Welcome to
VastTrips
The following
terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations that govern the use of
our Affiliate Programme with the VastTrips website.
Updated
July 23, 2020
General
These Terms and
Conditions (the "Affiliate Agreement") govern the Affiliate Programme
that is made available by VastTrips Limited ("VastTrips.com", “VastTrips”,
"we" or "us"). These Terms and Conditions represent the
whole agreement and understanding between Vasttrips.com and the individual or
entity who participates in the Affiliate Programme (the "Affiliate",
or "you").
Please read this
agreement careful as it represents a legally binding agreement between you and
Vasttrips.com. By your use of the Affiliate Programme, you agree to comply with
all of the terms and conditions set out in this Affiliate Agreement. VastTrips.com
may terminate your Affiliate Account at any time, with or without notice, for
conduct that is in breach of this Affiliate Agreement, for conduct that
VastTrips.com believes is harmful to its business, or for conduct where the use
of the Affiliate Programme is harmful to any other party.
Referral Tracking
VastTrips will
provide the Affiliate with specific Referral Links to link advertisements and
other marketing content to vasttrips.com. VastTrips will track users who have
visited these Referral Links using cookies which expire after 7 days. Only
users who make a purchase while the cookie is active will be considered
referrals of the Affiliate and recorded as such in the Affiliate Dashboard.
The Affiliate is
not authorized to modify or alter the Referral Links or the cookies in any way.
VastTrips is not responsible for any tracking or reporting errors that may
result from any modifications to the Referral Link or the cookies.
Affiliate Commissions
A referral commission
will become eligible for payout ("Eligible Referral") at the end of
the next calendar month if it meets all of these criteria:
1. The referral makes a booking for any services
on the site and has paid in full.
2. The referral's account remains active and in
good standing.
3. The referral's account has not had any of its
payments refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed.
4. The referral’s booking was not cancelled on or
before the commission payout date.
All Affiliate payments
will be payable in United States Dollars only, except as otherwise determined
by VastTrips in its sole discretion. The minimum affiliate payout amount is 10
USD for Local Bank Transfers. Affiliates with less than this amount will have
their commission rolled to the next calendar month.
Payment will be
made through PayPal or to a Local Bank. The Affiliate is responsible for
providing VastTrips with the full and accurate details that are required to
remit the Affiliate commission, and is solely responsible for any delays in
payment resulting from its failure to do so.
In the event of
any activity deemed suspicious by VastTrips, the payment of Affiliate payments
may be delayed by up to 6 calendar months to verify the relevant transactions.
VastTrips reserves the right to recalculate, void, or disqualify any referrals
or Affiliate commissions in the event of any fraudulent, deceptive or otherwise
illegal activity.
Advertisements
VasTrips hereby
grants the Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use
VastTrips logos for the sole purpose of promoting our service within the context
of the Affiliate Programme. This license will expire upon termination of the
Affiliate's participation in the Affiliate Programme.
The Affiliate may
only display advertisements that contain VastTrips logos or service marks in
good taste. The Affiliate may not use VastTrips logos or service marks in a
manner that, in VastTrips sole discretion, portrays VastTrips in negative
light.
The Affiliate
will be solely responsible for its own marketing activities. All marketing
activities must be professional and in full compliance with all applicable
laws.
VastTrips may,
without prior notice, require the Affiliate to remove or modify any advertisements
in VastTrips sole discretion.
Termination
The Affiliate may
terminate the Affiliate's participation in the Affiliate Programme with
immediate effect by giving the other party a written notice of termination via
email.
VastTrips
reserves the right to terminate the Affiliate's participation in the Affiliate Programme
at any time for conduct that is in material breach of this Affiliate Agreement
or for conduct that VastTrips, in its sole discretion, deems to be harmful to
its business or any third party.
Upon termination,
the Affiliate will lose access to its Affiliate Dashboard and will forfeit all
potential or unpaid Affiliate commissions.

VastTrips and the
Affiliate are independent contractors. Nothing in this Affiliate Agreement will
create any partnership, employment, representative, agency, or joint venture
