SERVIDIO TRAVELS AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
This Servidio Travels Affiliate Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by you undersigned (“Affiliate”) and Servidio Travels, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Servidio Travels”) as of the date of your clicking “I Agree” below. As a Servidio Travels affiliate, you have the opportunity to earn commissions from Servidio Travels services that you sell to other people. This Agreement sets forth your rights and obligations as a “Servidio Travels Affiliate.” By clicking “I Agree” you indicate that you have read and understood this Agreement and you will be bound by its terms.
- PARTIES. All references to “Servidio Travels” herein mean and refer to Servidio Travels, LLC, doing business as Servidio Travels, and Servidio Travels, LLC’s owner(s), members, affiliate entities, employees, agents, and each of their successors and assigns. All references to “You” and “Your” mean and refer to the Servidio Travels Affiliate who has executed this Agreement by clicking “I Agree”. Servidio Travels and You are each referred to herein as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”
- TERM AND TERMINATION. Your contract with Servidio Travels begins when You click “I Agree” and will continue month-to-month until either: (a) Servidio Travels cancels Your account due to Your breach (as determined by Servidio Travels in its sole and absolute discretion) of any of the terms of this Agreement, (b) you provide Servidio Travels with notice of termination, or (c) Servidio Travels (in its sole and absolute discretion), cancels this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is cancelled due to subclause (a) and (b) above, You forfeit all amounts owed to You or that may in the future be owed to You. In the event that Servidio Travels cancels this Agreement pursuant to subclause (c) above, You shall continue to receive any compensation owed to you pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon any termination by Servidio Travels, You will receive written notice, sent to the e-mail address you provided Servidio Travels and that is associated with your Affiliate profile. Such termination shall be effective upon Servidio Travels sending such termination notice.
- COMPENSATION. After You click “I Agree” to the terms of this Agreement, You will receive a unique Affiliate URL (“Your Affiliate Link”), which You will use to advertise. When another person (a “Potential Customer”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Potential Customer’s browser for a period of thirty (30) Days. When the Potential Customer uses Your Affiliate Link, the Cookie on the Potential Customer’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Servidio Travels Sale” In the event that a Potential Customer has multiple Affiliate Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale. You will be paid a commission in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of all net income received by Servidio Travels corresponding to any Servidio Travels Sale of a first-time customer (and not any subsequent booking by such Potential Customer) corresponding to Your Affiliate Link. For the avoidance of doubt, no commissions will be paid for any subsequent booking of a Potential Customer. Commissions shall only be paid on bookings of hotels, cruise fares, and park tickets. Commissions shall be paid to Servidio Travels Affiliates within sixty (60) days of receipt of payment by Servidio Travels from a Potential Customer and all corresponding third-party vendors. All amounts and compensation owed to You shall be calculated and determined at the sole discretion and judgement of Servidio Travels in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the Schedule of Additional Terms). Commission payments will be made to You, in accordance with the account details you provide to Servidio Travels, in accordance with the Schedule of Additional Terms (or as promptly as possible thereafter) and following Servidio Travels’ receipt of payment for a Servidio Travels Sale, subject to the other terms set forth herein. Your compensation amount must equal or exceed One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) before You receive a payment from Servidio Travels. If Your commissions for a given month are less than $100.00, Your commissions will be held until Your combined commissions equals or exceeds $100.00. All commissions are paid in U.S. Dollars. Depending on what payment processor or payment method is used, standard processing fees may be deducted from Your commissions payment. In the event that Servidio Travels conducts any contest or other promotion where compensation or other prizes are offered, if a winner cannot be contacted or is disqualified, Servidio Travels reserves the right to determine an alternate winner or not to award that winner’s prize, in its sole and absolute discretion. Servidio Travels does not guarantee the accurate tracking of commission compensation as such tracking may be affected by various factors, including but not limited to ad blockers, privacy settings, browser settings, or cookies settings. Servidio Travels shall not in any way be liable for any commissions which Servidio Travels does not trace to Your Affiliate Link.
- ELIGIBLE SALE Commissions are paid only for transactions that actually occur between Servidio Travels and a Potential Customer. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Potential Customer is not actually received by Servidio Travels, You will not be paid a commission on the transaction. If payment for a sale later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a commission was paid to You, then the commission will be deducted from Your future commissions. If Servidio Travels determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, no commission will be paid for such sale. If any commissions are paid for a sale that was produced fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, and the fraud or violation is discovered by Servidio Travels after payment, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future commissions.
- INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. It is agreed that You shall act as an independent contractor of Servidio Travels with respect to this Agreement and your role as a Servidio Travels Affiliate, and not as a partner, employee, agent, representative or other designation of Servidio Travels. You shall not have any authority to act for or on behalf of Servidio Travels or to enter into any contracts or agreements on behalf of Servidio Travels or to obligate Servidio Travels.
