General

Ayurveda School Affiliates

The Shakti School affiliate program is by invitation only. By participating in the affiliate program, you are agreeing that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions.

These Terms are in effect upon your acceptance of the affiliate link and will continue unless terminated in writing hereunder. The account you create will allow you to access your secure affiliate account dashboard. The dashboard is an estimation of payout due and a Shakti School member will confirm that this payout is correct. There will be an initial waiting period prior to affiliate balance payments to allow for referrals to register and account for cancellations and refunds. Affiliates balances will be paid out after our refund period has ended. If your referral ends up receiving a refund you will not be paid for the referral.

Affiliates receive an agreed upon percentage of student tuition unless affiliate students drop out of the program or receive a refund. Affiliate payouts are paid in full by July 1 for the program that began the January prior. Affiliate credits are only accrued if you refer someone to the Ayurveda Wellness Coach Certification Program. Referral to another Shakti School program does not warrant payment. We reserve the right, at any time, to review your placement and advertising and require that you change the placement or use in compliance with our branding. If at any time Katie Silcox wishes to end the affiliate relationship, there will be no compensation due.

The LOVEFIT Subscription Affiliates

This Agreement will begin upon your acceptance of the affiliate link and will continue unless terminated in writing hereunder. The estimation of payout due will be done twice annually and a Shakti School member will confirm what the payout is. There will be an initial waiting period prior to affiliate balance payments to allow for referrals to register and account for cancellations and refunds. If your referral ends up receiving a refund you will not be paid for the referral.

Payouts are paid biannually and will equal 10% of payments collected by relevant customers at time of payment. You will receive payment based on your choice of PayPal or check. Affiliate credits are only accrued if you refer someone to the Lineage of Love Subscription. Referral to another Shakti School program does not warrant payment.

Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Shakti School. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won't change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and the Shakti School. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Shakti School properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the Shakti School placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Shakti School product occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Affiliate links should point to the page of the product being promoted.

Referral fees/commissions and payment

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to https://theshaktischool.com and complete an order for a product during that session.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

You may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.

Customer definition

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers.
