Affiliate Agreement

What is it?

The Dewy Affiliate Program allows you to be an advocate for Dewy’s suite of hosted marketing automation solutions, and other solutions and services offered by Dewy (the “Services”) and make a commission on each new paying subscriber that enrolls for the Services through you. The Dewy Affiliate Program is a part of Dewy’s Partner Program, which is described in further detail below.

What do I do as an affiliate?

You’ll get a unique referral link after signing up to be a Dewy affiliate. Whenever you tell a potential new subscriber about Dewy and how we can help improve their marketing automation, just use that link, and we will take care of the rest. You can provide the link through a number of ways, including through your own promotional website, email campaigns, social media posts, blogs, videos, and even text messages, so long as you comply with applicable laws and our policies when doing so. When a new customer subscribes to Dewy through your referral link and continues their subscription through a “hold” period, you’ll receive a commission on their monthly payments as a Dewy subscriber.

What is an affiliate partner?

Affiliate partners are advocates for Dewy and refer Dewy to qualified customers. Affiliates receive a commission based on the number of new, paid subscribers that subscribe to Dewy. The terms of the Affiliate Partner Program are set forth in the Affiliate Partner Referral Agreement below. 

What does Dewy expect from affiliates?

We expect affiliates to act as advocates and ambassadors of the Dewy brand. This includes having an understanding and knowledge of how our Services work. Affiliates must follow the brand usage guidelines which includes proper use of “Dewy” and appropriate display of brand logos. Customer service is one of our top priorities. With that in mind, there are a number of rules that each affiliate must follow as explained in the legal terms below.

What does Dewy do to help affiliates be successful?

During your experience as an Dewy affiliate, we will send you updates of the latest improvements to our Services as well as information about updates to the Services to help potential subscribers choose our Service. As your performance as an affiliate develops, Dewy will provide additional materials and incentives to help you continue to grow. Dewy will provide a commission to affiliates depending on tiers determined by the monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) of currently active accounts they have referred at the time of billing. As your MRR increases from active accounts, so does the commission you receive from each billing. We may revise or change our pricing and commission structure at any time at our discretion. 

  • Silver Tier (10% commission): $0-$15,000 in active referred MRR
  • Gold Tier (15% commission): $15,000-$30,000 in active referred MRR
  • Platinum (20% commission): $30,000+ in active referred MRR

What are the next steps?

There are a few nuts and bolts that need to be completed before you can start making commissions on the new subscribers you bring in. First, you must:

  • Complete your affiliate application on our website;
  • File tax information documents provided at sign-up; and
  • Agree to be bound by the following legal terms that govern the program.

 

The Dewy Affiliate Referral Program Agreement

This Affiliate Referral Program Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation in Dewy’s Affiliate Referral Program for Dewy’s suite of hosted marketing automation solutions, and other solutions and services offered by Dewy (the “Services”). As used in this Agreement, “we,” “us” or “Dewy” means Dewy, LLC and “you,” “your” or “Affiliate,” means you as the affiliate participating in this program. “Affiliate Site” individually and collectively means your website and/or email communications and/or software applications. “Affiliate Referral Program” means the program we manage or control by which participating entities place links on their Affiliate Site that connect to the Dewy website and for which a commission is earned for new Dewy subscribers.

1. Participation

  1. You must sign up for an account to join the Dewy Affiliate Referral Program. In signing up for an account, you are agreeing to be bound by Dewy’s standard Terms of Service, including our Acceptable Use Policy, and Consent Policy. Once registered, and we have approved your enrollment, you become a participant in the Affiliate Referral Program. Current and former Dewy contractors, employees, and members of Dewy employees’ immediate family are prohibited from participation in the Affiliate Referral Program.
  2. We use PayPal to remit commissions to our affiliates. In order for us to pay you your commissions, you must have a PayPal account linked to the email address you used when registering for an Dewy account. PayPal is a third-party service provider, and your use of PayPal is subject to the terms and conditions of PayPal, Inc. Dewy will not have any liability or support obligations for any issues relating to your PayPal account.

Once you have signed up as an Affiliate under the Affiliate Referral Program, we will provide you with a unique referral link (“Link”) that links to an Dewy website to start the enrollment process. Whenever you tell a potential new subscriber about Dewy and how we can help improve their marketing automation, you or the potential new subscriber will just use that Link, and we will take care of the rest. You must use the Link; otherwise, we will have no way of tracking or knowing where the new subscriber came from, and we will not be able to pay you your commissions. To qualify under the Affiliate Referral Program, any new subscriber must not have been a previous subscriber to any of our Services.

  2. The foregoing license does not include the right to, and Affiliate will not modify the Marks in any manner, incorporate any of the Marks into any other trademark or service mark, or combine the Marks with any other words, logos, designs, service marks or trademarks.

We will have the right to review and monitor Affiliate’s use of the Marks. If there is any non-compliance with such guidelines and instructions, at Dewy’s request and direction, Affiliate will, at its sole cost, promptly correct any non-complying use of the Marks. Affiliate will not adopt brands, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade names or other marks which are the same as or confusingly similar to the Marks. Affiliate’s use of the Marks in any advertisement, web page, promotional materials, or other items shall be subject to Dewy’s prior review and approval, and Affiliate will furnish to Dewy an advance copy of each such items.

11. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Dewy and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

  1. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Dewy seek to bring an individual action in small claims court, you and Dewy waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Chicago, Illinois in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available at www.jamsadr.com and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
  2. YOU AND Dewy AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IS PERSONAL TO YOU AND Dewy AND THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
  3. You and Dewy agree that this Agreement affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 11 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. All disputes between Dewy and you will be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, consolidate more than one individual’s claims, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual, all of which are prohibited by this Agreement. You and Dewy agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Dewy will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Dewy, Dewy will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Dewy expressly agree that the state and federal courts of Los Angeles, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
  4. Any claim related to this Agreement must be filed within one year after the claim arose; otherwise, you and Dewy no longer have the right to assert the claim.
  5. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 11 by sending a written letter to Dewy, Attention: Affiliate Referral Program, 1 North Dearborn Street, 5th Floor, Chicago, IL, 60602, that specifies (i) your name, (ii) mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure specified above. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 12(c) of this Agreement.

Notices may be given via electronic means, including by Dewy sending an email notification to the address associated with your account or providing notice through our Services, and will be deemed delivered and given for all purposes on the sent date, but, in the case of notices to Dewy, only if Dewy has confirmed its receipt by return electronic mail.

Notices to Dewy will be sent to: Dewy, Attention: Affiliate Referral Program, 1800 Century Park East Los Angeles, CA 90067.
  5. You may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
  6. The failure of either you or us to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of the right to subsequently enforce the provision. Any remedies specified in this Agreement are in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law or in equity.
  7. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter covered by this Agreement and supersedes any other oral or written agreements regarding such subject matter, and may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized agent of each party.
  8. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable to any extent, such provision will be interpreted to best reflect the parties’ intent, and the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected and will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
