At ShoppersKai, we value transparency and fairness in all affiliate marketing transactions conducted through our platform. This section outlines the detailed terms governing the affiliate commission structure and payout process for content creators, influencers, and affiliates (collectively referred to as "Creators"). By engaging in affiliate marketing on our platform, you agree to the following terms:
Responsibility for Commission Payments:
Merchants or brands partnering with ShoppersKai ("Merchants") are solely responsible for paying commissions on sales generated by Creators through affiliate links or promotional activities. ShoppersKai serves as an intermediary, facilitating these transactions and providing Creators with a platform to monetize their content. ShoppersKai is not directly responsible for paying commissions; rather, payments are contingent upon the receipt of funds from Merchants.
As a Creator, you will only receive commission payments once the Merchant has remitted the corresponding payment to ShoppersKai. The payment timeline may vary depending on the Merchant's processing cycles, and ShoppersKai cannot be held liable for delays caused by a Merchant's failure to remit payments in a timely manner. Commission payouts will only be processed after ShoppersKai has received final confirmation from the Merchant that the transaction is valid, complete, and eligible for commission.
Payout Schedule and Processing:
Payouts for eligible commission earnings will be processed on a monthly basis or according to the payout schedule communicated by ShoppersKai from time to time. "Eligible earnings" refer to commissions calculated on the net order value, which accounts for deductions such as returns, cancellations, or discounts that may be reported by the Merchant.
For instance, if a customer places an order on the 20th of January with a total value of INR 6,000, but returns products worth INR 2,000, the net order value would be INR 4,000. If the Merchant provides this order data to ShoppersKai on the 10th of February, the eligible earnings for that order will be based on the INR 4,000 and will be processed in the next payout cycle, typically in the first week of March.
ShoppersKai does not control the timing of the data provided by Merchants regarding returns, cancellations, or other adjustments to the order value. Consequently, Creators acknowledge that payout delays may occur due to the Merchant's reporting processes, and ShoppersKai will not be liable for any delays caused by Merchants in sharing or verifying this data.
Commission Rates and Variability:
Commission rates vary by Merchant and product category. While ShoppersKai endeavors to provide accurate estimates of potential earnings, all commission rates are subject to change without notice. Changes in commission rates may result from promotional adjustments, shifts in Merchant policies, modifications to revenue share agreements, or budget constraints on the part of brands. As a result, the actual commission rate applied to any specific transaction may differ from the estimated rate displayed at the time of promotion.
Creators are advised to regularly review the current commission rates provided by Merchants through the ShoppersKai platform. ShoppersKai cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies between the estimated and actual commission rates, as final decisions on commission payouts rest with the Merchants.
Merchants reserve the right to reverse, deny, or modify commissions under specific circumstances
Commission Rates and Variability:
Creators who are required to submit invoices and possess a valid Goods and Services Tax (GST) number must provide ShoppersKai with a compliant tax invoice. It is the Creator's responsibility to ensure that their invoices adhere to applicable tax laws, including but not limited to:
1. Issuance of GST-compliant invoices within the prescribed timeframes.
2. Accurate reporting of taxes paid to the relevant government authorities.
3. Provision of invoices to ShoppersKai for records and input tax credit purposes.
ShoppersKai will not be liable for any tax-related obligations incurred by the Creator. Creators must comply with all relevant tax laws in their jurisdiction and ensure that all required taxes are properly accounted for.
By using ShoppersKai, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions related to affiliate marketing, commission structure, and payments. Your participation in our affiliate program is contingent upon compliance with these terms and the applicable policies of Merchants.
