Affiliate Terms of Service

Affiliate Publisher Services Agreement

Last Modified: March 9, 2022

Hey Sumo-filiates! Welcome to our super boring (but according to our lawyer, totally necessary) AppSumo Affiliate Agreement (the “Agreement”). This Agreement governs the relationship between Sumo Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AppSumo", “we”, “us”, or “our”), and you (“Affiliate”, “you” or “your”), with respect to the advertising service (the "Service") offered through www.AppSumo.com (the "Site" or “Marketplace”) and the service owned and operated by Impact Radius, Inc. (“Impact Radius”) (together, the Site and Impact Radius are the “Platform”). To be clear, both an affiliate network of third-parties (an “Affiliate Network”) and any of such Affiliate Network’s affiliates are an “Affiliate” under the terms of this Agreement. An Affiliate Network specifically agrees that it shall at all times ensure that its affiliates comply with the Agreement and that it shall be liable for the actions and omissions of its affiliates. Finally, Affiliate and AppSumo may also be individually referred to herein as "Party" and collectively as "Parties.”

Please read the entire agreement because your participation in AppSumo’s affiliate programs binds you to all the terms of this Agreement but (not to be too negative) here are some important examples of what you cannot do when you participate in our affiliate program (not that you would, or course):

Buying AppSumo deals for the purpose of reselling or trading
Promoting with a coupon code that AppSumo has not authorized you to use
Promoting on cashback, discount, coupon, or deal sites such as
Reaching out to the folks who are listing their digital products on our marketplace (our “Partners”). As you can imagine, they’re crazy busy!
Promoting products in ways that competes, or interferes, with AppSumo’s or its Partners’ marketing efforts or are misleading to consumers.
“Bid matching” against AppSumo’s or its current or past Partners’ brands or products or
Suggesting in your ad copy that it is coming from AppSumo or its Partners.
Targeting audiences of current or past AppSumo customers, including through AppSumo's email lists or social groups or pages on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Quora, and LinkedIn).
Targeting audiences other than entrepreneurs and businesses.
Not being cool

By using our tools, affiliate codes, or otherwise participating in our affiliate programs, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of each of those agreements, you cannot register as an Affiliate; use the Service; or access the Platform. If you participate in the Service on behalf of an entity, whether it is the company you work for directly or indirectly (this includes if you are an affiliate of another affiliate, for example), you agree that you have the authority to do so and are deemed to have accepted this Agreement on behalf of such entity.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Participation in Advertiser Programs.

a. Advertising Programs. AppSumo uses the Platform for its affiliate marketing program. An affiliate marketing program ("Advertiser Program") is a campaign in which an Affiliate or its agent used one or more media channels, including websites (domain or portion of a domain within the Internet as may be accessed by URLs), social media pages, blogs, video channels, groups and/or subscription emails (each, an “Affiliate Medium”) to earn financial compensation ("Affiliate Fees") for sales generated ("Transactions") from such Affiliate Medium through a purchase made by a customer ("Customer") on the Site. AppSumo works with its Partners to offer products and services to Customers at reduced prices (each a “Deal”).

b. AppSumo Promotions. AppSumo may establish and offer Advertiser Programs in connection with AppSumo’s own promotional efforts. One such Advertiser Program is AppSumo’s Self Listing Partner Referral Program through which AppSumo shall pay flat- fee Affiliate Fees to an Affiliate that causes a product owner to have its product listed on the MarketPlace. The terms and conditions applicable to the Self Listing Partner Referral Program shall be set forth in an Electronic Insertion Order (as defined below), but do keep in mind that (i) the product listed must be an original product submitted by the owner of the product; (ii) the Affiliate Fees paid will vary dependent upon the product category; and (iii) AppSumo has sole discretion in determining whether a product owner can list its product on the AppSumo Marketplace.

c. Accessing Advertiser Programs. Affiliate may apply to Advertiser Programs for the opportunity to earn Affiliate Fees by promoting certain Deals and other Advertising Programs, as may be available from time to time, in accordance with the applicable Advertiser Program terms and this Agreement. AppSumo may at its sole discretion deny an Affiliate’s application to Advertiser Programs, terminate or suspend an Affiliate’s access to the Advertiser Programs or the Platform, or terminate this Agreement. If approved by AppSumo for acceptance into an Advertiser Program, Affiliate may use the Platform in accordance with the applicable terms of the Advertiser Program and this Agreement.

d. Electronic Insertion Orders. AppSumo from time to time may post to the Platform an electronic insertion order (“Electronic Insertion Order” or “EIO”) setting forth the terms and conditions of an Advertiser Program, including those in connection with Transactions, Affiliate Fees, qualifying parameters, and maximum spend limits and caps on the amount of Affiliate Fees may be earned. EIOs become legally enforceable rights and obligations binding on the Parties upon acceptance. AppSumo can, at any time, for any reason, and without notice, terminate, suspend, or modify an EIO, including a modification to Affiliate’s commission structure and Affiliate Fees. Impact Radius shall not be a party to the Agreement and/or EIOs, and the terms of the EIOs are strictly between AppSumo and Affiliate. Any conflict between provisions of this Agreement and provisions of the applicable EIO shall be resolved in favor of the provisions of the EIO. Please print a copy of EIOs for future reference.

e. Grants to Affiliate. In connection with each Advertiser Program for which Affiliate’s participation has been authorized by AppSumo, AppSumo grants to Affiliate the right to link to the Site or web offers and earn Affiliate Fees in accordance with the Advertiser Program terms in the applicable EIO and this Agreement. Furthermore, subject to this Agreement and the terms of the applicable Advertiser Program and the duration of each EIO, AppSumo grants to Affiliate a revocable, non-transferable, royalty free, license to use the Site, and the Creative supplied by AppSumo or applicable Partner through the Platform to the extent necessary only for the Affiliate to perform its obligations under each EIO. Such license shall be automatically revoked with respect to an applicable Partner at the termination of such applicable Partner’s Deal. Affiliate shall not remove or alter any copyright, service marks or trademark notices. AppSumo reserves any and all rights not explicitly granted in the Agreement.

2. Affiliate Requirements and Restrictions.

a. Registration. To use the Site and Platform as an Affiliate, you must provide AppSumo with truthful, accurate and complete registration information, including information you provide concerning all Affiliate Mediums that you intend to use. If any such information changes, you must immediately contact AppSumo to update your registration information.

b. Multiple Accounts. Affiliates may not create multiple accounts on the Platform. For example, an Affiliate may not purchase on behalf of others products on the Site using more than one account on the Platform. Leveraging multiple accounts may result in the suspension of any and all accounts used by Affiliate.

c. Valid Information. Affiliate agrees to maintain and provide AppSumo with valid information about Affiliate and Affiliate's promotional methods, including account and contact information, Affiliate Mediums to be used, URLs used by Affiliate (including URLs of all of your affiliates, if you are an Affiliate Network) that you shall include in the “Shared ID” column in the Platform, and any other information requested by AppSumo or a Partner (“Registration Information”). AppSumo has the right to confirm and check the truth and accuracy of any Registration Information at any time. Please note that the verification of your registration information, specifically, name, address and tax identification number, against third-party database(s) may be considered under certain laws to constitute a "credit check" and you hereby consent to any such verification process. Notwithstanding that, your participation in the Services does not depend on your credit worthiness or financial stability. If any Registration Information is determined by AppSumo to be missing, misleading, inaccurate, or untruthful, or in any way negatively impacts AppSumo, AppSumo may (i) suspend or terminate your account and your access and use of the Services, Platform and the Site; (ii) revise the terms of any EIO (for example, to disable and deny payment in connection with certain Affiliate Mediums or URLs); and (iii) clawback any benefits derived from your participation in any Advertiser Program, including the withholding or forfeiture (in whole or in part) of any Affiliate Fees.

d. Legal Compliance. Affiliate agrees that it shall comply with all laws and regulations and will not engage in spamming, unlawful mass emailing or any unapproved emailing or in any way fail to comply with the CAN SPAM Act of 2003, 15 U.S.C. 7701, et seq., as amended, or any comparable laws (including, but not limited to, the California version of CAN-SPAM), rules or regulations in any country from or to which Affiliate is accessing the Site, Platform or the Services or participating in any Advertiser Program, that govern email marketing and advertising. Affiliate agrees that it shall operate its Affiliate Mediums and publish Creative (defined below) in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) guidance, including the FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, and the FTC’s Enforcement Policy Statement Concerning Deceptively Formatted Advertisements and Native Advertising Guide for Businesses.
e. Personally Identifiable Information of Visitors. Affiliate represents and warrants that Affiliate will not enable the tracking code to collect personally identifiable information (including, but not limited to, email addresses) of Customers or potential Customers that would allow for the identification of such Customer or potential Customer.

f. Privacy Policies. You will ensure that any and all websites that are used by you in connection with your participation in any Advertiser Programs will feature an easy-to-understand privacy policy, linked, at a minimum, conspicuously from such website's home page, with a link that contains the word "Privacy", "Legal", "Terms" or similar language. Such privacy policy shall, in addition to the disclosures about your privacy practices, identify the collection, disclosure and use of any information related to an end user that you provide, or may provide, to AppSumo or other websites or persons. Such privacy policy shall also provide information on your use of tracking technologies, such as cookies, including tracking technologies enabled by AppSumo at your request or on your behalf. The website you use must also include, where required, information regarding the removal of cookies and other tracking technologies.

h. Promotional Method Restrictions.

(i) Intellectual Property Rights. Affiliate represents and warrants that its promotional activities will not infringe on AppSumo’s or its Partner's intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright and trademark rights. Affiliate shall not create or use any Affiliate Mediums on behalf of AppSumo that use the AppSumo or Partner’s trademark(s), brands, or brand elements, without AppSumo’s written permission. Affiliate may use AppSumo or Partner’s name to describe the Deal in a factual manner. AppSumo reserves the right to withhold, refuse or withdraw approval of any Affiliate Mediums or other marketing channels for any reason, whatsoever, in AppSumo's sole discretion.

Except in connection with its operation of Affiliate Mediums, Affiliate shall not disclose Creative to a third party.

AFFILIATE AGREES TO REVIEW THE AVAILABILITY OF CREATIVE THAT IT HAS PLACED WITHIN ITS MEDIA ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS THE AFFILIATE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE CREATIVE WITHIN ITS MEDIA WHEN THE CREATIVE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM. APPSUMO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY AFFILIATE WHEN A DEAL OR SPECIFIC CREATIVE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM.

Altering, removing or disabling Tags is grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement and applicable EIOs, without notice to you, and you shall forfeit all fees to which you may otherwise be owed. You will not, nor knowingly permit any person to, activate Creatives or inflate the amount of Transactions through any deceptive or misleading practice, method or technology including, but not limited to, the use of any spyware, device, program, robot, Iframes, hidden frames , redirects, spiders, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent methods designed to appear like an individual, real live person performing an Transaction.

3. Affiliate Fees.

a. Tracking Affiliate Fees. Advertiser Program data compiled by AppSumo including, but not limited to, numbers and calculations regarding Transactions and associated Affiliate Fees ("Program Data"), will be calculated by AppSumo through the use of Impact Radius tracking software and shall be final and binding on you. Any questions regarding the Program Data must be submitted in writing within fourteen (14) days of initial appearance in the tracking system; otherwise the Program Data will be deemed to be accurate and accepted by you. Affiliate understands and agrees that on occasion the Service, the Platform, and the Site may be inaccessible, unavailable or inoperable. AppSumo will attempt to provide the Service on a continuous basis, but is under no obligation to provide the Service or maintain the availability of the Site on a continuous or uninterrupted basis. AppSumo's failure to deliver the Service despite its efforts does not represent a failure to meet the obligations of this Agreement.

b. Access to Tracking and Reporting Tools. AppSumo shall provide Affiliate with access to tracking and reporting tools via the Platform, and to other various support services that may be updated from time to time.

c. Payment of Affiliate Fees.

(i) Payout. Subject to other provisions in this Agreement and unless otherwise stated in an EIO, all tracking and payment processing facilities in relation to the tracking of Transactions and Affiliate Fees shall be provided through Impact Radius. Impact Radius shall aggregate payments due from AppSumo to the Affiliate and make payments to the Affiliate in accordance with the payout rate agreed to in each EIO. AppSumo shall have no obligation to make payment of any Affiliate Fees in connection with Transactions for which all payment due AppSumo has not been finalized or “cleared.” All Affiliate Fees will be paid in US Dollars ($US).

(ii) Threshold. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Affiliate Fees will be issued for any amounts due to Affiliate that total less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) ("Payment Threshold"). Upon termination of this Agreement, all Affiliate Fees due to Affiliate that were actually collected, even amounts below the Payment Threshold, will be paid during the next billing cycle. If AppSumo suspects that Affiliate has earned Improper Fees (as defined below), AppSumo may delay payment of Affiliate Fees until it completes its review of the suspected Improper Fees.

(iii) Chargebacks. A Transaction can be canceled or returned by a Partner or AppSumo (“Chargeback”) if: (a) the Transaction is incomplete; (b) if a Customer has canceled or returns a Transaction; (c) if the Transaction has been made fraudulently or in an otherwise non bona fide manner; (d) if the Transaction is carried out by a person who is outside the area serviced by the applicable Partner; (e) if the applicable Partner is unable to ship goods to a customer in relation to the Transaction or (f) there is any failure on the part of the Affiliate to comply with this Agreement and/or the terms of the applicable EIO. Each EIO may state the period of time within which a Partner or AppSumo may apply a Chargeback. If no such period is stated, then the default period shall be seventy (70) days.

(iv) Fraud / Breach of Terms. AppSumo monitors traffic, Transactions, Affiliate Fees and other Advertiser Program-related activities for Affiliate Fees generated by (a) engaging in fraudulent activity; (b) breach of the terms of this Agreement; or (c) generating fees after a Deal has ended (collectively, “Improper Fees”). Improper Fees include, but are not limited to, funds generated by an Affiliate’s purchases of AppSumo products, including those purchases made on behalf of the Affiliate, using such Affiliate’s AppSumo affiliate link. Upon the request of AppSumo, Affiliate shall take down all deal promotions associated with expired deals. AppSumo reserves the right to reverse any commissions in connection with expired deals and terminate Affiliate’s account if Affiliate fails to comply with such request within three (3) days.

If AppSumo suspects that your account has been used to generate Improper Fees, your account may be deactivated effective immediately and without notice to you, pending further investigation. AppSumo shall in its sole judgment determine whether you generated Improper Fees, and you agree to be bound by any and all such determinations. It is the obligation of Affiliate to prove to AppSumo that it has NOT engaged in fraud or earned Improper Fees. If, within seven (7) days of your Affiliate Fees being placed in "Pending or Delayed Status" you have not provided AppSumo with evidence satisfactory to AppSumo that Affiliate has not generated Improper Fees, then AppSumo may terminate your account and cancel payments in connection with Improper Fees. AppSumo shall have no further obligations to you. For the avoidance of doubt, if you add Transactions, or inflate Transactions, through the use of fraudulent means of traffic generation, as determined solely by AppSumo, you will forfeit all of the Affiliate Fees related to that Advertiser Program, and your account may be terminated effective immediately. If AppSumo discovers any previously paid Improper Fees, then upon three (3) days’ prior written notice (i) Affiliate shall pay to AppSumo an amount equal to the Improper Fees and (ii) AppSumo may reduce any Affiliate Fees currently owed to Affiliate by such amount. AppSumo’s aforementioned notice shall set forth the amount of Improper Fees previously paid to Affiliate.

(v) Taxes. Every Affiliate must have a unique, valid taxpayer identification number, valid Social Security Number, or other applicable unique government identification. Affiliate shall be responsible for all applicable taxes or applicable Paypal fees. Affiliate shall provide AppSumo with a recently executed W-9 or W-8-BEN (as applicable) at least once a year. AppSumo may withhold payment of some or all Affiliate Fees until a recently executed W-9 or W-8-BEN (as applicable) has been provided by Affiliate.

4. Confidentiality and Early Access Information.

Each Party will take commercially reasonable actions designed to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party from misappropriation and unauthorized use or disclosure, and at a minimum, will take precautions at least as great as those taken to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law. Upon request of the other Party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party will return to the other or destroy all materials, in any medium, which contain, embody, reflect or reference all or any part of any Confidential Information of the other Party. This Agreement and the terms herein and in any EIOs shall be the Confidential Information of AppSumo. Either Party will be entitled to seek preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief from any violation or threatened violation of this Section 4 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

"Confidential Information" means all confidential and/or proprietary information and documents furnished or disclosed by or on behalf of a Party or its affiliates, no matter when or how furnished or disclosed. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, (a) all nonpublic information relating to a Party's or its affiliates' technology, business plans, agreements, promotional and marketing activities, finances and other business affairs, and (b) all third party information that a Party or its affiliates is obligated to keep confidential. Confidential Information may be contained in tangible materials, such as drawings, data, specifications, reports and computer programs, or may be in the nature of unwritten knowledge. Confidential Information does not include any information that (w) has become publicly available without breach of this Agreement, (x) can be shown by documentation to have been known to the receiving Party at the time of its receipt from the disclosing Party or its affiliates, (y) is received from a third party who did not acquire or disclose such information by a wrongful or tortious act, or (z) can be shown by documentation to have been independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information.

Select Affiliates may be provided with information concerning Deals prior to the disclosure to other AppSumo Affiliates (“Early Access Information”). Affiliates who receive Early Access Information shall not disclose it to any third party until and unless such Early Access Information becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement. Disclosure of Early Access Information by an Affiliate in violation of this Agreement is grounds for immediate termination of Affiliate’s account and this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliate authorizes AppSumo to use Affiliate's otherwise protected information subject to the provisions of this Section 4 related to confidentiality of Affiliate's identification and marketing data.

5. Notices.

Except as provided elsewhere herein, Affiliate must send all notices relating to this Agreement in writing via email to affiliates@appsumo.com.
