Affiliates

Last updated: 1 May, 2025.

Welcome to the MonoKit Affiliate Program ("Program") operated through Affonso.io. By participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms govern your participation in the Program and outline your responsibilities as an affiliate. As the Program is managed through Affonso.io, many operational responsibilities, including tracking, reporting, and payment processing, are handled by Affonso.io, and their policies apply where specified. Please read these Terms carefully before joining the Program.

1. Eligibility

To participate in the MonoKit Affiliate Program, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction.
  • Have a valid account with Affonso.io, subject to their terms and conditions.
  • Maintain a website, blog, social media account, or other online platform suitable for promoting MonoKit in accordance with these Terms.
  • Comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines, including those related to advertising, marketing, and data protection.

MonoKit reserves the right to reject or terminate any affiliate application or participation at its sole discretion, particularly if your platform is deemed unsuitable (e.g., promotes illegal activities, explicit content, or violates these Terms).

2. Enrollment

To enroll in the Program:

  • Complete the affiliate application through Affonso.io.
  • Provide accurate and complete information about yourself and your promotional methods.
  • Agree to Affonso.io’s terms of service, which govern the technical and operational aspects of the Program, including tracking and payment processing.

Upon approval, you will receive a unique affiliate link ("Affiliate Link") through Affonso.io to track referrals and commissions.

3. Promotion Guidelines

As an affiliate, you agree to promote MonoKit in a professional, ethical, and lawful manner. The following guidelines apply:

3.1 Organic Promotion Only
  • You must promote MonoKit using organic methods only, such as content marketing, blog posts, social media posts, email newsletters, or other non-paid channels.
  • No Paid Advertising: You are strictly prohibited from using paid advertising (e.g., Google Ads, social media ads, banner ads, or sponsored posts) to promote your Affiliate Link or drive traffic to MonoKit. All sales must result from organic traffic and engagement.
3.2 Approved Promotional Methods
  • Create high-quality, relevant content (e.g., reviews, tutorials, or recommendations) that accurately represents MonoKit’s features and benefits.
  • Place Affiliate Links prominently in your content, ensuring they are clearly disclosed as affiliate links in compliance with applicable laws (e.g., FTC guidelines in the United States).
  • Use only marketing materials provided or approved by MonoKit or Affonso.io.
3.3 Prohibited Practices

You may not:

  • Engage in spamming, unsolicited emails, or other intrusive marketing tactics.
  • Use MonoKit’s brand name, trademarks, or copyrighted materials in a way that misrepresents your relationship with MonoKit or implies endorsement beyond the affiliate relationship.
  • Promote MonoKit on websites or platforms that contain illegal, offensive, or inappropriate content.
  • Use your Affiliate Link in a manner that competes directly with MonoKit’s own marketing efforts (e.g., bidding on MonoKit-related keywords in search engines, even if not paid).
  • Engage in cookie stuffing, link cloaking, or other deceptive practices to artificially inflate referrals or commissions.
  • Offer incentives (e.g., cashback, discounts, or rewards) to users for clicking your Affiliate Link unless expressly approved by MonoKit.

Violation of these guidelines may result in immediate termination from the Program and forfeiture of any unpaid commissions.

4. Commissions
  • Commission Structure: Affiliates earn a commission for each qualifying sale made through their Affiliate Link, as determined by MonoKit and tracked by Affonso.io. The specific commission rate and payment terms are outlined in your Affonso.io affiliate dashboard.
  • Qualifying Sales: A sale qualifies for a commission only if it is a legitimate, completed purchase of a MonoKit product or service, not refunded or canceled, and complies with these Terms.
  • Payment Processing: All commission payments are handled by Affonso.io in accordance with their payment schedule and policies. MonoKit is not responsible for delays or issues related to payment processing by Affonso.io.
  • Minimum Payout: Affonso.io may require a minimum commission threshold before payments are issued, as specified in their terms.
  • Taxes: You are responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on commissions earned through the Program.
5. Responsibilities of Affonso.io

As the Program is operated through Affonso.io, they are responsible for:

  • Providing the technical infrastructure for tracking Affiliate Links, referrals, and commissions.
  • Generating reports on affiliate performance, accessible through your Affonso.io dashboard.
  • Processing and distributing commission payments in accordance with their policies.
  • Handling disputes related to tracking or payment errors, subject to their terms of service.

Any issues related to tracking, reporting, or payments should be directed to Affonso.io’s support team. MonoKit is not liable for any failures or errors in Affonso.io’s systems or services.

6. Intellectual Property
  • MonoKit grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use approved marketing materials (e.g., logos, banners, or product descriptions) solely for promoting MonoKit through the Program.
  • You may not modify, reproduce, or distribute MonoKit’s intellectual property without prior written consent.
  • All rights to MonoKit’s trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property remain with MonoKit.
7. Disclosure Requirements

You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship with MonoKit when promoting your Affiliate Link. For example:

  • Include a statement such as, “This post contains affiliate links, and I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you.”
  • Ensure disclosures are prominent, easily understandable, and compliant with applicable laws (e.g., FTC guidelines).
8. Term and Termination
  • Term: These Terms are effective upon your acceptance (by enrolling in the Program) and continue until terminated.
  • Termination by You: You may terminate your participation by notifying Affonso.io and ceasing use of your Affiliate Link.
  • Termination by MonoKit: MonoKit may terminate your participation at any time, with or without cause, by providing notice through Affonso.io or directly. Common reasons for termination include violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or inactivity (e.g., no referrals for 12 months).
  • Effect of Termination: Upon termination, you must immediately cease using your Affiliate Link and remove all MonoKit-related marketing materials from your platforms. Any unpaid commissions may be forfeited if termination is due to a violation of these Terms.
9. Limitation of Liability
  • MonoKit and Affonso.io are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your participation in the Program, including loss of profits or data.
  • MonoKit’s total liability under these Terms shall not exceed the total commissions paid to you in the preceding 12 months.
10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MonoKit, Affonso.io, and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your promotional activities, or your violation of any applicable laws.

11. Modifications

MonoKit may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on its website or through Affonso.io. Continued participation in the Program after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
