Affiliate Commissions Payment

Each hosting account referred to Host IT Smart results in a one-time referral fee given to the Affiliate Partner. When a particular customer clicks on an affiliate tracking link for the first time, completes the sign-up procedure within 365 days, and remains active for 365 days, it counts as a referral.

Your affiliate account must be active at the time of the sale. No commission is due for sales made before registering for our Affiliate Program.

Affiliates commission is approved after 60 days from the date of client purchase. (E.g., Customer’s order date is 01-03-2022, the Commission Approved date would be 01-05-2022)

The affiliate account is given a Rs 1250 sign-up bonus, which will be handed out to the affiliates once they have earned Rs 2,000 in commission. 1250 (bonus) plus 2000 will make up the first payout (commissions).

Affiliates must earn a minimum of 2000 before the affiliate account is qualified for payment.

The initial bonus will expire unless the affiliate refers at least two new customers within six months.

Affiliate commissions are paid on the 20th of every month for the previous month.

Affiliates can only earn a commission if they refer new customers. Commissions for orders placed by repeat customers through affiliates will be rejected. An existing customer's renewal or purchase of another hosting service does not qualify the affiliate for a commission. Affiliate commissions are applicable on Annual or above subscriptions only.

Orders cancelled/refunded/Downgraded, or Host IT Smart suspends the services for any reason, then affiliates are not eligible for the commission.

We reserve the right to deduct from your current and future commissions and all commissions paid out for fraudulent sales (false information, fake/stolen credit cards), questionable, cancelled, or Downgraded.

All of your information must be regularly updated, including your name, postal and email addresses, payment information, tax information, and any other personal data that may affect our ability to complete a commission payout.

Commission payments will be put on hold until we obtain the necessary information, including your tax information.

Affiliates can check the status of their commission earned in their affiliate dashboard.

Affiliates are paid via PayPal and NEFT (Note: For NEFT payments, affiliates must email affiliates@hostitsmart.com with their bank information). Please contact the affiliate department if your payment information needs to be updated.

The affiliate program's system determines the commission based on the total cost, which includes the cost of the product or service, GST, and payment gateway fees. Before paying out your commission, we will exclude the GST and payment gateway fees.

We explicitly reserve the right to change the payout process and procedure in our sole and exclusive consideration. And if there are any changes in the payout process, you will be notified prior.

Deactivation Policy

You can cancel and terminate your affiliate account anytime by contacting us through your Affiliate Area. We will send you written confirmation that your account has been terminated.

After the affiliate account is terminated, the affiliate must remove all Host IT Smart marketing materials, logos, links, and slogans from their website within three business days. This clause will remain in effect even after the Agreement is terminated. After this Agreement expires, the Affiliate shall not be permitted to utilise Host IT Smart's trademarks, logos, or slogans and shall refrain from taking any actions that could negatively impact Host IT Smart's reputation and brand, as well as its commercial relationships with its existing and potential clients.

Once an affiliate account is terminated, we will stop tracking the linked sales, and you will no longer be eligible to receive affiliate commissions in the future. Any commissions that are still owed at the time of termination will be given to the Affiliate after any applicable holding period and in accordance with a regular payout cycle. If we close your account due to a breach of our T&C, there won't be any unpaid commissions owed.
