These Terms of Service are entered into by and between you and Zero To Mastery, Inc., a Canadian corporation, (“ZTM” or “Zero To Mastery”) and govern the terms of ZTM’s affiliate program (the "Affiliate Program" or "Ambassador Program"). BY SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AS WELL AS ZTM’S TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY. Your participation in the Affiliate Program is conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms of Service and all terms, conditions, and notices contained herein. Please read the Terms of Service carefully. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Service, you must not participate in the Affiliate Program.
As used in these Terms: (i) “We”, “us”, or “our” refers to Zero To Mastery Inc. and our website; (ii) “you” or “your” refers to the Affiliate; (iii) “our website” refers to our properties located at www.zerotomastery.io; (iv) “your website” refers to any websites that you will link to our website; (v) “Program” refers to our Affiliate Program.
To be eligible for the Program, you must be at least 18 years of age, submit a Program application containing all the information requested (available at: https://links.zerotomastery.io/ambassador_application) and accept these Terms. After receiving your application, we will review it and notify you of your acceptance or rejection into our Program. Please allow up to 5 business days for your application to be reviewed. We reserve the right to reject any application, however we encourage you to contact us if you feel we have made an incorrect decision. Ensuring to complete your application as detailed as possible will help us make a better decision.
We use Teachable to enable this Program. Teachable handles all tracking and payments. Teachable will automatically distribute payouts to you every 30 days (on the first business day of the month). Teachable will also collect the necessary PayPal account information and tax forms from you. You must provide them with the requested information in order to receive your commission payments. You can find additional details related to Teachable here and here.
You will receive commission for Qualified Referrals to Zero To Mastery. The percentage of commission may change at any time and without notice.
"Qualified Referrals" mean customers referred by you to Zero To Mastery who: (1) click on your unique tracking link; (2) within thirty (30) days of clicking on your unique tracking link, successfully purchase, a monthly or yearly subscription for Zero To Mastery Academy; and (3) maintain an active account and the monthly or yearly subscription with Zero To Mastery Academy for a minimum of thirty-one (31) days.
Affiliates who share the same personal/company details, including but not limited to, last name, email address, IP address, website details, or commission payment details, as their referred customer will be deemed to have made a “Self-Referral.” Referral commission and any earnings associated with this type of “Self-Referral” will not be paid. Zero To Mastery, in its sole discretion, will determine the classification of any referral as a “Self-Referral.”
Referrals made to current Zero To Mastery Academy customers will be considered “Current Customer Referrals" and referral commission and any earnings associated with Current Customer Referrals will begin accruing after the referral was made. You will not receive referral commission for a Current Customer Referral for any payments the customer made to Zero To Mastery before the referral. Zero To Mastery, in its sole discretion, will determine the classification of any referral as a “Current Customer Referral.”
A purchase of a ZTM gift certificate is not considered a Qualified Referral.
A student that joins the Zero To Mastery Academy via a free coupon code or trial is not considered a Qualified Referral.
Commissions earned on referrals become payable 30 days after the referred customer becomes a Qualified Referral.
If at any time a Qualified Referral files a credit card dispute, any earned Affiliate commission on the disputed charge shall become frozen in the your account until the dispute is settled. You will not receive any interest on commissions that have been frozen. If the dispute is settled in Zero To Mastery’s favor, any associated earned Affiliate commission will become payable to you. If the dispute is settled in the Qualified Referral’s favor, any associated earned Affiliate commission shall not be paid to you. If commissions have already been paid out to you, the amount of earned commissions on the disputed charges shall be debited to your account.
Commission payments will be paid in US Dollars and may be made via Teachable (this will require you to have a Paypal account). You are responsible for paying all applicable fees associated with accepting payments, including but not limited to, currency conversion fees, transaction fees, withdrawal fees and deposit fees. Commissions are paid out on the first business day of each month.
In order to receive payments for earned commissions, you must provide Teachable any contact and tax information requested. You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including, without limitation, income tax liabilities, that arise from or in any way relate to any commissions paid out to you by Zero To Mastery.
Zero To Mastery reserves the right to request documentation in order to approve your account. These requests may be made during the Affiliate Program application process or at any time while you have an active account in the Affiliate Program. If requests for documentation are not responded to in a timely manner, Zero To Mastery reserves the right to terminate, deactivate, or not approve your account.
You shall bear your own costs and expenses related to marketing and promoting Zero To Mastery and/or the Affiliate Program. Zero To Mastery is not obligated to reimburse or credit you for any marketing expenses.
You may not engage in any of the following marketing activities and represent and warrant that your marketing practices do not violate any of these restrictions:
We want to assure we maintain a very low reversal rate by having open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these Terms of Service.
Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our Terms, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.
If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
Zero To Mastery may, in its sole discretion, terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time, with or without cause, and without warning or notice. Without limiting the foregoing, Zero To Mastery reserves the right to terminate your account if it has been inactive for 12 consecutive months. Zero To Mastery reserves the right to terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program and not pay the accrued balance if you have been deemed to breach Zero To Mastery’s Terms of Use or these Terms of Service or engage in any conduct that Zero To Mastery deems to be illegal, improper, unfair, or otherwise adverse or detrimental to Zero To Mastery.
In Zero To Mastery’s sole discretion, affiliate accounts generating a large number of fraudulent accounts or that are associated with any false or misleading advertising or suspected fraudulent activity will be deactivated.
You may terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time. You may discontinue your participation in the Affiliate Program by removing your affiliate links from your website and no longer promoting them. For accounting purposes, Zero To Mastery’s systems will retain Your account and personal information. By terminating your participation in the Affiliate Program, you waive your right to be paid any unpaid commissions and you assign (by way of future assignment) all of your rights and ownership of any commissions which we are holding to your account. You will not receive any commissions which are earned after the date of termination.
Upon termination, all rights granted to you shall immediately terminate.
Neither these Terms of Service nor your participation in the Affiliate Program creates any employment, independent contractor, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and Zero To Mastery.
During the term of these Terms of Service and for one (1) year after it has expired or been terminated, You agree that You will not disparage Zero To Mastery, its officers, directors, or employees or otherwise take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Zero To Mastery’s reputation. Under these Terms of Service, “disparage” includes, but is not limited to, any negative statement, whether written or oral, about Zero To Mastery, its officers, directors, or employees. You agree and acknowledge that this provision is a material term of the Terms of Service, the absence of which would have resulted in Zero To Mastery refusing to enter into this agreement.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Affiliate Program complies with applicable law and does not violate the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, intellectual property rights. You assume all liability for any claims, suits or grievances filed against you, including, but not limited to, all damages related to participation in the Affiliate Program.
