Affiliate Links
- As a Minut Affiliate, you will be provided with an Affiliate Link. This is unique to you and used to track your Referred Customers, Qualifying Purchases, and Commission Fee.
- Your Affiliate Link may also contain a discount for Referred Customers purchasing through your link. Any discount for the Referred Customer is automatically applied at the Minut store checkout for purchases made using your unique referral link.
- The discount for the Referred Customer is two months off the first year of subscription of all Minut Standard, Pro, or Pro+ Plan(s) purchased in their first order. The discount is applied per rental unit and does not apply to hardware, shipping, customs charges, and taxes.
- The discount for Referred Customers may change from time to time. You will be notified via email of any changes.
Qualifying Purchase Criteria
Under the Program, you will be paid Commission for each Qualified Purchase by a Referred Customer that you refer to Minut in accordance with these Terms. Each Referred Customer and each Qualified Purchase must meet the following criteria:
- The Referred Customer is a new and unique customer to Minut, meaning they have never had an active Minut subscription.
- The Referred Customer visits the Minut website through your Affiliate Link. We use last-click attribution; if the Referred Customer visits the Minut website through someone else’s Affiliate Link or another tracked link from another Minut promotion (such as our Refer A Friend Program) after your Affiliate Link, you will not earn Commission on that purchase.
- The Referred Customer makes a purchase within 30 days of the initial click-through. If they fail to purchase within those 30 days and later return without following your Affiliate Link, you will not earn Commission on that purchase.
- The purchase was not combined with any other offers or promotions.
- The purchase and payment must be made in full via the Minut website or any subdomains. Any purchases made via invoices, manual payment, or similar, do not meet the Qualified Purchase criteria.
- The Referred Customer activates their Minut subscription and it remains active for at least 30 days.
Commission
- The commission is 15% of the annual plan list price, and it is not paid on any purchase of hardware, shipping fees, customs and tax. Commission applies to the list price of the annual plan(s) purchased in the Referred Customers’ initial purchase, any subsequent purchases or future payments will not be eligible for commission.
- We will only pay Referral Fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay Commission if someone says they purchased through your Affiliate Link but it was not tracked by our system.
- Customer payments refunded or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for Commission.
- We reserve the right to disqualify Commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
- The Commission structure may vary by Affiliate and is subject to change at our discretion.
Payment
- Commissions are distributed by a third-party platform, Tremendous. Supported payout options vary by country and currency, please refer to https://www.tremendous.com/catalog/ to view which option(s) is available for you. Minut’s Affiliate Program payout options include PayPal USA, PayPal International, Gift Cards, and Charities only.
- You will be notified of any Commission earned via email, and successful referrals will be tracked in your Affiliate Account dashboard after the Referred Customer has activated their subscription for at least 30 days. This may take up to a total of 60 days from the time of your Referred Customers’ activation of their Minut subscription.
