Affiliate Applicant Agreement and Terms of Service

This Affiliate Applicant Agreement and Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) is effective by and between KitBash3D LLC, located at  8605 Santa Monica Blvd PMB 90726, West Hollywood, CA 90069 (the “Company” or “KitBash”) and the “Affiliate Applicant” signaling their assent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement through the Company’s Affiliate Platform, as defined below. The Company and Affiliate Applicant may be referred to herein individually as a ”Party” and collectively as the ”Parties.”

What We Are Agreeing To:

  1. AGREEMENT TERM: This Agreement will commence upon acceptance by the Affiliate Applicant and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall continue in perpetuity (the “Term” of the Agreement).

  2. NO GUARANTEE: KitBash has created an affiliate program in order to incentivize social media personalities and experts in 3D modeling, virtual reality, and related fields to promote and recommend KitBash’s “Cargo” platform through social media and other digital platforms (such as Twitch, Discord, etc.), as well as in any relevant in-person or personal interactions. All applicants to the program will apply through Tolt.io (the “Affiliate Platform”) and KitBash will, in its sole discretion, approve or decline applicants through the Affiliate Platform. There is no guarantee that an applicant will be selected or approved for program participation. In the event that an applicant is approved as an “Affiliate” of KitBash, KitBash may revoke its approval at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion. 

  3. SERVICES: If approved as an Affiliate of KitBash, the Affiliate Applicant hereby agrees to promote and recommend Cargo using a custom referral link provided to the Affiliate Applicant by KitBash. During the Term hereof, an Affiliate will act as an ambassador for Cargo on a non-exclusive basis, provided that Affiliate’s responsibilities to any other individual or entity other than the Company will not materially interfere with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

  4. COMPENSATION: Upon Affiliate Applicant’s signature of this Agreement, and conditioned upon the Affiliate Applicant’s acceptance by the Company as an Affiliate, the Affiliate Applicant will be paid as follows:

    a. The Affiliate will be provided with a custom referral link for promotional purposes. The Affiliate will be paid a commission each time a new customer uses the Affiliate’s custom referral link within thirty (30) days of clicking the custom referral link; if the customer purchases a subscription to Cargo outside of this thirty (30) day window, the sale cannot be attributed to the Affiliate. The commission will be a single, lump sum payment based on a percentage of the new customer’s first Cargo subscription payment; there will be no ongoing commissions for subsequent subscription payments over time. Additionally, there will be no commissions offered for purchases other than a Cargo subscription. The Affiliate Applicant understands that each Affiliate in the affiliate program may receive different commission rates at different times, dependent on different factors, and the Affiliate Applicant understands and agrees that they may access the Affiliate Platform at any time to review their commission rate. By accepting this Agreement and continuing to use their custom referral link, the Affiliate Applicant agrees to the commission rate communicated to them through the Affiliate Platform.

    b. Commissions will be paid Net 30 from the date the commission is earned, once at least twenty-five dollars ($25.00) in commissions have been earned (the “Payment Threshold”). Commissions will not be paid until the Payment Threshold has been met, unless this Agreement has been terminated according to its terms and the payment to be processed is the final payment; in such an instance, the final payment made shall be processed even if it is below the Payment Threshold. A commission is considered “earned” on the date that a new customer’s first Cargo subscription payment is received by the Company, provided that the payment is not refunded or dishonored by the Company’s banking institution. In the event of a refund or dishonored payment (such as a chargeback), no commission will be due.

    c. An Affiliate will only be paid a commission if their custom referral link is used during the purchase process. If a new customer does not use the custom referral link, the Company will not be required to pay a commission to the Affiliate, as it cannot guarantee the source of the referral.

    d. The Affiliate Applicant understands that successful attribution of a sale to an Affiliate is determinant on different factors outside of the control of the Company, including but not limited to any customer’s use or clearing of browser cookies. In the event that the Company is not able to attribute a sale to an Affiliate, for any reason outside of the reasonable control of the Company, the Affiliate understands that they will not be entitled to a commission.

  5. AFFILIATE EXPECTATIONS: The Affiliate Applicant understands and expressly agrees that, if accepted as an Affiliate, compliance with the following expectations shall be considered a material element of this Agreement. In the event an Affiliate violates or fails to satisfy this section of this Agreement, the Company shall have the sole discretion to withhold payment from the Affiliate and/or to terminate this Agreement immediately for cause. In the event of acceptance as an Affiliate, the Affiliate Applicant expressly agrees: 

    a. To truthfully communicate information about the Company and Cargo based on the information provided by the Company;

    b. To recommend Cargo in their social media, online, and personal communities;

    c. To share their custom referral link with online and personal communities;

    d. To work with the Affiliate manager provided by the Company to ensure success;

    e. Not to damage the Company brand image through negative comparisons or public comments;

    f. Not to use Company Assets (as defined herein) together with religious, political, sexual, or socially divisive or controversial content;

    g. Not to use the Company Affiliate program to promote the use of fake accounts among Affiliate referrals or to engage in any other type of “scam” behavior;

    h. Not to create fake accounts for their own use or to otherwise engage in any misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent activity of any kind;

    i. Not to place any search engine ads, Facebook ads, or any other paid advertising. All marketing must be organic word of mouth, either in person or through an Affiliate’s digital platform accounts. Affiliates are not allowed to run any search engine ads (especially on branded terms or domain names), Facebook ads, or other ads that would compete with the Company’s advertising and/or potentially cause confusion for customers.

    j. Not to act in any way that is, or could be construed as, discriminatory, derogatory,  violent, retaliatory, or abusive, or promoting any such or similar types of behaviors by third parties. This includes but is not limited to discriminating in who to provide the custom referral link to, using derogatory terms in promoting Cargo, suggesting violence or retaliation against anyone expressing a difference of opinion, etc.

    k. Not to infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party, such as copyright, trademark, or patent rights, while promoting Cargo or otherwise in connection with the Company.

    l. Not to make any negative evaluation of Cargo or the Company that could harm the Company’s brand image.

    Additionally, the Affiliate Applicant must agree to the terms of service for the Affiliate Platform, found at https://tolt.io/terms-of-service, in order to be approved as an Affiliate.

  6. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR: Affiliate Applicant recognizes that they are engaged as an independent contractor and acknowledges that the Company shall have no responsibility to provide Affiliate Applicant with any benefits normally associated with employee status, including but not limited to, health insurance and worker’s compensation. Affiliate Applicant will neither hold themselves out as nor claim to be an officer, partner, employee, or agent of the Company. The Affiliate Applicant understands and agrees that they have no right or ability to act as a legal agent of the Company, and may not bind or otherwise obligate the Company to take or refrain from any action, without first obtaining the express written consent of the president/CEO or other executive officer of the Company. Additionally, and as such, Affiliate Applicant is responsible for legal, tax, and regulatory compliance required for the compensation received under this Agreement. 

  7. EXPENSES AND USE OF OWN EQUIPMENT:  Where Affiliate Applicant will be using Affiliate Applicant’s own equipment or tools while engaged hereunder, such as a computer, video or web camera, or other equipment necessary for the effective promotion of Cargo, the Company will not be liable for any damage or loss to such equipment and use of such equipment is included in the Compensation herein. The Affiliate Applicant understands they will pay for supplies and expenses as necessary under this Agreement and Affiliate Applicant will not be eligible for reimbursement unless otherwise agreed upon.

  8. PAYMENT/ NOTICES: All payments shall be made via Paypal and notices to Affiliate Applicant shall be electronically mailed to Affiliate Applicant at the email addresses on file with the Company through the Affiliate Platform.

LIMITED LICENSE TO COMPANY ASSETS: Subject to the Affiliate Applicant’s acceptance as an Affiliate and the Affiliate Applicant’s strict compliance with the terms and conditions described herein, Company grants to the Affiliate a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, personal, and non-transferable license to download, display, view, search, transmit, or otherwise use the Company’s branding, logo, trademarks, and/or other assets (the “Company Assets”) for their use only in promoting Cargo or otherwise undertaking their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement. The foregoing limited license: (i) does not give the Affiliate any ownership of, or any other intellectual property interest in, any Company Assets, and (ii) may be immediately suspended or terminated for any reason, in Company’s sole discretion, and without advance notice or liability. 

    In some instances, the Company may permit the Affiliate Applicant to have greater access to and use of Company Assets, subject to certain additional written terms and conditions.

The Company may register the copyright, patent, trademark, and otherwise protect its interest in the rights granted herein in its own name. Affiliate Applicant agrees to reasonably assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, as necessary to perfect the Company’s rights in the ownership as provided herein.

The Company may assign, transfer, and sublicense (through multiple tiers) such rights to others without Affiliate Applicant's approval.
