Feel Brands™ Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions
Updated January 15, 2020
Thank you for your interest in the referral program (the “Program”) of Feel Brands, LLC. (“Feel” Feel Brands™ “we” or “us”)! This Feel Brands Referral Program Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your participation in the Program. By participating in the Program, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement does not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Feel Brands, LLC, for products, services or otherwise.
- Program Overview. The Program permits you to receive compensation in exchange for referring customers that purchase Feel Brands™ products and/or services, including Feel Brands™ CBD supplements. If we accept your Program application, we will provide you with a hyperlink (“Link”) for display on websites and online services operated by you that are approved by Feel Brands, LLC for use in connection with the Program (“Your Services”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will pay you an agreed upon marketing fee of all amounts actually received by Feel Brands, LLC, less deductions described in Section 4 below, (“Marketing Fee”) from users that click on your Link and purchase any Feel Brands, LLC products or services.
- Enrollment. To be eligible to participate in the Program, you must accurately execute this agreement and agree to its terms. We reserve the right to reject your eligibility for any reason. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity: (a) you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind such entity to this Agreement and that such entity will be responsible for your and any other of its employees or agents activities in connection with the Program; and (b) references to “you” in this Agreement will refer to you and such entity, collectively. You may only participate in the Program if permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction and the terms of any agreements you may have entered into with third parties. To continue to be eligible for participation in the Program, you must generate at least US $100 annually in Marketing Fees.
- Program Portal. To participate in the Program, you will need to access Feel Brands’ online Program portal (“Portal”), which is accessible through a URL that Feel Brands, LLC will provide to you. You must comply with Feel Brands, LLC’s Terms of Service in connection with your access and use of the Portal. Use of the Portal is also subject to Feel Brands, LLC’s Privacy Policy. The Portal is considered part of the Feel Brands Services.
- Payment
- Payout. We will pay Marketing Fees to the payment method designated by you via the Portal, check, or other agreed upon payment method no sooner than 30 days from the end of the calendar month in which the Marketing Fees accrued, provided that the Marketing Fees payable exceed a minimum threshold of $100. If your Program account becomes inactive, any unpaid and accrued Marketing Fees may be subject to escheatment under applicable state law.
- Deductions. The Marketing Fees payable to you will be exclusive of taxes, refunds, and chargebacks, and we may offset such amounts against any Marketing Fees owed to you. You are responsible for any taxes payable in connection with the Marketing Fee, other than taxes payable in connection with our gross receipts or income.
- Limitations. Marketing Fees will not be payable to you for any purchase of Feel Brands products: (i) that is later cancelled, refunded, charged back, or for which Feel Brands, LLC does not receive payment; (ii) that occurred as a result of your breach of this Agreement, or while you were in breach of this Agreement; (iii) if the purchase does not occur within 30 days of when the user clicks on your Link; (iv) if, before making the purchase, the user has more recently clicked on the Link of another Program participant; or (v) that occurs after termination of this Agreement (collectively, an “Ineligible Transaction”). For clarity, Marketing Fees will be payable to the Program participant responsible for the Link that a user last clicks before purchasing any Feel Brands™ Products or Services. If we discover that we have paid you any Marketing Fees for an Ineligible Transaction, we may either require you to promptly repay the applicable amount, or we may offset such amount from future amounts payable to you under this Agreement. (vi) on which you already receive a revenue share or similar payment from Feel Brands, LLC

All goodwill arising from your use of the Feel Brands™ Marks will inure to the benefit of us.
