Affiliate - Terms

This Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Detailed Vehicle History (“Detailed Vehicle History” or “we”), and the party submitting an application to become a Detailed Vehicle History affiliate (“Partner”). The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement apply to Partner’s participation withdetailedvehiclehistory.com/affiliate-program (“Affiliate Program”). In connection with the Affiliate Program, Partners may see offers (each, an “Offer”) by Detailed Vehicle History or a third party (each such third party a “Client”) that may link to a specific web site for that particular Offer (“Program Web Site”). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms that are incorporated as part of this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, Partner expressly consents to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the individual accepting this Agreement represents that he or she has the authority to bind the Partner to the terms of this Agreement.

Enrollment in the Affiliate Program

Partner must submit a Affiliate Program application from Detailed Vehicle History’s website. Partner must provide accurate and complete information in Partner’s application. After Detailed Vehicle History reviews Partner’s application, Detailed Vehicle History will notify Partner of Partner’s acceptance or rejection to the Affiliate Program. Detailed Vehicle History may accept or reject Partner’s application at Detailed Vehicle History’s sole discretion for any reason.

Obligations of the Parties

Subject to Detailed Vehicle History’s acceptance of Partner as an affiliate and Partner’s continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Detailed Vehicle History agrees as follows:
  1. Detailed Vehicle History will make available to Partner via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Program Web Site and/or other creative materials (collectively, the “Links”) which Partner may display on web sites owned or controlled by Partner, in emails sent by Partner and in online advertisements (collectively, “Media”). The Links will serve to identify Partner as a member of Detailed Vehicle History’s Affiliate Program and will establish a link from Partner’s Media to the Program Web Site.
  2. Detailed Vehicle History will pay Partner for each Qualified Action (the “Commission”). A “Qualified Action” means an individual person who (i) accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Program Web Site, (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person (as determined by Detailed Vehicle History), (iii) is not using pre-populated fields, (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by Detailed Vehicle History, and (v) is not later determined by Detailed Vehicle History to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified or a duplicate user.
  3. Detailed Vehicle History will pay Partner any Commissions earned on a monthly basis, provided that the total Commissions to be paid by Detailed Vehicle History  is greater than $25. Accounts with a balance of less than $25 will roll over to the next month and will continue to roll over monthly until the $25 minimum is reached. Detailed Vehicle History reserves the right to charge back to Partner’s account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later found not to have met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
  4. Payment of Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to Detailed Vehicle History, and therefore, Partner agrees that Detailed Vehicle History shall only be liable to Partner for Commissions to the extent that Detailed Vehicle History has received such funds from the Clients.
  5. Detailed Vehicle History shall automatically generate an invoice on behalf of Partner for all Commissions payable under this Agreement and shall remit payment to Partner based upon that invoice. All tracking of Links and determinations of Qualified Actions and Commissions shall be made by Detailed Vehicle History in its sole discretion. In the event that Partner disputes in good faith any portion of an invoice, Partner must submit that dispute to Detailed Vehicle History in writing and in sufficient detail within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. If Partner does not dispute the invoice as set forth herein, then Partner agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims or challenges based upon that invoice. In the event that Partner is also tracking Qualified Actions and Partner claims a discrepancy, Partner must provide Detailed Vehicle History with Partner’s reports within three (3) days after the 30th day of the calendar month, and if Detailed Vehicle History’s and Partners reported statistics vary by more than 10% and Detailed Vehicle History reasonably determines that Partner has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then Detailed Vehicle History and Partner agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then Detailed Vehicle History’s numbers shall govern.
  6. If Partner has an outstanding balance due to Detailed Vehicle History under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Partner and Detailed Vehicle History, whether or not related to the Affiliate Program, Partner agrees that Detailed Vehicle History may offset any such amounts due to Detailed Vehicle History from amounts payable to Partner under this Agreement.
Partner also agrees that:
  1. It has sole responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of, and all content on or linked to, the Media.

  3. It will not make any representations, warranties or other statements concerning Detailed Vehicle History or Client or any of their respective products or services, except as expressly authorized herein.
  4. The Media does not copy or resemble the look and feel of the Program Web Site or create the impression that the Media is endorsed by Detailed Vehicle History or Clients or a part of the Program Web Site, without prior written permission from Detailed Vehicle History.
  5. It will comply with all (i) obligations, requirements and restrictions under this Agreement and (ii) laws, rules and regulations as they relate to its business, its Media or its use of the Links.

Partner shall filter its email list by removing any entries appearing on the Suppression List and will only send emails to the remaining addresses on its email list. Detailed Vehicle History will provide an opt-out method in all Links, however, if any opt-out requests come directly to Partner, Partner shall immediately forward them to Detailed Vehicle History at support@detailedvehiclehistory.com. Partner’s emails containing the Links may not include any content other than the Links, except as required by applicable law.
    1. Partner agrees that failure to download the Suppression List and remove all emails from the database before mailing may result in Commission withholdings, removal or suspension from all or part of the Affiliate Program, possible legal action and any other rights or remedies available to Detailed Vehicle History pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Partner further agrees that it will not mail or market to any suppression files generated through the Detailed Vehicle History network, and that doing so may result in Commission withholdings, removal or suspension from the Affiliate Program, possible legal action and any other rights or remedies available to Detailed Vehicle History pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
  2. Advertising Campaigns. No Links can appear to be associated with or be positioned on chat rooms or message or bulletin boards unless otherwise agreed by Detailed Vehicle History in writing. Any pop-ups/unders used for the Affiliate Program shall be clearly identified as being served by Partner in the title bar of the window and any client-side ad serving software used by Partner shall only have been installed on an end-user’s computer if the function of the software is clearly disclosed to end-users prior to installation, the installation is pursuant to an affirmatively accepted and plain-English end user license agreement and the software be easily removed according to generally accepted methods.
  3. Partner Network Campaigns. For all Partners that maintain their own partner networks, Partner agrees to place the Links in its partner network (the “Partner Network”) for access and use by those partners in the Partner Network (each a “Third Party Partner”). Partner agrees that it will expressly forbid any Third Party Partner to modify the Links in any way. Partner agrees to maintain its Partner Network according to the highest industry standards. Partner shall not permit any party to be a Third Party Partner whose web site or business model involves content containing Objectionable Content.

The purpose of the GDPR Addendum is to ensure such processing is conducted in accordance with applicable laws, including EU Data Protection Legislation, and with due respect for the rights and freedoms of individuals whose Personal Data are processed.

Definitions

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this GDPR Addendum have the same meanings as set out in the Agreement.

Data Protection Legislation: (i) unless and until the GDPR is no longer directly applicable in the UK, the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and any national implementing laws, regulations and secondary legislation, as amended or updated from time to time, in the UK and then (ii) any successor legislation to the GDPR or the Data Protection Act 1998.

Applicability

Applicability. This GDPR Addendum shall only apply to the extent Partner is established within the European Union (“EU”) or Switzerland or the United Kingdom and/or to the extent Network processes Personal Data of Data Subjects located in the EU or Switzerland or the United Kingdom on behalf of Partner.

Data Protection

Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This Section 1 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations under the Data Protection Legislation.

The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Partner is the data controller and Network is the data processor (where Data Controller and Data Processor have the meanings as defined in the Data Protection Legislation).

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 1.1, the Partner, as Controller, shall be responsible for ensuring that, in connection with Partner Personal Data and the Services, (i) it has complied, and will continue to comply, with all applicable laws relating to privacy and data protection, including EU Data Protection Legislation; and (ii) it has, and will continue to have, the right to transfer, or provide access to, the Personal Data to Network for processing in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this GDPR Addendum.

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 1.1, Network shall, in relation to any Personal Data processed in connection with the performance by Network of its obligations under this agreement:

  1. process that Personal Data only for the purposes set forth in the Agreement and Schedule 1 and only in accordance with the lawful, documented instructions of Partner, except where otherwise required by applicable law. Any processing required outside of the scope of these instructions (inclusive of the rights and obligations set forth under the Agreement) will require prior written agreement of the parties. Where Network is relying on laws of a member of the EU or EU law as the basis for processing Personal Data, Network shall promptly notify the Partner of this before performing the processing required by the Applicable Laws unless those Applicable Laws prohibit Network from so notifying the Partner;
  2. ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organizational measures, available for review and approval by the Partner, to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorized or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting Personal Data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to Personal Data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organizational measures adopted by it);
  3. ensure that all personnel who have access to and/or process Personal Data are obliged to keep the Personal Data confidential; and Network complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation by providing an adequate level of protection to any Personal Data that is transferred;
  4. assist the Partner, at the Partner’s cost, in responding to any request from a Data Subject and in ensuring compliance with its obligations under the Data Protection Legislation with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators. For the avoidance of doubt, Partner is responsible for responding to Data Subject request for access, correction, restriction, objection, erasure or data portability of that Data Subject’s Personal Data;
  5. notify the Partner without undue delay on becoming aware of a Personal Data breach;
  6. upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and within a reasonable amount of time, delete or make available to Partner for retrieval all relevant Personal Data in Network’s possession; except to the extent that Network is required by any applicable law to retain some or all of such data. Network shall extend the protections of the Agreement and this GDPR Addendum to any such Personal Data and limit any further processing of such Personal Data to only those limited purposes that require the retention; and
  7. maintain complete and accurate records and information to demonstrate its compliance with this Section 2.4.

The Partner consents to Network appointing third-party processors of Personal Data under this agreement, including TUNE (“Sub-processors”). Network confirms that it has entered or (as the case may be) will enter with the third-party processor into a written agreement substantially similar to those set out in this Agreement. As between the Partner and Network, Network shall remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any Sub-processor appointed by it pursuant to this Section 2.5.

Network may, at any time on not less than 30 days’ notice with email sufficing, add or make changes to the Sub-processors. Partner may object in writing to Network’s appointment of a new Sub-processor within five (5) business days of such notice, provided that such objection is based on reasonable grounds relating to data protection. In such an event, the parties will discuss such concerns in good faith with a view to achieving resolution. If Network cannot provide an alternative Sub-processor, or the parties are not otherwise able to achieve resolution as provided in the preceding sentence, Partner, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate the Agreement.
