Apploye Affiliate Program
— Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Affiliate Program Terms of Service (the "Agreement") govern your participation in the Apploye Affiliate Program (the "Program"). By submitting an application, accepting an invitation, or using an Apploye affiliate link, you ("Affiliate", "you") agree to be bound by this Agreement.

Please read it in full before applying. If you are applying on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorized to bind that company, and "you" refers to that company.

This Agreement operates alongside the Apploye Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where a conflict arises regarding the Program specifically, this Agreement controls.

2. Definitions

• Affiliate Link — the unique tracking URL or code issued to you through our affiliate platform.
• Affiliate Platform — Tolt (available at affiliates.apploye.com), the third-party system we use to issue links, attribute referrals, and report commissions. We may change providers on notice.
• Referred Customer — a new Apploye account holder who qualifies under the Tracking and attribution section.
• Qualifying Revenue — net subscription fees actually received and retained by Apploye from a Referred Customer, excluding taxes, VAT/GST, payment processing fees, currency conversion costs, discounts, credits, refunds, and chargebacks.
• Commission — the amount payable to you under the Commission section.
• Apploye Marks — the Apploye name, logo, product names, and other trademarks or brand assets owned by Apploye.

3. Enrolment and eligibility

Participation is free. You must apply through the Affiliate Platform and provide accurate, complete information, including a valid payout account and any tax details we reasonably request.

We review applications and aim to respond within 2 business days. We may accept or reject any application at our sole discretion, without stating a reason.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and legally able to enter into contracts.

The following are not eligible to participate: current Apploye employees, contractors, and their immediate family members; parties on applicable sanctions or restricted-party lists; and anyone previously removed from the Program. If you become ineligible after acceptance, you must notify us in writing at sales@apploye.com, and your participation will terminate automatically on that date.

One person or entity may hold one affiliate account. Duplicate or linked accounts created to inflate earnings or circumvent a prior removal may be closed and any accrued Commissions forfeited.

4. Your relationship with Apploye

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or agency between you and Apploye.

You may not make representations, warranties, guarantees, pricing commitments, contractual promises, or service-level statements on Apploye's behalf. You may not negotiate contracts, issue quotes, accept payment from prospective customers, or hold yourself out as an Apploye employee, agent, or reseller.

You are solely responsible for the costs of your promotional activities and for reporting and paying all taxes on Commissions you receive in your jurisdiction. Apploye does not withhold taxes on your behalf unless required by law.

5. How you may promote Apploye

You are free to be creative, provided your promotion is honest and lawful.

You may promote Apploye through your own website, blog, newsletter, YouTube or podcast content, social media profiles you own or administer, review and comparison content, professional networks, communities where promotion is permitted by the community's own rules, and direct outreach to people who have consented to hear from you.

You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship wherever you share an Affiliate Link, in a way a reasonable reader would notice before clicking. You are responsible for complying with all applicable advertising and consumer-protection laws, including the U.S. FTC Endorsement Guides, EU/UK consumer and advertising rules, GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CASL, and any equivalent rules in your market.

You must not make false, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated claims about Apploye — including invented features, incorrect pricing, fabricated testimonials or reviews, guaranteed savings or income claims, or false statements about competitors. Only describe features and prices as published on apploye.com at the time of publication.

You may not enrol sub-affiliates or route traffic through affiliate aggregators or sub-networks without our prior written consent. Where consent is given, you remain fully responsible for their compliance with this Agreement, and we may withhold Commissions on non-compliant traffic.

6. Prohibited conduct

You shall not:

(a) Send bulk unsolicited email, SMS, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or forum messages, or post links in comment sections, unrelated threads, or communities where promotion is not allowed;

(b) Bid on Apploye Marks, their misspellings, or variations ("apploye", "apploye pricing", "apploye discount") on Google Ads, Bing, Meta, or any other ad network; use Apploye Marks in ad headlines, ad copy, display URLs, or display names; or direct-link paid ads to apploye.com. You must add Apploye Marks as negative keywords in any automated campaign, and may request written permission for specific keywords from sales@apploye.com;

(c) Register domains, subdomains, social handles, app names, or pages containing "Apploye" or confusingly similar terms; clone or frame the Apploye website; create pages designed to be mistaken for official Apploye properties; or run customer support in Apploye's name;

(d) Engage in cookie stuffing, forced clicks, iframe or pixel stuffing, typosquatting, adware, toolbars, browser extensions that inject links, traffic bots, click farms, or any tampering with tracking parameters;

(e) Post on coupon, deal, or voucher sites, or present an Affiliate Link as a coupon, discount code, or exclusive deal, unless we have agreed to a specific offer in writing;

(f) Use your own Affiliate Link to purchase an Apploye subscription for yourself, your employer, your own company, or an account you control, or arrange for others to route their existing purchase through your link;

(g) Rebate, share, or refund part of your Commission to a customer, or offer cash, gift cards, or other inducements in exchange for signing up, unless agreed in writing;

(h) Publish Affiliate Links alongside content that is adult, hateful, defamatory, harassing, violent, illegal, or that infringes third-party intellectual property; or

(i) Purchase leads or contact data for outreach, or use scraped personal data in breach of privacy law.

7. Tracking, attribution, and Referred Customers

Referrals are tracked by the Affiliate Platform using a cookie set when a visitor clicks your Affiliate Link. The attribution window is [60] days from the click. Where multiple affiliates have referred the same visitor, the last valid click before signup receives credit.

A Referred Customer is a genuine individual or business that:

(a) Clicks your Affiliate Link and registers a new Apploye account within the attribution window;

(b) Was not already an Apploye customer, trial user, active sales lead, or returning account holder at the time of the click;

(c) Provides accurate registration details; and

(d) Converts to a paid Apploye plan and completes payment.

No Commission is earned on free plans or trials that never convert, self-referrals, duplicate or fraudulent accounts, accounts created with false information, referrals attributed after the window has expired, upgrades or expansions on pre-existing accounts, or customers Apploye had already contracted with through a direct sales or enterprise agreement.

Attribution depends on cookies, browser settings, and third-party systems. Apploye is not liable for referrals lost due to ad blockers, cleared cookies, cross-device journeys, privacy settings, tracking outages, or platform errors. Reporting in the Affiliate Platform is our system of record, and our determination of qualifying referrals is final absent manifest error.

8. Commission

You earn 30% of Qualifying Revenue from each Referred Customer's subscription payments.

Commission is recurring for the first 12 months: Affiliates earn commission on payments made by the Referred Customer during the first 12 months of their paid subscription, subject to the Suspension and Termination section. Where a Referred Customer adds seats or upgrades, Commission is calculated on the increased Qualifying Revenue. Where seats are removed, or the plan is downgraded, Commission decreases accordingly. Annual plans generate Commission on the amount actually collected for that term.

Commission is calculated on net amounts actually received and retained by Apploye, after discounts, promotional pricing, taxes, and payment processing fees, and is not calculated on list price.

No Commission is payable on refunded, disputed, charged-back, or uncollected amounts. Where Commission has already been paid, we may deduct the corresponding amount from your next payout or invoice you for it.

Commissions accrue in a pending state for [30] days after the underlying payment clears, to allow for refunds, chargebacks, and fraud review. Commissions become payable once cleared.

Cleared Commissions are paid monthly, on or around the [15th] of the following month. Balances below the threshold roll forward.

Payouts are processed through Tolt, our merchant of record. You are responsible for maintaining a valid Tolt payout account and for selecting your preferred withdrawal method within Tolt. Payment provider fees, currency conversion costs, and bank charges are borne by you. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by incorrect payout details or third-party payment providers.

We may pause or withhold a payout while we review a referral, an account, or suspected fraudulent or non-compliant activity. We will notify you where practical and aim to resolve reviews within a reasonable period.

You must raise any dispute about a Commission calculation within 60 days of the relevant statement. After that period, the statement is deemed accepted.

If your account is inactive for [12] consecutive months with no new qualifying referrals and a balance below the payout threshold, we may close the account and forfeit the remaining balance, subject to applicable law.

We may change Commission rates, thresholds, attribution windows, or Program structure with 30 days' written notice. Changes apply prospectively to Commissions accrued after the effective date and do not retroactively reduce Commissions already earned.

9. Trademarks and brand use

For the duration of this Agreement, Apploye grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Apploye Marks and approved creative assets solely to promote Apploye in accordance with this Agreement and any brand guidelines we provide.

You may not alter, recolour, distort, or combine Apploye Marks with your own or third-party marks; register them as a trademark, domain, handle, or business name; or use them in a way that implies endorsement, employment, ownership, or an official partnership beyond an affiliate relationship.

All rights not expressly granted remain with Apploye. Goodwill from your use of Apploye Marks accrues to Apploye. The licence terminates automatically when this Agreement ends, and you must remove Apploye Marks and Affiliate Links from your properties within 10 business days.

You retain ownership of content you create. You grant Apploye a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to reference, quote, and share your public promotional content for Program and marketing purposes, with attribution where practical.

10. Confidentiality and data protection

You may receive non-public information such as unreleased features, pricing structures, roadmap details, and Program performance data. You must keep it confidential and use it only to perform under this Agreement.

Apploye does not share Referred Customer personal data with you. Aggregate referral statistics available in the Affiliate Platform must not be used to identify, contact, or re-market to individual customers.

Where you collect personal data in the course of promotion, you act as an independent controller and are solely responsible for your lawful basis, notices, consents, and data subject requests.

11. Compliance with law

You must comply with all laws applicable to your promotional activity, including advertising, consumer protection, anti-spam, privacy, sanctions, anti-bribery, and tax laws. You confirm you are not located in, and will not promote Apploye into, any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions that would make participation unlawful.

12. Removal from the Program

Apploye may remove any affiliate from the Program at our discretion. While we can remove an affiliate at any time and for any reason, most removals will be for one of the following:

• Bidding on PPC keywords that were not approved by our affiliate team.
• Using promotional tactics we consider spammy, including unsolicited bulk messaging and posting links in communities that do not permit promotion.
• Failing to disclose your affiliate relationship to your audience by reasonable means.
• Disguising an Affiliate Link as a coupon, discount code, or deal link.
• Posting Affiliate Links on coupon and deal sites.
• Referring yourself, your employer, your own company, or any account you control.
• Making false, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated claims about Apploye's features, pricing, or results, or disparaging competitors inaccurately.
• Manipulating tracking through cookie stuffing, forced clicks, bots, or tampering with tracking parameters.
• Registering domains, handles, or business names containing Apploye Marks, or operating properties that could be mistaken for official Apploye channels.
• Enrolling sub-affiliates or routing network traffic without our prior written consent.
• Any conduct that damages Apploye's reputation, brand, or customer relationships.

Where a breach is minor and capable of being fixed, we will normally notify you and give you a reasonable opportunity to correct it before removing you. Serious breaches — particularly fraud, tracking manipulation, and impersonation — may result in immediate removal without warning.

On removal, your Affiliate Links are deactivated and the Suspension and termination section governs any outstanding Commissions.

Removed affiliates are not eligible to re-apply, and may not participate through a new account, a related entity, or a third party, unless we agree in writing.

13. Suspension and termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, on written notice (email is sufficient). You may also close your account through the Affiliate Platform.

We may suspend your account and withhold pending Commissions immediately if we reasonably believe you have breached this Agreement, engaged in fraudulent or misleading conduct, damaged Apploye's reputation or brand, or violated applicable law.

On termination or removal:

• Cleared, undisputed Commissions accrued before termination remain payable on the normal schedule.
• Where termination or removal follows fraud, tracking manipulation, or serious breach, Commissions — including pending balances — may be forfeited, and we may recover amounts already paid on affected referrals.
• Recurring Commissions on existing Referred Customers cease, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
• You must stop using Affiliate Links and Apploye Marks and remove them from your properties.

We may modify or discontinue the Program at any time. If we close the Program, we will give 30 days' notice where reasonably practical and pay out cleared Commissions accrued up to the closure date.

The Trademarks, Confidentiality, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnity, and General sections survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

The Program and the Affiliate Platform are provided "as is" and "as available". Apploye makes no warranty that the Program, tracking, or reporting will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that you will earn any particular amount. Any earnings figures, calculators, or examples published by Apploye are illustrative only and are not a promise of income.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apploye is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost commissions, lost data, or business interruption, arising from or relating to the Program — including tracking failures, platform downtime, or the acts of third-party providers.

Apploye's total aggregate liability under this Agreement will not exceed the total Commissions paid to you in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

16. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Apploye, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, penalties, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from: your promotional activities and content; your breach of this Agreement; your misuse of Apploye Marks; your violation of any law or third-party right; or any misrepresentation you make about Apploye.

17. General

We may update this Agreement. Material changes take effect 30 days after we post the updated version or notify you by email, whichever is earlier. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, your remedy is to terminate your participation.

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your affiliate account without our prior written consent. Apploye may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Notices to Apploye go to sales@apploye.com. Notices to you go to the email address on your affiliate account. You are responsible for keeping that address current.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [VENUE]. The parties will attempt to resolve disputes informally by contacting sales@apploye.com before commencing proceedings.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect and the provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

This Agreement, together with any written program policies and any separate signed partner agreement, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Program and supersedes prior discussions. It is executed in English; any translation is for convenience only, and the English version controls.
