Affiliate program terms

Article 1: Preamble

This document sets out the General Terms of the affiliate program (hereinafter the “Terms”) established by Esprit Web (hereinafter “the Company” or “Stripy”), registered under SIRET number 853 453 033 00021, and represented by Thomas Mairé.

Stripy is online software (SaaS) for creating installment payment links via Stripe.

Any participation in the affiliate program implies full and complete acceptance of these Terms. The Affiliate acknowledges having read and accepted them by ticking the box provided for this purpose when registering for the program.

Article 2: Definitions

Affiliate: any natural or legal person with professional status, registered with the affiliate program to promote Stripy’s services in exchange for commissions.

Referral (or End customer): any natural or legal person who signs up to Stripy and subscribes to its services via the affiliate link provided to the Affiliate.

Affiliate link: unique link generated by Stripy to track sign-ups and payments made through the Affiliate.

Commission: remuneration paid to the Affiliate for qualified sign-ups made via their affiliate link.

Attribution window: period during which a sign-up is attributed to the Affiliate after a click on their affiliate link.

Stripe Connect: connected account created on the Affiliate’s Stripe account and used by Stripy to pay their commissions.

Article 3: Eligibility

To take part in the affiliate program, the Affiliate must:

• be at least 18 years old;
• have a valid professional status (self-employed, company or any other legal form allowing the issuing of invoices and the declaration of income received);
• have a valid means of communication (website, blog, social networks, video channel, etc.);
• have an active Stripy account;
• provide accurate and complete information when registering for the program;
• connect a valid Stripe account via Stripe Connect in order to receive their commissions.

The Company reserves the right to refuse an application or suspend an affiliate account without having to give a reason.

Article 4: How the program works

Registration and access

The affiliate program is open to any user with a Stripy account. To join, the Affiliate fills in the registration form available in their Stripy area and accepts these Terms. A personal affiliate link is then assigned to them.

Attribution of sign-ups

A sign-up is attributed to the Affiliate when a Referral creates a Stripy account within 60 days of their first click on the affiliate link. After this period, the sign-up is no longer attributed to the Affiliate.

If several different affiliate links are clicked, the sign-up is attributed to the last link clicked within the attribution window.

Authorized promotion

The Affiliate may promote Stripy’s services only by lawful and ethical means. The following are strictly prohibited:

• spam practices;
• false or misleading advertising;
• self-referral (using one’s own link for one’s own account);
• bidding on the “Stripy” brand keyword or its variants in paid advertising without prior written authorization;
• any action that may harm Stripy’s reputation.

Performance tracking

Sign-ups and payments generated via the affiliate link are tracked by an automated system. The Affiliate has a dashboard to view their performance and commissions.

Article 5: Commissions

Commission rate

The commission rate is set by default at 30% of the revenue, excluding taxes, generated by the paid subscriptions taken out by the Referral (Business and Premium plans).

The commission applies exclusively to the price of subscriptions. The fees charged by Stripy on users’ payments (service fees) are expressly excluded from the calculation basis and are not paid to the Affiliate.

Consequently, a Referral using Stripy’s free plan generates no commission for the Affiliate, regardless of the volume of payments processed.

The commission rate may be changed for a given Affiliate following negotiation and written agreement between both parties.

Commission duration

The Affiliate receives their commission on a recurring basis, for as long as the Referral keeps an active paid subscription on Stripy (Business or Premium plan). The commission ceases to be due as soon as the Referral cancels, suspends or does not renew their paid subscription, including if they continue to use Stripy on the free plan without deleting their account.

Validation and payment

Commissions are validated manually by Stripy. Consequently, no fixed payment date is guaranteed; payment is generally made within approximately one month of validation.

No minimum threshold is required to trigger a payment.

Commissions are paid via Stripe transfers to the Affiliate’s Stripe Connect account. The Affiliate is solely responsible for keeping this account valid: they undertake not to delete it, deactivate it or render it inoperative. If the Stripe Connect account is invalid, deleted or unable to receive a transfer, the payment of commissions may be suspended or cancelled, without Stripy being held liable.

Refunds, cancellations and unpaid amounts

If a payment giving rise to a commission is cancelled, refunded, disputed (dispute/chargeback) or unpaid by the Referral, the corresponding commission is not due. If it has already been paid, it will be deducted from future commissions or must be repaid by the Affiliate.

Article 6: Affiliate’s obligations

The Affiliate undertakes to:

• comply with the laws and regulations in force in the course of their promotional activities;
• not use Stripy’s trademarks, logos or content without prior authorization, other than the materials provided by the Company;
• maintain a valid Stripe Connect account to receive their commissions;
• bear sole responsibility for all tax, social security and reporting obligations relating to the commissions received, and issue the corresponding invoices where applicable.

Article 7: Company’s obligations

The Company undertakes to:

• provide the Affiliate with the tools needed for promotion (affiliate link, dashboard and, where applicable, communication materials);
• track sign-ups and payments and calculate the commissions due;
• pay validated commissions under the conditions set out in Article 5.

Article 8: Limitation of liability

The Company cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect loss, damage or harm resulting from participation in the affiliate program, except in the event of gross or intentional misconduct. In particular, the Company cannot be held liable for a service interruption, a malfunction of the tracking system, or a failure of the Affiliate’s Stripe Connect account.

Article 9: Termination of the affiliate program

The Affiliate may end their participation in the program at any time by informing the Company by email at contact[@]stripy.fr.

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate an affiliate account without notice in the event of non-compliance with these Terms or abusive use of the program. In the event of proven fraud, unpaid commissions will be cancelled.

Termination of the Affiliate’s Stripy account automatically ends their participation in the affiliate program.

Article 10: Confidentiality and data protection

Information exchanged between the Company and the Affiliate as part of the affiliate program is confidential and may not be shared with third parties without prior agreement.

Personal data collected as part of the program is processed in accordance with applicable regulations (GDPR). The Affiliate has the right to access, rectify and delete their data by writing to contact[@]stripy.fr.

Article 11: Applicable law and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to their performance or interpretation shall, failing amicable resolution, be submitted to the competent French courts.

Article 12: Changes to the Terms

The Company reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. The Affiliate will be informed of changes by email. Continued participation in the program constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
