Affiliate Program Operating Agreement

Updated: March 2023

Short Version:

1. Register for the affiliate programme HERE by providing all the required information. After approval use any pictures under the marketing tool to spread the news of your affiliation. You will get a personal link and a coupon code for your followers (both will apply a 10% discount to your followers).

2. The commission for a successful purchase is 5% (excluding shipping), while you are giving a 10% discount to your follower.

3. If a follower purchase 1000€ or more in a single purchase, the commission for that purchase will be 10%.

4. Once you generate 1000€ of sales in a month, you will start to earn a 10% commission for any additional sale in the same month. We will calculate the amount manually at the end of the month to make payment to you. This ability will reset to 5% at the beginning of each month.

5. We may hold the commissions for up to 30 days, in case the order is cancelled. In the middle of a running month, we will make the commission payments earned the previous month.

6. The minimum payout amount is 50€. Your earning needs to accumulate up to 50 € before you are eligible to receive a payment.

7. Payments will be done via PayPal or gift cards from the shop according to your wish.

8. If ‘GoAffPro: the affiliate app’ do not recognize or consider your sale, we will not be able to link the payment to your account either. A “Session” begins when a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the love-smiths.com and ends upon the first to occur of the following: (1) the customer places an order for a Product; (2) 24 hours elapses from that click; (3) the customer follows a Link to the love-smiths.com that is not your Referral Link; (4) the customer remove the discount coupon manually during checkout. Except the case 1, all the other cases will not be considered a qualifying purchases by the GoAffPro software.
