AFFILIATE PROGRAM TERMS & AGREEMENT

1. OVERVIEW

This Affiliate Program Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Namecheap,
Inc. (“Namecheap”) and the signor of this Agreement (“Affiliate”), and is made effective as of the
date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Affiliate’s
participation in Namecheap’s Affiliate Program (“Affiliate Program") and is in addition to any
other agreement that Affiliate may have entered into with Namecheap by virtue of being a
customer. In this Agreement “you,” “your” or “Affiliate” shall refer to any individual or entity who
accepts this Agreement. The terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Namecheap, Inc.
(“Namecheap”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or
benefits.

Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand,
acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with Namecheap’s Universal
Terms of Service Agreement (make this a link), which is incorporated herein by reference.

This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us under the
Affiliate Program offered by Namecheap. Namecheap offers several ways to sign up to be an
Affiliate, including via your Namecheap account panel (“platforms”.) You are only permitted to
sign up via one of the available options. The Affiliate Program is purely a referral program by
which you can earn commissions as outlined herein. Commissions are earned by you as an
independent contractor and, as such, you are responsible for paying any taxes due on such
commissions. In addition, you are required to provide any/all accurately completed tax related
information and forms that is requested by the platform in which you enrolled. Failure to do so
will result in a forfeiture of your commissions.

Changes and Modifications to the Agreement. Namecheap, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are
incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective
immediately upon posting to the Namecheap website (this
"Site"). You acknowledge and agree

that (i) Namecheap may or may not notify you of such changes or modifications prior to posting
them to this Site and (ii) your continued participation in the Affiliate Program (via any platform)
after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the "Last Revised" date
on this page) shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not
agree to be bound by this Agreement as last revised, you must formally terminate your Affiliate
status. In addition, while not required, Namecheap may occasionally notify you of changes or
modifications

to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your account ("Account")
information, including your email address, current in the Affiliate interface that you have
selected. Namecheap assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email
notification if such failure results from an inaccurate or out-of-date email address.

Suspension or Termination of Affiliate Program Participation. Namecheap reserves the

right to suspend participation in the Affiliate Program in the event of an unresolved breach of
this Agreement or if suspension or cancellation is required by any policy now in effect or later
adopted by ICANN. You agree that your failure to comply completely with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and any Namecheap rule or policy may be considered to be a
material breach of this Agreement and that Namecheap may provide you with notice of such
breach either in writing or electronically (i.e. email). If you do not provide Namecheap with
material evidence that you have not breached your obligations within ten (10) business days,
Namecheap may terminate your participation immediately and take any remedial action
available to Namecheap under the applicable laws. Such remedial action may be implemented
without notice to you.

In addition, you acknowledge and agree that Namecheap may terminate your participation as an
Affiliate if: (a) you or your site violates, as determined by Namecheap in its sole and absolute
discretion, any of the Affiliate Restrictions outlined in Section 3 and/or any additional restrictions
named; (b) for non-payment of fees, if any; and/or (c) if your site is not live, is under
construction, or is a personal homepage or another personal site.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Acceptance into the Affiliate Program is at our sole discretion, which may be withheld for any
reason or for no reason at all.

How it Works. Namecheap’s Affiliate Program allows you to earn commissions on sales to new
Namecheap customers via advertising on your "web site" or "publishing location" (such as an
electronic newsletter or blog) (hereinafter “Your Site”) that contains a link with your affiliate ID.
This advertising will allow you to drive traffic (‘sessions”) to Namecheap’s web site. You will earn
a percentage of the revenue generated, or commission as outlined in your platform
agreement,when a person or entity (that is not you or your agent(s)) makes their first- time
purchase of certain Namecheap products or services (“New Customer”) after being referred to
through the unique affiliate link that is contained on Your Site.

After being referred to the Namecheap web site from a link contained on Your Site, visitors have
thirty (30) days to complete their purchase for you to receive a commission. Should the visitor
click on another referral link that is not controlled by you, or return to the Namecheap web site
via another source-coded advertising link during the initial thirty (30) days, your affiliate link will
be overwritten and you will not receive a commission for that visitor’s purchase.

Enrollment. Enrollment into Namecheap’s Affiliate Program can happen via any of the
platforms indicated on our Affiliate page on our Namecheap website. Affiliates may switch
between platforms but may only enroll on one platform at any given time.

Commissionable Sales. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that Namecheap will only pay for
first-time purchases by new customers. Affiliate will only receive commission for purchases
completed after linking through Affiliate’s unique referral link and completing such purchases
within 30 days of first visiting the Namecheap site. Subsequent purchases made by the same
customer (including by accessing Namecheap’s web site directly) will not be commissionable.
All Namecheap products and services will be eligible for a commission except premium
domains, domains bought at Namecheap Marketplace and apps.

Restrictions on Eligible Commissions. You are not eligible for a commission payment on
purchases made by you, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors (all
considered your “agents”), as well as purchases made from several accounts owned by the
same person. Commission is paid for the first purchase only made by a certain person.
Namecheap employees (and their immediate family members) are not allowed to participate in
the Namecheap Affiliate Program.

3. AFFILIATE RESTRICTIONS

time customers only) will result in removal from the Affiliate Program;

mails, paid search or any other campaign; 
 


• You may not give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website, in
order to 
redeem. For example, if all domain registrations include free 1- year WhoIs Privacy
Protection subscription, you may not turn this into an offer that infers that the customer must
click from your site to get this deal. 


4. COMMISSION PAYMENTS 


• We will pay you the commission in effect on the date of each sale; 
 


• Commission rates are as named in the platform in which you enrolled in our Affiliate Program;

Namecheap Affiliate Program. For clarity, commissions will not be earned for sales using
any Namecheap coupon code that was not provided through the platform in which you
 enrolled. We reserve the right to not pay commissions on any purchases made with any
other coupon codes and such commissions, if paid, will be reversed.; 
 


• You acknowledge and agree that, as an independent contractor, you are responsible for any
taxes owed due to commissions paid to you and that you will provide any/all necessary
taxable information to the platform in which you enrolled. You also acknowledge and
agree that failure to comply with this requirement will result in a forfeiture of your
commissions. 
You acknowledge and agree that no commission is payable if Your Site:



• Contains software or uses technology that attempts to intercept, divert or redirect

Internet traffic to or from any other web site, or that potentially enables the diversion of affiliate
commissions from another web site. This includes toolbars, browser plug- ins, extensions and
add-ons; 


• Sends traffic to namecheap.com, or any other Namecheap websites, that is generated by

unauthorized traffic channels, e.g. click exchanges, banner exchanges, paid search advertising,
etc; and

showing the appropriate Namecheap banner or affiliate link to our web site.

• Terminate your participate in the Affiliate Program at any time for any reason. If your
participation is terminated, Namecheap will make any commission payments from validly

 generated" from Your Site shall be made in Namecheap's sole and absolute discretion; 




• Suspend your participation in the Affiliate Program at any time for any reason. If you are
suspended, you will not receive any commission payments during your suspension
period, whether such commission payments accrued before or during your suspension
period. After completion of an internal investigation, if you are allowed to continue to
participate in the Affiliate Program, Namecheap will make any commission payments
from valid purchases from Your Site which accrued before or during your suspension
period. You acknowledge and agree that the determination as to whether a purchase
was "valid" from Your Site shall be made in Namecheap's sole and absolute discretion. 




• Require the forfeiture of any previously earned revenue, which has been paid or yet to be
paid on any purchases you generated or assisted in generating during any times when
you are in violation of this Agreement. 
 


• Deactivate any and all accounts and domains that Namecheap believes, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to be violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

sum, Namecheap will track all commissions earned and may, at its sole discretion, decide not to

not strictly follow this Agreement and its guidelines, as modified from time to time. 


5. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

As an affiliate, we provide you with the links and banners necessary to promote Namecheap
products and services, which you may display in any area of Your Site as you wish. The links
will identify Your Site as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from Your
Site to ours. You acknowledge and agree it is your sole responsibility to indicate your correct
unique affiliate ID in the promo materials you use on Your Site. You may 
promote the products

and services that Namecheap offers in any manner you choose unless it misleads visitors about
Namecheap services.

You also understand and agree that participation in the Affiliate Program requires ongoing
activity. Should you no longer wish to participate in the Affiliate Program, you may withdraw by
following the guidelines set by the platform in which you enrolled.

If you are an Affiliate directly with Namecheap, you may withdraw by submitting a Notice of
Withdrawal via your Namecheap account panel. Your email to us must indicate that you will
cease use of our advertising tools and remove them from Your Site. Upon receipt of your email,
we will confirm removal of our tools from Your Site. Once confirmed, we will ensure that you
receive final payment for any valid purchases that are pending commission payment.

Affiliates that are inactive for six (6) months and who have not withdrawn from the program
(“Inactive Affiliates”) may, at Namecheap’s sole discretion, be considered effectively withdrawn
from the program.

6. OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Namecheap is responsible for processing the order, cancellations, returns and other related
customer service for Namecheap products and services. However, Namecheap will not be
responsible for lost sales due to technical difficulties preventing Namecheap from registering a
domain name or providing any other product or service to the visitor. Namecheap is also
responsible for tracking and validating affiliate sales and commissions and providing this
information to the chosen affiliate platform in order to facilitate payments. Namecheap does not,
however, control the payment processing of commission payments to you by the platform which
you selected.

Namecheap will pay out on commissions for valid sales. Valid sales are sales whereby the
customer pays the full, expected price and such sales are not cancelled, reversed, returned or
discounted/voided in any way. Where payment happens through a third party platform,
Namecheap is responsible for payment to the platform you selected and the platform is
specifically responsible for payment to you.

7. FTC DISCLOSURE POLICY

At Namecheap, our aim is to treat customers fairly and, together with our affiliates, to comply
with laws, including all Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations that relate to advertising.
FTC regulations include, but are not limited to, Federal Trade Commission 16 CFR Part 255:
Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. Among other
criteria it requires that material connections between advertisers and endorsers must be fully
disclosed. This means that affiliates that provide an assessment or endorsement of an
advertiser (Namecheap) must disclose financial or in-kind compensation that is provided by
advertiser.

Namecheap reserves the right to withhold referral fees and cancel the affiliate relationship with
you, should we find, at our discretion, that you do not comply with Namecheap's FTC disclosure
policy or any other FTC regulations or guidelines we view as applicable.

8. PRIVACY: GDPR

The parties agree that Namecheap and Partner will each be a separate processor in relation to
any personal data (i) that is subject to the European Data Protection Legislation; and (ii) that
Namecheap and Partner, respectively, process on behalf of a customer [or specific term we use
for prospects and customers] in connection with the Affiliate Agreement. The terms “personal
data” and “processor” as used in this section have the meanings given in the European Data
Protection Legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Partner nor Namecheap will be
acting as the other party’s processor.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Namecheap shall not be liable for any unauthorized access to, or any corruption, erasure, theft,
destruction, alteration, or inadvertent disclosure of data, information or content transmitted,
received, or stored on its system or any third-party systems. With respect to passwords, account
identifiers and other systems used to control access to your account, it is your responsibility to
safeguard such passwords, account identifiers, and other systems used to control access to
your account.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,

INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE OUR
WEB SITE(S) OR THE MATERIALS AND CONTENT OF THE WEB SITE(S) OR ANY OTHER
WEB SITES LINKED TO SUCH WEB SITE(S) OR YOUR PROVISION OF ANY PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD PARTY.
THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY
OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. BECAUSE
CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE LIMITATION OR ELIMINATION OF
LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OUR LIABILITY IN SUCH
JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IF
ANY PROVISION OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE,
ONLY SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE REMOVED AND THE REMAINDER SHALL BE
ENFORCED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. INDEMNITY AND DEFENSE

expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, for third party
claims relating to or arising under (i) Affiliate’s breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement,
