IMPORTANT: THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
BY SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND EACH AND EVERY TERM AND CONDITIONS
This AFFILIATE Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legally binding contract between you (“Affiliate”, “you”, or similar terms) and Joseph Heler t/a Eatlean (“Eatlean”, “us”, “we”, or similar terms) and applies to your participation in the Eatlean Affiliate Program (the “Program”). Any person or entity that participates or attempts to participate in the Program must accept this Agreement without change. By registering for the Program, you agree to this Agreement.
The Program permits you to monetize your social media user-generated content by placing on your social media profiles (“Your Profiles”) a personalized Affiliate coupon code (“Your Code”). When our customers purchase eligible goods from www.eatlean.com (the “Eatlean Site”) using Your Code you will be eligible to receive a commission for “Qualifying Purchases”, as further described (and subject to the limitations in) Section 3 below.
We periodically modify the terms of this Agreement. We might also choose to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Program changes, ends, or becomes part of an existing program, including our partner programs. If you don’t agree to the modification or replacement, you can choose to terminate your participation in the Program. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING ANY CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFICATIONS. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and us or our respective affiliates. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our or our affiliates’ behalf.
You will ensure that the information in your Program application and information otherwise associated, including your email address, mailing address, and other contact information, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Program and this Agreement to the email address then-currently associated with your Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.
You can update your information by emailing us at: info@eatlean.com
You must be at least 18 years of age. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a person under the age of 18, you represent and warrant that the minor is of legal age to participate in the Program, you are the legal parent or guardian of the minor whose rights are covered by this Agreement, that you have read the terms of this Agreement and consent to the terms herein and you will not revoke your consent.
You must have a PayPal account.
You must comply with this Agreement to participate in the Program and to receive Commissions.
You must promptly provide us with any information that we request to verify your compliance with this Agreement.
You must clearly state the following, or any substantially similar statement (the “Disclosure”) on Your Profiles: “As An Eatlean Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
You must be kind and respectful to all other Affiliates.
Your Code is for you to post solely in Your Profiles. Participation in the Program does not grant you any rights to sell Eatlean items at events of any kind unless you have received express written permission by us.
You must not comment with Your Code on any Eatlean social media posts or channels (i.e. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), even if you see another Affiliate doing it.
You must not post Your Code in the comments of any posts from Eatlean accounts or stores who list our products.
You must not enter into any retail stores that sell Eatlean goods and share Your Code with customers.
DO NOT add Your Code to coupon sites, it’s cheating! We check these sites frequently.
Remember that the purpose of the Program is to bring new clients to the brand and help spread the Eatlean word.
Your breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement between you and us, or in connection with the Program (e.g. the PayPal User Agreement, Refersion Terms of Use, Google Terms of Use and Privacy Policy) then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently (to the extent permitted by applicable law) withhold (and you agree you will not be eligible to receive) any and all Commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement, whether or not directly related to such violation without notice and without prejudice to any right of Eatlean to recover damages in excess of this amount.
We will pay you a commission with a base amount of no less than 5% of the price paid by the customer and actually received by Eatlean, before taxes and shipping, on all Qualifying Purchases (your “Commission”). A “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when (i) a customer uses Your Code to purchasing eligible goods from the Eatlean Site; (ii) the customer’s payment is successfully processed.
For example, if a customer uses Your Code to purchase a Eatlean cheese priced at £60.00 and Your Code provides the customer with a 10% discount, then once Eatlean receives that customer’s payment of £54.00 (£60.00 less the 10% discount of £6.00), you will be eligible to receive a 5% commission in the amount of £2.70
From time to time, we like to incentivize our Affiliates by offering increased commission rates for particular periods of time. For example, we may notify you that for a period of time all Affiliates will earn a 10% Commission on Qualifying Purchases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Purchases are disqualified and no Commission shall be due whenever (a) they occur in connection with a violation of this Agreement, or any other terms, conditions, specifications, statements, and policies that we may issue from time to time that apply to the Program; (b) any purchases that occur after termination of your Agreement; (c) any order where a cancellation, return, or refund has been initiated; (d) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the Eatlean Site through any advertisement that you purchased through participation in bidding or auctions on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include the word “Eatlean”, or any other Eatlean trademark (or variations or misspellings of any of those words, (e) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the Eatlean Site by a link that is generated or displayed on a search engine (including Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in such search engine’s network); (f) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the Eatlean Site by a link that sends users indirectly to the Eatlean Site via an intermediate site, without requiring the customer to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site; (f) any purchase by a customer, where such customer does not comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the Eatlean Site; or (g) any purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the Your Code is not properly formatted or inserted in the Eatlean Site’s checkout process.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accurately and comprehensively track Qualifying Purchases for the purposes of our internal tracking, and creating and distributing your Commissions. We may hold accrued Commissions for a reasonable period of time following any termination of this Agreement to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
We will pay Commissions in GBP via PayPal approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month in which they were earned. You are solely responsible for any PayPal fees, and any and all taxes. We are not responsible for any Commissions that are not received by you due to any suspension or termination of your PayPal account.
Payments made to you, as reduced by all deductions or withholdings described in the Agreement, will constitute full payment and settlement to you of amounts payable under the Agreement.
If any excess payment has been made to you for any reason whatsoever, we reserve the right to adjust or offset the same against any subsequent fees payable to you under the Agreement or any other agreement between you and us.
We may deduct or withhold any taxes that we may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to you under this Agreement. From time to time, we may request tax information from you. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we reserve the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) to hold any amounts otherwise payable to you in connection with the Program until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.
You acknowledge and agree that Eatlean’s customers do not become your customers by virtue of your participation in the Program. You agree to not handle or address any contact with any of our customers, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a matter relating to interaction with Eatlean, you will state that those customers must follow contact directions on the Eatlean Site to address customer service issues.
You represent, warrant, and covenant that (a) you will participate in the Program in accordance with this Agreement, (b) your participation in the Program, including without limitation, your creation, maintenance, or operation of Your Profile(s) will not violate any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, guidelines, codes of practice, industry standards, self-regulatory rules, judgments, decisions, or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you (including all such rules governing communications, data protection, advertising, and marketing), (c) you are lawfully able to enter into contracts, (d) you have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the Program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the information you provide in connection with the Program is accurate and complete at all times.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties will be extinguished, including any and all licenses granted in connection with this Agreement, except that the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement.
