Each account is for use by either a single legal entity (e.g. a company or a partnership) or an individual user.

Promotional links and codes may not be used outside the scope of your content unless we have given our advanced written consent. This includes, but is not limited to : email promotion, distribution of codes in online forums (reddit, discord, etc). We may terminate the Agreement if there is substantiated proof of such activity.
You may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you are part of Lab401 or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Referral Fees
For the sale of a subscription to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your content, or use a code on your content, and make a complete purchase on Lab401.
We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We cannot pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system.
Commissions on transactions that are refunded, cancelled, voided or flagged as fraudulent will be automatically removed from commission calculations.
There are three types of referrals offered by Lab401:
- 0% / 10% : 0% commission paid to the Affiliate, 10% discount given to customers.
- 5% / 5% : 5% commission paid to the Affiliate, 5% discount given to customers.
- 10% / 0% : 10% commission paid to the Affiliate, 0% discount given to customers.
Affiliates can select their preferred commission basis when they register for the Affiliate Program.
Payment
Accrued referral fees are paid via bank transfer once per month and only when your accrued referral fees total €10 or more. You must have a valid bank account to receive referral fees, as we do not offer payment via cheque/check, credit card, cash or other method.
Customer payments refunded or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for referral fees. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.
A summary of commissions and statement of referral fees is available to the Affiliate by logging into their Affiliate account.
We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you.
We reserve the right to check and change commissions on the basis of orders actually paid, the notification e-mail is not understood as a confirmed commission - this is only a notification, and every payment will be verified based on real transactions.
