Enrollment
You may apply to enroll in our Affiliate Program by submitting an online application here. If we do not respond to your application within 30 calendar days of receipt, then your application is deemed rejected. If and once your application is approved, you will be assigned an Account with a user name (of your choosing or assigned by us) and a password.

Failing to activate your Account within 30 calendar days of being assigned one will result in termination of your Account and your participation in the Affiliate Program. Upon activation of your Account, you will be deemed an Affiliate, and the present agreement shall enter into full force and effect.
Leads and Customers
As an Affiliate, you will be given certain marketing or promotional content in the form of embedded links, banners, text links, GIFs, videos, and/or other material (“Promotional Material”) which contain a unique tracking link tied to your Account which you can place on your website, application, social media platforms, and/or other channels in order to promote Laughingbird Software and drive your visitors and users to our website, www.laughingbirdsoftware.com, to purchase and/or subscribe to Laughingbird Software. You hereby agree to implement good faith and reasonable best efforts to implement such promotional activity.
Persons who click on the Affiliate Link will be taken to the respective webpage of www.laughingbirdsoftware.com to purchase and/or subscribe to Laughingbird Software, and such persons shall be deemed a prospect customer, or Lead, from the moment of clicking on the Affiliate Link. In order to track a Lead to becoming a Customer, the Affiliate Link relies on cookies, so the Lead cannot have cleared their cookies prior to becoming a Customer.
A Lead may then proceed to purchase a downloadable product, download a free product, and/or subscribe to Laughingbird Software, at one of the available plans, including any available free plans. Upon doing any of the above, a Lead becomes a Customer, and any Revenue actually received by us from the Customer shall be subject to Commission provided that all eligibility requirements are met as provided below.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Lead who subscribes to a free plan or downloads a free product shall also be deemed a Customer, and in case said Customer later subscribes to a paid plan. or purchases a downloadable product, any Revenue then actually received by us from the Customer shall be subject to Commission provided that all eligibility requirements are met as provided below.
Finally, sometimes, the same customer may have clicked on the affiliate links of two different affiliates. In such cases, that customer shall be deemed the lead of the affiliate whose affiliate link that customer has clicked last, determined at our sole discretion.
Eligibility Requirements
In order for Revenue actually received by us from a Customer to be subject to Commission, the following eligibility requirements shall be met.
Eligibility requirements for Affiliates
In order to be eligible to receive a Commission, the Affiliate must be in full compliance with the terms of this agreement, including the Laughingbird Software Terms and Privacy Policy, as relevant. The Affiliate must also have (i) agreed to the terms of this agreement; (ii) have an active and current Account, (iii) have a valid and up-to-date PayPal account or other acceptable payment collection method and updated the Affiliate Dashboard with the same (iv) completed any and all required tax documentation in order for us to process any payments that may be owed to you.

In addition to the foregoing, if a subscription is involved, the Customer shall be subscribed to Laughingbird Software continually for Revenue actually and unconditionally received by us from the Customer to be subject to Commission, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Customer purchases Laughingbird Software, and then cancels the subscription, and then re-subscribes, Commission shall be paid on revenues actually received for the Laughingbird Software subscription prior to cancellation, but not on those received for the Laughingbird Software subscription after cancellation and re-subscription. The same applies regardless of whether the Lead had or has subscribed to a free or paid plan(s).
If a Lead is not valid or if a Customer terminates its purchase of Laughingbird Software, then we may choose to maintain the same in our database and we may choose to engage with such Lead or Customer. Any engagement between us and a Lead or Customer will be at our discretion.
Eligibility requirements for Revenue
The Revenue must satisfy the following eligibility requirements: (i) the Revenue must be actually received by us, without the possibility of refund; (ii) the Revenue must be paid in connection with a purchase of Laughingbird Software and no other product of ours, whether a legacy product, a currently existing product, or future product; (iii) the Revenue must be paid by a Customer in accordance with the terms of this agreement; (iv) the Customer must be in full compliance with our Laughingbird Software End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy.
Notwithstanding anything contrary herein, the Revenue shall not be subject to Commission and a Commission shall not be paid to you if (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state or local law or regulation in the United States or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction; or (ii) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in violation of any term of this agreement, misuse of the Affiliate Dashboard or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Affiliate Program.
Revenue and Commission
Commission shall be a percentage of the Revenue actually received from all Customers, in accordance with the terms hereunder. The respective percentages shall be provided on your Affiliate Dashboard or otherwise established by our notice to you, and may be changed effective as of the first day of the next month. Commission, when due, shall be paid on eligible Revenue actually received within 15 calendar days after the end of such month during which such Revenue was received. Commission shall be paid by means of a deposit on the payment collection method provided on your Affiliate Dashboard.
You are responsible for all taxes and other third party payments applicable to the Commission. Further, all monies payable by us to you are subject to set-off by us against any monies owed by you to us.
For the purposes of this agreement, “Revenue” shall mean the net income (exclusive of sales tax and after applying any discounts, credits, deductions, withholdings, rebates, other reductions or adjustments) generated by us from Customers’ purchases and/or subscription payments for the use of Laughingbird Software, such income being unconditionally paid to and actually received by us, without the possibility of refund, in compliance with the eligibility requirements provided herein. For purposes of clarification, Revenue does not include: (a) the value of any items that may be furnished by us to a Customer without cost to the latter (for example, free trials or other free services furnished as part of any advertising or promotions program) and (b) any reimbursement that may be received by us from Customers for taxes, customs, duties, costs and expenses, additional charges, other monies unrelated to product purchase or subscription payments, and the like, if applicable.
