2. JOINING THE AFFILIATE PROGRAMME

2.1 Eligibility conditions

To join the affiliate programme, the Affiliate must:

• Be a natural person of legal age or a legally incorporated entity
• Have a website, blog, social network or other online communication channel
• Hold a specific partner agreement with YADULINK or an active YADULINK subscription in order to receive commission payments
• Accept these Affiliate Terms
• Complete the affiliate programme sign-up form

2.2 Sign-up process

Registration for the affiliate program takes place online on the YADULINK site. YADULINK reserves the right to accept or refuse any registration request, without having to justify its decision.

The Affiliate undertakes to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information when registering. Any incorrect or misleading information may lead to immediate termination of their participation in the affiliate program.

2.3 Affiliate account

Once the registration is approved, the Affiliate receives access to their personal area, where they can view their statistics and commissions and generate affiliate links.

The Affiliate is responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential and undertakes not to share them with third parties.

3. HOW THE AFFILIATE PROGRAMME WORKS

3.1 Affiliate links

The Affiliate receives a unique affiliate link that they must use to promote YADULINK's services. The Affiliate can also create short links redirecting to any page of the YADULINK site, which sets an affiliate cookie on the visitor's session.

On request, YADULINK may also create custom promotional codes for the Affiliate.

3.2 Affiliate cookie

When a visitor clicks an affiliate link, a cookie is placed in their browser for 60 days. If the visitor signs up for a paid YADULINK service during that period, the sale is attributed to the Affiliate.

If several different affiliate links are clicked, the last link clicked is the one used to attribute the sale.

3.3 Performance tracking

The Affiliate can view their performance statistics (clicks, sign-ups, subscriptions generated, commissions) at any time from their personal area.

YADULINK cannot be held liable for tracking errors, temporary technical problems or data loss that prevented a sale from being recorded correctly.

4. COMMISSIONS AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Commission rate

4.1.1 Default programme

The default program offers a recurring 30% commission on every subscription generated by the Affiliate, capped at €25 per transaction.

The commission is calculated on the pre-tax subscription amount.

4.1.2 Specific programmes

YADULINK may, at its sole discretion, offer certain Affiliates specific programs with commission rates different from the default program.

The specific terms of these programs will be communicated individually to the Affiliates concerned.

4.2 Commission validation

Commissions are treated as approved 30 days after the date the customer paid for the subscription.

This validation period makes sure the subscription has not been cancelled or refunded.

4.3 Payment of commissions

4.3.1 Payment terms

Commissions are paid monthly, provided the total amount owed reaches the minimum threshold of €50.

Commission payments are strictly reserved for Affiliates eligible for payment. An Affiliate who has no specific partner agreement with YADULINK and no active YADULINK subscription at the time of calculation or payment cannot receive commission payments.

If the threshold is not reached or the Affiliate is not eligible for payment, commissions may be carried over until the payment conditions are met. YADULINK may withhold payment for as long as those conditions are not satisfied.

4.3.2 Payment methods

Payments are made by one of the following methods, at the Affiliate's choice:

• Bank transfer
• PayPal
• Stripe

4.3.3 Billing

YADULINK automatically generates a summary of the commissions owed to the Affiliate.

The Affiliate is nevertheless advised to provide an invoice for the amount of the commissions before they are paid. If the Affiliate is a legal entity or a sole trader, providing an invoice that complies with the applicable regulations is mandatory.

4.3.4 Taxes

The Affiliate is solely responsible for their tax and social security obligations on commissions earned through the affiliate program.

YADULINK cannot be held liable if the Affiliate fails to meet their tax and social security obligations.
