Affiliates Terms
Description
The Affiliate Program permits you to monetise your website, social media user-generated content, or online software application (referred to here as your “Site”), by placing on your Site links to noble-pro.com or, if applicable for the location, any other site which is included in the Affiliates Program Commission Income Statement (each a “NoblePro Site”). The links provided on the Affiliates Site must be properly used with the special “tagged” link formats provided and comply with this Agreement (“Special Links”).
When our customers click through the Special Links to purchase an item sold or services offered on the NoblePro Site or take other actions, you can receive commission income for qualifying purchases, as further described in (and subject to the limitations in) the Affiliate Program Commission Income Statement.
In order to facilitate your advertisement of these items or services, we may make available to you: data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools, application program interfaces, and other information in connection with the Affiliates Program (“Program Content”). Program Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to product offerings on any site other than the NoblePro Site.
Compliance Requirements
You must comply with this Agreement to participate in the Affiliates Program and receive commission income.
If you violate this Agreement, or if you violate any terms and conditions of any other applicable NoblePro marketing agreement, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently (to the extent permitted by applicable law) cease payment of (and you agree you will not be eligible to receive) any and all commission income otherwise payable to you under this Agreement, whether or not directly related to such violation without notice and without prejudice to any right of NoblePro to recover damages in excess of this amount.
Customers
Our customers are not, by virtue of your participation in the Affiliates Program, your customers. As between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on the NoblePro Site will apply to those customers and may be changed at any time. You will not handle or address any contact with any of our customer orders, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a matter relating to interaction with a NoblePro Site, you will state that those customers must follow contact directions on that NoblePro Site to address customer service issues.
Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate
You must clearly and prominently state the following, or any substantially similar statement previously allowed under this Agreement, on your Site or any other location where NoblePro may authorise your display or other use of Program Content: “As a NoblePro Affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.” Except for this disclosure, and other than as required by applicable law, you will not make any public communication with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Affiliates Program without our advance written permission.
You will not misrepresent or embellish our relationship with you (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, or endorse you), or express or imply any affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Account Management
An affiliate account will be created on your behalf on https://noble-pro.com which will act as your portal to the system. The portal can be accessed https://noble-pro.com/affiliate-area/ using the username and password provided via email during the registration process.
The following can be accessed via the portal:
Referral URL
Stats
Referrals
Payouts
Coupons
Settings (incl. payment information)
The Affiliate is responsible for keeping their personal and payment information up to date on the system.
Advanced Referral Links
It is possible to share a referral link that contains any coupons you would like to promote. The referral url can be combined as follows:
[ Referral URL ]?coupon-code=[ Coupon Code ]
Example:
https://www.noble-pro.com/ref/svb/?coupon-code=svb45
The customer is able to click on the link which will add the coupon at the checkout and if the purchase is successful will be attributed to your account.
Coupons
It is not acceptable to share coupon codes which are visible to the general public. The use of referral links which contain referral links are permitted and can be shared publicly. This is to avoid coupon sites to take advantage of the offering. any abuse of coupon codes could lead to deactivation of the coupon or termination of your account.
The use of coupons might be restricted to one coupon per purchase. This means that customers might not be able to apply two or more coupons to the same purchase. The customers will be notified during the checkout process if there are any restrictions to coupon use.
Commission Income and Payout
The commission income is based on a tiered system that will automatically increase the commission based on monthly sales revenue which resets on the first day of every month. The commission statement will be paid approximately 60 days after the end of the month for which they are being paid using the payment details provided if your balance meets the minimum threshold. We must have your payment information on the system before we can make any payments.
Commission is earned after the order has shipped. You may notice that some items won’t appear in the Earnings Report after an order has been placed. There are multiple reasons this could happen.
- The order may have been cancelled before it shipped
- The order may have not shipped out yet (some pre-orders and out-of-stock items may have extended times until they ship)
- The system has marked the order as ineligible for commission income
