the requirements set forth in section 4(a)(i-iv) remain outstanding for six (6) months immediately following the close of a Customer Transaction, then your right to receive Commission arising from any and all Customer Transactions with the associated Customer will be forever forfeited (each, a "Forfeited Transaction"). We will have no obligation to pay you Commission associated with a Forfeited Transaction. Once you comply with all of the requirements in section 4(a)(i-v), then you will be eligible to receive Commission on Customer Transactions, as long as these Customer Transactions do not involve the same Customer associated with a Forfeited Transaction. Notice that transactions are not forfeited on the basis of you not yet having owed to you at least the minimum Pay Out. If you refuse to accept a Pay Out for any reason through any means, including by frustrating the payment process, you forfeit Customer Transactions forming that Pay Out.
  6. Commission Payment. Pay Outs occur in response to a Pay Out request from the Affiliate and are only made into bank accounts in countries and currencies that we support. While we support payment to most mainstream banks in first-world countries, and many in developing countries, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a bank account in a financial institution we support holding a currency we can support before requesting a Pay Out. A maximum of one Pay Out request per calendar Month may be made if the Pay Out amount is less than $US1000 or equivalent. Pay Outs equal to or greater than this amount may be made as frequently as desired. We may request from the Affiliate a written invoice to complete a Pay Out or receipt for a Pay Out we have processed. We or the Affiliate Information Webpages will determine the currency in which we pay the Commission, as well as the applicable conversion rate. The Pay Out may be reduced by any transaction fees associated with funds transfer. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar referral fee on any given Customer Transaction (unless we choose to at our sole discretion). Musink Limited will endeavour to send Pay Outs as fast as is practical, but no longer than 60 calendar days from a Pay Out request, so long the Affiliate is eligible for a Pay Out according to this Agreement. If there is a problem with a Pay Out, you must contact Musink Limited directly for a solution before taking any other action. You are responsible for payment of all taxes and fees (including bank fees and sales tax) applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us. Commission Amounts. Potential Commission Amounts for a Customer Transaction is set at the time of that Customer Transaction. We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount as per the Affiliate Information Resources. For example, if the Commission amount for a certain transaction type was $1 when that transaction completed, the Commission Amount is set at $1, even if Musink Limited changed the Commission amount before or after that transaction took place. We reserve the right to reduce a given Commission Amount, potentially to zero, if the customer used Coupons, discounts, or engaged in other special offers that we, you, or other affiliates of Musink Limited made available, including any coupons that we provide you to encourage sales. We will endeavour to communicate any general reductions in commission amounts due to coupons, discounts, or special offers to you via email or the Affiliate Information Resources. Once a Pay Out is requested, Commissions associated with that Pay Out are considered final, and any future changes in Commission rates or conditions are not applied to these Paid-Out Customer Transactions.
  7. Chargebacks and cancelled Customer Transactions. If a customer completes a Customer transaction but requests reversal of the transaction due to factors such as but not limited to misleading marketing information or fraudulent credit card use, the Affiliate referring that customer is liable for costs to Musink Limited including but not limited to Chargeback fees. These may be subtracted from the Affiliate's pending commission balance at Musink Limited's sole discretion. If the Affiliate's pending commission balance is less than the subtracted costs, the pending commission balance will become negative. Such events are rare, and this clause is intended to ensure that an Affiliate does not mislead potential customers, refers a high quality Affiliate Lead, and does not use this Affiliate Program in a fraudulent or illegal manner.
