The presence of the Bearable Ltd. link on your site or social media profile will serve to identify you as a member of our Affiliate Programme.

6. The Payment of Commission

6.1) Once a customer has arrived at our App (Bearable) having followed the Link provided by an affiliate, their actions on our app will be tracked for 30 days using an event trigger associated with the affiliates unique link and promo code. Think of each user as having a 30 day conversion window. The affiliate will earn commission on every user’s first order that is placed during the first 30 day period in which they use the app. If a user does not subscribe to Bearable within their first 30 days of using the app, you will not earn a commission on that user. Bearable Ltd. will not be responsible for commissions missed due to the event in any way failing to track the customer from the Link. 

6.2) Once a user has subscribed with an affiliate link, any earned commission is locked for the next 30 days. This is 30 days following the subscription, not the users first session. This is to allow Bearable Ltd. to track refunds associated with affiliate subscriptions. If a subscription made using an affiliate link is refunded in that 30 day window, the value of that commission will be deducted from the affiliate’s next payment. Note that this only applies to refunds and not cancelled subscriptions.

6.3) Affiliates will be paid at the end of the month that follows the 30day refund window. For example, if the affiliate obtains a subscription on December 15th, the earned commission would be locked until January 14th and the payment to the affiliate would be due on January 31st.

6.4) Affiliates will only earn commission fees with respect to activity on our App occurring directly through their unique Link and/or Promo Code.

6.9) Bearable Ltd. reserves the sole right to change the commission balance threshold at any time it sees fit without the prior consent of its affiliates. In the event of a commission balance threshold change, Bearable Ltd. shall notify all its affiliates of the change beforehand. If any modification to the commission balance threshold or the Agreement as a whole is not acceptable to an Affiliate, the Affiliate shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement. If an Affiliate terminates this Agreement for any reason whatsoever then it shall not be entitled to any commission payments earned after it has terminated this Agreement.

6.12) Affiliates that do not reach the $18.99 commission balance threshold in one calendar month will not lose their accrued commission, instead, this commission can be used as a credit.

6.13) Affiliates will only be paid Commissions for the first order made by their referral customer only. Commissions will not be not paid on orders made by existing Bearable Ltd. customers.

Web agencies or resellers purchasing domains or products through their account for other people are encouraged to contact Bearable Ltd. directly for information on how they can become eligible for commission.

6.14) The rates of commission payable to the Affiliate from time to time shall be published on the Site and this shall be included in this Agreement.

6.15) Refunds. A refund can be obtained by a subscriber for up to 30 days following their initial subscription. If a user subscribes to Bearable using an affiliate discount link and later successfully obtains a refund for their subscription.
