TERMS
1. Overview & Definitions
1.1
These Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions (“Affiliate Terms”) govern the Videobolt
Affiliate Program (the “Program”), operated by Videobolt d.o.o. (“Videobolt”, “we”,
or “us”).
1.2
These Affiliate Terms supplement, and should be read together with, Videobolt’s general Terms of Service (the
“General Terms”). In the event of a conflict between these Affiliate Terms and the General
Terms on a matter specific to the Program, these Affiliate Terms control.
1.3
Definitions:
“Affiliate” means a natural person approved by Videobolt to
participate in the Program under Section 2.
“Affiliate Link” means the unique tracking link generated for an
Affiliate’s account that identifies Customers attributable to that Affiliate.
“Customer” means a person who, after clicking an Affiliate Link,
creates a Videobolt account and makes a paid subscription payment to Videobolt.
“Qualifying Payment” means a Customer’s first paid subscription
payment to Videobolt that is attributed to an Affiliate in accordance with Section 3.
“Commission” means the compensation an Affiliate may earn under
Section 4.
“Customer Discount” means the discount a Customer may receive on
their first paid subscription payment under Section 3.6.
1.4
By applying to the Program, or by generating or using an Affiliate Link, a person accepts
these Affiliate Terms. If a person does not agree, they must not participate in the
Program.
2. Eligibility & Approval
2.1
Participation in the Program requires submitting an application through the affiliate application form
and obtaining approval from Videobolt.
2.2
To apply, the applicant must hold a registered Videobolt account and must provide the
website or channel through which they intend to promote Videobolt.
2.3
Only natural persons may become Affiliates. An Affiliate must be at least 18 years
of age, without exception.
2.4
Videobolt will respond to an application within 14 days of receiving it. Approval is
at Videobolt’s sole discretion, and Videobolt is not required to give reasons for declining
an application.
2.5
Each natural person may hold and use only one Videobolt account for purposes of the
Program. Creating or using multiple accounts to generate additional Affiliate Links or
Commission is a violation of Section 6.
2.6
Videobolt employees and their immediate family members are not eligible to participate in
the Program.
2.7
An Affiliate cannot participate in the Videobolt Referral Program at the same time.
Attribution between links of the two programs is governed by Section 3.4.
3. How Affiliate Referrals Work
3.1
Once approved, a unique Affiliate Link is made available to the Affiliate by Videobolt
staff. The Program works through Affiliate Links only; no promo codes are issued
under the Program, and the Customer Discount, where offered, is applied through the
Affiliate Link.
3.2
The Affiliate may share the Affiliate Link through their own website, channels and
communications, in their own name and at their own responsibility. The Affiliate may not
send unlawful, misleading, or unsolicited bulk messages (spam) containing the Affiliate
Link.
3.3
Attribution window. If a person clicks an Affiliate Link and subsequently creates a
Videobolt account and makes their first paid subscription payment within 30 days of that
click, the payment is attributed to the Affiliate who shared that link. Payments by
persons who already had a Videobolt account before clicking the link, and payments made
after this window has expired, do not qualify for Commission.
3.4
Last-click attribution. If a person clicks Affiliate Links of more than one
Affiliate, or clicks both an Affiliate Link and a Referral Link under the Videobolt Referral
Program, the payment is attributed only to the Affiliate or referrer whose link was
clicked last before the person created their Videobolt account, provided that click
falls within the attribution window in Section 3.3. Earlier clicks do not generate a
competing claim.
3.5
A payment is attributed only if it is traceable by Videobolt’s tracking systems.
Ad-blockers, disabled cookies, or unsupported browser configurations on a Customer’s device
may prevent tracking; Videobolt is not responsible for payments that cannot be attributed as
a result.
3.6
Customer Discount. Each Affiliate chooses, when joining the Program, whether
Customers attributed to them receive a discount of 10% on their first paid
subscription payment, on both monthly and annual plans. The choice is made with Videobolt’s
partner team and cannot be changed later. Where offered, the Customer Discount applies to
the first payment only, does not apply to renewals or any later payment, and is
applied automatically through the Affiliate Link, with no code required.
4. Commission
4.1
An Affiliate’s claim to Commission first arises when a Customer attributed to that Affiliate
under Section 3 makes their first paid subscription payment to Videobolt.
4.2
Commission rate. The Commission is 30% of the Qualifying Payment where the
Customer subscribed to a monthly plan, and 20% of the Qualifying Payment where the
Customer subscribed to an annual plan.
4.3
One-time Commission. Commission is paid only on the Qualifying Payment. No
Commission accrues on renewals or on any later payment made by the same Customer. There
is no cap on the Commission an Affiliate may earn in total.
4.4
Only paid subscriptions qualify. Other purchases, including one-time purchases and
purchases of other products, do not generate Commission.
4.5
Calculation basis. Commission is calculated on the amount actually received by
Videobolt for the Qualifying Payment, after application of the Customer Discount, if any,
and net of taxes (such as VAT or sales tax) and payment processor fees.
4.6
Commission is considered earned when the Qualifying Payment is received by Videobolt,
subject to Section 6.4. No holdback period applies.
4.7
The same Commission rates apply to all Affiliates. The Customer owes no payment to, and has
no obligation toward, the Affiliate. Commission is payable exclusively by Videobolt.
4.8
The terms of the Program (including the rates in Section 4.2) are those in effect at the
time the Qualifying Payment is received, and may change prospectively as described in
Section 9.
5. Payment of Commission
5.1
Commission is paid via PayPal only. The Affiliate is responsible for providing a
valid PayPal account and keeping it up to date. If the Affiliate needs to create a PayPal
account to receive payment, this is done in the Affiliate’s own name and at the Affiliate’s
own cost.
5.2
Amounts are calculated and paid in USD.
5.3
Payout threshold. Earned Commission is paid out once the Affiliate’s accumulated,
unpaid balance reaches $200. Balances below this threshold roll over and accumulate
until the threshold is met.
5.4
Payout cycle. On the 1st day of each month, Videobolt reviews Affiliates’
balances. If an Affiliate’s accumulated, unpaid balance has reached the threshold in Section
5.3 and a valid PayPal account has been added to the Affiliate’s Videobolt account by
that day, Videobolt schedules the payout and pays out the balance on the 15th day of the
same month, or on the first business day after the 15th if the 15th is not a business
day. If PayPal rejects or returns a payout, the amount is credited back to the Affiliate’s
balance and paid out in the next payout cycle.
5.5
Any fees charged by PayPal or other third-party payment providers for receiving the payout
are the Affiliate’s responsibility.
5.6
Affiliates who are residents of Serbia are subject to Serbian laws and regulations,
which require them to either have a registered sole proprietorship or limited liability
company (d.o.o.), or to sign a contract with us. Based on this, payments will be made to
them accordingly, and taxes and contributions on these payments are paid in accordance
with Serbian law.
5.7
Videobolt does not require Affiliates outside Serbia to submit an invoice or a tax form as a
condition of payout.
5.8
Risk and compliance checks. Videobolt may delay crediting or paying out Commission
while it carries out risk assessment, fraud prevention or anti-money laundering checks.
6. Prohibited Conduct & Enforcement
6.1
An Affiliate must use the Program only for its intended purpose and only through lawful
means. Without limitation, an Affiliate must not:
1.
take any fraudulent action in connection with the Program;
2.
use paid advertising (search engine marketing, PPC campaigns, social media ads) to
promote an Affiliate Link without Videobolt’s prior written authorization;
3.
bid on “Videobolt” or any confusingly similar term as a keyword in paid advertising
campaigns without Videobolt’s prior written authorization;
4.
use misleading or deceptive marketing practices, including false claims,
impersonation of Videobolt, or coercion to obtain sign-ups;
5.
make misleading claims about Videobolt’s products, pricing, discounts or features,
including by presenting the Customer Discount as a general or recurring discount or
promising Customers any additional discount or benefit;
6.
create or use multiple accounts to generate additional Affiliate Links or
Commission;
7.
manipulate tracking, including self-referrals, automated traffic, bots, fabricated
sign-ups, or cookie stuffing;
8.
send Affiliate Links via spam or other unsolicited messages, including unsolicited
mass messaging (messages to people who have opted in to receive the Affiliate’s own
newsletter or channel updates are not restricted by this item);
9.
use friends, family members, or third parties to circumvent the self-referral
restriction;
10.
misrepresent their relationship with Videobolt or imply an official partnership or
endorsement that does not exist;
11.
post Affiliate Links on coupon, deal-sharing, cashback or similar sites, or generate
incentivized or cashback traffic (traffic obtained by offering rewards in exchange
for clicking or signing up);
12.
register or use typosquatting domains or other domain names confusingly similar to
Videobolt’s;
13.
promote Videobolt on or alongside adult content, pirated or illegally obtained
software, or content promoting hate or discrimination; or
14.
share an Affiliate Link in a way that violates the terms or policies of the website,
platform or social network where it is shared.
6.2
The Affiliate is responsible for reviewing and complying with all applicable local laws and
regulations regarding advertising, consumer protection, and promotional disclosures,
including determining whether they are required to disclose their relationship with
Videobolt and the fact that they may earn a Commission from purchases made through their
Affiliate Link. Where required, such disclosures must be clear, conspicuous, and
appropriately presented alongside the Affiliate Link or related promotional content.
6.3
Consequences of violation. If an Affiliate violates these Affiliate Terms, Videobolt
may, at its discretion and without prior notice: (i) suspend the Affiliate from the Program
or terminate their participation with immediate effect; and/or (ii) forfeit any Commission
already earned but not yet paid out.
6.4
Clawback. If a Customer’s payment that generated Commission is later refunded or
charged back, Videobolt may cancel the corresponding Commission if it has not yet been paid,
or deduct the corresponding, already-paid Commission from the Affiliate’s future payouts
under the Program.
6.5
An Affiliate who violates these Affiliate Terms shall indemnify Videobolt against
third-party claims and reasonable, documented expenses resulting from that violation.
7. Use of the Videobolt Brand & Customer Data
7.1
The Affiliate may not use the Videobolt logo, trademarks or other brand assets in
their own marketing, advertising, or promotional materials without Videobolt’s prior written
permission. This does not prevent the Affiliate from using the Videobolt name in plain text
to refer truthfully to Videobolt and its products, or from showing videos, screenshots and
screen recordings they made on the Videobolt platform.
7.2
Nothing in these Affiliate Terms grants the Affiliate any right or license to Videobolt’s
intellectual property beyond what is expressly stated in the General Terms.
7.3
The Affiliate does not receive personal data of Customers or of persons who click an
Affiliate Link through the Program. The Affiliate must not collect, request, or attempt to
obtain such personal data through the Program or Videobolt’s systems.
7.4
The Affiliate must not adopt any trademarks, trade names, slogans or URLs that are
confusingly similar to Videobolt’s, and must not make false or defamatory statements about
Videobolt or its products. Honest opinions and reviews are not restricted.
8. Taxes
8.1
The Affiliate is solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes
owed on Commission received under the Program, under the laws of the jurisdiction applicable
to the Affiliate.
8.2
Videobolt does not withhold taxes from Commission payouts and does not issue tax
forms or documentation in connection with the Program.
8.3
Sections 8.1 and 8.2 do not apply to Affiliates who are residents of Serbia. For them, taxes
are paid in accordance with Serbian law, as set out in Section 5.6.
9. Term, Changes & Termination of the Program
9.1
The Program runs for an indefinite period.
9.2
Changes. Videobolt may change these Affiliate Terms or end the Program. Changes that
are less favorable to Affiliates (such as lower Commission rates, a higher payout threshold,
a shorter attribution window or removing the Customer Discount), and ending the Program,
take effect no earlier than 14 days after Videobolt notifies Affiliates via their
account or the email address on file. Other changes, such as corrections and clarifications,
take effect when posted on this page. By continuing to participate after a change takes
effect, the Affiliate accepts it.
9.3
Earned Commission is kept. A change or the end of the Program applies only going
forward. Commission earned under Section 4.6 before it takes effect remains payable under
Sections 5 and 6 or, if the Program ends, as set out in Section 9.4.
9.4
Ending the Program. If Videobolt ends the Program, each Affiliate’s earned, unpaid
Commission balance is settled as follows, subject to Section 6: a balance that has reached
the payout threshold in Section 5.3 is paid out in the next payout cycle under
Section 5, and a balance below the threshold is compensated with a Videobolt subscription
of equivalent value, based on Videobolt’s list prices, applied to the Affiliate’s
Videobolt account. The subscription cannot be exchanged for cash.
9.5
The Affiliate may leave the Program at any time by giving Videobolt at least 14 days’
notice at the contact address in Section 12.5. Any earned balance below the payout threshold
in Section 5.3 on the date the Affiliate leaves is not paid out and is forfeited.
9.6
Suspension during review. If Videobolt reasonably suspects a violation of Section 6,
it may suspend the Affiliate without prior notice while it reviews the case. Payouts are
paused during the suspension. If no violation is found, the suspension is lifted and the
paused Commission is paid in the next payout cycle, subject to Section 5. If a violation is
confirmed, Section 6.3 applies.
9.7
Videobolt may terminate or suspend an individual Affiliate’s participation in the Program,
or disable an Affiliate Link, at any time and at its sole discretion, including
without cause. If the termination is due to a violation of these Affiliate Terms or the
General Terms, Videobolt may forfeit any Commission earned but not yet paid out, as
in Section 6.3. Any Commission that is not forfeited remains payable, subject to Section 5.
9.8
When the Affiliate’s participation in the Program ends for any reason, the Affiliate must
immediately stop using and remove all Affiliate Links and any Videobolt materials
provided under the Program from their website and channels.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
10.1
The Program is provided “as is.” Videobolt disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or
implied, regarding the Program, including the availability of Affiliate Links, the accuracy
of tracking, or the continuity of the Program.
10.2
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Videobolt, its suppliers, and its
licensors shall have no liability of any kind – whether direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential – arising out of or in connection with the Program, an
Affiliate’s participation in it, or Commission (whether earned, disputed, delayed, or
forfeited).
10.3
Where applicable law does not permit a full exclusion of liability, Videobolt’s total
liability arising out of or in connection with the Program is limited to the total
Commission amounts paid to the Affiliate in the twelve (12) months preceding the event
giving rise to the claim.
10.4
Nothing in this Section 10 excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable
mandatory law.
10.5
Videobolt is not liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these
Affiliate Terms caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural
disasters, epidemics, fire, strikes, failures of public or private telecommunications
networks, or acts, decrees, legislation or restrictions of any government.
11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
11.1
These Affiliate Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Program, are
governed by the laws of the Republic of Serbia, consistent with the General Terms.
11.2
The courts of Belgrade, Serbia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising
out of or in connection with the Program, except to the extent mandatory consumer-protection
law in an Affiliate’s country of residence provides otherwise.
12. General Provisions & Contact
12.1
These Affiliate Terms, together with the General Terms, constitute the entire agreement
between Videobolt and the Affiliate regarding the Program, and supersede any prior
understanding on the subject.
12.2
The Affiliate is an independent, non-exclusive partner. Nothing in these Affiliate
Terms creates an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between Videobolt and the
Affiliate, and nothing restricts the Affiliate from promoting other products. The Affiliate
acts solely on their own behalf, in their own interest, and at their own account. The
Affiliate has no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on Videobolt’s
behalf.
12.3
An Affiliate may not assign their rights or claims under these Affiliate Terms to a third
party without Videobolt’s prior written consent. Videobolt may assign its rights and
obligations under these Affiliate Terms without condition, including in connection with a
merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
12.4
If any provision of these Affiliate Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be construed to
reflect the parties’ original intent as closely as possible.
