AFFILIATE INFO TERMS.
Last updated august 28, 2022
By signing up to be an affiliate in the DEBS Affiliate Program (the “Program”) you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”). Please ensure that you read them carefully before signing up. These Terms are a legal agreement between RIEN Network AB, a company registered in Sweden under company number 559323-5277 and having its registered office at Medevi 345, 59197, Motala, Sweden (“DEBS”, “RIEN Network AB”, “we”, “us”) and You (the “Affiliate”, “you”).
We reserve the right to update and change the Terms from time to time without notice. Any amendments, modifications, enhancements, or changes to the Program, including the release of new features and resources made available by us from time to time, shall be subject to these Terms. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Any violation of these Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to be an Affiliate and forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate referral fee payments earned during the violation.
Account Registration & Terms
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested to complete the sign-up process for an Affiliate account (“account”). After being accepted into the affiliate program, you must also fill in the correct information under the affiliate dashboard's settings tab.
You must be 18 years of age or older to join this Program.
Each account is for use by either a single legal entity. We do not permit you to share your username and password with any other person or with multiple users on a network. Responsibility for the security of any user names and passwords issued (including those of any Invitees) rests with you.
You may not use the Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Program, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
Referral Links & Promotion
Once you have signed up for the Program, you will be provided with a URL link that must be used to identify you when placing a link from your platforms to the DEBS website. It is your responsibility to ensure each such link is correctly formatted. You can format these links in the affiliate dashboard. From time to time, you may find coupon codes that you can offer your audience; these coupons can also be found in your affiliate dashboard.
You may use product images from the DEBS website to promote DEBS. You may not modify these images in any way. We reserve the right to change the images at any time without notice.
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your platforms and for all materials that appear on your platforms.
Unless we have given our advanced written consent, you may not use our name or graphics in any spammy bulk email; if you have a newsletter, that is the only okay form of bulk emailing. We may terminate the Agreement if any meaningful spam complaints naming us or our services result from your marketing activities.
You may not issue any press release concerning this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between you and us, say you develop our Services, say you are part of DEBS, or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Referral Fees
For the sale to be eligible for a referral fee, the customer must click through a link from your platforms, email, or other communications to the DEBS website and purchase a product within two days of the first website entry; there are no time limitations if a discount code connected to the affiliate is used! Suppose they fail to order within the 2-day period and do not use the affiliate discount code connected to the affiliate after these two days. In that case, the affiliate will not earn a referral fee.
We will only pay referral fees on links automatically tracked and reported by our systems. The visitor must have cookies enabled or use the affiliate's custom discount code for our systems to track the referral; if you have a coupon available for your audience, the commission will be tracked regardless of cookies being turned on or off. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you, but our system did not track it.
The standard referral fee is 7% of our revenue from customers you refer (per order); custom referral fees can be applied. The referral fee will be credited to your Affiliate account once the customer pays their order. Referral fees are only earned if a customer makes a payment in full.
Payment
Accrued referral fees are paid out on request via bank transfer or Paypal payout and only when your accrued referral fees total $200 or more. The Affiliate will then raise an invoice to DEBS for the indicated amount, the invoice can automatically be created in the affiliate dashboard with the information provided under the settings tab, or you can manually upload your own invoice with the information given to you in the affiliate dashboard. You must have a valid bank account or Paypal account to receive referral fees, as we do not offer payment via cheque/check, credit card, cash, or another method.
Customer payments refunded or payments charged back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for referral fees. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.
A summary of orders and statement of referral fees is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate dashboard.
The referral fee structure is subject to change at our discretion.
We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees from fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, charges, levies, assessments, and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of and payable by you.

Every customer who buys a product through this program is deemed a customer of DEBS. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies and operating procedures concerning pricing, customer orders, customer service, and services sales will apply to those customers.

Copyrighted and Trademarked material
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your reviews, product descriptions, social media posts, and articles (if applicable at your site & platform) obey all applicable copyright, trademark, and other laws.

DEBS, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other DEBS service, for any reason at any time.

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform or delay in the performance of any of our obligations hereunder that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”).

(e) the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations, or restrictions of any government.
Our performance is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavors to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these Terms may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
Waiver
If we fail, at any time to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled hereunder, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.
Severability
If any of these Terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition, or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Entire agreement
