Referrer Program Overview

Our referrer associate program was designed for those who would like to refer our services to their friends, relatives, clients or prospects, either through online or off-line media, and make some extra money whenever their referrals buy an account from us. Any webmaster or business can post on their websites a link, banner, or button that we provide, and refer visitors to our site. Businesses that do not have a website but have any off-line establishments (stores, offices, service stations, etc.), or publishers in non-internet media (packaged software vendors, publishers of newspapers, magazines, classified bulletins, newsletters, etc.) can also participate in our referrer program, and use their referrer ID on our pre-approved flyers or advertisements to promote our business. We will pay you a generous referral fee for every new client who orders at our website while being referred from your site or who use your referral ID in the order forms in our site.

Referrer Benefits

• There is no charge, application fee, or purchase requirement to join our referrer program.

• We offer a wide selection of features, services and accounts at the best prices in the industry. Most of the time your referral would buy from us if they are looking for web hosting services.

• You qualify for referrer commissions for each of your referrals who buys a new Value virtual hosting account, Econo virtual Hosting account or EBusiness virtual server account in our site, when in any month you have made just 3 new referrals who purchased active accounts with us.

Referrer Program Policies

• Compliance with GlobalFront Policies: Agreement and willingness to comply with GlobalFront policies is a requirement for participation in all of our associate programs. In particular, spamming (unsolicited bulk messaging in the internet) by email, spamming the newsgroups, or mis-representation of GlobalFront services or its policies would cause immediate cancellation of your associate ID and you will loose any remaining balance that you have in your account at the time of the cancellation.

• Eligibility for Participation: We reserve the right to reject any site, which we determine (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for our associate program. Ineligible sites include those that:
  • promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  • promote sexually explicit or pornographic materials
  • promote violence
  • promote illegal activities
  • include "globalfront" or any variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
  • distribute pirated software and hacker and warez contents
  • violate our or third-party intellectual property rights

  If we approve your site and later your site is determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for our programs, we may terminate your participation in our program.

• Signing Up and Relationship between Parties: You can join GlobalFront referrer associate program by using our online referrer associate sign-up form. Once we receive, review and approve your application, we will email you an associate ID and a password within 24-48 hours.You agree that this application or its approval does not make you an employee, agent, partner or legal representative of GlobalFront, and that your role will be that of an independent contractor. You understand that you will be setting your own hours to develop your business, and that GlobalFront will not provide you with any employee-type benefits. If you are filing the application on behalf of an organization or business, then you certify that you have the authorization to represent the organization or the business named in your application, and that the organization or business will comply with all GlobalFront policies and GlobalFront associate program policies.

• Commissions: Once you get an associate ID from us, either your referrals or you can use your ID while ordering a qualified account from us. We will use your ID to track your sales, and will credit your account with your commission for all your qualified sales, at the beginning of the second month of your referral's signing up with us, according to our referrer commission schedule, provided we have received payment from your referral's behalf for the second month's of hosting fees.

• Rendering of Services: We will treat your referrals as our own clients, provide our services and bill them at our regular prices that we post in our website. Your referrals will qualify to receive any special pricing and features that we offer to our direct clients time to time.

• Taxes: If you are a US resident, you would need to provide your Tax ID if we ask for it. We reserve the right to withhold payments unless we receive your Tax ID.  Also, if total commission paid to you during any calendar year approaches $600.00 or more, IRS form 1099-MISC may be issued to you by GlobalFront showing the commissions paid to you during that calendar year. It will be your responsibility to account for any commissions that you receive from GlobalFront on your US tax returns. If you live in a foreign country, then you are exempt from this requirement for providing your Tax ID, but you agree to pay any taxes due to your local, state or federal government on earnings made from referral commission paid to you by GlobalFront.

• Tracking Your Sales: We use two methods to track your sales: (a) referrer ID field in our order form; and (b) link, banner or button in your site embedded with your associate ID. Our order forms for qualified accounts have a referrer ID field for entering referrer or ad ID in the order form. If you or your referrals enter your associate ID while placing an order, we can track the sale as your sale. Also, even if your referrals do not enter your ID in our order form, but use a link, banner or button on your site with your ID embedded in the link, banner or button, and place the order during the same session when they clicked the link on your site, we will be able to track the sales as yours. However, this second method of tracking is based on IP address of the visitor. Since many ISPs dynamically reassign IP addresses for their clients' specific internet sessions, this method of tracking may not always work accurately if your referral orders during a later session by directly visiting our site and does not include your referrer ID while placing the order in our website. We guarantee to credit you for the sale, if we can track the sale based on either your ID or your link, banner or button. If your referral does not enter your ID in the order form AND does not order our service during the same session when your referral clicked your link, we will be unable to track the sale as your sale unless your referral has a fixed IP address from his/her ISP or your referral explicitly mentions your name on the order form or while your referral contacts us.

• Modification and Cancellation: GlobalFront reserves the right to modify or cancel its referrer associate program or the commission schedule anytime. If we modify the program, the modified rules will be posted in our website. If we cancel the program, we will pay you any remaining balance that you have in your account, provided your account is in good standing with us. You can cancel your participation in our referrer associate program by emailing your intention to sales@globalfront.com anytime. For your security, we require that you include your referrer ID and password in your cancellation email before we can accept your cancellation request. You agree not to promote, represent or mis-represent GlobalFront, its services or policies anytime to any parties, if either we or you cancel your participation in our associate programs due to any reason at any time.
