Referral program

REFERRAL PROGRAM

Updated 04/22/23.

The AdElevate Referral Policy has been created to act as official AdElevate guidelines on how to effectively represent the AdElevate brand and product range as a recognized referral.

As one of the world's leading email marketing providers, AdElevate specializes in the promotion and direct marketing of commercial products or services and services through email strategies.

We recognize that our high-quality agents invest time and resources to deliver an extraordinary customer experience through trained staff and compelling vendor presentations. To support the efforts of our Referrals, AdElevate desires to establish policies that enable Referrals to earn the earnings necessary to maintain the high level of customer excellence that people expect from AdElevate agents.

To protect the investment of our high quality agents and the reputation of the AdElevate brand within the region, we have unilaterally adopted a Referral Policy ("Referral Policy"). AdElevate established this Referral Policy to ensure brand consistency and because Referral advertising and sales practices, which promote AdElevate Products or Services primarily on the basis of price, should be simplified throughout the Mexico region.

Any or such Referrals operating outside of AdElevate's Referral Policy could be detrimental to the Referral's service and support efforts and AdElevate's competitive position. Such activities may be detrimental to AdElevate's brand, reputation and competitiveness, and allow some Referrals to take advantage of the service and support efforts of others. AdElevate believes these practices are unfair and, therefore, discourages such practices, in its unilateral discretion, will not do business with any Referral, as to Products or Services covered by this Referral Policy, if that Referral intentionally advertises any Referral Product below its Referral price. AdElevate is confident that this program will strengthen its competitiveness and benefit all of its Referrals.

Policy guidelines

Additional guidelines related to the Referral Policy are as follows. AdElevate reserves the right, in its unilateral discretion, to take further action with respect to any Referral that violates this Referral Policy.

1. The Referral Policy will be applied by AdElevate at its sole discretion.
2. AdElevate acknowledges that any authorized AdElevate account may make its own decisions to advertise and sell any AdElevate product or service at any price it chooses without consulting or advising AdElevate. Similarly, AdElevate has the right to make its own independent decision regarding product assignments and participation in Referrals as a member of the AdElevate Referral Program at any time.
3. AdElevate will maintain an updated "Referral Products or Services" list of those products or services or services that will fall under this Referral Policy. AdElevate reserves the right to update or modify this list at any time.
4. All Products or Services listed will have a Reference retail price. Advertising a price other than the Reference retail price in conjunction with the featured Reference Product or Services in any advertising will be considered a violation of this Referral Policy. This Referral Policy applies to all advertisements of Referral Products or Services in any media, including, without limitation, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazine catalogs, mail order catalogs, the Internet, or similar electronic media, including websites, forums, email newsletters, email solicitations, television, radio, and public signage. Such website features as "Click for Price", automated "bounce back" pricing emails, pre-formatted email responses, forms, automatic price display for any item before it is placed in a customer's shopping cart, and other similar features are considered communications initiated by the Referral (rather than by the customer) and constitute "advertising" under this Referral Policy. This Referral Policy also applies to any activity that AdElevate determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this Referral Policy, such as requests for group purchases and the like.
5. It shall not be a violation of this Referral Policy to generally advertise that the Referral has "the lowest prices" or will match or beat the prices of its competitors, or to use similar phrases; provided that the Referral does not include any advertised price below the Referral and complies with this Referral Policy.
6. From time to time, AdElevate may allow Referrals to advertise Referral Products or Services at prices below the Referral retail price. In such cases, AdElevate reserves the right to modify or suspend the Referral retail price with respect to the affected Products or Services for a specified period by providing prior notice to all Referrals of such changes.
7. From time to time, AdElevate may offer a direct rebate from the Seller to customers. In such cases, it will not be a violation of this Referral Policy to advertise the availability of the manufacturer's rebate, provided that (a) the advertisement includes the price in accordance with the Referral, the rebate amount and the net price after the manufacturer's rebate in the same size and type style; (b) an asterisk is placed next to the net price after the manufacturer's rebate; and (c) the "*After Seller's rebate" appears in the same area of the advertisement as the advertised product.
8. Where AdElevate Products or Services are bundled or sold as part of a package that includes other Products or Services (whether or not provided by AdElevate), it shall be a violation of this Referral Policy to sell or advertise the package(s) at a price that: (a) is less than the total AdElevate Minimum Advertised Price or (b) violates the letter or spirit of the Referral Policy. It shall be a violation of this Referral Policy if Products or Services are bundled or sold as part of a package that includes Products or Services not pre-approved by AdElevate. Pre-approved Products or Services have been tested and approved by AdElevate engineers to ensure that the product meets AdElevate's standards. Ask your AdElevate sales representative for a list of approved products or services.
9. It shall be a violation of this Referral Policy to include in any advertising of AdElevate Products or Services any additional discount, coupon, gift card or incentive (whether in the form of a special event, promotion, term of doing business or otherwise) that results in an immediate price reduction, where the cumulative effect would be to reduce the advertised price of any Referral Product or Service. Advertising that includes an additional discount, coupon, gift card, points or any other incentive for future purchases requires official approval from AdElevate. Under no circumstances may discounts, coupons, gift cards, points or any other additional incentives be applied to influence the sale of AdElevate Products or Services unless authorized by AdElevate. AdElevate may, at its own discretion, apply the additional discount, coupon, gift card, promotional code or other incentive. This Section 10 shall not apply to any AdElevate Vendor rebate on AdElevate Products or Services or its partners' Products or Services.
10. It shall not be a violation of this Referral Policy to advertise that a customer may "call for price" or "email for price", or use similar language, specifying AdElevate Products or Services, provided that no price is listed.
11. If a Referral with multiple store locations violates this Referral Policy at any particular store location, AdElevate will consider this to be a violation by all of the Referral's locations.
12. Although Referrals remain free to set their own resale prices, AdElevate reserves the right to cancel all orders and indefinitely refuse to accept new orders from any Referral upon verification by AdElevate that such Referral has advertised any Referral Product or Service at a net retail price less than the then-current Referral or the retail price set by AdElevate, or if the Referral has otherwise violated this policy.
13. AdElevate sales representatives are NOT authorized to discuss this Policy or make any agreements or warranties with respect to AdElevate's Policy regarding advertising or Referral pricing. This also includes any consumer programs or promotions affecting the Referral Products or Services listed below.
14. Reference agrees not to sell or offer for sale any current AdElevate Products or Services over the Internet or any interactive electronic network without AdElevate's prior written approval. AdElevate reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to approve or disapprove the sale or offer for sale by any Referral of AdElevate Products or Services over the Internet or any interactive electronic network. Referral faces possible account termination if this policy is violated.
15. Referrer agrees not to sell or offer for sale any current AdElevate products or services through an Internet website. Referrer agrees not to sell or offer for sale any AdElevate products on any third party website without AdElevate's prior written approval. Current AdElevate Products or Services are defined as those listed as having a referral price. Any Products or Services sold through Internet auctions must be identified as such in the description of the auction item. Referral faces possible account termination if this policy is violated. Products or Services purchased through online auctions are not eligible for warranty coverage.

AdElevate may change these policy terms at any time, and they will be effective as of their date of posting on its website.
