- using a referral code in paid advertisements, including social media advertisements or advertisements that offer other forms of reward;
- advertise through the entire search engine network (eg Google Adworks, Bing Ads etc.) on the brand name 'Boei' or similar spellings;

- to use and display irrelevant, non-objective and misinformation that refers to Boei. This includes real data on urgent marketing proposals (campaigns, offers). The irrelevant or incorrect data may be a basis for suspending the cooperation with the Affiliate;
- performing actions that could damage Boei's existing image, reduce confidence in Boei's services or misinform potential customers about Boei's activities;
- acts that may lead to the creation of obligations on the part of Boei towards third parties who are not customers of Boei.
Article 7 Obligations Boei
1. Boei will pay the Affiliate commission to the Affiliate in a timely manner.
2. Boei will provide the Affiliate with the necessary instructions and recommendations regarding the performance of the obligations under this Agreement.
3. Boei will provide the Affiliate with the necessary promotional material if necessary.
4. Boei may monitor Affiliate's activities.
5. Boei gives the Affiliate the opportunity to view the revenue generated from the license agreements concluded via the Affiliate link by means of a dashboard.
Article 8 - Affiliate commission
1. The Affiliate receives 30% of eligible recurring subscription revenue after discounts, excluding VAT, for the first 12 months from the client's first paid subscription. Refunds reduce commission. One-time charges do not qualify. The customer must sign up within 60 days of following the affiliate link. An existing account qualifies automatically when its owner approves partner management access within 14 days of account signup, it has no previous referrer or partner connection, and the partner is an active Affiliate. The account may already have paid. Eligible payments made before the connection also count if paid within 14 days of account signup. Other existing accounts require explicit approval for commission. Connecting an existing account does not restart its first paid year. Reseller clients do not earn additional affiliate commission. A different written agreement takes precedence where applicable.
2. Commission becomes available for review after 30 days. This allows time for refunds. Boei reviews and sends payouts manually. The dashboard records completed bank transfers and does not automatically transfer money.
3. Payouts are reviewed monthly once available commission reaches $100 (USD). Held commission cannot be paid yet. For non-USD balances, Boei and the Affiliate must agree on the conversion used to check this threshold. The payout amount and any conversion into the transfer currency must also be confirmed before payment.
4. The Affiliate commission on turnover is paid by Boei via the agreed method, being bank transfer to the bank account recorded in Partners.
5. Commission amounts exclude VAT. Any VAT, tax details and required invoice documents must be confirmed before payout under the rules that apply to the parties. The Affiliate is responsible for their own taxes and for providing accurate tax and invoice details.
6. Commission is recorded in the currency of the eligible payment. Historical balances with an unknown currency require review before payout. Bank transfers recorded in Partners currently use EUR. This does not change the $100 (USD) payout threshold.
7. For existing affiliates, these commission rules apply to eligible payments from the stated effective date. The 14-day connection rule in paragraph 1 also covers eligible earlier payments. Eligible commission earned before that date remains on record. The first paid subscription date of an existing customer does not change, and its twelve-month period does not restart. A customer already beyond that period does not generate new commission under these terms. Any specific written agreement that still applies takes precedence.
Article 9 - Confidentiality
1. Boei and the Affiliate undertake to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information obtained in the context of this agreement, including the technical and commercial information obtained from the other party during the execution of this Agreement.
2. If, on the basis of a statutory provision or a court decision, Boei is obliged to (partly) provide the confidential information to the law or competent court or a designated third party, and Boei cannot invoke a right of nondisclosure, Boei is not obliged to any compensation and the Affiliate is not entitled to dissolve the agreement.
3. Boei and the Affiliate also impose the confidentiality obligation on the third parties to be engaged by them.
4. This confidentiality will remain in effect even after this agreement has ended.
5. In the event of a breach of confidentiality, the Affiliate will owe an immediately due and payable fine of EUR 5,000 (five thousand euros), without prejudice to Boei's right to also claim full compensation.
Article 10 - General terms and conditions
Boei's general terms and conditions apply to this agreement. The Affiliate's general terms and conditions expressly do not apply to this agreement.
Article 11 - Liability
1. Boei's total aggregate liability to the Affiliate for all claims arising out of or in connection with this agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the Affiliate Commission paid by Boei to the Affiliate in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
2. Boei is not liable for indirect or consequential damage, including but not limited to consequential damage, lost turnover and profit, loss of data and immaterial damage.
3. The limitations in paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply to liability arising from wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Boei, or to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under mandatory applicable law.
4. If the Affiliate fails and/or acts unlawfully towards Boei, the Affiliate is liable for all damage suffered and to be suffered by Boei without Boei having to send a notice of default.
Article 12 - Personal data
1. Parties do not process personal data for each other. Each of the parties qualifies as a controller within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the GDPR. As a result, the Parties do not have to conclude a processing agreement with each other within the meaning of Article 28 paragraph 3 GDPR.
2. The Affiliate warrants and guarantees that the Affiliate strictly complies with the provisions of Article 13 of the GDPR and therefore has a lawful basis for providing the personal data of his/her customers to Boei. The Affiliate indemnifies Boei against any damage of whatever nature that Boei has suffered or may suffer at any time as a result of acts or omissions on the part of the Affiliate.
3. Affiliate declares and guarantees to process personal data, as defined in Article 4 under 1 GDPR, in a proper and careful manner and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and any applicable code of conduct.
4. The Affiliate will not process or store the personal data for longer than necessary.
Article 13 - Final provisions
1. From their stated effective date, these terms replace earlier general affiliate program terms. A specific written agreement remains valid unless it is changed in writing. This update does not remove eligible commission earned before the effective date.
2. Under no circumstances may the rights and obligations arising from this Agreement be transferred to third parties without Boei's prior written consent.
3. The fact that one of the Parties fails to demand strict compliance with one of the contractual obligations should not be understood as the tacit waiver of the contractual rights that this Party has under the present Agreement and does not prevent the latter from subsequently to demand strict compliance with the relevant provisions or other provisions of this Agreement.
4. Affiliate will notify Boei of any change to relevant data no later than 14 days prior to the date of change. Payment to an incorrect bank account number as a result of the Affiliate's failure to provide a new or different bank account number (or IBAN number) is entirely at the expense and risk of the Affiliate. A transfer made using the bank details the Affiliate provided counts as payment. Boei is not required to send the same amount again because those details were outdated.
Article 14 - Disputes
1. Dutch law applies to this agreement.
2. If a provision of this agreement proves to be void or non-binding, the parties remain bound by the other provisions. The parties will replace the void and/or non-binding provision(s) with a binding provision, the purport of which is as much as possible the same as the provision(s) to be replaced, in the context of this agreement.
3. The competent court in the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved amicably is the Central Netherlands District Court, Utrecht location.
