When you register to be a partner in the CustomerSure Partner Programme (the “Programme”) you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”). Please read them carefully before you sign up.
www.customersure.com is operated by CustomerSure Limited ("CustomerSure", "we", "us") and we are registered in England and Wales under company number 07120998. Our VAT number is 995 1756 66 and our registered office is at John Buddle Work Village, Buddle Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 8AW.
You are only eligible to join the programme if you are 18 years of age or older.
You warrant that you are not an organisation which falls within any of the following categories:
These Terms are a legal agreement (the "Agreement") between CustomerSure and You (the ‘Partner’, ‘you’).
If you contravene these Terms we may take action including, but not limited to, termination or suspension of your rights to be a Partner and the forfeit of any outstanding referral fee payments earned during the contravention.
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address and any other information requested in order to complete the sign up process for a Partner account (‘Account’)
Each Account is for use by a single legal entity. We do not permit you to share your user name and password. Responsibility for the security of user names and passwords rests with you.
You may not use the Programme to earn partner fees on your own CustomerSure account.
We reserve the right to decline any applications for membership of the Programme at our absolute discretion.
Once you have registered for the Partner Programme you will be able to access one or more URL links which identify you when placing a link on your website, e-mail or other communications medium, to the CustomerSure website. It is your responsibility to make sure that links are correctly formatted. Links are unique to an individual Partner. If you alter links they may not work correctly and as a result you may not receive payment of fees to which you would otherwise be entitled.
We may provide graphical images that can be used in conjunction with the links. These images are associated with the CustomerSure brand and you may not modify or distort them in any way. We reserve the right to change images at any time and without notice.
The referral fee is 20% of our revenue from customers that you refer.
In order to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your site, e-mail, or other communication to the CustomerSure website and subscribe for their initial payment within 14 days of the initial click-through. If the customer does not subscribe within those 14 days and later returns without following your link, then a referral fee will not be payable.
The referral fee will be credited to your Partner account once the customer has paid each subscription payment. Referral fees are only payable in relation to customers who have made full payment.
We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems, unless we have agreed with you explicit alternative arrangements in writing. For our systems to track the referral, the customer must have cookies enabled. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system.
Payment will normally be made to you via PayPal once per month. Payments are made once the balance on your account has reached £50 or more. If the balance is less than £50 when the monthly payments are made it will be carried forward until the balance exceeds £50.
You must have a valid PayPal account to receive referral fees.
Our referral tracking system allows you to log in and view your partner account which contains details of the account activity and payments due to you.
Where the customer has paid a subscription in a currency other than Pounds Sterling (GBP), we will convert and credit your account with the associated referral fees in Pounds Sterling according to the exchange rates used by PayPal from time to time and subject to any charges they may impose.
If any customer payments are refunded, charged back or involved in credit card fraud or other investigations they will not qualify for referral fees. We may delay the crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and any applicable Anti-Money Laundering requirements.
We may change the amount and structure of the referral fee programme from time to time at our discretion.
We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, aggressive or questionable sales or marketing methods.
All referral fees are exclusive of all taxes and charges and other fees of any kind imposed as a result of your involvement in this Programme and any such taxes, charges or other fees shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you. If your place of business is the UK, you are registered for Value Added Tax ("VAT"), and you provide a valid VAT registration number, VAT will be added to your referral fees.
Every customer who buys a service through the Programme is deemed to be a customer of CustomerSure. Accordingly, all of our terms, conditions, policies and operating procedures concerning pricing, sales and customer service and privacy shall apply to those customers.
We may change our terms, conditions, policies and operating procedures at any time. We are not responsible for any representations made by the Partner that contradict our rules, policies or operating procedures.
We may vary the prices and availability of our products and services from time to time. In order to avoid confusing or conflicting price information you should not display prices on your website. We will use reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular service.
In order to comply with UK Data Protection legislation, the following obligations apply:

You may not use our name or graphics in any bulk or repetitive e-mail distribution whatsoever unless we have given written consent in advance.

The Agreement may be terminated at any time by giving the other party notice of termination.
We reserve the right to terminate the Programme, or your membership of it, at any time. Following termination of the Programme, or your membership of it, we will pay the outstanding balance of your fees unless you have breached the Terms of the Agreement, in which case such payment will not be made.
Should the Agreement be terminated by either party for any reason, you agree that you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your website and other communications, all links to our websites and all the images and other materials provided under the Programme.

If we do not conform with the foregoing undertaking, we will, at our expense and in our sole discretion use our reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such breach promptly, or to fulfil our responsibilities in a suitable alternative way.

We shall not be liable to you for any failure to discharge our responsibilities under this Agreement which is caused by the act or omission of any party other than us or our authorised contractors or agents.
We do not warrant that your use of the Programme and the software and systems which administer it will be uninterrupted or error-free and we do not warrant that any information provided by us on our website or through the software and systems which administer the Programme is accurate or up to date or that any reports produced or analysis of partner accounts will be entirely error free. Such information, reports and analysis are provided for guidance only and should not be relied on by you in any way.
We are not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities (including your Internet connection) and you acknowledge that your use of the software and systems that administer the Programme may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such systems and communications facilities.
Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaching the Agreement is strictly limited to any legitimate outstanding balance due to you as a result of your participation in the Programme.
Nothing in our Terms or in the Contract excludes or limits in any way our liability:
We are not responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage, including but not limited to:
however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise provided that this clause shall not prevent any claims for direct financial loss that are not excluded by the foregoing clauses.

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications we send to you should be in writing. You accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic.

This Agreement is binding on you and us and on our respective successors and assigns.

We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of an Agreement, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Agreement.
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under an Agreement that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).
A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following:
Our performance under any Agreement is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Agreement may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
If we fail, at any time during the term of an Agreement, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Agreement or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Agreement, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in accordance with the procedures in these Terms.
If any of these Terms or any provisions of an Agreement are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining Terms and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Terms, our privacy policy and any document expressly referred to in either of them constitute the whole contract between us and supersede any previous arrangement, understanding or contract between us, relating to the subject matter of the Agreement.
We each acknowledge that, in entering into an Agreement, (and the documents referred to in it), neither of us relies on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (Representation) of any person (whether a party to that Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in these Terms.
Each of us agrees that the only rights and remedies available to us arising out of or in connection with a Representation shall be for breach of contract as provided in these Terms.
We have the right to revise and amend these Terms from time to time without notice including but not limited to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our systems' capabilities.
Continued use of the Programme after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You can review the most current version of the Terms at: https://www.customersure.com/terms/partner
