AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS OF SERVICE.

These Terms of Service are entered into by and between you and Willow and Pine LLC DBA SVG and Me (“SVG and Me”) and govern the terms of SVG and Me’s affiliate program (the "Affiliate Program"). BY JOINING THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AS WELL AS SVG AND ME’S TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY. Your participation in the Affiliate Program is conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms of Service and all terms, conditions, and notices contained herein. Please read the Terms of Service carefully. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Service, you must not participate in the Affiliate Program.

1. Eligibility for the Affiliate Program

To participate in the Affiliate Program, you must enroll through SVG and Me’s Affiliate Signup. SVG and Me reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any request to join the Affiliate Program for any reason. Affiliates must be at least 18 years old in order to participate in the Affiliate Program.

2. Referrals

You will receive commission for Qualified Referrals to SVG and Me. The amount of commission may change at any time and without notice.
"Qualified Referrals" mean customers referred by you to SVG and Me who: (1) click on your unique tracking link; (2) within 14 days of clicking on your unique tracking link, successfully purchase a course or membership; and (3) maintain an active account and membership with SVG and Me for a minimum of thirty-one (31) days.

Affiliates who share the same personal/company details, including but not limited to, last name, email address, IP address, website details, or commission payment details, as their referred customer will be deemed to have made a “Self-Referral.” Referral commission and any earnings associated with this type of “Self-Referral” will not be paid. SVG and Me, in its sole discretion, will determine the classification of any referral as a “Self-Referral.”

3. Commissions

Commissions earned on referrals become payable 30 days after the referred customer becomes a Qualified Referral. Your total commission amount must equal or exceed fifty US Dollars ($50) before receiving a payment from SVG and Me. If your total commissions for a given month are less than $50, payment will be held until 1) the total commissions equal or exceed $50 OR 2) the end of the quarter (based on calendar year).

If at any time a Qualified Referral files a credit card dispute, any earned Affiliate commission on the disputed charge shall become frozen in the your account until the dispute is settled. You will not receive any interest on commissions that have been frozen. If the dispute is settled in SVG and Me’s favor, any associated earned Affiliate commission will become payable to you. If the dispute is settled in the Qualified Referral’s favor, any associated earned Affiliate commission shall not be paid to you. If commissions have already been paid out to you, the amount of earned commissions on the disputed charges shall be debited to your account.

Commission payments will be paid in US Dollars and may be made via Paypal. You are responsible for paying all applicable fees associated with accepting payments, including but not limited to, currency conversion fees, transaction fees, withdrawal fees, deposit fees, and check cashing fees. Commissions are paid out on the first Friday of each month. You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including, without limitation, income tax liabilities, that arise from or in any way relate to any commissions paid out to you by SVG and Me.

SVG and Me reserves the right to request documentation in order to approve your account. These requests may be made at any time while you have an active account in the Affiliate Program. If requests for documentation are not responded to in a timely manner, SVG and Me reserves the right to terminate, deactivate, or not approve your account.

4. Marketing

You shall bear your own costs and expenses related to marketing and promoting SVG and Me and/or the Affiliate Program. SVG and Me is not obligated to reimburse or credit you for any marketing expenses. If SVG and Me does reimburse you for any marketing expenses, such reimbursement shall not create a duty or obligation to reimburse any future marketing expenses.

You may not engage in any of the following marketing activities and represent and warrant that your marketing practices do not violate any of these restrictions:
1. Affiliates shall not make any false, misleading, or disparaging statements with respect to the Affiliate Program, SVG and Me, its employees, its customers, its Services (as defined in SVG and Me’s Terms of Use), or its Affiliates.

11. Affiliates shall not engage in the advertisement of business-opportunity websites or use marketing practices that attract fraudulent or short-term customers.
12. Affiliates shall not engage in any marketing activity that may harm the reputation or credibility of SVG and Me, including using low-quality marketing materials, or advertising on any website that promotes violence, discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age, or any illegal activities, or violates the intellectual property or other rights of a third party.
