AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

1. OVERVIEW

This Affiliate Program Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between


Namecheap, Inc. (“Namecheap”) and the signor of this Agreement (“Affiliate”), and is
made effective as of the date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the
terms and conditions of Affiliate’s participation in Namecheap’s Affiliate Program
(“Affiliate Program") and is in addition to any other agreement that Affiliate may have
entered into with Namecheap by virtue of being a customer. In this Agreement “you,”
“your” or “Affiliate” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement.
The terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Namecheap, Inc. (“Namecheap”). Nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand,
acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with Namecheap’s
Universal Terms of Service Agreement (make this a link), which is incorporated herein by
reference.

This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us
under the Affiliate Program offered by Namecheap. Namecheap offers several ways to
sign up to be an Affiliate, including via your Namecheap account panel (“platforms”.)
You are only permitted to sign up via one of the available options. The Affiliate Program
is purely a referral program by which you can earn commissions as outlined herein.
Commissions are earned by you as an independent contractor and, as such, you are
responsible for paying any taxes due on such commissions. In addition, you are required
to provide any/all accurately completed tax related information and forms that is
requested by the platform in which you enrolled. Failure to do so will result in a
forfeiture of your commissions.

Changes and Modifications to the Agreement. Namecheap, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which
are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be
effective immediately upon posting to the Namecheap website (this
"Site"). You
acknowledge and agree that (i) Namecheap may or may not notify you of such changes
or modifications prior to posting them to this Site and (ii) your continued participation in
the Affiliate Program (via any platform) after such changes or modifications have been
made (as indicated by the "Last Revised" date on this page) shall constitute your
acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this
Agreement as last revised, you must formally terminate your Affiliate status. In addition,
while not required, Namecheap may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications
AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your account
("Account") information, including your email address, current in the Affiliate interface
that you have selected. Namecheap assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure
to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate or out-of-date
email address.

Suspension or Termination of Affiliate Program Participation. Namecheap reserves the


right to suspend participation in the Affiliate Program in the event of an unresolved
breach of this Agreement or if suspension or cancellation is required by any policy now
in effect or later adopted by ICANN. You agree that your failure to comply completely
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Namecheap rule or policy may
be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement and that Namecheap may
provide you with notice of such breach either in writing or electronically (i.e. email). If
you do not provide Namecheap with material evidence that you have not breached your
obligations within ten (10) business days, Namecheap may terminate your participation
immediately and take any remedial action available to Namecheap under the applicable
laws. Such remedial action may be implemented without notice to you.

In addition, you acknowledge and agree that Namecheap may terminate your
participation as an Affiliate if: (a) you or your site violates, as determined by Namecheap
in its sole and absolute discretion, any of the Affiliate Restrictions outlined in Section 3
and/or any additional restrictions named; (b) for non-payment of fees, if any; and/or (c)
if your site is not live, is under construction, or is a personal homepage or another
personal site.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Acceptance into the Affiliate Program is at our sole discretion, which may be withheld
for any reason or for no reason at all.

How it Works. Namecheap’s Affiliate Program allows you to earn commissions on sales
to new Namecheap customers via advertising on your "web site" or "publishing
location" (such as an electronic newsletter or blog) (hereinafter “Your Site”) that
contains a link with your affiliate ID. This advertising will allow you to drive traffic
(‘sessions”) to Namecheap’s web site. You will earn a percentage of the revenue
generated, or commission as outlined in your platform agreement,when a person or
entity (that is not you or your agent(s)) makes their first- time purchase of certain
Namecheap products or services (“New Customer”) after being referred to through the
unique affiliate link that is contained on Your Site.

After being referred to the Namecheap web site from a link contained on Your Site,
visitors have thirty (30) days to complete their purchase for you to receive a
AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

commission. Should the visitor click on another referral link that is not controlled by
you, or return to the Namecheap web site via another source-coded advertising link
during the initial thirty (30) days, your affiliate link will be overwritten and you will not
receive a commission for that visitor’s purchase.

Enrollment. Enrollment into Namecheap’s Affiliate Program can happen via any of the
platforms indicated on our Affiliate page on our Namecheap website. Affiliates may
switch between platforms but may only enroll on one platform at any given time.

Commissionable Sales. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that Namecheap will only pay
for first-time purchases by new customers. Affiliate will only receive commission for
purchases completed after linking through Affiliate’s unique referral link and completing
such purchases within 30 days of first visiting the Namecheap site. Subsequent
purchases made by the same customer (including by accessing Namecheap’s web site
directly) will not be commissionable. All Namecheap products and services will be
eligible for a commission except premium domains, domains bought at Namecheap
Marketplace and apps.

Restrictions on Eligible Commissions. You are not eligible for a commission payment on
purchases made by you, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors (all
considered your “agents”), as well as purchases made from several accounts owned by
the same person. Commission is paid for the first purchase only made by a certain
person. Namecheap employees (and their immediate family members) are not allowed
to participate in the Namecheap Affiliate Program.

3. AFFILIATE RESTRICTIONS


Linking to Namecheap website. Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Program, links and
banners will be made available to you through the affiliate interface you have selected.

Namecheap Logo Use. You shall not use the Namecheap logo without our prior
approval. In addition, the Namecheap logo shall be removed from Your Site immediately
upon request. Namecheap may lock your affiliate account immediately and withhold
payment of any/all commissions without further notice if you fail to remove the
Namecheap logo from Your Site upon request. For clarity, acceptance into the Affiliate
Program grants permission to use Namecheap’s logos as outlined in the program.

AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

• You may not give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your

4. COMMISSION PAYMENTS 


• We will pay you the commission in effect on the date of each sale; 


• Commission rates are as named in the platform in which you enrolled in our Affiliate

• You acknowledge and agree that, in the case of coupons/sales/discounts/


cashback/loyalty sites, you 
may be offered a lower commission than the standard
rate described above; 


• You further acknowledge and agree that commissions for orders with promotion
coupon codes will be 
earned only when these coupons are exclusively provided
through Namecheap Affiliate Program. For clarity, commissions will not be earned
for sales using any Namecheap coupon code that was not provided through the
platform in which you enrolled. We reserve the right to not pay commissions on any
purchases made with any other coupon codes and such commissions, if paid, will be
reversed.; 


• You acknowledge and agree that, as an independent contractor, you are responsible
for any taxes owed due to commissions paid to you and that you will provide any/all
necessary taxable information to the platform in which you enrolled. You also
acknowledge and agree that failure to comply with this requirement will result in a
forfeiture of your commissions.

You acknowledge and agree that no commission is payable if Your Site:

• Contains software or uses technology that attempts to intercept, divert or redirect


AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

Internet traffic to or from any other web site, or that potentially enables the diversion
of affiliate commissions from another web site. This includes toolbars, browser plug-
ins, extensions and add-ons; 


• Sends traffic to namecheap.com, or any other Namecheap websites, that is generated


by unauthorized traffic channels, e.g. click exchanges, banner exchanges, paid search
advertising, etc; and

• Replaces DNS errors caused by mistyping the domain name namecheap.com with a
page showing the appropriate Namecheap banner or affiliate link to our web site.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in addition to any and all
other rights and remedies to which Namecheap is entitled, Namecheap specifically
reserves the right to: 


• Terminate the Affiliate Program at any time for any reason; 


• Terminate your participate in the Affiliate Program at any time for any reason. If your
participation is terminated, Namecheap will make any commission payments from
validly purchases from Your Site which accrue before the termination date.
Namecheap will not make any commission payments which accrue after the
termination date. You acknowledge and agree that the determination as to whether a
purchase was "validly generated" from Your Site shall be made in Namecheap's sole
and absolute discretion; 


• Suspend your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time for any reason. If you
are suspended, you will not receive any commission payments during your
suspension period, whether such commission payments accrued before or during
your suspension period. After completion of an internal investigation, if you are
allowed to continue to participate in the Affiliate Program, Namecheap will make any
commission payments from valid purchases from Your Site which accrued before or
during your suspension period. You acknowledge and agree that the determination as
to whether a purchase was "valid" from Your Site shall be made in Namecheap's sole
and absolute discretion. 


• Require the forfeiture of any previously earned revenue, which has been paid or yet
to be paid on any purchases you generated or assisted in generating during any times
when you are in violation of this Agreement. 


• Deactivate any and all accounts and domains that Namecheap believes, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to be violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
In
AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

sum, Namecheap will track all commissions earned and may, at its sole discretion,
decide not to pay any commission to you should we believe that any referral has
been made in violation of its guidelines, due to visitor/customer fraud, or due to
visitor/customer contract cancellation. It is your sole and absolute duty to precisely
follow this Agreement and its guidelines, at all times. Namecheap is under no
obligation whatsoever to pay any commission to any affiliate who does not strictly
follow this Agreement and its guidelines, as modified from time to time. 


5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

As an affiliate, we provide you with the links and banners necessary to promote
Namecheap products and services, which you may display in any area of Your Site as you
wish. The links will identify Your Site as a member of our Affiliate Program and will
establish a link from Your Site to ours. You acknowledge and agree it is your sole
responsibility to indicate your correct unique affiliate ID in the promo materials you use
on Your Site. You may 
promote the products and services that Namecheap offers in
any manner you choose unless it misleads visitors about Namecheap services.

You also understand and agree that participation in the Affiliate Program requires
ongoing activity. Should you no longer wish to participate in the Affiliate Program, you
may withdraw by following the guidelines set by the platform in which you enrolled.

If you are an Affiliate directly with Namecheap, you may withdraw by submitting a
Notice of Withdrawal via your Namecheap account panel. Your email to us must
indicate that you will cease use of our advertising tools and remove them from Your
Site. Upon receipt of your email, we will confirm removal of our tools from Your Site.
Once confirmed, we will ensure that you receive final payment for any valid purchases
that are pending commission payment.

Affiliates that are inactive for six (6) months and who have not withdrawn from the
program (“Inactive Affiliates”) may, at Namecheap’s sole discretion, be considered
effectively withdrawn from the program.

6. OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Namecheap is responsible for processing the order, cancellations, returns and other
related customer service for Namecheap products and services. However, Namecheap
will not be responsible for lost sales due to technical difficulties preventing Namecheap
from registering a domain name or providing any other product or service to the visitor.
Namecheap is also responsible for tracking and validating affiliate sales and
commissions and providing this information to the chosen affiliate platform in order to
facilitate payments. Namecheap does not, however, control the payment processing of
AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

commission payments to you by the platform which you selected.

Namecheap will pay out on commissions for valid sales. Valid sales are sales whereby
the customer pays the full, expected price and such sales are not cancelled, reversed,
returned or discounted/voided in any way. Where payment happens through a third
party platform, Namecheap is responsible for payment to the platform you selected and
the platform is specifically responsible for payment to you.

7. FTC DISCLOSURE POLICY

At Namecheap, our aim is to treat customers fairly and, together with our affiliates, to
comply with laws, including all Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations that relate
to advertising. FTC regulations include, but are not limited to, Federal Trade Commission
16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in
Advertising. Among other criteria it requires that material connections between
advertisers and endorsers must be fully disclosed. This means that affiliates that provide
an assessment or endorsement of an advertiser (Namecheap) must disclose financial or
in-kind compensation that is provided by advertiser.

Namecheap reserves the right to withhold referral fees and cancel the affiliate
relationship with you, should we find, at our discretion, that you do not comply with
Namecheap's FTC disclosure policy or any other FTC regulations or guidelines we view as
applicable.

8. PRIVACY: GDPR

The parties agree that Namecheap and Partner will each be a separate processor in
relation to any personal data (i) that is subject to the European Data Protection
Legislation; and (ii) that Namecheap and Partner, respectively, process on behalf of a
customer [or specific term we use for prospects and customers] in connection with the
Affiliate Agreement. The terms “personal data” and “processor” as used in this section
have the meanings given in the European Data Protection Legislation. For the avoidance
of doubt, neither Partner nor Namecheap will be acting as the other party’s processor.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Namecheap shall not be liable for any unauthorized access to, or any corruption,
erasure, theft, destruction, alteration, or inadvertent disclosure of data, information or
content transmitted, received, or stored on its system or any third-party systems. With
respect to passwords, account identifiers and other systems used to control access to
your account, it is your responsibility to safeguard such passwords, account identifiers,
and other systems used to control access to your account.
AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,


INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE OUR
WEB SITE(S) OR THE MATERIALS AND CONTENT OF THE WEB SITE(S) OR ANY OTHER
WEB SITES LINKED TO SUCH WEB SITE(S) OR YOUR PROVISION OF ANY PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD PARTY.
THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED
ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS,
EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH
DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. BECAUSE CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO
