Affiliate Agreement

This Affiliate Agreement (the "Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the website, software applications, and other online services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by Parallel Technology Ltd. (“Parallel”). By participating in our Affiliate Program (the "Program"), you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Enrollment


  • Application—One of the best parts about Parallel is that anyone can start earning commissions simply by posting and tagging their outfit.
  • Eligibility—To participate in the Program, your account must be in good standing, which means that you have not violated any of our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, or other policies. "Good standing" is further defined as maintaining an active account, adhering to content guidelines, and not engaging in any actions that would damage Parallel’s reputation.
  • Automatic Enrollment—Eligible users can start earning commissions upon creating their first post and tagging their outfits using the provided tools. Parallel reserves the right to review and approve the content of your posts to ensure compliance with our standards.

Affiliate Responsibilities


  • Promotional Methods—You agree not to engage in any promotional activities that could harm Parallel’s reputation, including but not limited to fake reviews, incentivized reviews without proper disclosure, purchasing fake traffic, or any deceptive practices. Affiliates must adhere to the FTC’s guidelines on endorsements and must disclose their affiliate relationship with Parallel in a clear and conspicuous manner.
  • Compliance with Laws—You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to advertising and data protection laws.
  • Content Restrictions—Your website or promotional content must not contain harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material. We reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Program if your content violates any of our policies.

Commissions


  • Commission Rates—You can earn a commission for Qualifying Purchases. The commission rate is variable and dependent on the retailer. We don’t set the rate, and how much and when they pay us is out of our control.
  • Qualifying Purchases—A "Qualifying Purchase" is defined as a purchase made by a user through the Affiliate’s unique referral link or other approved methods that meet all the conditions specified in this Agreement. Purchases that are refunded, canceled, or disputed do not qualify for commissions.
  • Tracking and Reporting—Parallel uses cookies and unique tracking URLs to track Qualifying Purchases. Affiliates can access their performance reports, including the number of clicks, conversions, and earnings, in their accounts.

Payment Terms

You are notified when you receive a commission, and the amount is added to your rewards. To withdraw commissions, they are paid in accordance with our regular payment withdrawal requirements, which include your account being in good standing and reaching the minimum payment threshold set in your account.

Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes associated with commission payments. We will not withhold taxes from your commission payments unless required by law.

Prohibited Activities


  • You agree not to engage in any activities that could harm our reputation or violate the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to click fraud, creating misleading content, or violating third-party intellectual property rights. Any such activities will result in the forfeiture of commissions and termination from the Program.
  • You may not use Parallel’s trademarks, logos, or other intellectual property in any way that could confuse customers or imply an official endorsement by Parallel, except as provided in the affiliate marketing materials. Misuse of intellectual property may result in termination from the Program.

Termination for Breach

  • We may demonetize your account or post(s) at our sole discretion if we determine it is unsuitable to earn from our Program.
  • We reserve the right to delete a post(s) and terminate an account from participating in the Program if you breach any terms of this Agreement. In the event of termination, you will forfeit any unpaid commissions.

Appeals


If your participation in the Program is terminated for a breach of this Agreement, you may appeal the decision by submitting a written appeal to hello@joinparallel.io within 14 days of being terminated. Parallel will review the appeal and make a final decision at its sole discretion.

Confidentiality

The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years, or for as long as the confidential information remains non-public, whichever is longer.

Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Program. Our total liability to you under this Agreement shall not exceed the commissions paid to you.

Term

This Agreement will commence upon posting for the first time and will continue until terminated by either party.

Termination


  • By participating in the Program, our other Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and other policies apply, and violating any of those policies is a valid reason for termination from the Program.
  • Parallel doesn’t need to give notice upon termination. You will stop earning commissions and all unpaid commissions will be removed from your account.

Survival

The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive termination, including but not limited to confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation of liability, shall survive termination.

Modification of Agreement

Parallel may modify this Agreement from time to time to reflect (i) technological developments, (ii) changes to the Service, and (iii) changes to law and regulation. Any and all changes to this Agreement will be posted on the website and app. In addition, the Agreement will always indicate the date it was last revised. These changes will not be retrospective (i.e. they will only apply from the date notified or any later date stated in the notification). If you disagree with the changes, you can exercise your right to stop using the Service and terminate this Agreement (as above). You are deemed to accept and agree to be bound by any changes to the Agreement when you use the Service after those changes are posted.

Disputes


  • Any disputes regarding commission payments must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the payment date. We will investigate the dispute and decide at our sole discretion. Any determinations made regarding commission disputes are final and binding.
  • To the extent permissible under the applicable law, Parallel shall not be liable for any event of force majeure (including natural disasters, pandemics, activities subject to the instructions of government agencies, cyberattacks), any technical, hardware, software or inherent defects in telephone sets of any kind, and shall also be held harmless from any lost or unavailable network connections, faults, incompleteness, inaccuracies, or delays caused by you or any equipment or programming associated with or utilized or any human or non-human error that may occur in the processing of commissions including the inability to withdraw or any withdrawal errors resulted.
  • Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its formation, interpretation, performance, or breach, shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in accordance with its rules. The arbitration proceedings shall take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Your Indemnification of Parallel

You shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Parallel and its officers, directors, shareholders, and employees from and against all claims and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys fees and other legal expenses, in whole or in part arising out of or attributable to your use of the Service or any breach of this Agreement by you or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party when using the Service.

Governing Law and Forum for Disputes

This Agreement and your relationship with Parallel under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Manitoba in Canada without regard to its conflict or choice of laws provisions. Any dispute with Parallel or its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates arising under or in relation to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively as specified in the ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER clause above, except with respect to imminent harm requiring temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in which case Parallel may seek such relief in any court with jurisdiction over the parties. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision, Parallel can offer the Service at the terms designated, with little or no charge to you, and that your assent to this provision is an indispensable consideration to this Agreement.

You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with Parallel, its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or this Agreement: YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; and YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

Miscellaneous

  • If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement as a whole shall not be deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Agreement that is unlawful, void or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Agreement.
  • You agree that if Parallel does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Agreement (or which Parallel has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Parallel’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Parallel.
