2. To be considered for participation in the Affiliate Program you must complete the Affiliate Program online application at https://www.inspirednutritionals.com/affiliate-program-info/ (click “Join Now” button).

4. Inspired Nutritionals reserves the right to approve or deny any application for membership in the Affiliate Program to anyone, at anytime, for any reason or no reason.

(2) Applying to Participate

(a) When applying, please don’t tell us lies or give us fake info.

When you apply for participation in the Affiliate Program, you will be required to provide the data required in the Affiliate Program online application form (“Registration Data”). In providing the Registration Data, you warrant and represent that: (i) the information you are providing about yourself is true, complete, current and accurate; (ii) if we approve your application to participate in the Affiliate Program, you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, complete, current and accurate and (iii) you are of 18 years of age, or of legal age in your country, and free to enter into this Agreement.

In any such case, any unpaid Affiliate Commission will be forfeited. If Inspired Nutritionals approves your application for participation in the Affiliate Program, we will create an Affiliate Account for you and send you notification and additional information concerning the approval and next steps.

(3) Login Credentials

(a) Protect your Affiliate Account password like you would your wallet.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of the login credentials used to access your Affiliate Account and all actions that take place under your Affiliate Account will be considered done by you. In no event shall Inspired Nutritionals be held liable to Affiliate, or any other person, firm, entity or party, in any case where the Affiliate Account is hacked or otherwise accessed by an unauthorized person, firm, entity or party. Affiliate agrees to assume all liability for any unauthorized access to the Affiliate Account.

(B) AFFILIATE COMMISSION

(1) General

(a) Here’s the breakdown on the Affiliate Commission:

(b) To be eligible for the Affiliate Commission, the following conditions must be met:

1. Your Affiliate Account must be active and in good standing at the time of the Referred Customer’s purchase of Product;
2. The Referred Customer’s order and payment must be in good standing for at least 45 consecutive days prior to the date Inspired Nutritionals disburses payment of any Affiliate Commission to you; and
3. The Referred Customer must arrive at our Website via your own Affiliate Link, or from a URL on your website which you have registered in your Affiliate Account, or via the input of your Affiliate Coupon during the checkout process, or by any other means we may make available to your through our Affiliate Program.

Eligibility for Affiliate Commission is subject to verification by Inspired Nutritionals. All decisions as to whether an Affiliate Commission was Earned will be made at Inspired Nutritionals’s sole discretion, and are final.

(c) The following restrictions apply to the Affiliate Commission:

1. Affiliate is eligible for Affiliate Commission only on Referred Sales of commissionable Products to Leads who were not an existing customer of Inspired Nutritionals (namely customers who have not ordered Product from us, whether they set up an account or not, previous to the first sales made via your Affiliate Link);
2. Affiliate will not earn retroactive Affiliate Commission on Products purchased prior to joining the Affiliate Program;
3. Affiliate is eligible for the “Initial Sale” Affiliate Commission on the Referred Customer’s first purchase of Product via the Affiliate Link, and (for the lifetime of Affiliate’s Account) is eligible for “Subsequent Sales” Affiliate Commission on any future purchase of Product by Referred Customer.
4. Commissions are not paid on on wholesale orders. If your Referral applies for a wholesale account, and subsequently purchases product at discounted prices, such sales will not earn a commission.

(d) Where applicable, the following will be deducted from the Affiliate Commission:

1. Any chargeback issued against Inspired Nutritionals in connection with any Referred Customer’s order which was referred by you; and

(e) Credit goes to whoever’s Affiliate Link was last clicked.

If the Lead you refer to Inspired Nutritionals navigates to our Website via the link of another Affiliate, and, according to our records and logs, purchases Service via the other Affiliate’s link (i.e. becomes a “Referred Customer”), the other affiliate, not you, will be credited with any applicable Affiliate Commission earned. In other words, whoever’s link the Referred Customer clicked on last is the Affiliate that will be credited with any applicable Affiliate Commission. For sake of reference, this situation could be the result of a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to, the Lead having navigated to our Website from a coupon code website operated by a person who is also an Inspired Nutritionals Affiliate.

(d) Monthly bonus rate

If in any given month you make 10 referral sales, your rate on the subsequant referrals (the 10th and over) will go up to the “Monthly Bonus Rate” shown in above Affiliate Commissions Table, for the remainder of that month. This is our “Monthly Bonus” commission rate. At the start of each month this will reset.

This bonus rate system and eligibility criteria are subject to change at our discretion at any time.

(2) Payments

(a) A word (well, actually, several words) about payment of the Affiliate Commission.

1. Affiliate will receive Affiliate Commission payment in U.S. currency.
2. The Affiliate Commission will appear in the affiliate management center as “Pending” until the lapse of 45 days after the sale occurred, at which point the Affiliate Commission will be locked and verified before issuance.
3. Earned Affiliate Commission is disbursed once per month.
4. Affiliates are solely and completely responsible for ensuring that Inspired Nutritionals has up-to-date information, including, without limitation, postal and email addresses, payee information, name, tax information or any other personal information that will impact Inspired Nutritionals’s ability to issue payment of an Affiliate Commission. Any failure to provide up-to-date information, as just described, may result in the forfeiture of any Affiliate Commission payment due to you, at Inspired Nutritionals’s sole discretion.
5. Within the United States, affiliate commissions are typically paid via an ACH direct bank-to-bank transfer. Similar / equivalent methods are used for affiliates based in New Zealand, Australia, and the EU.
6. Inspired Nutritionals is not responsible for lost, stolen or misdirected Affiliate Commission payments.
7. Affiliate Commissions that are left unclaimed or that are returned to Inspired Nutritionals for invalid or insufficient payee information, or for any other reason(s), will be forfeited.

(b) As far as payment of Affiliate Commission is concerned, it is your responsibility to:

1. Report all Affiliate Commission you earn to the IRS or any other tax collecting agency, as applicable to you, and pay any applicable taxes;
2. If you are a U.S. citizen, complete and provide us with a valid form W-9 within ninety days of a Affiliate Commission being earned. If you fail to provide us with a valid form W-9 within ninety days of an Affiliate Commission being earned, any Affiliate Commission earned will be forfeited.
3. Inspired Nutritionals is not responsible for lost, stolen or misdirected Affiliate Commission payments.

(c) We may withhold, delay, refuse or reverse an Affiliate Commission payment if:

1. We have reason to believe that your Affiliate Account is or has been associated with fraudulent activities, including, but not limited to, activities we believe are or were intended to defraud or cheat us, regardless of the amount of time that may have lapsed since the signup occurred;
2. We receive a chargeback related to a Referred Customer(s) associated with your Affiliate Account, regardless of the amount of time that may have lapsed since the signup occurred;
3. The Referred Customer returns the commissionable product within 45 days of purchase;
4. There is an unusually high volume of cancellations and/or chargebacks related to the Referred Customer(s) associated with your Affiliate Account;
5. Any of the terms set forth in (B)(1)(b) are not satisfied; or
6. We have reason to believe that you have breached any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Payment in store credit

No Affiliate Commission will be paid for tracking errors of any kind, including, without limitation, any tracking errors caused by Affiliate’s editing, masking or tampering with links.

Affiliates are required to comply with all Federal Trade Affiliate Commissions regulations related to advertising, including, without limitation, Federal Trade Affiliate Commission 16 CFR 255, which, in part, requires that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. Essentially, directories, blogs and other websites, email or other collateral that purport to provide an endorsement or assessment of an advertiser (in this case, Inspired Nutritionals) must prominently disclose the fact financial or in-kind compensation is provided from the advertiser. If you want more information, please visit the FTC’s website here, here, and here. Please note that the FTC guides and this summary of such information do not constitute legal advice.
