Last updated: August 24st, 2023

Thank you for your interest in joining the Oia Skin Affiliate Program (the "Program") operated by 2359 US Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Oia Skin”). Before you may join the Program, you must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained or incorporated by reference in these Terms of Service, including Oia Skin’s Privacy Policy available at https://oiaskin.co/policies/privacy-policy. By joining the Program, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions below (the "Agreement").

We may change this Agreement at any time upon notice to you via the following URL: oiaskin.co/pages/affiliates-terms

1. enrollment in the program

(a) In order to join the Program, you must submit an application through the Program as designated by Oia Skin via our affiliate platform, BixGrow, and agree to the terms of this Agreement. All information provided by you in connection with any application and your participation in the Program must be complete and accurate. If your information changes, it is your responsibility to immediately update such information with Oia Skin or BixGrow, as applicable.

(b) Upon receiving your application, we will review your information and notify you of your acceptance or rejection into our Program via email. We reserve the right to reject any application or later revoke an accepted application in our sole discretion.

(c) As part of your application, and at any time upon request, you must identify for us at least one website, app, social media channel and/or other services that you will use in connection with the Program (“Your Services”). All of Your Services are subject to our prior written approval.

(d) In order to participate in the Program, you are required to create an account as an affiliate of Oia Skin. Your account is for your sole, personal use, you may not authorize others to use your account, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You are responsible for the security of your password and will be solely liable for any use or unauthorized use under such password. You must notify us immediately in the event that any unauthorized access to your account is suspected.

2. Affiliate sales commission

(a) We agree to pay you the commission specified in an Offer (as defined below), if a visitor to the Oia Skin site (a “Customer”) uses a Qualifying Link (as defined below) to purchase a product subject to an Offer, which is not otherwise returned, during the time specified in the Engagement (the “Qualifying Action”). No telephone-based purchases, regardless of the original contact of the purchaser shall be included in commissionable sales.

“Offers” shall be links to discount codes and/or other offers for you to promote Oia Skin to consumers through Your Services.
A “Qualifying Link” is a link and/or code from Your Services to oiaskin.co using one of the required URLs or code provided by Oia Skin, if it is the last link to the Oia Skin site that the Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product to a Customer occurs.
A “Session” is the period of time beginning from a Customer’s initial contact with the Oia Skin site via a link from Your Services and terminating when either the Customer returns to the Oia Skin site via a link from a site other than Your Services or the Offer expires or is terminated.

(b) We shall pay you a sales commission for all Qualifying Actions at the rate agreed between us and you (“Sales Commission”) in each Offer. All Sales Commissions shall be paid on the Net Sales Amount.

“Net Sales Amount” means the product revenue received by Oia Skin via a Qualifying Link, less transaction-based costs and expenses, including not limited to sales tax, shipping and handling fees, other services, and credit card fraud or other bad debt.

(c) You are responsible for all taxes and other similar levies applicable to the Sales Commission pursuant to any law or regulation. You shall report the Sales Commission to its taxation authorities as required by law. While we may provide certain information regarding taxes, you acknowledge that we are not tax consultants and that you should consult with your own financial professionals and advisors. Oia Skin may not:

Withhold FICA (Social Security and Medicare taxes) from Contractor's payment or make FICA payments on your behalf;
Make state or federal unemployment compensation contributions on your behalf, or withhold state or federal income tax from your commission.

(d) We shall pay you for your Sales Commission on the timeframe agreed upon between us and you, subject to any and all applicable holding periods determined by BixGrow. We reserve the right to withhold payment as deemed reasonably necessary to prevent suspected cases of fraud. You will receive the Sales Commission in US dollars.

(e) All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a Sales Commission is payable will be made by Oia Skin in its reasonable judgment and will be final and binding on both You and Oia Skin. Prices for the products will be set solely by Oia Skin at its sole discretion.

3. Your Service restrictions

You and Your Service(s) may not:

Infringe on our or any anyone else’s intellectual property, right of publicity, privacy or other rights. This means you may not at any time (unless approved in writing by Oia Skin) go to oiaskin.co or any Oia Skin social media channels to pull images, collateral, video or music to be used in Your Services;
Violate any law, rule or regulation;
Contain or use any content that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, harmful to minors, or contains nudity, pornography or sexually explicit materials;
Contain or use any content that is deceptive, fraudulent or misleading;
Contain or use any discounts links or codes not validly obtained from us;
You may not misuse or otherwise abuse the Qualifying Links, including by enabling unauthorized sharing or posting the Qualifying Links on discount sites or discussion groups. You must immediately report to Oia Skin any unauthorized sharing of the Links as soon as you are aware of any such unauthorized or fraudulent activity.

You also agree that you will not, through Your Services or otherwise, commit any act which brings Oia Skin into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or which insults or offends the general community to which Oia Skin’s advertising materials or products are directed, or which might tend to harm Oia Skin or any of Oia Skin’s products or services including, without limitation, disparaging, their products or services, or their competitors. For the avoidance of doubt, a violation of any of the foregoing requirements in this Section may result in immediate termination from the Program, in Oia Skin’s sole discretion.

Oia Skin reserves the right to require you to edit or remove, within 24 hours, any content created by you regarding the Offer if Oia Skin, in its sole discretion, deems it to be misleading or inaccurate.
