Each Link connecting users of the Referral Partner Site to the pertinent area of the aml.certified.ph website will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of the website. Any violations of the terms surrounding links, coupons, refunds, credits or discounts shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and may result in your termination from the Referral Partner Program or the withholding of Commission Fees
- Data Security
- Referral Partner shall comply with all applicable data protection laws regarding the transmission of data, including without limitation, the Republic Act 10173 – Data Privacy Act of 2012. Referral Partner shall also implement appropriate technical measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purpose of processing any personal data. Referral Partner agrees to promptly assist Framedia in complying with any data subject rights request under the specified Data Privacy Act that Framedia may receive from any individuals referred to Framedia by Referral Partner. Referral Partner further agrees to promptly assist Framedia in complying with any duties to cooperate with supervisory authorities under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
- Order Processing
- Framedia will process orders placed by Referred Customers who follow the Links from a Referral Partner Site to aml.certified.ph. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements that we may establish from time to time. All aspects of order processing and fulfilment, including Framedia’s services, cancellation, processing, refunds and payment processing will be our responsibility. We will track the Qualified Purchases generated by your Referral Partner Site and will make this information available to you through our website. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your website and our website are properly formatted.
- Commission Determination; Qualified Purchases
- Commissions will be calculated based on the commission rates stated on the Framedia website for each Qualified Purchase (as defined herein) subject to commission accruing pursuant to Section 8 below. A “Qualified Purchase” does NOT include the following:
- A purchase by a Referred Customer that has transferred from any Framedia partners or subsidiaries or other Referral Partners.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer who is also associated with any Framedia reseller, referral, or other program.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer that is not up to date on its payments or is subject to a refund, referral, or other program.
- A purchase that was completed prior to the Referral Partner joining the Referral Partner Program or was not tracked properly through a Referral Partner Link.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a period of at least thirty (30) days or is in violation of Framedia’s Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue.
- A purchase that Framedia suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud, which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same customer, or the referral of accounts that do not comply with this Agreement.
- A purchase referred by a Referral Partner that has an excessive cancellation rate as determined in Framedia’s sole discretion.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Referred Customer was offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Referral Partner.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Referral Partner or Referred Customer is in or is promoting a business-opportunity program, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer who received a popup with a discounted offer, while leaving Framedia’s website during their purchase.
- A purchase by a Referred Customer engaging in "Domain Speculation," which is determined by the identification of two (2) web hosting accounts with the same Referred Customer's name, email address, or other identifying characteristic as determined by Framedia and/or the identification of two (2) or more web hosting accounts that have no content on their websites or have similar content, templates or formatting, as determined by Framedia, in our sole discretion.
- Framedia reserves the right to withhold payment of initial Commissions Fees to Referral Partners who are new to the Referral Partner Program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Framedia in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.
- Framedia reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Referral Partner or a Referred Customer. Framedia reserves the right to deduct from Referral Partner's current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled purchases.
- Framedia reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee that fails to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Referral Partner is responsible for monitoring the payment, denial, and withholding of Commission Fees; Framedia is not obligated to actively notify Referral Partners of the status of Commission Fees. If Referral Partner has a question about a Commission Fee that has been cancelled or withheld, Referral Partner has thirty (30) days from the day the payment would have been due to contact Framedia to request that the Commission Fee be paid. Any changes to decisions about cancelled or withheld Commission Fees are strictly made in Framedia’s sole discretion.
- Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Framedia reseller, referral or other program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase. In other words, you may not receive double commissions or compensation.
- In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Framedia by a Referral Partner are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Framedia in its sole discretion, Framedia reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees to such Referral Partner.
- Any attempt by a Referral Partner to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referred Customers, Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Framedia or any violation of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Framedia to terminate the Referral Partners participation in the Referral Partner Program and will result in the forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Referral Partner.
- Accrual of Commissions
- Commissions will accrue and only become payable once you
-
- provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to Section 9 below; and
- reach the Commission Threshold, based on the commission rates stated on the Framedia website, solely as applied to Qualified Purchases which occurred within ninety (90) days of the end of the calendar month in which the first of such Qualified Purchases occurred.
- For example, if you provide sign-ups which result in one Qualified Purchase on January 1st and a second sign-up which leads to a Qualified Purchase on August 10th, and you provide all necessary tax documentation on August 10th, no commission would accrue because the second Qualified Purchase occurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of January when the first Qualified Purchase occurred. However, if you subsequently provide a sign up which leads to another Qualified Purchase on September 5th of the same year, then commissions would accrue on the latter two Qualified Purchases (i.e., the Qualified Purchases from August and September of the same year). All Qualified Purchases still eligible to result in commissions under this Section 8 must remain active and in good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain eligible for accrual of a commission. Once a commission has accrued under this Section 7, the amount of such commission (the “Commission Fee”) shall be due and payable to you under the terms of Section 8. Framedia reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold by amending this Agreement and will notify you for any such amendment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
- Commission Payments
- Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the accrual of commissions as set forth in Section 7 above, commissions will be calculated according to the specified percentage or Philippine Peso amount set forth in the commission report in your Referral Partner Console for each Qualified Purchase that accrues during the period for which such commission fee is being calculated.
- Commission Fees will be processed approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) days after the end of the month or other period in which they accrue. Framedia will only compensate you for Qualified Purchases made in accordance with this Agreement.
- Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in your Referral Partner profile. You are required to notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating your profile information in the Referral Partner console. You are responsible for informing Framedia of your desired payment form/type. You can update or change your desired payment method at any time by updating your Referral Partner profile located in the Referral Partner console. Any changes to your desired payment method may take up to two payout cycles to take effect.
- You may choose to receive Commission Fees through PayPal, Direct bank payment, or check, subject to the following conditions:
-
-
- PayPal Payments: Please refer to PayPal's policy to ensure you are eligible to receive payment if you reside outside of the United States https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside. (PayPal payments will only be reissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the original issue date in the case of an incorrect PayPal address or refusal from PayPal to accept a payment.)
- Direct Bank Payment: you supply the details of the bank you want payment made into, and that it is a valid bank account
- Framedia is not responsible for paying any third-party fees charged by PayPal or bank transfers in order for you to receive Referral Partner Commission Fees.
- Framedia, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the available commission payment methods or payment schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted.
- Disputes: Referral Partner has access to Framedia's real-time Referral Partner Program statistics and agrees to file any disputes within forty-five (45) days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes filed after forty-five (45) days of the date on which the disputed sale or event occurred will not be accepted by Framedia and Referral Partner forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
- It is solely your responsibility to provide Framedia with accurate tax and payment information that is necessary to issue a Commission Fee to you. If Framedia does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within ninety (90) days of a Qualified Purchase which would otherwise trigger Commission Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no Commission Fees will be owed with respect to such Qualified Purchase.
- Any address change must be made in the Referral Partner profile in the Referral Partner console at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the end of the calendar month in order for Commission Fees for that month to be processed.
- Reports of Qualified Purchases
- You may log into your Referral Partner console to review your click through and potential Qualified Purchases statistics on a daily basis. The potential Qualified Purchases shown in this report have not been reviewed to confirm they meet all criteria for Qualified Purchases. As such, Commission Fees may not be issued for all Referred Customers that appear in the Referral Partner console.
- Obligations Regarding Your Referral Partner Site
- You are solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your Referral Partner Site and for all materials that appear on your Referral Partner Site. Such responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Framedia will be solely responsible for all order processing, including but not limited to payment processing, cancellations, refunds and related Framedia service.
- Policies and Pricing
Referred Customers who buy Framedia Products and Services through our Referral Partner network are deemed to be Framedia Customers. Framedia’s Terms and Conditions, rules, policies, and operating procedures will apply to such customers. We may change our policies, pricing, and operating procedures at any time. For example, Framedia determines the prices to be charged for Framedia Products and Services sold through the Referral Partner network in accordance with our own pricing policies. Prices and availability of Framedia Products and Services may vary from time to time, from Referral Partner to Referral Partner, and from region to region. Because price changes may affect products that you have listed on your Referral Partner Site, you may or may not be able to include price information in your product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information on our website, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular Framedia Product or Service.
12. E-mails and Publicity
- You shall not create, publish, transmit or distribute, under any circumstances, any bulk email messages (also known as "SPAM") without prior written consent from Framedia, to be granted or denied in Framedia’s sole discretion, in each instance. Additionally, you may only send emails containing a Framedia Referral Partner link and or a message regarding Framedia or Framedia's Referral Partner Program to people who have previously consented to receiving such communications from you. Your failure to abide by this Section 14, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, our Anti-Spam Policy, and all applicable laws relating to email communications, in any manner, will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by you and will result in the forfeiture by you of any and all rights you may have to any commissions and the termination of your participation in the Referral Partner Program.
