Affiliate Agreement 

Please read this entire agreement so you know and understand the program rules! 

1.Eco-Strip Affiliate Agreement  

This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the Eco-Strip Affiliate program. In this agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement, Eco-Strip refers to the  owner, Eco-Strip, LLC. 

The Eco-Strip Affiliate program is administered in part through a 3rd party Affiliate management application called Affiliatly (www.affiliatly.com).    

2.Modification 

3.Enrollment 

To enroll in the Affiliate program, you must submit an Affiliate Application and be approved by us. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status as soon as possible after their information is reviewed.

4.Affiliate URL   

You will be issued a special URL once you become an approved member of the Affiliate Program which will be unique to you, and will allow you to be paid for Affiliate referrals.

5.Commissions

Affiliates will receive 10% of the Net Proceeds as commissions from orders placed through properly-coded Affiliate links (unless noted otherwise for a particular product). Net Proceeds are defined as the gross proceeds received by Eco-Strip from Qualifying Purchases on Eco-Strip.com. Qualified Purchases are those products an individual Affiliate is authorized by Eco-Strip to sell.
Shipping and handling costs will not receive commissions. Commissions may change during limited-time special promotions, but they will return thereafter to the regular 10% commission rate. Commissions may change at the discretion of the Eco-Strip.
There are two affiliate commission levels: Basic at 10% and Pro at 15%. Eco-Strip management will evaluate Affiliate performance on a regular basis and will upgrade commission tiers accordingly. The minimum number of Qualified Purchases to become an Affiliate Pro is 35.   
For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the online order process (including the Affiliate code ! ) and remit full payment for the product ordered through the secure Eco-Strip website, www.eco-strip.com.
Word-of-mouth referrals will not result in an Affiliate commission being generated. Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified, correctly-structured Affiliate links. Properly-coded links are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate.   
Eco-Strip shall track Qualified Purchases from Affiliates via an Affiliate link using a cookie with the Affiliate’s identification. That link and cookie expire 28 days following said visit. A Qualifying Purchase made prior to the expiration of the cookie will be attributed to the Affiliate link provider whose Affiliate identification is recorded in the cookie associated with that website user.   
 Affiliates are only eligible to earn commission on sales occurring during the term of this agreement. Commissions earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the product orders are not cancelled.   
 No commission will be paid for product purchases made by the Affiliate, the Affiliate’s household, or anyone within its organization.  

6. Payments   

Eco-Strip pays Affiliates via the specific PayPal account provided by the Affiliate when the Affiliate joins.
 If Affiliates’ emails change for their PayPal account, it is the responsibility of Affiliates to update their payment information at https://www.affiliatly.com to ensure proper commission payments.   
No payment will be made to Affiliates for sales that result in refunds, cancellations or returns.
At its own discretion, Eco-Strip may elect to withhold payment for a reasonable time to ensure against cancellations or refunds. 
 
Payments shall be made in US Dollars to the PayPal account as nominated by the Affiliate in the name of the party and address provided by the Affiliate.
Affiliates shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the receipt of commission payments. In addition, all PayPal transaction fees related to these payments are the responsibility of the Affiliate.   
Eco-Strip will provide by January 31st to each Affiliate a Misc. Income Form 1099 for the total year’s commissions and will report this income to the federal and state income tax bodies.

7. Tax Forms and Address Changes

It is your responsibility to provide Eco-Strip with the tax and payment information required to issue a Commission Fee to you.
Each Affiliate is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form before Eco-Strip will issue any Commission Fees. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions you earn under this Agreement.
In compliance with tax laws, Eco-Strip will issue a Form 1099 to Affiliates whose earnings meet or exceed the applicable amount warranting the Form 1099. You will be required to provide us with proper address, tax forms (including W8/W9 or other tax forms) or information within two (2) days of any request issued by Eco-Strip to issue a Form 1099. Any address changes must be made in the Affiliate profile in the Affiliate Console at least 15 business days prior to the end of the calendar month in order for Commissions for that month to be sent to the revised address. 

8. Minimum Payment Threshold 

Affiliates must earn a minimum Affiliate account balance of $100 or more before their account is eligible for payment. Commission amounts earned for less than $100 (for example, 1 sale for $50) will remain pending until the full $100 minimum balance has been earned. All sales still pending due to the minimum payment threshold must remain active and in good standing on our website, Eco-Strip.com. Sales that are found not to be valid at the time of the additional sale and earnings will be marked as invalid and not payable.

9. Order Fulfillment 

Eco-Strip will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer via Affiliate links. Affiliates are not authorized to collect payments or sell any Eco-Strip products from other websites as a "reseller" and no "resale" rights are granted in ANY way. Affiliates are not authorized to sell any of these products from any other physical store or website, including ebay or other auction sites. Affiliates are not authorized to give away copies of any of these products.   Eco-strip will also be solely responsible for all customer service inquires including warranty issues.
