Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Ambassador Program, you will be assigned a unique Ambassador Code. This code will give 15% off to whoever uses it. The discount does not apply to shipping or taxes.  You are welcome to use this code on your own purchases, and those sales WILL count towards your commissions. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Ambassador Code on your site, in your emails, on your social media platforms or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Summit Apparel. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice. You are welcome to use any of our creatives or you can use photos of your own. 

Tracking will occur through referral links as well as discount codes. These links and codes will be sent you you upon acceptance to the program. You will have access to the link once you login to your ambassador account. The discount code will be sent to you within 72 hours of your account approval. 

Referral fees/commissions and payment

For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to https://www.summitapparel.ca and complete an order for a product during that session.  You are also able to receive commissions from your personal discount code when it is used during the sale. 

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems or from successful sales where the discount code was used. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system.  These referrals may take up to 72 hours to be updated for you to see, but they will be tracked and you will receive commissions based on it.

Our commissions are paid out depending on your level in the program. Program level specifics are subject to change without notice.  Payments will be made in $100 increments on a monthly basis. For example, if at the end of March you have $321 in your account, you will be paid out $300. $21 will remain in your account until you reach the $100 threshold for payout. For all levels of the program, account balanced can and will be adjusted accordingly with bonuses or commissions that were not automatically tracked. We will never remove commissions from your account unless an incorrect adjustment was made or to reflect a payout.  

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

 

Identifying yourself as a Summit Apparel Ambassador

You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Summit Apparel or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

Payment schedule

If you are earning store credit, you can use your store credit at any time you wish. The balance will be updated weekly. If you are earning cash commissions the payment will be made monthly. If you are unsure of your balance, log in to the ambassadors platform and click on your dashboard. If you need assistance, email info@summitapparel.ca and we will be happy to help! 

 

Customer definition

Customers who buy products through this program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.

 

Your responsibilities

You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:

– The technical operation of your site and all related equipment
– Ensuring the display of Special Links on your site does not violate any agreement between you and any third party (including without limitation any restrictions or requirements placed on you by a third party that hosts your site)
– The accuracy, truth, and appropriateness of materials posted on your site (including, among other things, all Product-related materials and any information you include within or associate with Special Links)
– Ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights)
– Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal
– Ensuring that your site accurately and adequately discloses, either through a privacy policy or otherwise, how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors, including, where applicable, that third parties (including advertisers) may serve content and/or advertisements and collect information directly from visitors and may place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers.

 

In terms of promoting and posting you are required to:

  • By tagging us or sending us your content you consent to Summit Apparel using images, text or any other aspect of your post on our social media platforms, website and any other marketing we choose to do. Credit for created content will always be given to the creator. This includes photography. 
  • Always promote positively towards Summit Apparel. Any negative information or bashing of the company will result in immediate removal from the program and forfeit of all earned commissions.

Your “site” is also equal to your social media accounts and anywhere else you choose to post.

 

Compliance with Laws

As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program participant. 

 

Term of the Agreement and Program

The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to https://www.summitapparel.ca, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. This does not include social media posts. You do not need to delete all posts made.  Summit Apparel reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon program termination, Summit Apparel will pay any outstanding earnings accrued above $25. This payout will occur in the form of whichever level the ambassador is currently in. If the ambassador is Level 3, 4 or 5, and the balance is under $100, the commissions will be paid out in store credit. 

 

Termination

Summit Apparel, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other Summit Apparel service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. Summit Apparel reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

 

Limitations of Liability

We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.

 

Disclaimers

We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of the Summit Apparel will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.

 

Independent Investigation

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB SITE. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Miscellaneous

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of Canada, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

The failure of Summit Apparel to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms of Service constitutes the entire agreement between you and Summit Apparel and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Summit Apparel (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of Service).
