Use of Links - If you qualify and agree to participate as an Affiliate, we will make a variety of graphic and textual links available to you (each referred to herein as a "Link" or collectively, as the "Links"). The Links will serve to identify your Affiliate Site as a member of the Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your Affiliate Site or email to Bluehost India’s website. You agree to cooperate fully with us to establish, display, and maintain such Links. You further agree that your use of the Links must be in compliance with this Affiliate Agreement at all times. Bluehost India may modify the Links from time to time in its sole discretion. You will not use graphic or textual images (indicating a Link) or text messages to promote Bluehost India that are not approved in advance by Bluehost India. Furthermore, you agree not to use cookie stuffing techniques that set the affiliate tracking cookie without the Referred Customer's knowledge (e.g. iframe).

Prohibited Activities -Except as permitted herein, you shall not and are not authorized to (i) use Bluehost India’s trademark or other intellectual property, including without limitation, the Links (collectively, “Bluehost India’s IP”) without Bluehost India’s express prior written permission; (ii) use Bluehost India’s name (or any variation or misspelling thereof or other terms that are confusingly similar to any of the foregoing) in a domain name, any metatags, advertising, search terms, code, or otherwise; or (iii) act in any way that causes or could cause any confusion concerning the source of, or your association with Bluehost India’s Products and Services. Your use of Bluehost India’s IP in any manner, other than as expressly permitted hereunder shall constitute unlawful infringement of Bluehost India’s intellectual property rights, and may subject you to liability (including potential treble damages for knowing or willful infringement), and the obligation to pay Bluehost India’s legal fees and costs in connection with Bluehost India’s enforcement of its rights.

Commission Fees will be calculated based on the commission rates stated on the Bluehost India website for each Qualified Purchase subject to commission accruing pursuant to Section 8 below. A “Qualified Purchase” does NOT include any of the following: i. A purchase by a Referred Customer that has transferred from any Bluehost India partner or entity that owns, is owned by, or is under common ownership with Bluehost India. ii. A purchase by a Referred Customer who is also associated with any other Bluehost India referral program. iii. A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not up to date on its payments or is subject to a refund, referral, or other program. iv. A purchase that was completed prior to the Affiliate joining the Affiliate Program or was not tracked properly through an Affiliate Link. v. A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a period of at least thirty (30) days or is in violation of Bluehost India’s Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue. vi. A purchase that Bluehost India suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud, which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same Referred Customers, or the referral of accounts that do not comply with this Affiliate Agreement. vii. A purchase referred by an Affiliate that has an excessive cancellation rate as determined in Bluehost India’s sole discretion. viii. A purchase by a Referred Customer who was offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate not authorised by Bluehost India. ix. A purchase by a Referred Customer who is in or is promoting a business-opportunity program (as determined by us in our sole discretion), using marketing practices that we deem to be unethical or likely to attract fraudulent signups and/or signups with a very low likelihood of renewal. x. A purchase by a Referred Customer who received a popup with a discounted offer, while leaving Bluehost India’s website during their purchase. xi. A purchase by a Referred Customer engaging in "Domain Speculation," which is determined by the identification of two (2) web hosting accounts with the same Referred Customer's name, email address, or other identifying characteristic as determined by Bluehost India and/or the identification of two (2) or more web hosting accounts that have no content on their websites or have similar content, templates or formatting, as determined in Bluehost India’s sole discretion. xii. A purchase by a Referred Customer who, prior to such purchase, clicked through a Link established by another affiliate under this Affiliate Program. xiii. A purchase by a Referred Customer more than ninety (90) days after clicking through the Affiliate Link. xiv. Bluehost India reserves the right to withhold payment of Commission Fees to Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate Program, or who have referrals that are potentially the result of fraud as determined by Bluehost India in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.

b. Bluehost India reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this Affiliate Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer. Bluehost India reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate's current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled purchases. If no subsequent Commission Fees are due and owing, Bluehost India may send Affiliate a bill for the balance of such refunded purchase upon termination of Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program or termination of the Referred Customer.

c. Bluehost India reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fees that fail to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the payment, denial, and withholding of Commission Fees; Bluehost India is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees. If Affiliate has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, Affiliate has thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact Bluehost India to request that the Commission Fee be paid. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly made in Bluehost India’s sole discretion.

d. Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any other Bluehost India referral program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase. In other words, you may not receive double commissions or compensation.

e. In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Bluehost India by an Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Bluehost India in its sole discretion, Bluehost India reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees to such Affiliate.
f. Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Bluehost India or any violation of the terms of this Affiliate Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Bluehost India to terminate the Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program and will result in the forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Affiliate.

g. We use cookie based tracking to track and award sales made through the Link. Our cookies are valid for ninety (90) days and are awarded on a last click basis, which means clicking the Link before signing up will overwrite any other affiliate cookie currently in the system. Also, deleting cookies after clicking the Link (but before signing-up or paying-up) disables tracking and monitoring these clicks and any sale they may lead to.
