The Gene Keys Affiliate Program is available to all Gene Keys Guides and approved Network Partners. By participating in this program, you are consenting to the terms of use as outlined below.The purpose of this Agreement is to set clear, concise terms regarding the relationship between Gene Keys Limited (“GKL”) and the Affiliate, with the Gene Keys Vision of mutual respect, in service of Synthesis, Synarchy and Syntropy. This agreement is not a license agreement. Affiliates are empowered to promote and share existing Gene Keys products to generate commissions based on referral sales.

Affiliates are granted:

• Ability to generate commissions on referral sales by using the affiliate tools provided
• Access to media assets and resources to support promotional campaigns
• Access to the Affiliates Newsletter for additional offers and invitations

Though GKL strives to provide improved resources for tracking clicks, sales, and customers we cannot guarantee the reliability that all referral sales will be tracked by the current affiliate tools provided. 

Affiliates understand and agree to:

• the terms of use and privacy policy for genekeys.com
• additional affiliate policies listed below including use of paid advertisements
• honour the Gene Keys Approach and the Gene Keys Noble Code while working with the Gene Keys, Gene Keys Community, or Gene Keys Limited (GKL)
• share only information related to the Gene Keys courses which have been officially approved and published by GKL; 
• honor the intellectual property rights of Richard Rudd and Gene Keys Publishing by citing the author’s name for any excerpts and using links for genekeys.com for any related courses or products
• not to carry out work in breach of GKL or of any other third-party Intellectual Property Rights, which obligation includes not to share, reproduce, record, copy, disseminate or distribute any Gene Keys material and content without the permission of GKL and/or the original author, as applicable; 
• indemnify GKL for any costs, claims, loss or damages suffered by GKL or any Gene Keys Company, due to breach of this Agreement. 

Payout Requirements & Schedule

• Payouts are made via PayPal merchant service and require each affiliate to have a PayPal account to receive commissions.
• Payouts for earned referrals take place at the beginning of each calendar month, no later than the 10th of the month. Total referrals of $10 or more are paid by PayPal. Due to online processing fees, if your total referral for any month is less than $10, the referrals will not be paid. 
• Due to our 30-day refund policy, payouts will not be made on referral sales for at least 30 days in the next appropriate billing cycle. For example, all referral sales made in the month of January will not be paid out as a commission to affiliates until March. 
• Though it may not be your preferred payout option, at this time, we do require the use of Paypal for an affiliate based in a country that accepts this Paypal payments. If you work in a country that does not accept Paypal payments, please contact affiliates@genekeys.com.

Affiliate Payouts for Online Retreats & pre-sale items

Unlike normal products, online retreats and pre-sale items have a refund policy that allows customers to request a no-questions-asked refund up to 30 days AFTER THE EVENT/PRODUCT START DATE.

If registration opens 1-2 months before the online retreat or course launch, this can mean that the order could be 3 months before its refund policy is complete. A refund report will be calculated 30 days after the event begins and then cross-referenced with Affiliate Payouts. If there are any orders that were already paid out to Affiliates, but are now refunded, the total ineligible commissions will be deducted from that affiliate in a future month’s payout to compensate for the now rejected order. This method will ensure that Affiliates do not have to wait 3-4 months before receiving their commission, but Gene Keys will not be overpaying for orders that are no longer valid for Affiliate Commission.

For pre-sale products, or late registration retreat sales made after the official start of the retreat, the refund policy and affiliate payout procedure return to the standard 30-day policy from date of purchase.

Automatic Credits/Deductions for Affiliate Payouts

In the event of ineligible referrals being paid out to Affiliates, or a credit is needed for a referral that was misappropriated by an error in the system, we will apply the deduction or credit to the next month’s Affiliate Payout period. You should see the change in affiliate referrals reflected on your Affiliate dashboard, though if you have any questions about a deduction or credit applied to your account, you can always reach out to affiliates@genekeys.com and we can review your account with you.

Fixing referral errors and manual commission payments

• Though GKL strives to provide improved resources for tracking clicks, sales, and customers we cannot guarantee the reliability that all referral sales will be tracked by the current affiliate tools provided. 
• Due to the high admin cost and technological limitations, we cannot guarantee that we can fix referral errors or offer manual commission payments.

As more features become available, we will inform our affiliates. 

Can I get Affiliate Commission on my own personal purchases?

The only people who can get a commission on your purchases are another affiliate (if you use someone else’s affiliate URL) or the scholarship fund (which you can gift the commission forward during the checkout process).

If you are a Guide, you are being gifted with 30% discount for most digital products instead of getting any sort of payout on your own purchases.
