5. AFFILIATE TRACKING COOKIES

We track affiliate sales automatically by using cookies. The cookies are automatically placed in the browser of the user who clicks on the affiliate link in order to reach our website. Every cookie is stored for up to 30 days. If a previous affiliate’s cookie is already placed in the same user’s browser it will be overwritten with the new cookie. If cookies are deleted intentionally by the user, Hostinger does not hold responsibility for this action.

6. AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS

If the sale is for Hostinger Shared hosting (Single/Premium/Business), Cloud hosting (Startup, Professional, Global), VPS 1/2/3/4/5/6 plans, you will receive 60% (sixty percent) Commission. No Commission will be granted for the one-month hosting plans, bought by the clients. With Revenue Share offers the maximum Commission for one sale is $300. Any applicable taxes, fees, additional services (such as personal information protection) and domain prices are excluded. (Example: a client bought Hostinger VPS 4 pack for a year and paid 521.99 USD (taxes included). Here's how your Commission will be counted: ($521.99 - $90.59 (VAT 21% (depends on the country)))*60% = $258.84). In total, you will receive 258.84 USD Commission.

We retain the right to change the Commission structure and the method of calculation of the Commission at any time. Other Commission plans are not offered as standard but could be discussed with your Account Manager after review of the Partnership.

If you disagree with the Commission due as reported, you shall send an email to affiliates@hostingermedia.com and indicate the reasons and/or observations in 30 (thirty) days since the balance due or the force majeure event’s date. Failure to send an email within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed to be considered as an irrevocable acknowledgment.

If the purchase will be canceled or refunded by the request of the client during the 45 days period - the Commission for such purchase will not be credited. We retain the right to review all the transactions for the possible fraud, whether such fraud is on the part of the Customer, or on your part. During the time which We review Commissions for possible fraud or any other concerns due to illegal activity, we may withhold payment of any balance to you for up to 180 (one hundred eighty) days, while We investigate and verify that the relevant transactions comply with the provisions of the Agreement, laws and regulations.

If the commissions are older than 2 years and have not been withdrawn - they will be removed from your affiliate account's balance.

7. INVOICING

We will provide you with the Commission statement due in your Affiliate Area at the start of a new month. Payout requests for the previous payable period should be submitted via specified email until the end of the previous month. For example: the request for July 2021 should be sent by the end of August 2021. Payouts will be released by the 20th of the running month. If the request will be submitted after the end of the previous month - the payout will be transferred to the next payments round. You must have at least 3 approved conversions to request a payment. The minimum payout amount for Paypal withdrawal is $100. The minimum payout for Wire Transfer is $500. Please keep in mind that Wire Transfer payments usually take 3-5 workdays to be completed. Due to this reason, the commission payouts can be released later than the 20th of each month.
