Tribe Referral Links and Invite Codes

Upon the successful validation of a tribe, you will be given access to promotional material which will contain a tribe specific unique referral linking code as well as dynamically generated invite codes. You are permitted to place these links on your website, your email communications and or share them on social networks and other communities you are an active and contributing part in to promote your tribe(s). We will provide you with guidelines, graphical art work as well as other resources to help you generate referrals. We may change the designs and promotional artwork at anytime, but we wont change linking code structure, art work dimensions or anything that may have a direct effect on your campaign without proper notice.

1. Tribe Specific Linking Code

   To allow for accurate tracking, reporting, and referral credit generation we will provide you with unique referral links formatted to match your specific tribe (one for each actively enrolled tribe). You may use these links to promote your tribe(s) on your web properties as well as share them within other communities, social networks and forums as long as you are using this link with the intent of assisting in a community wide move. You must ensure that each tribe specific link properly utilizes the link format displayed within your tribe's referral program promotional area. Tribe specific links cannot be blindly posted without appropriate context, they cannot be used to allow unlimited access to bypass the Snapzu invitation system in any other situation other than assisting in the migration of a community.

   Links to your tribe(s) placed on your site or other area are pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such specific link formats are referred to as "Tribe Links."

2. Tribe Specific Invite Codes

   In addition to Tribe Links each tribe will make available a dynamically updated list of 20 tribe specific invite codes to be used as a promotional tool for participants that wish to join Snapzu's invite only service without having to follow a Tribe Link. In similar fashion to Tribe Links, invite codes are embedded with tracking information and set cookies to allow for the continued tracking and credit generation for the potential referral.

   You must ensure that when transmitting invite codes by copy and pasting them into your communications that they appear exactly as displayed within your tribe's referral program promotional area. Failure to copy and paste the referral codes exactly as they appear will result in the failure to continue with a successful referral.

Credits are earned only with respect to referral purchases on the Snapzu platform occurring directly through Tribe Links or Invite Codes; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Tribe Links, or Invite Codes properly, such failure may result in missed referral opportunities that would otherwise be tracked and paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Affiliate links must point to the Tribe specific home page of the Snapzu community being promoted. Deep links, or links to other pages inside the product site will not earn credit(s). Invite codes must be clearly represented with a direct link to the tribe being promoted.

Referral Tracking, Commissions and Payment Schedule

1. Referral Tracking

   Snapzu will only credit referrals on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not credit a referral if someone says they signed up or someone says they entered an invite code but it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions based on registered referrals that were generated through properly formatted tribe links allowing for automatic tracking by our systems.

   For a referral to be credited, the customer must click-through a tribe link from your site, email, or other communications to the promoted tribe and sign up for a Snapzu account during that session. Tribe specific invite codes allow more flexibility, as the customer needs only to enter the tribe specific invite code at anytime during the signup process to be counted as a referral.

   When tracking tribe links, the session ends once someone closes their web browser, navigates away from the service, or otherwise leaves the website without signing up. If they leave the site, come back later on their own, and create an account you will not be credited with that referral.

2. Commissions

   Referrals will convert into commissions whenever a referral purchases premium credits at any time during the lifetime of the referral account. Earnings are credited to your account in the form of “Credits” at $5 dollars per credit. Earnings are divided into an equal 50/50 split between the Affiliate Program holder and Snapzu before earnings on commissions are paid out. All incoming referral payments must clear a 14 day probationary period before being counted as a commission within Affiliate account.

   We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. Promotional methods involving illegal websites or otherwise questionable services are not permitted.

3. Payments

   A payout option will become available once a balance of affiliate income reaches $150. If your affiliate balance never crosses the $150 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have reached the $150 balance threshold.

   All commissions earned from referrals are to be paid by PayPal and only by PayPal. Snapzu will not send payment to credit cards, checks or by cash. To request a payment you need to have an active and verified PayPal account that matches your affiliate details. If you don't have a PayPal account you can sign up for one at any time. Until you are able to provide your payment details, your balance will continue to accumulate until a PayPal account is linked.

   As long as your current affiliate earnings balance is $150 or more, you will be able to trigger a payout request. You must allow up to 30 days for all payout requests to be processed. If you haven't earned $150 since your last earnings payout, you will need to wait until the minimum balance is reached and we will process your payout request within 30 days.
