1. General

These Terms and Conditions (the “Affiliate Agreement“) govern the Affiliate Program that is made available by The Cruiser Group LLC. (“Car Cruiser“, “we” or “us“). These Terms and Conditions represent the whole agreement and understanding between Car Cruiser and the individual or entity who participates in the Affiliate Program (the “Affiliate“, or “you“).

Please read this agreement carefully as it represents a legally binding agreement between you and Car Cruiser. By submitting your application and by your use of the Affiliate Program, you agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions set out in this Affiliate Agreement. Car Cruiser may terminate your Affiliate Account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that is in breach of this Affiliate Agreement, for conduct that Car Cruiser believes is harmful to its business, or for conduct where the use of the Affiliate Program is harmful to any other party.

2. Referral Tracking

Car Cruiser will provide the Affiliate with specific Referral Links to link advertisements and other marketing content to Car Cruiser. Car Cruiser will track users who have visited these Referral Links using cookies that expire after 60 days. Only users who make a purchase while the cookie is active will be considered referrals of the Affiliate and recorded as such in the Affiliate Dashboard.

The Affiliate is not authorized to modify or alter the Referral Links or the cookies in any way. Car Cruiser is not responsible for any tracking or reporting errors that may result from any modifications to the Referral Link or the cookies.

3. Affiliate Fees and Payouts

A referral will become eligible for payout (“Eligible Referral“) at the end of the next calendar month if it meets all of these criteria:

1. The referral makes a purchase (“Booking”) of a vessel part of our fleet and has paid in full.
2. The referral’s account remains active and in good standing.
3. The referral’s account has not had any of its payments refunded, charged back, or otherwise reversed.

All web page error requests (such as 403 errors or 404 errors) will direct traffic to a default Car Cruiser error page. This error page informs visitors that the web page they are looking for cannot be found, and may include, but without limitation to, the following:

1. Links to additional products and services offered by Car Cruiser.
2. Advertisements for products and services offered by third parties.
3. An internet search engine interface.

Failure to meet any of these criteria will permanently void the referral and disqualify the referral from any potential payouts.

The Affiliate is entitled to receive a one-time payment of 5% from the total value paid in United States Dollars for each completed Booking that is recorded in the Affiliate Dashboard (“Affiliate Fee“). Affiliate Fees will be payable only after three (3) days after the Booking the Affiliate has referred has been completed.

All Affiliate Fee payments will be payable in United States Dollars only, except as otherwise determined by Car Cruiser in its sole discretion. Payment will be made through direct bank transfer against a valid invoice issued by the Affiliate using the invoice generation and submission tool located in the Affiliate Dashboard. The Affiliate is responsible for providing Car Cruiser with the full and accurate details that are required to remit the Affiliate Fees and are solely responsible for any delays in payment resulting from its failure to do so.

Referrals will become void, and any unpaid Affiliate Fees will be forfeited, after 12 calendar months.

In the event of any activity deemed suspicious by Car Cruiser, Car Cruiser may delay the payment of Affiliate Fees by up to 6 calendar months to verify the relevant transactions. Car Cruiser reserves the right to recalculate, void, or disqualify any referrals or Affiliate Fees in the event of any fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise illegal activity.

Referrals for purchases made through Car Cruiser promotional or special offers are not eligible for a payout.

4. Advertisements

Car Cruiser hereby grants the Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the Car  Cruiser logos for the sole purpose of promoting our service within the context of the Affiliate Program. This license will expire upon termination of the Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program.

The Affiliate may only display advertisements that contain Car Cruiser’s logos or service marks in good taste. The Affiliate may not use Car Cruiser’s logos or service marks in a manner that, in Car Cruiser’s sole discretion, portrays Car Cruiser in a negative light.
