GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AFFILIATION
SwissBucks is the "Affiliate Management Department" of
registered to the Companies Index of United Kingdom. We have set up and run an affiliation program management service based on our software platform available on the Internet at http://www.swissbucks.com.
SwissBucks puts advertisers into contact with editor websites (Publishers) that have a content and an audience that complement the advertisers’ websites, or with sellers of commercial links or mailings. SwissBucks provides Publishers with access to affiliation programs defined by advertisers and posted online on the website http://www.swissbucks.com.
When a site becomes an Publisher, SwissBucks provides it with the promotional tools needed to participate in the Advertiser's program (banners, text links, deep links, kits, products feeds…, hereafter referred to as "Promotional Tools"). Depending on the type of program, the advertiser undertakes to pay the Publishers based on various criteria (for example whenever one of the visitors of their site goes to the advertiser's website (fixed rate per click), fills out a form (fixed rate per form) or places an order (sales commission). In this context, SwissBucks records and validates the results obtained and collects the payments owed to the Publishers by the advertisers in recognition of involvement in its advertising program.
These terms and conditions are designed to establish the mandate given by the Publishers to SwissBucks. Results are recorded by a system of monitoring Internet user activity on the websites of the Publishers and the advertiser (known as "Tracking"). The SwissBucks program uses computer resources to determine if and when an Internet user moves from the Publisher's website to the advertiser's website, using the Promotional Tool placed on the Publisher's website (by clicking on it). The software also makes it possible to establish whether the Internet user has filled out a form for CPL program or whether he has made a purchase for CPA program.
SwissBucks reserves the right to accept or reject, at its discretion and without having to give a reason, the subscription of Publishers to its platform and/or an affiliation program.
Affiliation candidates must make sure and guarantee that the website or websites in respect of which they are applying for affiliation comply with current laws and regulations, and that they do not infringe any rights of third parties, in particular as regards copyright or industrial property rights or image rights.
Subscription applications will not be considered if they come from websites that: - Do not comply with current laws and regulations and third party rights, and in particular that are of an illegal nature or that contain material of a racist or defamatory nature or that incite any form of discrimination or extremism; - Are liable to harm the image of SwissBucks or the advertisers or are simply incompatible with their commercial policy.
Websites that require a user/pass to enter or who want to promote behind a paywall will need to provide SwissBucks with the means of ensuring that their editorial content complies with the law and with the above conditions. Any significant change of the content of the Publisher's website should be notified to SwissBucks within 48 hours of the change.
Registration applications are made by completing the registration form on the website http://www.swissbucks.com/join. The prospective affiliation candidate, by applying for affiliation, certifies on his honor that he is the owner of the website domain name in respect of which he is applying for affiliation or that he holds the rights thereto and that he has the right and the capability to insert links to the advertiser's website. SwissBucks will notify the affiliation candidate that his registration has been approved or rejected by email to the address given on the application form.
Following confirmation of an Publisher's registration, the latter will have access to the promotional tools to be inserted in the pages of the website or websites. These codes must under no circumstances be modified or inserted in any other site than the one in respect of which affiliation was requested. Once the Publisher's application has been accepted by SwissBucks, the Publisher can apply for affiliation to the affiliation program offered by the advertisers on the SwissBucks website.
The Publisher is at liberty to decide whether or not to promote the various affiliation programs on offer by looking at the details posted on the SwissBucks website.
The Publisher is paid under the terms set by the advertisers in the affiliation program to which the Publisher chooses to belong. The type of payout (per click, per double click, cost per thousand, per lead or per sale) and the amounts are determined by the advertiser for each affiliation program. The payout conditions are subject to be changed by the advertiser, SwissBucks is not being held liable in this respect. Any changes of the payout conditions by the advertisers will be notified by email to the Publisher who will then have the choice whether to continue if he agrees to the payout changes or whether to stop broadcasting the program if does not agree with the new payout conditions. All payout terms and conditions are specified in each program. SwissBucks grants each Publisher access, through his SwissBucks account, to the activity report on each affiliation program that reports on operations performed on the advertiser's site via the Publisher's website and calculates the amount of payout that is owed. The Publisher's registration and the acceptance of these conditions that stems from it amount to the express acknowledgement by the Publisher that registrations made by the SwissBucks software platform resulting in the making of the report referred to the preceding paragraph, will be the sole method of proof acknowledged by the parties, and will therefore prevail for the purpose of calculating the commission owed to the Publisher. Commissions will be cancelled in the event of fraud, in particular in the case of the generating of artificial traffic towards the advertiser's website that does not correspond with actual visits by Internet users after visiting the Publisher's site, otherwise known as cookie stuffing.
Commissions shall be consolidated by SwissBucks on demand by the publishers request from the SwissBucks putout console on the basis of commission paid by advertisers to SwissBucks to that point of time. When the total amount of commission collected on behalf of the Publisher and received by SwissBucks reaches a limit of €100/$100/£100/CHF100, SwissBucks allow a request for payout. If the amount due is lower than this limit, payment shall be deferred until the figure of €100/$100/£100/CHF100 is attained. It is stipulated that SwissBucks in no way assumes the risk of non-payment by Advertisers of the commission due to Publishers, whether such non-payment results from the insolvency of the Advertiser or for any other reason. Consequently, SwissBucks shall only pay the Publisher sums it has previously received from Advertisers on behalf of the Publisher. If SwissBucks is forced to incur expenses to recover any sums due by Advertisers, these recovery costs shall be deducted from the amounts owed to the Publisher.
Fiscal status of the Publisher, If the Publisher is a private individual, and publishing is a secondary rather than primary activity, meaning that this business cannot be qualified as professional because of the low level of revenues and publishing contracts, the sums received must be declared as non-commercial profit as regards tax. If the Publisher's business becomes a primary one providing substantial revenues, the Publisher shall undertake to declare this activity to the competent bodies. This may entail the payment of tax and social contributions (incumbent on non-salaried workers).
PLEASE NOTE: private individuals are advised to take legal and tax advice to establish their obligations with regard to each particular situation.
The agreement herein is concluded for an unspecified period. It shall terminate as of right if the Publisher has ceased to participate in any affiliation programme for more than two years. The sums collected by SwissBucks shall then be paid to the Publisher if requested within 30 days of termination, if not claimed they shall be retained by SwissBucks as compensation. The contract may also be cancelled at any time by SwissBucks with notice of thirty days, after which SwissBucks shall be released from any obligations to the Publisher.
Under no circumstances may the Publisher make use of the name or trademark of SwissBucks for commercial or promotional purposes, especially for the marketing or promotion of similar or competing services. It is expressly agreed that the contract does not give Publisher any right to the program and data contained on the SwissBucks website. Program's data, governed by the intellectual property code, will remain the exclusive property of their authors.
The Publisher relieves SwissBucks of consequences of any claim by a third party or advertiser for whatever reason in relation to the content of its site. The design, staging and operation of the advertiser's affiliation program, in addition to any changes or interruptions, remain the full responsibility of the latter. The Publisher shall not produce any service, advertising or promotion for the benefit of an advertiser with whom he has been put into contact by SwissBucks, and this provision shall apply for a period of 12 months following the end of the advertiser's presence on the Publisher's site or from the end of the final transaction performed by the publisher on behalf of the advertiser.
If the general conditions herein are not respected, the parties may terminate the contract as of right after notification has remained without response for eight days. In the event of fraud, termination may be immediate and no commission registered prior to the fraud shall be paid to the publisher.
