WELCOME NOTE
This is a contract between you (the customer) and us (Trimorph). It describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily “legalese” but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.

By participating in any of our Affiliate Program, you are agreeing to these terms.
We may periodically update these terms and we will let you know when we do via e-mail or on your notification portal.
This Agreement does not create an exclusive agreement between you and us.

COMMISSION POLICY
You will be eligible to a per-sale commission for any valid sale you refer to Trimorph. For a valid sale there are few prerequisite requirements:
The sale has to be made as a result of your active referral efforts. We shall have the right to determine that if any of the following is true:
- During the time of order the customer has an active cookie indicating you as the last affiliate who referred them to our website, provided that the customer has not reached our website through a search engine with a search string not containing the Trimorph name;
- The referral must be made no later than 2 months from the order date; the customer does not object to that claim and we do not have information that attributes the sale to another advertising channel.
- Your affiliate account must be active at the time of the sale. No commission is due for sales that were made before you registered for our Affiliate Program.
- The customer you refer has not used our services before and has not signed up for an affiliate account with us before.
- The customer completed their order processes without any assistance from you, including when you act on behalf of the customer.
- The sale is for any of our maintenance plans. Sales for other services or additional account features do not qualify for commissions.
- The sale is for any of our maintenance plans at any billing cycle.
- The referred customer has maintained his account active, with a domain name pointed to one of our servers and a website with user-uploaded content for the minimum required period as described herein. User-uploaded content is defined as content different from any default installation via automated installation tools we provide or different from any default content you upload across the accounts you refer. The minimum required period is set to:
a. More than 30 days for accounts initially ordered with a billing term longer than one month.
b. More than 90 days for accounts initially ordered with a one-month billing term.
- Sales of maintenance accounts that are cancelled by the customer or suspended by Trimorph for any reason do not qualify for an affiliate commission.
- The initial order payment and any related service renewal payments of the referred customer are fully processed and are not subject to refund or chargeback.
- We reserve the right to mark any sale as invalid at our own discretion, without providing any explanation or justification.
INVOICING
We shall provide you with a statement of commissions due in your Affiliate Area.
If applicable for your country of residence, we will issue self-billing invoices for all commission payouts, including applicable taxes.
The Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions will be considered a valid Self-billing Agreement between you and Trimorph and that shall continue until termination of your Affiliate account. By signing up for our Affiliate Program you agree to accept self-billing invoices raised by Trimorph on your behalf, not to raise any sales invoices for the commission payouts you receive from Trimorph and to notify us immediately if you change your name, company details or tax registration status.
COMMISSION SHARE
- We, or one of our affiliates, will pay the Commission share amount due to you within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to the Net Commission we recognize as Commission from your Affiliate Transactions during such quarter.
- You are responsible for payment of all taxes applicable to the Commission Share. You will be assessed sales tax unless you provide us with a valid reseller certificate that indicates tax should not be applied to the Commission Share amount. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us.
- In order to receive payment under this Agreement, you must agree to the terms of this Agreement and complete all information in our account information form.
- Trimorph shall pay all affiliate commissions based on the structure and in the currency outlined on the Affiliate Program signup page, unless a custom agreement exists in writing. Any commissions earned for valid sales will be paid out after a holding period of 30 days. We reserve the right to extend the holding period as set out in the T&C and without prior notice for as long as is reasonably necessary in order to establish the validity of a sale.
- We process commission payouts once per week or less often depending on your preferences. Affiliate commissions are paid out via PayPal and you are responsible for any transaction fees, unless a custom agreement applies.
- You are solely responsible for keeping all your information up to date including postal and email addresses, name, payment information, tax information and any other personal information that will impact our ability to process a commission payout. We will suspend commission payouts until we have all required details, including your tax information. Payout on suspended commissions can be claimed up to 6 months from the date they would have been originally due for payment.
- We may suspend your commission payouts at any time and for any period, if we suspect fraudulent or other improper activity or a potential violation of this Agreement by you or any customer you refer.
- We reserve the right to deduct from your current and future commissions any and all commissions paid out for sales that are fraudulent, questionable, or canceled. Where no current and future commissions are due, we will send you a bill for the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of the program or termination of the referred customer account.
