These terms govern participation in the Bulk Email Checker Affiliate Program. By participating in the Affiliate Program you accept these terms in full.
These Affiliate Program Terms ("Affiliate Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Affiliate," "you," or "your") and Bulk Email Checker ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your participation in the Bulk Email Checker Affiliate Program (the "Program"). These Affiliate Terms apply in addition to the Terms of Service, which remain in full force and effect and continue to govern your use of the Services. The Affiliate Terms supplement, and are incorporated into, the Terms of Service, and as an Affiliate you are bound by both. You accept these Affiliate Terms by selecting "I agree" when you join the Program. If you do not agree to these Affiliate Terms, you may not participate in the Program.
1.1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not defined in these Affiliate Terms have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service. In addition:
2.1. Customers Only. The Program is open only to holders of a Bulk Email Checker account in good standing that has completed at least one (1) purchase of the Services.
2.2. Purpose of the Customer Requirement. The Program is limited to customers so that those who recommend Bulk Email Checker know the Services first hand, including how verification works, what verification results mean, and how credits work, and can therefore give accurate guidance to the people they refer.
2.3. Exceptions. Bulk Email Checker may, in its sole discretion and by prior written permission, admit an applicant that does not meet the requirement in Section 2.1, such as an agency or business partner. An exception applies only to the account for which it is granted and does not waive any other provision of these Affiliate Terms.
2.4. Age Requirement. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to participate in the Program. There are no exceptions to this requirement. By accepting these Affiliate Terms, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Bulk Email Checker may request proof of age at any time and may remove from the Program any Affiliate who does not meet it.
2.5. General Requirements. To participate in the Program you must also satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section 1 of the Terms of Service, except that the age requirement for the Program is governed solely by Section 2.4. Because each individual may maintain only one (1) personal account under Section 1.4 of the Terms of Service, each individual may hold only one (1) Program enrollment.
2.6. Acceptance. You enroll in the Program by selecting "I agree" in the enrollment window displayed in your account control panel. Your Referral Code is issued only after you accept these Affiliate Terms. Your electronic acceptance has the same force and effect as a handwritten signature.
2.7. Right to Decline. Bulk Email Checker may accept or decline any application to join the Program, or any request for reinstatement, in its sole discretion.
3.1. Referral Links. Your Referral Link takes the form bulkemailchecker.com/r/CODE/, where CODE is your Referral Code. The same Referral Code may be added to the address of other pages on the Bulk Email Checker website (for example, bulkemailchecker.com/pricing/r/CODE/), and such a link operates in the same manner.
3.2. Tracking Period. When a visitor follows a Referral Link, a Tracking Cookie is placed in the visitor's browser and remains active for thirty (30) days from the date of the click.
3.3. Last Click Attribution. Attribution is determined on a last click basis. If a visitor follows the Referral Links of more than one affiliate, the most recent click replaces any earlier click, and only the affiliate whose Referral Link was most recently followed is eligible for credit.
3.4. Credited Sign-Ups. A new account is credited to you as a Referred Customer only if it is created while a Tracking Cookie carrying your Referral Code is active. Accounts created after the Tracking Cookie has expired, been replaced, or been removed are not credited. Existing customers of Bulk Email Checker cannot become Referred Customers.
3.5. Tracking Limitations. Attribution depends on the Tracking Cookie being accepted and retained by the visitor's browser. Bulk Email Checker is not responsible for sign-ups that are not credited because a visitor blocked or deleted cookies, used a different browser or device, or otherwise prevented tracking. Bulk Email Checker's tracking records are the sole and final basis for determining attribution and Commission.
4.1. Commission Rates. You earn Commission equal to a percentage of each Qualifying Purchase made by a Referred Customer. The applicable rate depends on the date of the purchase, counted from the Referred Customer's Sign-Up Date:
| Purchase made | Rate |
|---|---|
| Days 1 through 30 after the Sign-Up Date | 12% |
| Days 31 through 365 after the Sign-Up Date | 8% |
| Day 366 onward, for as long as the Referred Customer remains a customer | 4% |
4.2. Commission Basis. Commission is calculated on the amount actually paid by the Referred Customer for the Qualifying Purchase. No Commission is earned on any amount the Referred Customer did not pay, including discounts and any credits or Services provided free of charge.
4.3. Duration. Subject to Sections 6, 14, and 15, Commission continues to accrue on Qualifying Purchases for as long as the Referred Customer remains a customer of Bulk Email Checker.
4.4. Changes to Rates. Bulk Email Checker may change the Commission rates at any time. A change applies only to Qualifying Purchases made after the change takes effect. Commission already earned keeps the rate at which it was earned.
4.5. Currency. Commission is calculated and recorded in United States dollars.
4.6. Information Provided to You. For each Referred Customer, the Program shows you only the total amount spent by that Referred Customer and the Commission earned from it. Bulk Email Checker does not disclose the identity, contact details, or User Content of any Referred Customer to you.
5.1. Hold. Each Commission is held for forty-five (45) days from the date of the Qualifying Purchase to allow for refunds and chargebacks. Commission cannot be withdrawn during the Hold Period.
5.2. Release. At the end of the Hold Period, the Commission becomes available for withdrawal under Section 7, subject to Sections 6 and 14.
6.1. Reversal. If a Qualifying Purchase is refunded, charged back, disputed, or found by Bulk Email Checker to be fraudulent, the Commission on that purchase is reversed. Where only part of a purchase is refunded or charged back, the Commission on that part is reversed.
6.2. Timing. A reversal may occur at any time, including after the Hold Period has ended and after the Commission has been withdrawn.
6.3. Negative Balance. A reversal may reduce your Affiliate Balance below zero. A negative Affiliate Balance is offset against Commission you earn in the future until it is restored to zero, and no withdrawal may be requested while your Affiliate Balance is negative.
6.4. Fraud and Breach. Where a reversal results from your own fraud, from fraud that you arranged, encouraged, or participated in, or from your breach of Section 9 or Section 10, including fraudulent, self-referred, or collusive purchases, Bulk Email Checker may recover the full amount of any Commission paid or credited to you on those purchases by any lawful means, including legal action. This right is in addition to the remedies in Section 14 and your obligations under Section 20.
7.1. Withdrawal Methods. You may withdraw Commission that has completed the Hold Period by either of the following methods:
7.2. Account Credits. Verification credits issued under Section 7.1 are governed by the Terms of Service in the same manner as purchased credits and cannot be converted back into Commission or cash.
7.3. PayPal Payouts. PayPal withdrawals are processed manually and are sent within seventy-two (72) hours of your withdrawal request, subject to Sections 7.5, 7.6, and 8.1. You are responsible for providing a valid PayPal account capable of receiving the payment. Bulk Email Checker is not responsible for payments sent to a PayPal account you designated in error.
7.4. Currency, Fees, and Returned Payouts. All payouts are made in United States dollars only. Any fee charged by PayPal for a payout, and any currency conversion performed by PayPal or your financial institution, is deducted from or borne by the amount you receive. If a payout is returned, rejected, or left unclaimed, the amount Bulk Email Checker recovers is restored to your Affiliate Balance.
7.5. Withholding. Bulk Email Checker may delay or withhold a withdrawal while it investigates a suspected violation of these Affiliate Terms or a suspected fraudulent Qualifying Purchase, or where a payment may be prohibited under Section 13.
7.6. Account Security and Payout Notifications. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure, as provided in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the Terms of Service. When a PayPal withdrawal is requested from your account, Bulk Email Checker sends a notification to the email address on your account before the payout is sent. You are responsible for monitoring that email address and for notifying Bulk Email Checker at the address in Section 22 before the payout is sent if you did not make the request. Bulk Email Checker is not liable for, and will not reimburse, any withdrawal made from your account by an unauthorized person, except to the extent Bulk Email Checker recovers the funds.
8.1. Tax Forms for Cash Payouts. Before Bulk Email Checker processes your first PayPal withdrawal, you must provide a completed and signed IRS Form W-9 if you are a United States person, or the applicable IRS Form W-8 (such as Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E) if you are not. Bulk Email Checker uses this information to issue a Form 1099 where required by law. PayPal withdrawals will not be processed until a valid form has been received, and you must provide an updated form if your information changes.
8.2. Reporting. Bulk Email Checker may report Commission paid to you to the Internal Revenue Service and any other tax authority as required by applicable law.
8.3. Tax Responsibility. Bulk Email Checker does not withhold any taxes from Commission or payouts. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes arising from Commission paid or credited to you. If Bulk Email Checker is ever required by law to withhold tax from a payment, it will do so, and the amount withheld will be deducted from the payment.
9.1. Honest Promotion. You agree to promote Bulk Email Checker honestly: no spam, no self-referrals, and no bidding on our brand name in paid search. Section 10 sets out these and other prohibited practices in full.
9.2. Accuracy. Any statement you make about the Services, their pricing, or their results must be accurate and current. You may not promise or imply results that the Services do not guarantee, including any guarantee of verification accuracy, which Bulk Email Checker does not provide under Section 6.2 of the Terms of Service.
9.3. Disclosure. Wherever you share a Referral Link, you must clearly identify yourself as an independent affiliate of Bulk Email Checker and disclose that you may earn Commission, in accordance with applicable law, including the endorsement and testimonial guidelines of the United States Federal Trade Commission.
9.4. Compliance with Law. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your promotional activities comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including anti-spam, consumer protection, advertising, and privacy laws.
9.5. Promotional Channels. You may share your Referral Link through any lawful channel that complies with these Affiliate Terms, subject to the following conditions for the channels described below.
9.5.1. Email to Your Own Subscribers. You may include a Referral Link in email sent to a list that you own and maintain, provided that every recipient has affirmatively opted in to receive commercial email from you. Each message must clearly identify you as its sender, contain a working unsubscribe option, and be removed from future mailings upon request within the time required by law. For purposes of applicable anti-spam law, you, and not Bulk Email Checker, are the sender of each such message. You must retain a record of how and when each recipient gave consent and produce that record to Bulk Email Checker upon request. Lists that are purchased, rented, shared, scraped, or otherwise obtained without the recipient's direct consent to hear from you may not be used.
9.5.2. Pay-Per-Click Advertising. Pay-per-click advertising, including paid search advertising on Google, Microsoft Bing, or any other search engine, is not allowed without the prior written permission of Bulk Email Checker. Where permission is granted, Section 10 continues to apply in full, including the prohibitions on bidding on Bulk Email Checker trademarks and coupon terms.
9.5.3. Social Media. You may promote the Services through organic posts and paid advertising on social media platforms, provided that you comply with the terms and advertising policies of each platform you use. Your profiles, pages, and advertisements must be clearly presented as your own and must not suggest that they are operated or endorsed by Bulk Email Checker.
9.5.4. Incentives, Coupon, and Deal Sites. Unless Bulk Email Checker has given its prior written permission, you may not reward or compensate any person for clicking a Referral Link, creating an account, or making a purchase, whether through cash back, points, prizes, discounts, or any other benefit, and you may not list your Referral Link on coupon, deal, cash back, or rewards websites.
9.5.5. Bundling. With the prior written permission of Bulk Email Checker, you may promote the Services together with other products or services as part of a bundle. Any permitted bundle must describe the Services accurately, must not be presented as an offering of Bulk Email Checker, and must not involve the resale of the Services. Every purchase of the Services must be made directly with Bulk Email Checker.

If your Bulk Email Checker account is terminated, your participation in the Program ends at the same time.
