Not Quite Write Prize Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

Last updated 30 December 2024

These Terms and Conditions set out the agreement between Not Quite Write (“we”) and affiliates (“you”) regarding participation in the Not Quite Write Prize Affiliate Program (“program”). By participating in the program, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

We reserve the right to modify this agreement at any time without notice. Continued use of the program after any such changes will constitute your consent to those changes.

Jurisdiction

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New South Wales, Australia. All applicable times, dates and monetary amounts are of that region unless otherwise specified.

Enrolling in the program

To enrol in the program, you must complete a simple online application form. You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, a PayPal payment address and any other information requested to complete the signup process.

Your login may only be used by one person. The person named under the account is personally responsible for all content posted and activity occurring under that account.

We reserve the right to accept, reject or cancel any application for any reason.

Earning Commissions

You will promote ticket sales for the Not Quite Write Prize using unique referral links provided by us.

The current rate of commission is a flat AU$5 for any ticket or ticket package purchase and $AU5 for print anthologies purchased directly from our website. Merchandise is not currently included in the affiliate program.

You will earn a commission on each Qualified Purchase that is automatically traced back to your unique URL by the third-party platform, AffiliateWP. (A “Qualified Purchase” is a purchase that is not subsequently refunded or cancelled.)

For a sale to be eligible for a commission, the customer must click your unique referral link, or originate directly from you website(s) if you have added them in your settings, and complete the sale during that session. Sales not automatically tracked by our third party systems, or otherwise falling outside of this process will be excluded from eligibility for commission.

You may also set up Direct Link Domains from which you want referrals to be tracked without using an affiliate link. This may include, for example, your own personal website or blog. Direct Link Domains are subject to approval at the exclusive discretion of Not Quite Write. Direct Link Domains relating to public search engines and social media platforms will be rejected.

You may also set up and track your own specific campaigns using the AffiliateWP platform.

Note that you may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use.

Designing your marketing

You may place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your unique referral code on your site, in your emails, or in other marketing communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and artwork to use when linking to Not Quite Write  (“standard use”).

We welcome and encourage creative marketing executions. You agree to email us at contact@notquitewrite.com to confirm any “non-standard” marketing strategies before executing them.

Product prices and availability may vary from time to time so you should not display prices in your marketing without first confirming the price is current and accurate. Current information should be taken directly from our website.

You acknowledge that all logos, images, website content, audio content, written material and other intellectual property associated with Not Quite Write are our exclusive property and you agree not to substantially modify our intellectual property without permission.

You agree not to use fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, or otherwise questionable marketing methods. You further agree that you will not do anything to bring the Not Quite Write brand into disrepute.

You agree not to misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you are part of Not Quite Write, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this agreement.

Issuing payment

Commissions are paid quarterly following the deadline of each competition round.

Payments will be made by PayPal transfer. Any applicable transaction fees imposed by these institutions will be deducted from your commission.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive, or otherwise questionable marketing methods. What is “questionable” will be at our sole discretion and will include, but is not limited to, any activity which brings or has the potential to bring Not Quite Write into disrepute.

Limit of liability

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. We are not liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

Our aggregate liability arising with respect to this agreement and the program will not exceed the total commissions paid or payable to you under this agreement.

Indemnity

You indemnify us against any claims arising from your participation in the program, including but not limited to any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages relating to your marketing strategies.

Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by providing written (email) notice to the other party.

Upon termination, you must immediately cease all promotional activities and remove our intellectual property and unique referral links from your website(s) and marketing materials.

Not Quite Write will honour any commissions rightfully earned prior to termination.

Violation of any part of this agreement by you will result in immediate termination of your affiliate status and forfeiture of any outstanding commissions.
