Affiliate Terms

1. Joining

You apply on our website. We review every application and may decline one for any reason. You need an Australian Business Number (ABN) and an Australian bank account in the name of you or your business.

Our staff and contractors can't join.

2. Referrals

When you're approved we give you a link. A visitor who follows it is remembered in their browser for 90 days from their first visit through any affiliate's link; if they start a free trial in that time, and we approve it, the organisation is your referral. The first affiliate link a visitor follows is the one that counts.

An organisation that already uses or has used the service, or that signs up some other way (for example in a browser that has blocked or cleared site data), isn't a referral. Our records decide whether an organisation is your referral.

You can't refer yourself, your own business or an organisation you belong to. A sign-up from your own email address or your business's email domain isn't a referral.

3. The bounty

For each referral, you earn a one-off bounty once the organisation has paid us for 2 monthly invoices. The bounty is $150 excluding GST unless we've agreed a different amount with you in writing; the amount is fixed when the bounty is earned. There's no bounty for an organisation whose subscription ends before then.

We may withhold or recover a bounty where a referred organisation's payment is refunded or reversed, or where the referral breaks these terms.

The made. team reviews the bounty amount from time to time. We may increase it at any time, for bounties earned from the date we tell you. We may reduce it only for bounties earned after we have given you at least 30 days' notice by email.

4. Payment and GST

We prepare statements monthly for bounties earned and pay them by bank transfer to the account you give on your affiliate page, usually within 30 days of the statement. You're responsible for keeping your payment details, ABN and GST status correct.

If you're registered for GST, we add GST to the bounty. You and we agree that we will issue a recipient-created tax invoice (RCTI) for each statement and that you won't issue a tax invoice for those supplies. We each confirm we are registered for GST and will tell the other if that stops being so. This RCTI agreement continues while you are an affiliate.

If you're not registered for GST, no GST is added. You're responsible for your own tax.

5. Promoting the service

You may share your link on your own website, in your newsletters and social media, and with people you know. When you do:

• say plainly that you may be paid if someone signs up through your link;
• describe made. Shield accurately, and don't make promises about it, its price or its results that we don't make on our website;
• don't send spam or unsolicited commercial messages, and follow the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law;
• don't bid on "made.", "made. Shield" or similar terms, or our domain names, in search advertising, and don't run ads that look like ours;
• don't offer people money, discounts or other incentives to sign up, and don't use cookie stuffing, forced clicks or other tricks to create referrals;
• don't present yourself as us, or as our employee or partner beyond being an affiliate, and don't use our logo except as we give it to you.

6. Your information

We use the information you give us (your name, email, business, ABN, GST status, website and bank details) to run the program and pay you, as our Privacy Policy describes. Your bank details are stored encrypted. We show you how many referrals you have and where they stand, but not who they are.

7. Ending

You can leave the program at any time by telling us. We may suspend your link or end your participation at any time, with notice by email. If we end it because you broke these terms, we may withhold bounties not yet paid. Otherwise, we pay bounties already earned, and for referrals made before it ended that go on to earn a bounty within 6 months.

We may change or close the program by giving at least 30 days' notice by email. Bounties earned before then are still paid.

8. General

You're an independent contractor. Nothing in these terms makes you our employee, agent or partner, and you can't bind us.

Our liability to you under these terms is limited to the bounties payable to you, except where the law doesn't allow it to be limited.

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales. We may update them by posting a new version with its date and emailing you; continuing in the program after the change means you accept it. Contact: Made AI Pty Ltd, https://madeshield.com/contact.
