La vente a été réalisée grâce à vos efforts de référencement. Nous déterminons que si l’un des éléments suivants est vrai :
Au moment de la commande, le client a un cookie actif vous indiquant comme le dernier affilié qui l’a référé à notre site web, à condition que le client n’ait pas atteint notre site web par le biais d’un moteur de recherche avec une chaîne de recherche ne contenant pas le nom FastHosting ;

Le client a effectué sa commande sans aucune assistance de votre part, y compris lorsque vous agissez au nom du client.

6. Commission Payments

FastHosting paiera toutes les commissions d’affiliés sur la base de la structure et dans la devise décrites sur la page d’inscription du programme d’affiliation, à moins qu’un accord personnalisé n’existe par écrit. Toutes les commissions gagnées pour des ventes valides seront payées après une période de rétention de 120 jours. Nous nous réservons le droit de prolonger la période de rétention, comme indiqué dans les CGU et sans préavis, aussi longtemps qu’il est raisonnablement nécessaire pour établir la validité d’une vente.

Nous procédons au paiement des commissions une fois par mois ou moins souvent, selon vos préférences. Les commissions sont payées dès que le montant du retrait atteint 100 CHF ou l’équivalent de 100 CHF selon le taux de change mensuel moyen de toute autre devise utilisée par le client. Les commissions d’affiliation sont payées par virement bancaire et vous êtes responsable de tous les frais de transaction, à moins qu’un accord particulier ne s’applique.

Vous êtes seul responsable de la mise à jour de toutes vos informations, y compris vos adresses postale et électronique, votre nom, vos informations de paiement, vos informations fiscales et toute autre information personnelle susceptible d’avoir une incidence sur notre capacité à traiter le paiement d’une commission. Nous suspendrons le versement des commissions jusqu’à ce que nous disposions de toutes les informations requises, y compris vos informations fiscales. Le paiement des commissions suspendues peut être réclamé jusqu’à trois mois après la date à laquelle elles auraient dû être payées à l’origine.

Nous pouvons suspendre le paiement de vos commissions à tout moment et pour toute période si nous soupçonnons une activité frauduleuse ou inappropriée ou une violation potentielle du présent accord de votre part ou de la part d’un client que vous nous recommandez.

Nous nous réservons le droit de déduire de vos commissions actuelles et futures toutes les commissions payées pour des ventes frauduleuses, douteuses ou annulées.
