EquiiText Affiliate Policy Agreement
This REFERRAL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made and entered into by and between Texster LLC, dba EquiiText (“EquiiText.com,” “Principal,” “us,” “our,” or “we”), a Nevada for-profit company, with its principal place of business located at Nevada, 89119, USA, and the Texster Affiliate (“Referrer,” “you,” or “your”). This legally binding agreement contains all the terms and conditions that apply to your participation in the Texster Referral Affiliate Program (“EquiiText Referral Program,” “Referral Program” or “Program”).
By participating in the Texster Referral Program, you agree with the terms and policies set forth in the Agreement below. Please read the entire Agreement. It is a legal agreement between you and Texster LLC. By submitting the online application, you are agreeing that you have read and understand the terms and policies of this Agreement, and that, if EquiiText accepts your application, you agree to be legally responsible for each and every term and policy. Texster LLC reserves the right to deny or accept any application at its sole discretion.
Your participation in the Program is solely for the purpose of legally advertising Texster LLC services to receive a commission on services purchased by your referrals.
This Agreement begins when Texster LLC accepts you into the Program and will end when your participation is terminated, either by you or by Texster LLC. Texster LLC may change the Program or this Agreement at any time without notice. If any change to the Program or the Agreement is unacceptable to you, your only choice is to terminate your participation. Your continuing participation in the Program will constitute your acceptance of any change.
You or Texster LLC may suspend or terminate your participation in the Program at any time for any reason. You are only eligible to earn commissions while you are participating in the Program in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Qualified Lead means a lead that was tracked and received by Texster LLC which includes all the necessary lead data and also matches the buying criteria set by a lead buyer in the Texster LLC network, resulting in a commissionable payout.

AFFILIATE PROCESS
Texster LLC does not approve any person or entity as an Affiliate if they have not first purchased an EquiiText subscription plan.
In the case that your application for the Program is accepted, Texster LLC will attribute referrals to you based on a tracking code embedded in your Affiliate Links. When a referral clicks through your Affiliate Link, Texster LLC sets a cookie in the browser that contains your tracking code. Texster LLC also tracks other information, such as the IP address of the referral, in its database along with your tracking code. When the referral decides to buy a service and/or product at EquiiText.com, a script will look for the cookie, try to match the IP address, or use similar technology to identify you and award the commission. Referrals from your Affiliate Link may make a purchase later in time and Texster LLC will still award the commission if the cookie is still present in the browser or if the IP address still matches one logged in the database.
In some cases, Texster LLC may offer Affiliates a discount coupon code which may be used by customers referred by the Affiliate to EquiiText.com. Discount coupon codes are administered at the discretion of EquiiText and may have restrictions, including but not limited to expiration dates.
Texster LLC reserves the right to refuse service to any referral.
RESTRICTIONS
Limited to New Client Acquisitions: This commission structure option shall only apply to new customers and does not apply to existing leads/prospects or customers of the Principal.
Free Trial: Customers that have in the past or are currently in an EquiiText.com Free-Trial period are excluded from being considered as eligible Affiliate referrals for commissions.
Rollovers: Customers that have in the past or are currently customers of Texster LLC with rollover credits are excluded from being considered as eligible Affiliate referrals for commissions.
Canceled: Customers that have canceled their Free Trials and/or monthly subscription plans are excluded from being considered as eligible Affiliate referrals for commissions. This could also pertain to canceled payments, failed payments, or denial of automatic renewal.
Refunds: The Principal may accept the return of products and/or services from Affiliates or Affiliate referrals for a refund or partial refund at its sole discretion.
No Income: Referrers are not entitled to any compensation for services performed or expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement other than as set out in this Agreement.
Residual Commission: Referred customers participating in a Free Trial will convert to commissionable customers upon transitioning to a paid account. If the account cancels or is terminated, Referrers will no longer be owed a commission on that account. If they don’t convert to a paid customer within 90 days, they are considered a dead lead and any reactivation of that customer following those 90 days as a paying customer is excluded from commission eligibility for the Referrer.
COMMISSIONS
Texster LLC agrees, at its sole discretion, to commission Affiliates in bonus credits to your Android or Cloud Texting Account in the amount shown in your Referrer Login Dashboard per new customer that you refer, resulting in a Qualified Lead or Qualified Sale for us. Referrers must be made via our tracking Links and/or coupon codes or with us personally for the lead to qualify; as otherwise, the Referrer is undocumented. This is not a personal rewards program – you cannot purchase any Texster LLC product and/or service by using your own Affiliate code and earn credit toward a commission.
Referrers accept and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are in addition to and do not detract from the ordinary fiduciary duties owed by Referrers to the Principal.
Bonus credits will be issued monthly for the previous month’s leads/sales closed, 1 week removed. Weekly leads are based on a calendar schedule beginning on Monday of every week and ending on Sunday of every week.
Provided that the referred customer enters into a subscription plan for Texster LLC services, the Referrer will be paid a commission in bonus credits equaling 20% of the referred customer’s initial monthly subscription plan for the first 12 months of the referred customer’s account subscription. These bonus credits will be valued at the Referrer’s subscription plan rate.
For example, if the referred customer originally subscribes to a 1,000-credit-per-month plan at a rate of $0.00979 per credit, and the Referrer has subscribed to a 10,000-credit-per-month-plan at a rate of $0.00895 per credit, the Referrer will receive approximately 219 bonus credits each month for 12 months based on the Referrer’s subscription plan. If the referred customer changes his subscription plan from a 1,000-credit-per-month plan to a 25,000-credit-per-month plan, the Referrer is still eligible only to receive a commission based on the referred customer’s initial 1,000-credit-per-month subscription plan.

If the application of any provision of this Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances is held to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitration panel or a court of competent jurisdiction, then the validity and enforceability of such provision as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances and the validity of other provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to effect the intent of the Parties and reformed without any further action by the Parties to the extent necessary to make such provisions valid and enforceable.
