Affiliate Program Terms

Agreement to these terms

These Affiliate Program Terms (“Affiliate Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (the “Affiliate”, “you”) and SIA Karto (“Jepex”, “we”, “us”), the company behind Jepex. They govern your participation in the Jepex affiliate program (the “Program”). You accept them when you confirm in writing that you join the Program (an email reply is enough), and in any case when you first share a Creator Code.

You enter these Affiliate Terms as a business (a self-employed professional or a company acting in the course of its trade) and not as a consumer. They apply alongside our Terms of Service, which continue to govern your own use of Jepex, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not join the Program.

Definitions

• Program: the Jepex affiliate (referral) program described in these Affiliate Terms.
• Service: the Jepex website (jepex.app) and the Jepex applications, as defined in our Terms of Service.
• Creator Code: the promotional code we assign to you in writing: an App Store offer code for purchases in the Apple App Store, a Stripe promotion code for purchases on our website, or both (normally the same code on both). We set the discount a Creator Code gives the customer, its validity period, and any redemption limit when we assign it.
• Campaign: the period during which a Creator Code can be redeemed, as stated when we assign the code.
• Referral: a customer who redeems your Creator Code and whom our records attribute to you.
• Qualifying Sale: a Referral’s first subscription payment, made with your Creator Code, that meets the conditions in “Commissions & qualifying sales”.
• Commission: the amount you earn on a Qualifying Sale under these Affiliate Terms.

Joining the program

You apply to join the Program in writing, by email to hello@jepex.app or by replying to our invitation. To join and remain in the Program you must:

• be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract;
• act as a business: you confirm that you participate as a self-employed professional or through a company, in the course of your trade or profession, and that you will declare your Commission income accordingly;
• provide accurate information when applying (including your legal name, country, and payout details) and keep it up to date;
• not be a competitor of Jepex, and not use the Program to build or promote a competing product;
• warrant (on an ongoing basis, for as long as you participate) that neither you nor, if you are a company, your beneficial owners appear on the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List or any other sanctions list applicable to us or to our payout providers, and that you are not located in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions; you will tell us promptly if any of this changes.

We accept applications at our sole discretion and may decline or revoke acceptance without giving reasons. One Program membership per affiliate; duplicate memberships may be merged or closed.

Our relationship

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable right to participate in the Program and to promote Jepex using your Creator Code in accordance with these Affiliate Terms.

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Affiliate Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint-venture, or franchise relationship between you and SIA Karto. You have no authority to bind us, accept terms on our behalf, vary our prices, or make commitments or representations in our name, and you may not present yourself as our employee or official representative.

If you involve others in your promotion (employees, contractors, or an agency) you remain fully responsible for their acts and omissions as if they were your own, and you may not authorise anyone to promote Jepex who is not bound by these Affiliate Terms.

Commissions are consideration for customer-referral (performance-marketing) services. They are not royalties, licence fees, or payment for content or intellectual property.

Referred customers are Jepex customers: their contract, billing, and support relationship is with us (or with Apple, for App Store purchases), and their personal data is processed under our Privacy Policy. You promote Jepex through your Creator Code only. You never receive referred customers’ personal data through the Program (your statement by email shows Referral and Commission totals), and you acquire no rights in our customers or customer relationships.

The Program is non-exclusive in both directions: you may promote other products, and we may run other marketing and work with other affiliates.

Commissions & qualifying sales

For each Qualifying Sale attributed to you, you earn 20% of the net revenue we receive from that payment: what is left after the store’s commission, taxes, discounts, refunds, and chargebacks. By channel, that means:

• Website purchases: the amount the referred customer actually pays us for their Jepex subscription, net of discounts and credits, and exclusive of VAT and other taxes, refunds, and chargebacks. Commission is calculated on the discounted amount actually charged, not the list price.
• App Store purchases: the amount Apple pays us for the purchase, after Apple’s commission and taxes, and net of refunds.

Commission is paid once per Referral, on the first subscription payment made with your Creator Code. Renewals and later payments earn no Commission, even if the subscription remains active.

That first payment is a Qualifying Sale only if:

• the customer is a new paying customer: the referred subscription is their first paid Jepex subscription; renewals or upgrades by people who were already paying customers do not qualify;
• the purchase is attributed to you as described in “Attribution”;
• the customer is not you, anyone acting on your behalf, or an account you control (no self-referrals);
• the payment is actually charged and is not subsequently refunded, reversed, or charged back (see “Holding period, refunds & clawbacks”); and
• the sale was not obtained through any method prohibited by these Affiliate Terms.

All Commission amounts are denominated in euros (EUR).

Attribution

A purchase is attributed to you when the customer redeems your Creator Code for it:

• App Store purchases: the customer redeems your Creator Code in the Apple App Store through the redemption link we give you. We take these redemptions from Apple’s reports and RevenueCat’s records.
• Website purchases: the customer enters your Creator Code at checkout on our website. We take these redemptions from Stripe’s records.

The Creator Code is the only attribution method. There are no referral links, cookies, or other tracking in the Program, so a purchase made without your Creator Code is not attributed to you, however the customer heard about Jepex. A Creator Code can be redeemed only while it is valid and, where it carries a redemption limit, until that limit is reached. We may deactivate or replace a Creator Code at any time, for example when a Campaign ends or if the code leaks; Referrals attributed before the deactivation are unaffected.

Our records (Apple’s reports, RevenueCat and Stripe) are conclusive for attribution and Commission calculation, absent manifest error. Your statement reports what they record for you.

Holding period, refunds & clawbacks

New Commissions start as pending. A pending Commission becomes due once a holding period of 30 days from the underlying charge has passed without a refund, reversal, or chargeback. The holding period exists to cover our refund handling for the underlying sale.

If a charge is later refunded (wholly or partly), reversed, disputed, charged back, or found to be fraudulent or obtained in breach of these Affiliate Terms, the related Commission is recalculated or cancelled: a full refund cancels it, and a partial refund reduces it proportionally. If we have already paid out a Commission that is later cancelled or reduced, we may deduct the difference from any amounts we owe you or require repayment within 30 days of our notice.

If we reasonably suspect that a Commission, a Referral, or your promotional activity involves fraud, attribution manipulation, or another breach of these Affiliate Terms, we may suspend the affected Commissions and withhold the related payouts while we investigate. We investigate promptly and in good faith: Commissions the investigation clears return to the normal payout schedule, and Commissions it confirms as fraudulent or obtained in breach are cancelled.

Payouts

We pay Commissions per settlement period. A Campaign of three months or less is one settlement period. A longer Campaign is divided into consecutive three-month settlement periods from its start, with any shorter final period ending when the Campaign ends. Once the holding period of the last redemption in a settlement period has passed, we send you a statement by email listing the Referrals, refunds, and Commissions of that period, and SIA Karto pays the due balance for it in one payout, in euros (EUR), by PayPal or bank transfer, normally within 45 days after the settlement period ends. There is no minimum payout.

Check each statement: if you disagree with it, tell us in writing within 30 days of receiving it and we will review it with you; a statement not disputed in that time is accepted. We correct manifest errors at any time.

You must give us valid payout details and keep them up to date. You bear any processor fees, currency-conversion costs, and charges applied by your own bank or payment provider. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by a payout processor or by inaccurate details you provide; a balance we cannot pay out for those reasons remains due to you until the problem is corrected.

Taxes & invoicing

You are solely responsible for all taxes, levies, and social-security contributions that apply to your Commissions in your jurisdiction, and for declaring this income. Commission amounts are exclusive of VAT.

Payouts are documented through our Campaign statements, a consolidated invoicing arrangement, or a self-billing arrangement we agree with you. You agree to provide the information this requires (your legal name, address, tax residence, and, where applicable, tax identification, VAT or business registration number) and to keep it accurate. Where the law requires us to withhold tax from a payout, we do so and state the withheld amount on your statement.

Prohibited promotional methods

You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:

• Spam or unsolicited messaging. Send unsolicited bulk or commercial email, SMS, or direct messages to promote Jepex, or otherwise promote in any way that violates the US CAN-SPAM Act, the EU ePrivacy and GDPR rules on direct marketing, or any other applicable anti-spam or data-protection law.
• Trademark and brand bidding. Bid on, purchase, or use in any paid-search, paid-social, or PPC campaign (including Google, Microsoft/Bing, and Meta ads) any keyword, ad copy, or display URL consisting of or confusingly similar to “Jepex”, “SIA Karto”, our other trademarks, common misspellings of them, or those terms with modifiers (for example “jepex coupon”), or direct-link such ads to our website or checkout.
• Attribution manipulation. Generate redemptions of your Creator Code that are not genuine purchases by real customers acting on their own informed choice, for example through fake or duplicate accounts, stolen or fraudulent payment methods, automated redemptions, or purchases made in order to be refunded.
• Self-referrals. Use your own Creator Code to purchase Jepex for yourself, your business, or any account you control.
• Selling or passing on your code. Sell, auction, trade, or transfer your Creator Code, or let anyone else present it as their own.
• Misstating the offer. Present the offer inaccurately. Say what the discount applies to and until when the code is valid, and do not describe the subscription as free, one-off, or non-renewing: it renews at the regular price unless cancelled, as the App Store and our checkout state.
• Unauthorised incentives. Offer cash-back, rebates, rewards, or any other incentive of your own for redeeming your Creator Code or subscribing with it, unless we have authorised the incentive in writing.
• False or misleading claims. Make any false, deceptive, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated statement about Jepex, its features, pricing, or results, or misrepresent your relationship with us.
• Coupon and deal-site abuse. Distribute or submit to coupon, deal, voucher, or cashback sites any discount or Creator Code except those we have expressly authorised for that channel, or create, leak, or use unauthorised, expired, or fabricated codes. If your Creator Code appears on such a site without our authorisation, we may deactivate and replace it, and redemptions traced to the leak earn no Commission.
• Improper placement. Promote Jepex on or through content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, sexually explicit, hateful, or that targets children.

Any breach of this section may result, at our sole discretion, in forfeiture of all affected and pending Commissions, reversal or clawback of Commissions already paid, suspension or termination of your participation, and any other remedy available at law, in addition to your indemnity obligations.

Disclosing your affiliate relationship

Whenever you promote or recommend Jepex, or share your Creator Code, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that you are a Jepex affiliate and may earn a commission. You are solely responsible for complying with all advertising-disclosure laws that apply to your audience, including:

• in the United States, the FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), including the duty under §255.5 to disclose a material connection that your audience would not reasonably expect; and
• in the European Union, the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005/29/EC (as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/2161), including the prohibitions on hidden advertising and on undisclosed paid editorial or search content, and the national laws implementing them, in Latvia, the Unfair Commercial Practices Prohibition Law, enforced by the Consumer Rights Protection Centre (PTAC).

Your disclosure must be:

• easy to notice and understand, placed close to the recommendation or the code and before any “read more” break;
• in the same form and medium as the promotion: in a video, both on-screen and spoken; and
• not hidden in a bio, footer, hashtag cluster, hover text, or behind a separate link.

Labels such as “#ad”, “paid partnership” (including a platform’s own paid-partnership tag), “affiliate code”, or “I earn a commission when you subscribe with my code” are acceptable when displayed as described above. You may not represent that you are an employee or official representative of SIA Karto, and you will indemnify us for any claim arising from your failure to disclose.

Using the Jepex brand

For as long as you participate in the Program, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Jepex name, logo, and marketing materials we provide, solely to promote Jepex in accordance with these Affiliate Terms and any brand guidelines we give you.

You may not register or use any trademark, company name, domain name, social-media handle, or app name that contains or is confusingly similar to our trademarks, and you may not modify our logo or combine it with your own branding. Paid-keyword use of our marks is prohibited under “Prohibited promotional methods”. All goodwill arising from your use of our trademarks inures to SIA Karto.

We may ask you to correct or remove any promotional material that refers to Jepex (whether or not it uses our trademarks) and you will comply promptly. This licence ends when your participation ends, and you will stop using our brand promptly if we ask you to.

Confidentiality

You will keep confidential any non-public information you learn through the Program (for example individually offered commission terms, performance and conversion data, or unreleased features) and use it only to participate in the Program. This obligation does not cover information that is public through no fault of yours or that the law compels you to disclose (tell us first, where lawful), and it survives the end of these Affiliate Terms.

Your data

To run the Program, we process the personal data you provide when joining (such as your name, address, email address, tax details, and payout details) and the data the Program generates (Creator Code redemptions, Referrals, statements, and Commission records). We keep these records ourselves and send you a statement by email after each Campaign; the redemption and purchase figures come from Apple’s reports, RevenueCat and Stripe. Details of how we handle personal data and your rights are in our Privacy Policy.

You are independently responsible for your own marketing channels, including any consent, cookie, or direct-marketing obligations you have towards your audience under the GDPR, the ePrivacy rules, and equivalent laws.

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, the Affiliate acts as an independent controller in relation to any personal data collected or processed through its own marketing activities, websites, social media accounts or other promotional channels. Nothing in these Affiliate Terms creates a joint controller relationship between the Affiliate and SIA Karto within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR.

Term, termination & commissions

These Affiliate Terms apply from the moment we accept your application until terminated. Either party may terminate at any time, without cause, with 30 days’ written notice (email is sufficient). We may also suspend or terminate your participation immediately if you materially breach these Affiliate Terms, manipulate attribution or commit fraud, or if sanctions or other legal requirements oblige us to.

After a no-fault termination by either party (including our discontinuing the Program): Commissions already earned, including on redemptions made before the termination takes effect, remain payable under the normal holding and payout schedule. Forfeiture of Commissions is reserved for breach and fraud: if we terminate for cause, Commissions affected by the breach are forfeited, and where the breach involves fraud or attribution manipulation, all pending Commissions are forfeited and our clawback rights in “Holding period, refunds & clawbacks” apply.

On termination you will stop presenting yourself as a Jepex affiliate, stop using our brand and marketing materials, and stop actively distributing your Creator Code; we may deactivate your Creator Code.

Changes to the program or these terms

We may change the Program (including the commission rate and the payout timing and methods) and may update these Affiliate Terms, with at least 30 days’ written notice by email. New Creator Codes and Campaigns, with their discount, validity, and limits, are set when we assign them and need no notice.

Changes apply prospectively only. No change reduces Commissions already earned before its effective date, and a change to the commission rate applies only to Referrals attributed on or after the effective date, unless the change is in your favour. If you do not accept a change, you may terminate before it takes effect; continuing to participate after the effective date means you accept it.

Disclaimers, liability & indemnity

The Program is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee any level of earnings, traffic, conversions, or attribution, nor uninterrupted availability of the Service, the App Store, or our checkout. Attribution depends on the customer redeeming your Creator Code and on Apple’s, RevenueCat’s and Stripe’s records, as described in “Attribution”. We remain free to run our business as we see fit (to change prices and plans, to accept, refuse, or refund any sale, and to add or discontinue products) and Commissions arise only on payments actually charged, as described in “Commissions & qualifying sales”.

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses or lost profits, and our total liability under these Affiliate Terms is limited to the total Commissions paid and payable to you in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Affiliate Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

You will indemnify and hold harmless SIA Karto against all claims, fines, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by third parties or authorities and arising from: your promotional content and methods; your breach of these Affiliate Terms; your failure to disclose your affiliate relationship as required by “Disclosing your affiliate relationship”; your violation of advertising, anti-spam, or data-protection law; or your failure to meet your tax obligations.

General provisions

• Assignment. You may not assign these Affiliate Terms or your Commissions without our prior written consent. We may assign them to a group company or a successor in a merger or sale.
• Entire agreement. These Affiliate Terms are the entire agreement about the Program. Your use of the Service itself remains governed by the Terms of Service.
• Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the provision is replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its intent.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Survival. Accrued payment obligations, and the sections on confidentiality, brand and intellectual property, liability and indemnity, and governing law, survive termination.
• Notices. We send notices to the email address you joined the Program with; you send notices to legal@jepex.app.
• Language. These Affiliate Terms are concluded in English.

Governing law & disputes

These Affiliate Terms are governed by the laws of Latvia, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Because you enter into them as a business, the courts of Latvia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. We would like to resolve any dispute informally first. Please email legal@jepex.app before taking other steps.
