1) Scope of Application

1.1 These Terms & Conditions (hereafter referred to as “T&C”) define the operational and contractual framework between Kulka & Vogel GbR (also “ProxyBlocks”), located in Düsseldorf, Germany, specializing in providing innovative mobile 5G proxy solutions, and its Affiliates engaged in promoting ProxyBlocks’ services. These T&C are effective upon the Affiliate’s acceptance and apply to the ProxyBlocks Affiliate Program. Separate T&C, accessible on our website, govern the use of ProxyBlocks services by end users.

1.2 ProxyBlocks provides Affiliates with the opportunity to earn commissions through referrals. The specifics of the commission structure, conditions for earning commissions, and related details are outlined on the ProxyBlocks website and within the agreement affiliates agree to upon joining the program. Deviations from these T&C, if any, must be agreed upon in writing and will supersede these T&C to the extent of any inconsistency.

2) Joining the Affiliate Program

2.1 Potential affiliates can begin their journey with ProxyBlocks Affiliate by creating an account and going to the “Affiliate” Tab within their dashboard. There, they are able to choose the conditions for their affiliate coupon code and join the program. They will get access to not only their coupon code, but also their reflink and statistics by doing so. 

2.2 Once officially part of the Affiliate Program, affiliates are eligible to earn commissions. A commission is earned for each new customer that signs up for ProxyBlocks’ services through the affiliate’s unique referral link or by using the affiliate coupon. The structure of these commissions, including rates and payout details, will be clearly outlined on our Affiliate Program Page, ensuring transparency and mutual benefit.

3) Affiliation & Payouts

3.1 Affiliates work with a substantial 25% lifetime commission budget for each customer they successfully refer to ProxyBlocks through their unique referral links or provided coupons. This arrangement is not limited to the initial sale but extends to encompass all future transactions made by the referred customer. This lifetime commission structure ensures that affiliates continue to benefit from the long-term value of the customers they introduce to ProxyBlocks. Only in cases, where a referred customer uses another coupon code, not connected to the initial referrer, the order will not be taken into account. Every other future order that meets the conditions again will be accredited to them again nonetheless. The total commission budget is split between the affiliate and the customer, which means that the discount amount of used coupon codes will be subtracted from the affiliate’s split. The affiliate can freely choose the discount amount of their coupon code and can always only use the reflink provided, which will give them the full 25% commission as it doesn’t grant the customer any discounts.

Referrals are recognized through purchases made by users who utilize the affiliate’s personalized coupon code or referral link.

3.2 To maintain the integrity of the Affiliate Program and safeguard against fraudulent activities, affiliates become eligible for payouts after successfully referring three customers who complete purchases. This threshold ensures that only genuine and effective referrals are rewarded, aligning the interests of ProxyBlocks and its affiliates.

3.3 Once eligible, affiliates may request payouts for their accumulated commissions by contacting the ProxyBlocks team. Requests for payouts are processed at the end of each month, providing a consistent and predictable schedule for affiliates to receive their earnings.

3.4 ProxyBlocks offers a flexible range of payout options to accommodate the preferences of our affiliates. Affiliates can choose to receive their commissions via bank transfer, PayPal, or cryptocurrency, providing convenient and accessible methods for accessing their funds.

4) Benefits for Client & Affiliate

4.1 Affiliates are equipped with a suite of tools and resources designed to enhance their promotional efforts and maximize their earning potential. Each affiliate receives a unique referral link and a personalized coupon code, which not only tracks their referrals but also offers a discount to the customers they attract. This dual benefit structure is designed to incentivize customers to take advantage of affiliate offers, making it more attractive for them to engage with ProxyBlocks’ services through affiliate channels.

4.2 Moreover, affiliates are supported with a comprehensive package of promotional materials and receive professional affiliate support from ProxyBlocks. This support includes access to marketing materials that affiliates can use in their campaigns, as well as dedicated assistance from our affiliate management team. Our aim is to simplify the promotional process for our affiliates and to ensure that customers find it appealing to accept offers from our affiliates. This symbiotic relationship enhances the value for both clients and affiliates, contributing to a dynamic and successful affiliate program.

5) Integrity, Compliance & Termination

5.1 In instances where a customer referred by an affiliate cancels their purchase or is unable to complete payment, the anticipated commission will not be approved, precluding any payout for that particular referral. This guideline guarantees that commissions are distributed equitably, contingent upon successful, verified transactions, thus protecting the financial integrity of the Affiliate Program. ProxyBlocks is dedicated to upholding a clear and trustworthy framework for affiliates, underlining the significance of valid and productive referrals.

5.2 It is crucial for affiliates to recognize that end customers are bound by the standard Terms and Conditions of ProxyBlocks, distinct from those of the Affiliate Program. In the event that an end customer breaches these Terms and Conditions, the affiliate will forfeit the commission for any related sales. Affiliates bear the responsibility of ensuring their referrals are informed about and adhere to ProxyBlocks’ Terms and Conditions, preventing any potential interference with their commission eligibility. This approach is designed to foster a fair and well-organized system for all involved parties.

5.3 All trademarks and intellectual property rights related to ProxyBlocks’ services and promotional materials remain the exclusive property of ProxyBlocks. Affiliates are prohibited from using these assets under any other name or for any unauthorized purposes without explicit permission. This includes, but is not limited to, marketing content, images, logos, and any other materials provided by ProxyBlocks for promotional purposes. The preservation of these rights is crucial to maintain the brand integrity and the trustworthiness of the information disseminated by affiliates.

5.4 Violations of these guidelines, or any form of malicious conduct, not only jeopardize the integrity of the Affiliate Program but also contravene the foundational principles of our cooperation. Such infractions include, but are not limited to, attempts to exploit the Affiliate System for personal gain, such as generating self-commissions, or engaging in any other behavior that violates our terms and conditions. ProxyBlocks reserves the right to terminate the partnership with any affiliate at our discretion, particularly in cases where an affiliate’s actions are deemed contrary to our values or involve malicious activities. In the event of termination for such reasons, we are committed to disbursing any commissions earned prior to the discovery of such activities, provided that no evidence exists implicating the affiliate in fraudulent or malicious practices. This stance underscores our commitment to fair practice and the maintenance of a secure, equitable environment for all affiliates, while also protecting the integrity of our program and ensuring that all participants adhere to a standard of conduct that reflects our company’s values and ethical standards.

6) Affiliate Independence

6.1 Affiliates engage with us as independent contractors, not as employees, under the legal framework of German law. This distinction clarifies that our relationship is of a business-to-business nature, devoid of traditional employment obligations.

6.2 Affiliates are responsible for their own operations and business activities, making decisions independently while ensuring compliance with our terms and conditions. This autonomy allows affiliates to strategize and execute their marketing efforts as they see fit, provided they align with the overarching guidelines provided by us.

6.3 It is expressly permitted for affiliates to engage in business with other companies within the same industry. This policy underscores our commitment to fostering an open and competitive environment, acknowledging that such engagements can contribute to the growth and diversity of the market.

7) Liability and Disclaimers

7.1 ProxyBlocks assumes full responsibility for any damages resulting from deliberate actions or gross negligence on our part. This covers a broad spectrum of potential issues, from data breaches to service interruptions, ensuring our affiliates and customers are protected against significant oversights or malicious conduct.

7.2 Specific Liabilities:

• 7.2.1 Any harm to life, body, or health due to our negligence or misconduct will be addressed with utmost seriousness, with ProxyBlocks bearing full liability.
• 7.2.2 ProxyBlocks is responsible for any breach of vital contractual duties. These are obligations whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the agreement and on which our partners regularly depend.
• 7.2.3 Violations of the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG) fall under our direct liability, reflecting our commitment to data security and product safety.

7.3 In instances of minor negligence not encompassing the above categories, ProxyBlocks’ liability is limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages. This ensures a balanced approach to accountability, acknowledging the potential for human error without undue penalty.

7.4 Beyond the expressly mentioned scenarios, ProxyBlocks disclaims further liability, providing a clear boundary to our financial and legal responsibilities.

7.5 The limitations and disclaimers of liability also apply to our legal representatives and employees, safeguarding them against claims related to their duties performed on behalf of ProxyBlocks.

8) Miscellaneous

8.1 The privacy and security of personal data are paramount to ProxyBlocks. Our Data Protection Policy, as outlined in our Privacy Statement, extends to our Affiliate Program. Affiliates can rest assured that their personal information is handled with the utmost care and in full compliance with GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations.

8.2 ProxyBlocks reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Such changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website or upon direct communication with our affiliates. It is the responsibility of affiliates to stay informed about any updates to these terms.

8.3 If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between ProxyBlocks and the Affiliate regarding the Affiliate Program.

8.4 All aspects of the Affiliate Program, including but not limited to its Terms and Conditions, shall be governed and construed in accordance with German law. Any legal disputes arising under these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Germany (Düsseldorf). This provision ensures a clear legal framework for both ProxyBlocks and its affiliates, promoting reliability and predictability in our business operations.

8.5 By participating in the ProxyBlocks Affiliate Program, the Affiliate acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms.
