Affiliate / Referral Commissions

Web Widgets' affiliate programme is great if you're interested in promoting Web Widgets' products and services, which in turn will provide you with an additional ongoing passive income stream.

You can value add our services with your own special abilities, to charge your customers a setup fee for website design, search engine optimisation or merely providing a helping hand. 

Or you might just want to refer customers and let them build their own website. 

In either case, there are no contracts and no setup fees. You just need to be an existing customer in order to receive your commission discounts. 

All you do is refer new customers to us, and each customer who ends up using our web hosting services automatically earns you 20% or more in commission.

If you have a website, we make this process easy for you -- just include a Web Widgets link on your site, which 'sends' potential customers to our website.

How it works:

• We will offer a 20% rebate on your referred customers' hosting fees. 
  
• The rebate is applied automatically every time the referred customer's account is charged for web hosting. 
  
• You will also get a 20% discount on any subsequent websites you host with us. 

Receiving Your Affiliate Rebates

• Rebates are credited to your web hosting statement
• If you earn more rebates than your own hosting fees, then you may use these 'credits' for domain names or other web design services from Web Widgets.
• You may also transfer your credits to another Web Widgets hosting customer.
• Cash payments will be made only to businesses who can invoice and demonstrate their domestic tax compliance.

How we track new referred customers

If you have an affiliate link on your website, this will usually take care of tracking the referred customer.

Many referrals are usually either made online or via word of mouth. If you have made a referral by word of mouth, please let us know as soon as the new customer has started their trial, or soon after they have gone live.

Our affiliate tracking code works well much of the time, but we cannot back-date rebates. To avoid disappointment, we advise you to notify our support staff the moment you know your referral(s) have made a start on their websites.

If you notify us after the referral website has gone live for some time, rebates will begin from the next anniversary date.

Discount / Rebate Table

Commission / rebate conditions:

• You must be a current web hosting customer of Web Widgets to qualify for a 20% rebate on referred customers.
• You are only entitled to receive rebates on your account once your website is live. However, you may link the referrals prior to making your website live. Once you have referred 5 live customers, your website hosting would be free.
• You will only get the 20% rebate on the referred customer's first website but not their subsequent sites. The referred customer will be entitled to a rebate of their own on any subsequent websites they host us. 
• If you have two websites on different hosting plans, the discount will be applied to the cheaper plan. If your referred customers are on a higher hosting plan, then the rebate will be calculated on the cheapest hosting plan(s).
• This rebate is calculated only on web hosting fees and does not apply to domain names, web design nor any other services.
• Rebates are calculated on the same date the referred customer is invoiced.
• Rebates will be reversed if the referred customer does not pay their invoice.
