HelpSpot Partner Program Terms
By signing up to be a Partner in the HelpSpot Partner Program ("Program"), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms of Service").
UserScape reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Program, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.
Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account and forfeiture of any outstanding partner commission payments earned during the violation. You agree to use the Partner Program at your own risk.
Account Terms
- You must be 18 years or older to be part of this Program.
- You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the signup process.
- One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account.
- You may not use the Partner Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to copyright laws.
- You may not use the Partner Program to earn money on your own UserScape product accounts.
Links
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with a special link to be used in all links between your site, or other locations such as email newsletters, and the Product Sites. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Product Sites properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the Product Sites placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to sign-ups on a UserScape product site occurring directly through Special Links. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or correctly enter your Partner Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
Referral Fees, Commissions, and Payment
For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to a Product Site and purchase the product within 90 days of first clicking the Special Link. If they leave the site, come back after 90 days on their own, and then purchase a product, you will not earn a commission.
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they signed up or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted Special Links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive or questionable sales or marketing methods.
Commissions are 30% of the order price minus any discounts and taxes. The commission percentage may be other than 30% at UserScape's discretion. The commission rate may change at any time.
Payments
Commissions are paid by check or bank transfer around the 1st of each month. We only pay commissions on sales with no outstanding receivables or refund requests. This means that you will not be paid a commission on invoiced sales until at least 90 days after we receive payment in full on the invoice.
Identifying Yourself as a HelpSpot Partner
You may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of UserScape, Inc., or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause.
You may not purchase products through your Partner links for your own use. Such purchases may result, in our sole discretion, in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.
Customer Definition
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
Your Responsibilities
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
- The technical operation of your site and all related equipment.
- Ensuring the display of Special Links on your site does not violate any agreement between you and any third party, including without limitation any restrictions or requirements placed on you by a third party that hosts your site.
- The accuracy, truth, and appropriateness of materials posted on your site, including, among other things, all Product-related materials and any information you include within or associate with Special Links.
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights.
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal.
- Ensuring that your site accurately and adequately discloses, either through a privacy policy or otherwise, how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors, including, where applicable, that third parties, including advertisers, may serve content and/or advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors' browsers.
Compliance with Laws
As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions, or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those requirements are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program participant. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in the Program you will comply with all applicable laws, federal, state, or otherwise, that govern marketing email, including without limitation the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.
Term of the Agreement and Program
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of and remove from your site all links to any Product Site, all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. UserScape reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon program termination, UserScape will pay any outstanding earnings accrued.
Termination
UserScape, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other UserScape service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive or questionable sales or marketing methods. UserScape reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
Relationship of Parties
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 the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
Limitations of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits, or data, arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program, including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage. In addition, we make no representation that the operation of the Product Sites will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
Independent Investigation
You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. You understand that we may at any time, directly or indirectly, solicit customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this Agreement or operate websites that are similar to or compete with your website. You have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the Program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement other than as set forth in this Agreement.
Arbitration
Any dispute relating in any way to this Agreement, including any actual or alleged breach hereof, any transactions or activities under this Agreement, or your relationship with us or any of our partners shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of New York, and you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts, or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of New York, USA, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
The failure of UserScape to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and UserScape and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and UserScape, including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service.
