Welcome to the Beames CST Affiliate Program. We offer a unique opportunity for you to earn commissions while helping us reach new students who wish to enroll in an Eligible Course (defined below). Before you begin, please carefully review and agree to these Terms and Conditions, which establish the rules for joining our Affiliate Program. We're committed to ethical marketing practices and regulatory compliance, and we're excited to work together for mutual success.
Effective Date: August 13, 2024
1.1. "Affiliate" "you" or "your" means the individual named below or, more broadly, those individuals participating in the Beames CST Affiliate Program, as the case may be.
1.2. "Affiliate Link" means the affiliate link or promo code provided by Beames to their Affiliates.
1.3. "Affiliate Program" refers to the Beames CST Affiliate Program through which affiliates promote Beames' products or services.
1.4. "Beames", or "We" refers to Beames Massage Therapy Professional Corporation, which is the company offering the Affiliate Program.
1.5. "Commission" refers to the compensation paid to the Affiliate for successful referrals.
1.6. "Eligible Course(s)" means the Beames CST Foundations course and the Infant CST Level 1 course, and/or any other course that Beames deems an Eligible Course, as the case may be.
1.7. "Referee" means an individual who applies for and enrolls in Eligible Course using your Promo Code.
2.1. Eligibility: To become an Affiliate, you must either be enrolled in any of the Beames CST courses or certification programs, or you must have completed any of the Beames CST courses or certification programs (each an "Eligible Applicant"). Those who are an Eligible Applicant must complete the affiliate application and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
2.2. Approval: We want to ensure that each Affiliate is a proper fit to represent the Beames brand. As such, we reserve the right to accept or reject any affiliate application at our discretion.
2.3. Affiliate Link: If you are accepted into the Affiliate Program, you will be given an Affiliate Link. Referees must you use your Affiliate Link for you to receive Commission. Your Affiliate Link may only be used by those who applying for enrollment in an Eligible Course. The Affiliate Link will not work with existing students of, or those already enrolled in, an Eligible Course. In order for you to earn Commission, Referees using your Affiliate Link must first complete an application, be accepted into, and then enroll in an Eligible Course by paying the course fees. You will not receive Commission for those Referees who apply for enrollment in an Eligible Course but are not accepted into an Eligible Course, or for those Referees who fail to pay the course fees. Referees must use your Affiliate Link when applying for an Eligible Course in order for you to receive your Commission. In no event will Beames be responsible for paying you Commission if your Referees do not apply using your Affiliate Link, even if you referred them and are responsible for their application. For example, you will not receive Commission for a Referees if you provide your Affiliate Link to a Referee, and the Referee applies for enrollment into an Eligible Course but forgets to, or do not use, your Affiliate Link when submitting their application. Thus, it is your responsibility to ensure your Referees use your Affiliate Link when applying.
2.4. Use of Cookies: It is your responsibility to ensure that your Referees have cookies turned on when applying for an Eligible Course. If cookies are not turned on by your Referee, your Affiliate Link may not work, and the Referee may not be registered with your Affiliate Link. You will not receive Commission if your Referee does not have their cookies turned on when applying for an Eligible Course.
3.1. Commissions: Affiliates will be paid a Commission equal to 10% of the course fee for any Eligible Course your Referee enrolls in. In order to receive Commission, your Referee must (a) apply to an Eligible Course using your Affiliate Link, (b) be accepted into the Eligible Course, and (c) pays their Eligible Course's course fee. Course fees are either paid in full upon acceptance or paid in monthly installments.
3.2. General Payment Rules: Commission shall be paid out via PayPal within 10 days following the end of the month in which an Affiliate's Referee paid their most recent installment for their Eligible Course. For example, if your Referee is accepted into an Eligible Course and pays their course fees (or first installment thereof) in April, you will receive your Commission in May. If your Referee is accepted into an Eligible Course in April and pays their course fee (or their first installment thereof) in May, you will receive your Commission in June. If your Referee elects to pay their course fee in monthly installments, you will receive your Commission only on the amount of the course fee paid for that month, and the payout will occur in the following month in which the most recent tuition installment was paid.
3.3. PayPal Fees: PayPal fees will be deducted from the total amount payable to you each month. Beames is not responsible for covering PayPal fees.
3.4. Payment Conditions: In order to receive your Commission, your Referee must have paid their course fee (or monthly installment) in full. If, for example, your Referee pays only 50% of their monthly course fee installment, you will not receive Commission until the full amount due for that month has been paid. If your Referee fails to pay their monthly installment, or any portion thereof, you will not receive your Commission until your Referee's monthly installment is paid in full. Unpaid Commission carries over to the next payment cycle until your Referee's account is brought up to date.
3.5. Currency and Exchange Rate: Commission is earned in the same currency that your Referee used to pay for their course fee. The current exchange rate of the day will be used to calculate any currency exchanges and is likely to fluctuate.
3.6. No Discounts: The Commission is the only remuneration you will receive. You will not receive a discount for your own course fees, or for other fees associated with any other programs or courses offered by Beames.
4.1. Promotion: Affiliates play a crucial role in representing Beames and as such, they commit to promoting our products and services in a manner consistent with our brand guidelines and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
