1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: THIS AFFILIATE TOS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND HOSTING.COM FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE HOSTING.COM AFFILIATE PROGRAM AS MANAGED BY HOSTING.COM'S INTERNAL PROGRAM (“AGREEMENT”). BY REGISTERING FOR AND PARTICIPATING IN OUR PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT SIGNUP FOR OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IF YOU ARE ALREADY A HOSTING.COM AFFILIATE AND DO NOT AGREE TO THE ENTIRE AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, THEN IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE ALL USES OF HOSTING.COM AFFILIATE MATERIALS AND ANY AFFILIATE LINKS TO HOSTING.COM WEBSITE.

If you are accepted to participate in our affiliate program and your site is thereafter determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable based on the criteria below, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement:

* Promotion of discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;
* Promotion of sexually explicit, pornographic or obscene content (whether in text or graphics);
* Promotion of illegal activities;
* Promotion of content that is in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
* Promotion of content related to liquor, tobacco, firearms, drugs, gambling, crime or death;
* Promotion of any unlawful behavior or conduct;
* Auto-traffic generators or traffic exchanges; and
* Any other material deemed inappropriate or offensive by Hosting.com.

2. CHANGES

Hosting.com reserves the right to make changes to this Agreement at any time and solely at our discretion. Continued participation in our affiliate program constitutes your agreement to any and all changes made to this agreement.

3. COMMISSIONS

Affiliates earn commissions based on the amount of sales they deliver each month as follows:

1-10 sales: $55/sale
11-15 sales: $75/sale
16-20 sales: $100/sale
21+ sales: $125/sale

Sales made before October 1st, 2016 are ineligible for the performance tier bonus.

* All new accounts are subject to a 45-day approval period.
* Each new sale must remain in good standing. Commissions will not be credited for sales that have been canceled, terminated, charged back, refunded, or have outstanding balances.
*All sales must originate from the affiliates unique tracking URL. The tracking URL we provide must not be altered. It is unique to each affiliate and any changes could result in inaccurate statistics generated and for commissions not to be credited for a sale. Please test your unique tracking URL each time you use it. Hosting.com will not be responsible for, nor give credit for, sales that do not have your unique tracking URL attached to it.
* Affiliate generated sales that do not meet these requirements, will not be eligible for commission credit.

It is to our sole discretion as to whether or not an affiliate sale is legitimate or not. Hosting.com reserves the right to deny commissions and/or performance tier increases for reasons including, but not limited to, poor quality affiliate traffic, conversions, low sale cost, high rate of cancellations and low renewals. We reserve the right to chargeback or deny commissions for faster or higher than normal cancellation rates. We also reserve the right to adjust commission rates below our base rate for performance reasons.

4. PAYMENT

Commissions are paid when affiliates reach a $100 commission balance. Commission balances that have not yet reached $100 will carry over to the next month until the $100 minimum has been reached for a period of 18 months and are thereafter forfeited by you and no longer eligible for commission. Commissions are processed on the 15th of each month and paid via PayPal. Payments will be made payable to the PayPal account you provided in your affiliate account. All funds are paid in U.S. dollars.

A corresponding W8 or W9 form most be on file with us before payment can be released. The form must be delivered by the 14th of the month to ensure payment on the 15th. We do not accept digitally signed W8 or W9 documents. All forms must be signed with a physical signature. We reserve the right to not accept a W8 or W9 form if we deem it to be incorrect or incomplete.

5. AFFILIATE RESTRICTIONS

The following restrictions apply to all affiliates. If at any time these restrictions are not adhered to, this Agreement will be terminated, you will be removed from the affiliate program and any unpaid commissions will be canceled and will not be paid. It is to our discretion whether these terms were violated.

You may not use the keywords coupons, discounts or similar terms in your search engine optimization, the title of the page or meta title without advanced permission, even if you have a custom code you are promoting. Whether an affiliate is classified as a coupon affiliate is the sole discretion of hosting.com's affiliate manager. Factors that could cause a site to be classified as a coupon site include coupon offerings especially from many different merchants and a focus on savings or deals rather than on the products and features of a merchant.

and including search terms that have "hosting.com", "A2 Hosting". This is in addition to any and all other variations of our trademark including but not limited to, "hostingcom".

7. FTC BLOGGING GUIDELINES

We strongly advise affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on hosting.com's products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs and other Social Media channels) and hosting.com must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the affiliate sites. FTC points out that when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product it is imperative that such connection is fully disclosed. FTC deems the relationship in an endorser-sponsor light, and believes that the end user has the right to understand that one exists [http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005endorsementguidesfnnotice.pdf]. We share the undergirding idea of this approach, and strongly encourage our affiliates to adhere to the FTC's rules. We also reserve the right to terminate relationship with any non-compliant affiliates.
