We have created these Terms and Conditions to ensure a smooth collaboration, by making our affiliate partnership requirements clear and upfront.
Please read the entire agreement. By joining the Defense Distributors Affiliate Program you agree that you have read and understand this agreement and that you have the full right, power and authority to enter into and be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this agreement without the approval or consent of any other party.
1. Registration
Your application to become a Defense Distributors affiliate is subject to a manual review process in order to assess whether we’d make a good fit. The review process can take up to 3 business days and you will be notified via email with our decision.
By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive occasional emails from Defense Distributors regarding changes in the affiliate program Terms and Conditions, news and updates or other information relevant to you as a Defense Distributors affiliate.
You must provide us with accurate information regarding who you are, your business details and the website(s) and/ or platforms you intend to promote Defense Distributors. Please note that we reserve the right to decline your application at our sole discretion, without providing a rejection reason.
2. Commissions and payouts
Standard commission rate is 10% of the revenue of each new Defense Distributors purchase made by customers through your referral link.
Standard cookie duration is 3 days. Therefore, the customers have a 3 day time frame from the moment they clicked on your affiliate link to decide whether to purchase Defense Distributors products or not. If they purchase after the cookie has expired, commissions will unfortunately not be registered (unless they use your affiliate link again).
We have a 30-day grace period for potential refunds, therefore we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days and are not subject to any refunds.
Payments will be made in USD into your PayPal account monthly on the 1st of each month. Your payment email provided must be a valid PayPal email in order to properly function with our automatic payment system.
We reserve the right to lower or increase our standard commission rates at any moment and for any reason. You shall be notified via email 7 days in advance before such changes go into effect.
All commissions are subject to approval in order to be subsequently paid. Each commission’s status will be available in your affiliate program dashboard as “Pending”, “Unpaid”, “Rejected” or “Paid”.
