2. Participation
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant Partner a non-exclusive, non- transferable license to refer our Services worldwide. Your Partner account is non-transferable and cannot be sold separately or in conjunction with the sale of
an existing site or business. The Services available for profit sharing may not include all of the Services that IDrive Inc. offers for sale. The Services that Partner chooses to refer are subject to the corresponding product-level agreement, as well as the policies
and agreements located on the corresponding product websites.
3. Description of the Partner Program and Partner Duties
Partner Program
The Partner Program offers a program whereby the Partners refer their customers to the IDrive Inc. Services. We provide the Partner personalized sign-up URLs for IDrive and IDrive BMR, to identify their referrals. The Partner receives
25% of qualifying subscription revenues (explained below) generated by their customers, which will be paid quarterly.
Note that the referred accounts have to be credit card based only. No check-based accounts are allowed. Commission payments are made only from funds actually received. We provide all
accounting, customer service and back-office operations. So just sign-up new customers and collect the revenue.
Links on Partner Site or Product
We will provide the Partner with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to our customized home page. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and referral fee accrual, we will provide the Partner
with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between our Site and the Partner’s site. Links to our Site placed on the Partner’s site or product pursuant to this Agreement and which properly
utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links”. The Partner must ensure that each of the links properly utilizes such special link formats. The Partner will earn the referral fees only with
respect to activity on our Site occurring directly through the Special Links; we will not be liable to the Partner with respect to any failure by the Partner to use the Special Links, including to the extent that
such failure may result in loss of commission that would otherwise be paid to the Partner pursuant to this Agreement.
Order Processing
We will process the subscription orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from the Partner’s site or product to our site. Upon sign up, an email will be sent to the email address on the customers' account verifying the sign up. If the link in this email is not followed, you may not receive
the commission for that account. If a user creates a free account, we will track the Special Links and the Partner will get the referral fees if they subscribe later. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we may establish periodically. We will be responsible for all
aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations, returns and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who subscribe by using Special Links from the Partner’s site or product to our site and will make
available to the Partner reports summarizing this sales activity. The form and content of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.
Referral Fee Schedule
IDrive and BMR Partner will earn referral fees based on Qualifying Revenues according to the referral fee schedule established here. "Qualifying Revenues" include revenues derived from the monthly base subscription charge for qualifying Services and may take into account charge backs and bad debt. As such,
the referral fee for yearly subscription accounts will be calculated on a pro-rated basis. Qualifying Revenues exclude bulk reseller accounts, over use charges, on demand storage charges and credit card processing fees.
Accounts created using any discount promotion code are excluded from this Partner Program. The current referral fee schedule is 25% of Qualifying Revenues resulting from subscription accounts on
a recurring basis. We will pay the Partner referral fees on a quarterly basis (described below). Once the Partner’s referral cancels the service, the Partner will no longer receive commissions for that
subscriber from the date of cancellation.
Referral Fees
For a subscription to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from the Partner’s site or product to our site and sign-up for a paid account.
We reserve the right to verify the 'qualifying revenues' as discussed in the 'Referral Fees' and 'Referral Fee Schedule’ paragraphs earned by the partner in the prior periods leading up to the termination of
the Agreement and may seek a refund of commissions paid based on the verification of up to a period of 2 years from the termination date.
Inactive Partner Cancellation
Partners must stay active by adding at least one new paid referral per year. In the event that a Partner's last referral is more than 12 months old the Partner's account will be cancelled on that day
and will be notified by email.
4. Prices
All prices for Services provided by IDrive Inc. to the Partner are in US currency. We have the right to revise our Service pricing and such revisions shall apply to orders received by us on or after the effective date of the revision.
5. Commission Payments
We pay the Partner referral commission on a quarterly basis for core services like backup, restore and sync; referral commissions are not applicable to add-ons. The payout date for referral commissions earned while participating in the Partner Program will be within thirty (30) days of the end of each quarter. It is the Partner’s responsibility to confirm that commission payments have been properly received.
Many factors may lead to non-receipt of commission payment including incomplete or non-submission of W-9, improper entry of tax identification number, current address not being updated, non-acceptance of PayPal payment, etc. Should a commission payment be incorrect or missed, the Partner has six (6) months to contact us and rectify the issue. If a commission payment issue is not rectified within the six month period, the Partner forgoes any errors in commission payment and no back payments to correct errors will be processed.
Commission Payments for Domestic Partners (Partners Based in the U.S.)
Domestic Partners may select to receive commission payments by PayPal, paper check or eCheck.
i. PayPal®
When signing up for the Partner Program, you will be requested to enter your PayPal email address.
If you do not have a PayPal account, then you can sign
up for one here.
If an invalid PayPal email
address is provided, your commission may be forfeited. Please refer to the PayPal account set-up
requirements for your country, which may be found here,
to ensure your PayPal account has the ability to receive payments from third parties. Transaction fees for PayPal will be the responsibility of IDrive Inc.
and will not be deducted from your commission payment. A ten dollar ($10.00) minimum threshold is required before payment will be made via PayaPal. If you
have not earned at least $10.00 in total commission for any given quarter, your commission will be forfeited for that quarter.
ii. Check
Domestic Partners who fail to enter a PayPal email address in the corresponding field during the Partner sign up procedure will automatically receive their commission payment via paper check. Checks will be mailed to the address provided during sign up. A ten dollar ($10.00) minimum
threshold is required before payment will be made via paper check. If you have not earned at least $10.00 in total commission for any given quarter, your commission will be forfeited for that quarter.
We may also send an eCheck instead of a paper check. An eCheck is simply an electronic version of a paper check, and the only difference is that you can receive it via your email. If you qualify for partner commissions, you will receive an email from Pro Softnet Corporation to accept your payment. This will be sent to your partner email address on file. You will have the option to deposit directly to a bank account, print and deposit in person, or make a mobile deposit. Fees may apply if you choose direct deposit option.
To use the eCheck, click on the link in the email and download the eCheck PDF. Print the check using any printer then endorse and deposit as you would do with any paper check.
Commission Payments for International Partners (Partners Based Outside the U.S.)
International Partners will receive commission payments via PayPal only. When signing up for the Partner Program, you will be requested to enter your PayPal email address. If you do not have a PayPal account, then you can sign up for one here. If an invalid PayPal email address is provided, your commission may be forfeited. Please refer to the PayPal account set-up requirements for your
country, which may be found here, to ensure your PayPal account has the ability to receive payments from third parties. Transaction fees for PayPal will be the responsibility of IDrive Inc. and will not be deducted from your commission payment.
Charge Backs
In the event a credit card charge back is initiated by a client of the Partner, we reserve the right to deduct an amount from your commission based on the amount of the charge back.
