WordPress HelpCenter Affiliate Program Terms of Service

Our affiliate program is designed to help you generate income in exchange for referring WordPress help requests to WordPress HelpCenter (“WP HelpCenter”). Listed below are the terms and conditions associated with our affiliate program.

The Program

Once you have signed up for the affiliate program, your name and information will be entered into a WP HelpCenter affiliate database and you will be assigned a unique affiliate code. Once you have signed up as a WP HelpCenter affiliate, there are two ways in which referral fees can be earned:

All WP HelpCenter customers will be asked for a referral affiliate code. If a customer uses your affiliate code, you will be credited with one referral;
When WP HelpCenter a customer makes a service request related to a hosting provider, plug-in, or theme, WP HelpCenter will determine whether the hosting provider, plug-in developer, theme designer, etc. (“Service Provider”) is in the WP HelpCenter affiliate database. If you, the Service Provider, are in the database, you will be credited with one referral.

Payment

WP HelpCenter will pay commissions of $1 per referral. Commissions are earned once one or more of the conditions above are met, and the WP HelpCenter customer has made their payment. Commissions are only earned if a customer makes a payment.

The commission is subject to change at our discretion; however, we will notify all affiliates 30 days prior to a commission change. Commissions earned under the previous terms will be paid under the previous terms. Commissions under the new terms will be paid under the new terms.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or questionable sales or marketing methods.

Payment Threshold

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $25 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $25 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $25 threshold.

Payments by PayPal

Commissions are paid by PayPal and only by PayPal. You are required to have a PayPal account to receive commissions. If you don’t have a PayPal account you can sign up for one at any time, but you will not be paid until you have one.

Payment Schedule

As long as your current affiliate earnings are over $25, you’ll be paid roughly every 60 days. If you haven’t earned $25 since your last payment, we’ll pay you roughly 60 days after you’ve crossed the threshold. Payments are only made via PayPal.

Term of the Agreement and Program

The term of this agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this agreement at any time, for any reason, by giving the other party notice of termination. WP HelpCenter reserves the right to end the affiliate program at any time. Upon program termination, WP HelpCenter will pay any outstanding earnings accrued above $25.

WP HelpCenter, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. WP HelpCenter reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
