What does affiliate mean?

Affiliate marketing is based on the basic idea of a partnership with performance-related compensation. Every partner has the chance to extend and shape his own web-offer with participating in an affiliate program (= partner program). For example by successfully presenting eBlocker on your website.

Who can participate and how does it work?

You can participate in our eBlocker affiliate program if you are an entrepreneur with a valid VAT number, who is living in Europe or as a local resident outside of Europe. You need to have your own website or a customer base where you can send emails to. You can also participate even if you’re not a customer of eBlocker. The participation is very easy:

You apply for the affiliate program, place one of the offered eBlocker advertisements (e.g. banner or text link) on your website and thus establish a connection to our eBlocker website. After one click on the advert, the visitor will be directed from your website to our eBlocker website. Through the personal identification of the advert, we register exactly from where the customer has been send from, if the visitor orders an eBlocker product (hardware and/or software). We also offer a consideration time of 30 days which means: even if the customer doesn’t decide immediately to buy a product – but decides to order later, you still have the right to your premium – provided that the customer has visited your website first and then was redirected to our website.

How much can I earn?

We will reward you for the sales you provide in a calendar month. Generally we pay 10% of the net-shopping cart revenue as commission.

How does eBlocker know that the new customer has been send from my website?

It’s very simple: a personal identification is integrated in every advert that you place, for example, in a banner. Every customer that clicks on the banner, automatically saves the ID of this advert on his computer. Now when he visits our website, we register this ID and know from which websites he has been redirected from. This ID will be saved for 30 days by setting a cookie on the customer’s computer. Please note that purchases can only be registered properly, if the cookie-setting is activated on the purchaser’s computer.

What is a 30-day-cookie-period?

Cookies are small text files that are transferred to the visitor’s computer after e.g. clicking on a banner from a web browser. User-specific information – here personal identification – is saved in cookies (provided that the visitor has activated his cookies). If the customer orders a product in the following 30 days, the purchase will be shown in our affiliate system and the related commission is paid off after our confirmation.

How and when will I get paid?

All confirmed commissions are credited and monthly transferred to you starting from $50. Unless otherwise agreed, the settlement and payment of the remuneration shall be made within 45 days from starting from the end of the according calendar month. Payments are made within 45 days starting from the according on the first working day of the month. Separate payments in a calendar month are summed up. You have access to your personal user data, sales statistics and credit analysis with your personal password, at any time.

Customers are mediated by the affiliate if they have reached our shop directly via the advertising measures carried out by the affiliate in accordance with the contract. The respective turnover always applies when viewed in isolation. No commission is owed for subsequent sales.

In the event of subsequent refunds of payments subject to commission, the commission attributable to the reimbursed amount is to be repaid. eBlocker is entitled to offset commissions to be reimbursed against current commission claims.

7.6. The accounting of performance-related remuneration is considered correct if the Affiliate does not object within one month from receipt of the accounting with factual reasons.

Commission credits existing at the end of the contract are paid out to the affiliate, any negative balances are to be settled.
