  • Partner will bear all costs and expenses related to Partner’s marketing or promotion of Evolv or Partner’s products or services associated with Partner’s participation in the Partner Program (collectively, “Partner Marketing Activities") in any area, location, territory or jurisdiction, unless otherwise determined by Evolv in its sole discretion.
  • In no event will Partner engage in any Partner Marketing Activities except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. In conducting all Partner Marketing Activities, Partner will comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and directives, including but not limited to those relating to email marketing and “spamming”.
  • Without limiting the generality of Section 1.1.2, Partner will (i) not send any email regarding Evolv to any individual or entity that has not requested such information; (ii) always include Partner’s contact information and “unsubscribe” information in any email regarding Evolv; and (iii) not imply that such emails are being sent on behalf of Evolv.
  • A Partner will not (i) engage in any fax, broadcast, telemarketing or any other offline marketing methods with respect to Evolv; (ii) use malware, spyware or any other aggressive advertising or marketing methods in any of its dealings relating to Evolv; (iii) make any false, misleading or disparaging representations or statements with respect to Evolv; (iv) solicit any of Evolv's customers to leave Evolv; (v) copy, resemble or mirror the look and feel of Evolv’s websites, Evolv’s Trademarks (as defined below) or Evolv’s services or otherwise misrepresent Partner’s affiliation with Evolv; or (vi) engage in any other practices that may adversely affect the credibility or reputation of Evolv, including but not limited to, sending email communications or using any website in any manner, or having any content on any website, that (a) uses aggressive or low-quality marketing, including marketing services that are unrelated to Evolv or the Partner’s services; (b) promotes sexually explicit materials, violence, discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age, or any illegal or objectionable activities; or (c) violates any intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any third party; or (d) otherwise violates Evolv's Policies, including but not limited to our Terms & Conditions.
  • Anything Partner communicates in marketing or advertising any Evolv product, service or opportunity must be true and accurate. Claims that relate to any Evolv product, service or opportunity that are untrue or fraudulent are strictly prohibited. Partner may not claim that any government, person, or entity endorses or supports Evolv. Partner may not use the intellectual property of any other person or entity in advertising any Evolv product, service or opportunity.

1.2. Compliance with Laws

In addition to, and without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, Partner will perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the highest applicable industry standards and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

1.3 Unauthorized and Prohibited Activities

  • Partner will not promote or advertise Evolv on coupon, deal, or discount sites or on GTP/Get Paid to Click or other incentivized sites, or display any offer code on a public-facing page or through the use of a “click to display” offer code.
  • Partner will not use its links directly in any pay-per-click advertising;
  • Partner will not purchase search engine or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google AdWords), trademarks or domain names that use the Evolv Trademarks (as defined below) or any variations or misspellings thereof that may be deceptively or confusingly similar to the Evolv Trademarks.
  • Partner will not create or participate in any third party networks or sub-affiliate networks without the express written permission of Evolv.

  • Partner will not disparage the products or services of any other person or entity, including without limitation the products or services of a competitor of Evolv, any other customer or partner of Evolv, or Evolv itself.

1.4. FTC Guidelines

  • The Federal Trade Commission in the United States (“FTC”) has guidelines for governing endorsements and testimonials. These rules are aimed at increasing transparency between endorsers and consumers. As a member of the Partner Program with Evolv, Partner receives compensation for referrals made to Evolv. This may establish a “material connection” according to FTC rules, which creates an obligation for Partner to provide disclosure to consumers.
  • Full compliance with these guidelines requires, among other things, that (a) Partner clearly and conspicuously disclose that Partner is being compensated for referring customers to Evolv; and (b) Partner is not engaged in misleading or deceptive advertising. For further information Partner should refer to the statement released by the FTC regarding these guidelines.

1.5. Other Partner Terms

  • Partner must have an active PayPal account in which to receive payment of any Referral Fees. This is the only method in which Evolv will pay You the Referral Fees. If you do not currently have a PayPal account, you can sign up here https://www.paypal.com/us/home.
  • If the Partner is an individual, You must be the older of (i) 18 years; or (ii) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where You reside and from where You carry out Partner activities.
  • You confirm that You are becoming a Partner for the purposes of carrying on a business activity and not for any personal, household or family purpose. 
  • To become a Partner, Partner must create a Partner Account by providing all information indicated as required. Evolv may reject an application for a Partner Account for any reason, in its sole discretion. Partner acknowledges that Evolv will use the email address provided by Partner as the primary method for communication. Partner is responsible for keeping its Partner Account password secure. Evolv cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Partner’s failure to maintain the security of the Partner Account and password.
  • Partner acknowledges and agrees that Partner will be responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether it sublicenses or subcontracts any such obligations to any third party, including but not limited to any affiliates or subsidiaries of Partner.
  • Partner will promptly inform Evolv of any information known to Partner that could reasonably lead to a claim, demand or liability of or against Evolv by any third party.
  • Partner acknowledges and agrees that Evolv may amend this Agreement at any time by posting the relevant amended and restated Partner Program Agreement on Evolv's website, available at https://evolv.com/partner-program-agreement and such amendments to the Agreement are effective as of the date of posting. If a significant change is made, Evolv will provide reasonable notice by email. Partner’s continued participation in the Evolv Partner Program after the amended Partner Program Agreement is posted to Evolv's website constitutes Partner’s agreement to, and acceptance of, the amended Agreement. If Partner does not agree to any changes to the Agreement, Partner must terminate the Agreement by discontinuing its participation in the Evolv Partner Program.
  • Partner acknowledges and agrees that Partner’s participation in the Evolv Partner Program, including information transmitted to or stored by Evolv, is governed by the Evolv Policies found at https://www.evolvyoga.com.au/terms.

2. Referral Fees

2.1. Payment of Fees

  • Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Partner Program, You will be assigned one or more unique Partner URLs that You will use to advertise Evolv. When another person (a “Prospect”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Prospect’s browser. When the Prospect creates a Evolv membership by using Your Partner URL, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Offer".
  • Subject to Partner’s compliance with this Agreement, You will be entitled to a referral fee for each Sold Offer that generates a payment to Evolv monthly, annually, or once-off. The referral fee amount varies for each Evolv offer and is a percentage of all fees received by Evolv for the base subscription plan or once-off purchase of a Sold Offer (the “Referral Fees”). Payments of any Referral Fees will be made each month following Evolv’s receipt of such payments.
  • Referral Fees are paid only for transactions that actually occur between Evolv and a Prospect. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale is not actually received by Evolv, You will not be paid a Referral Fee on the transaction. If a referral does not link or attach to Your Partner account within 30 days from such referral’s subscribing to Evolv’s services, such referral will not be deemed Your Sold Offer and You will not be entitled to any Referral Fees from such referral. In order for an account to be linked to your Partner account, a referral must either use your affiliate link directly or reach out to [email protected] within those first 30 days requesting to be linked. If payment for a Sold Offer later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a Referral Fee was paid to You for that Sold Offer payment, then the applicable Referral Fee will be deducted from any future Referral Fees. If Evolv determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, in addition to Evolv’s rights under Section 3.1, no Referral Fees will be paid to You for such Sale, or if such violation or fraud is discovered by Evolv after payment, such amounts shall be deducted from any future Referral Fees. A referral may request at any time to be removed from Your Partner Account and upon such request, You will no longer be entitled to receive any Referral Fees for such referral.
  • No Referral Fees will be paid on any Sold Offer that is an affiliated business of the applicable Partner.

2.2. Partner Representations; Taxes

  • Partner hereby represents and warrants to Company that You are engaged in an independent business enterprise, and that You have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate Partner's business, if any, such as licensing, tax and other business operation requirements.
  • You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including without limitation income tax liabilities that arise from or in any way relate to any Referral Fees You receive from Evolv.

2.3. Inventory Loading/Rebates

Partner will not be paid any Referral Fees for payments made on Your own User Account(s). Partner is not permitted to open a Evolv account under the name of another person or entity, or under a fictitious name. Partner is not permitted to open a Evolv account under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Referral Fees or any other compensation, including without limitation incentives or prizes that may be offered from time to time. Partner may not pay for another person’s account. Partner is not permitted to refer itself or any affiliated business. Partner is not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to actual or potential Sales. Violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and You agree to repay to Evolv all Referral Fees earned as a result of any such violation.

‍3. Termination

3.1. Termination

  • Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon notice to another Party.
  • Fraudulent or other unacceptable behavior by Partner, including breach of this Agreement or any Evolv Policies, as determined by Evolv in its sole discretion, may result in one or more of the following actions being taken by Evolv: (a) termination of Your affiliation with Evolv in its entirety and termination of all services provided to You; (b) suspension of some or all of Your privileges under the Partner Program; and/or (c) termination of Your Partner account entirely without notice to, or recourse for, You, in which case You shall forfeit all Referral Fees owed to You, either as of the date of termination or thereafter accruing.
  • At any time that your Evolv customer account is cancelled or suspended by either Party, Partner’s participation in the Partner Program shall be automatically terminated and Partner shall no longer be entitled to any further Referral Fees. If Partner later activates a Evolv customer account, Partner will be entitled to apply for participation in the Partner Program and to earn Referral Fees on any new Sold Offer. For the purpose of clarity, Partner will forfeit all Referral Fees from its Sold Offers prior to such termination.

3.2. Results of Termination

  • Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) Partner will immediately cease displaying any Evolv Materials (as defined below) or any Evolv Trademarks (as defined below) on any website or otherwise; and (b) all rights granted to Partner under this Agreement will immediately cease, including but not limited to the right of Partner to access the Partner Account, Partner Dashboard and Affliliate Portal, or to receive any payments of Referral Fees under this Agreement, unless otherwise determined by Evolv in its sole discretion.
  • This Section 3.2 and the following Sections will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: Section 4.5 (Proprietary Rights of Evolv), Section 5 (Confidentiality), Section 6 (Disclaimer of Warranty), Section 7 (Limitation of Liability and Indemnification), and Section 8 (General Provisions).
