Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: August 9th, 2024

 

  • Acceptance of the Terms of Use.

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, "Program Terms"), are entered into by and between you (“you” or “Affiliate”) and International Bonsai Mirai, Inc. (“Mirai,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”), and govern your participation in Mirai’s Affiliate Program (“Program”).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER BELOW.

By participating in the Program, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Program Terms. If you do not want to agree to these Program Terms, you may not participate in the Program.  
 

  • Changes to Program Terms and Program.

We may revise and update these Program Terms from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued participation in the Program following the posting of revised Program Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You should check this page from time to time, so you are aware of any changes.

Although we will make reasonable efforts to make the Program and related materials available on a regular basis, we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Program or any related materials in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if all or any part of the Program is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to portions of the Program.

 

  • Other Terms and Conditions.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to specific portions or features of the Program. If you are approved to participate in a Program contest, you are bound by the contest terms here [INSERT LINK], which are hereby incorporated by reference into these Program Terms.

Affiliates will have access to a third-party tool that Mirai uses to operate the Program (the “Affiliate Tool”). In addition to the Program Terms, you are required to abide by any third-party terms and conditions governing your use of the Affiliate Tool.

 

  • Becoming an Affiliate

You may participate in the Program by being invited to participate by Mirai or by applying to be an Affiliate and having your application accepted by Mirai. Mirai will review all applications to the Program and may reach out to you for additional information as part of the review process. If Mirai does not notify you within thirty (30) days from your application, your application is considered rejected. Once you become an Affiliate, you will be provided with a unique link (your “Affiliate Link”) through the Affiliate Tool for you to make available to potential customers of Mirai’s goods and services.

 

  • Non-Exclusivity.

The Program Terms do not create an exclusive agreement between you and Mirai. You have the rights to recommend similar products and services of third parties and Mirai has the right to work with other parties to promote its goods and services.

 

  • Customer Transactions.

     

    • Affiliate Program Commission. We will pay you commission as described in the Affiliate Tool (“Commission”) for each new customer who completes an applicable customer transaction after clicking on your Affiliate Link, provided that you remain eligible to receive Commission under these Program Terms. For any renewing subscriptions purchased by a customer, you will receive a Commission payment for the initial purchase only, not including any renewals.
    • Eligibility. You are not eligible to receive Commission or any other compensation from us if: (i) such compensation is disallowed or limited by federal, state, or local law or regulation in the United States or the laws or regulations of your jurisdiction; (ii) the applicable customer objects to or prohibits such compensation or excludes such compensation from its payments to us; (iii) the customer has paid or will pay such commissions, referral fees, or other compensation directly to you; (iv) the Commission payment has been obtained by fraudulent means, misuse of the Affiliate Link, in violation of the Program Terms or any other terms and conditions that we make available to you, misuse of the Affiliate Tool, or by any other means that we deem to breach the spirit of the Program. We may discontinue Commission payments should any of the eligibility criteria set forth in this subsection fail to be met at any time.
    • Acceptance and Validity. You will only be eligible for a Commission payment for any customer transactions that are generated through the Affiliate Link that we make available to you and that are accepted by Mirai. A customer transaction is not eligible for Commission if it occurs after this Agreement has expired or terminated.
    • Engagement with Prospects.  Mirai may elect to engage with prospective customers directly, both during and after the term of these Program Terms, regardless of whether or not they complete a customer transaction through the Affiliate Link.
    • Requirements for Payment. In order to receive payment under this Agreement, you must have: (i) agreed to the Program Terms; (ii) completed all steps necessary to create your account in the Affiliate Tool; and (iii) have a valid and up-to-date payment method in the Affiliate Tool with such account. We have no obligation to pay you Commission if any of the requirements in (i) – (iii) above are not fulfilled.
    • Commission Payment. We or the Affiliate Tool will determine the currency in which we pay the Commission, as well as the applicable conversion rate. We will not pay more than one Commission payment or other similar referral fee on any given customer transaction (unless we choose to in our discretion). We reserve the right to alter or change the Commission amount as per the Affiliate Tool.
    • Taxes. You are responsible for payment of all taxes and fees (including bank fees) applicable to the Commission. All amounts payable by us to you are subject to offset by us against any amounts owed by you to us.

Mirai may make available to you certain graphic and textual material, including materials that incorporate trademarks owned by Mirai (“Promotional Materials”), for display and use in connection with your participation in the Program. Mirai hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to display the Promotional Materials on your website and social media accounts and in communications with potential customers, subject to the following restrictions:

  • You may only use the Promotional Materials to promote Mirai’s goods and services and in the course of making your Affiliate Link available to prospective Mirai customers.
  • You may not alter or modify the Promotional Materials (other than minor alterations for formatting) without prior written approval from Mirai. In addition, you may not delete or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices on copies of the Promotional Materials.
  • You must not: (i) use the Promotional Materials in a misleading or disparaging way or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material; (ii) use the Promotional Materials in a way that implies we endorse, sponsor, or approve of your services or products; or (iii) use the Promotional Materials in violation of applicable law.
  • You must immediately comply if we request that you discontinue or change your use of the Promotional Materials. You must return to Mirai (or at Mirai’s request, destroy) all Promotional Materials promptly upon request.

YOU RECOGNIZE, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AND MIRAI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION.

 

  • Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. These Program Terms and the relationship between you and Mirai will be governed by U.S. law, particularly the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Mirai agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon with respect to any Dispute not covered by our binding arbitration clause. You and Mirai agree the exclusive venue for any and all legal proceedings that may arise in connection with such Dispute will be the federal and state courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon, and to irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit, or proceeding.   

 

  • Compliance with Local Laws. Mirai makes no representation that the Program is appropriate or available for use in all locations. Mirai operates the Program from the United States and makes no representation that the Program complies with any foreign or international laws.

 

  • Force Majeure. Mirai is not responsible for failure to perform any of its obligations under these Program Terms during any period in which such performance is prevented or delayed due to Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” refers to any event beyond Mirai’s reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, fire, flood, mudslides, earthquakes, war, labor disputes, strikes, political unrest, natural or nuclear disaster, epidemics, pandemics, World Health Organization’s advisories and/or alerts, Center for Disease Control’s advisories or alerts, any order of any local, provincial, or federal government authority, interruption of power, terrorism or any other causes beyond the control of Mirai.
  • Limitation of Claims. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or action arising out of or regarding the Program or these Program Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. By participating in the Program, you accept this shortening of the statutes of limitations.
  • Relationship of the Parties. Both you and Mirai agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Program Terms.
  • Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Mirai.
  • Severability and Survivability. If any provision, or portion of a provision, in these Program Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. You and Mirai agree to substitute for such provision a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of such severed provision. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Program Terms, or any general legal principles to the contrary, any provision of these Program Terms that imposes or contemplates continuing obligations on a party will survive the expiration or termination of these Program Terms.
  • Waiver. No delay or failure by either party to exercise or enforce any right or provision hereof will be considered a waiver thereof of such party's rights thereafter to exercise or enforce each and every right and provision hereof. No single waiver will constitute a continuing or subsequent waiver.  Mirai does not guarantee it will take action against all breaches of these Program Terms.  No waiver, modification or amendment of any provision hereof will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by both the parties.
  • Entire Agreement. These Program Terms, including all terms incorporated herein by reference, are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and merge all prior discussions or agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
