We are so thrilled that you want to join shutterb as an affiliate partner. By choosing to be part of us we know that you see the value in what shutterb can bring to people’s lives, and are honoured that you want to be part of propelling this solution for content into culture.

The reason we started shutterb is to create a world with more presence. By having you part of it we know that our story and message will get out there, and ultimately deliver on our goal to allow people to stay focused on what matters most to them, without sacrificing their need for content to share within their own networks.

Within these terms & conditions we will outline the details of this partnership, and what can be expected as an affiliate partner of shutterb. The following terms and conditions apply to individuals who are accessing or using the program both as the company (“we” or “Shutter Hive”) and an affiliate (“you” or “affiliate”) who refers customers to use the service from the Company.

By participating in the program, affiliates agree to use the program in the manner specific in, and are bound by, these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms & conditions in their entirety you are not authorized to register as an affiliate or participate in the program in any manner.

1. Affiliate Links and Coupons

Affiliate links will be generated by Shutter Hive and provided to the affiliate. If a person clicks on someone else’s referral link and then later they click on yours, yours is the one that counts.

Affiliates might or might not be assigned to one branded coupon code with details and usage clarified by shutterb. The branded coupon would be personalized to you and provide a special offer to your network. If a customer both clicks on the affiliate link and uses a coupon code, you will not receive double commission. If you’re not assigned a branded coupon, then you’re not allowed to promote the coupon.

Affiliates may also advertise Company websites on online channels such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn.

2. Commissions and Payment

Refer any customer to make a purchase on our website, and you will receive a commission that is calculated based on the commission structure you’ve selected at the onset of this agreement:

Commission Structure Option 1: For every 5 hours of referred bookings the affiliate will receive 1 x free shutterb hour. For every 5 recapz booked, you’ll receive one free recap.

Commission Structure Option 2: For every referred booking the affiliate will receive a split commission with the Company receiving 12.5% of the total booking.

Commissions will only be sent for events that have been successfully completed. The use of the Affiliate Program is subject to a fair use policy which gives the Company the right to review each and every referral order. Status of commissions will be provided through a monthly report that will be delivered by the 15th of the following month, and any received commissions will be listed within this report. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.

The Company reserves the right to refuse an attempted purchase by any person, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. You shall have no claim to any commission based on the Company’s decision to not complete a transaction with any person who accesses what site through your affiliate link.

The commission relative to completed transactions shall be payable or awarded to you on or before the last day of the following month. Providing the commission due to you is at least CAD $100 or minimum 1 hour, and if not we will accrue your commission until the amount or reward meet these minimum requirements.

Paid commissions will be handled through Stripe, and earned shutterb hours will be delivered in the form of a promo code that can be redeemed on shutterb.co.

3. Affiliate Site and Channels

You have sole and exclusive responsibility and liability for the development, operation, maintenance and all materials and content where the affiliate link is present. You shall operate and maintain your sites and social channels where the affiliate link is being promoted in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

In consideration of the commissions, you agree to place the shutterb link on your affiliate site and or social channels in accordance with the terms and conditions. We reserve the right to monitor the affiliate site and social channels to determine if you are in compliance with these terms and conditions. We may notify you of any changes to your site or social channels that we feel should be made. If you do not make the changes that we feel are necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the shutterb affiliate program.

The Company is not responsible to pay any commissions in the event you do not use the link provided to you by the Company without motivation OR you do not properly install the link, meaning the traffic will not be properly tracked to reflect that a customer came from your site or social channel.

4. Marketing Tools

We will share promotional materials such as graphics and other visual assets, pre-designed ads for social media, email templates for promotional campaigns, content guidelines, and coaching on how to promote shutterb. You can download the provided assets and leverage them within your own site and social channels so long as they adhere to shutterb content guidelines.

5. Cookies

We use a cookie to track people who have clicked on your link, so they need to be using cookies for us to track them.

If a person doesn’t allow cookies or clears their cookies then we can’t track them so can’t pay commissions on that person’s activity.

The tracking will start from the time a customer clicks on the affiliate’s link. Within the cookie time, every order made by this customer at the Company website will automatically result in commissions to the affiliate.
