"ISR Agreement"
Last Updated on February 10, 2020
This Independent Sales Representative ("ISR") Agreement, including and incorporating its Appendices ("Agreement"), governs your application for, and any subsequent participation in, WhatsUpDocConnect.com "WhatsUpDoc" WhatsUpDoc's ISR Program as described in this Agreement. By clicking "I Accept the Terms and Conditions" and "Submit" at the end of this Agreement, you thereby: a) indicate that you have read and understood this Agreement; b) indicate that you have read and understood the rules and requirements for ISRs at isrprogram.com ("ISR Rules") and the WhatsUpDoc Terms of Use at WhatsUpDocConnect.com; c) accept the terms of this Agreement, the ISR Rules and the Terms of Use; and d) agree that you are bound by the terms of this Agreement, the ISR Rules and the Terms of Use.
1. PARTIES. All references to "WhatsUpDoc" and "we" mean and refer to What's Up Doc Ltd, doing business as WhatsUpDocConnect. All references to "you" and "your" mean and refer to the person or entity who has executed this Agreement by clicking "I Accept the Terms and Conditions" and "Submit". WhatsUpDoc and you are each referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
2. APPLICATION. To register for the ISR Program, you must complete and submit the ISR Application ("Application"). You agree to provide all the information requested by WhatsUpDoc in connection with your Application, and you affirm that all the information that you provide is truthful and accurate. An Application will be rejected if it is incomplete. You understand and agree that WhatsUpDoc retains sole and absolute discretion to determine whether you qualify for participation in the WhatsUpDoc ISR program. Not everyone who applies for the WhatsUpDoc ISR program will qualify to participate. You will have no legal recourse against WhatsUpDoc for the rejection of your Application. You must be 18 years old, or older, to submit an Application.
3. CONSENT TO BE CONTACTED. You expressly consent to WhatsUpDoc contacting you at the email address and the phone number you provide in your Application, including through automated dialing systems, texts and artificial or pre-recorded messages. This consent is a material condition of this Agreement and may not be revoked except in writing by both Parties.
4. STANDARD ISR PROGRAM. If your Application to become an ISR is approved by WhatsUpDoc, you will receive a unique alphanumeric code also referred to as (redemption code) that you may use to promote WhatsUpDocConnect.com. You will have the opportunity to receive a commission for each Sale you make as an ISR. Commissions are generated when a prospect becomes a paying member of WhatsUpDoc using your unique assigned redemption code (the "Sale"), and when that paying member makes his/her monthly payments.
The ISR Program does not use affiliate cookies or affiliate links. You will only be paid a commission for each monthly membership payment by members who use your assigned redemption code. It is the ISR's responsibility to ensure that his/her ISR redemption code is placed within his/her promotional material correctly and is properly communicated to potential members.
ISRs must maintain active status by making at least three Sales in any given three month period (a minimum of three new paying members per quarter). In the event that active status is not maintained, you will continue to receive commissions payments, calculated at the lowest commission rate, for a period of one year from your last month of activity. After one year of inactivity, your commissions will no longer be paid and will be forfeited.
You must provide WhatsUpDoc your complete W-9 tax information before you will be paid commissions. Only residents of the United States can earn commissions. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax and other governmental laws in your jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the filing of all tax returns and other required documents and the payment of all required taxes of any nature, including income and other taxes due on commissions paid by WhatsUpDoc under this Agreement.
ISRs will not be paid commissions for payments made on their own membership accounts. ISRs are not permitted to become members of WhatsUpDoc under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining commissions or any other compensation, or to gain Super ISR status. ISRs are not permitted to gain Super ISR status by having any affiliates, affiliated or related entities or people become members solely for the purpose of the ISR gaining Super ISR status. ISRs are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain Sales.
WhatsUpDoc reserves the right to change the ISR Commissions payment structure at any time. You will be notified in advance if this happens; the changes are never retroactive.
5. COMPENSATION. Commission rates are based on the number of Sales made each calendar month by the ISR. The established commission rates are described in Appendix B ("Commission Amounts").
All commission payments are based on actual collected membership payments (less any applicable taxes), but not on any member registration fees. For example: we may offer a new member the promotion of a free month with a one-time registration fee. No commission will be paid for the free month, as no monthly payment has been made.
Commissions are paid after a one month holding period, to ensure that any chargebacks or refund payments can be deducted from the commissions. Payments shall be made on the 15th of each month. In the event the 15th of the month falls on a holiday, payments shall be made on the next business day.
For example: In January, you earn a commission for each monthly membership payment by members who joined using your code. The commission rate (percentage) is determined by the number of Sales (new members who made their first monthly payment) as of the last day of that month (January). That earned commission is held until the end of the next month (February), to allow for any chargebacks or refunds. You will receive your commissions payment the 15th of the month following the hold (March 15th).
In order to maximize commissions payments, we will compare your Sales in any given month (i.e., January) to your average Sales per month over a 3-month lookback period (November, December and January). Your commission rate for January will be based on the higher of those two numbers. The lookback average will not be used to lower your commissions. An example of how commissions are calculated appears in Appendix B.
All approved, non-refunded commissions are paid out once per month, with a minimum payment threshold of $50.00. Amounts below $50.00 will accrue in your account and payment will be made in the month in which your total commissions payment achieves the minimum $50.00.
Commissions are only paid for transactions that actually occur between WhatsUpDoc and a paying member, in which payment is received by WhatsUpDoc. If payment for a membership later results in a refund or chargeback and you had already received a commission payment for that Sale, then that commission will be deducted from future commissions. If WhatsUpDoc determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no commission will be paid for such and, for past Sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from your future commissions, and WhatsUpDoc may terminate this Agreement immediately without having any liability to you.
Commissions payments will be made via PayPal. ISRs can create a free PayPal account and must enter their correct payment address in their application form and dashboard to be eligible for payments.
6. NEW ISR BONUS. As an added incentive, WhatsUpDoc doubles the commissions paid to new Standard ISRs for the first three consecutive months, starting with your first commissions payment after receiving your code, provided that you act in accordance with all terms and conditions of the Standard ISR Program and in compliance with this Agreement and the Terms of Use.
7. SUPER ISR PROGRAM AND COMPENSATION. As a Standard ISR, you may become a Super ISR and receive commissions for Sales made by Standard ISRs who have enrolled in WhatsUpDoc's ISR program using your code (also known as redemption code). One code which is used when signing up members, also used when signing up ISR's. To qualify as a Super ISR you must: a) act in accordance with all terms and conditions of the Standard ISR Program and be in compliance with this Agreement and the Terms of Use; and b) have at least one Standard ISR that enrolls in WhatsUpDoc's ISR Program using your code.
For each Standard ISR that signs up with your code, meets the ISR requirements set forth in this Agreement, and receives commissions, you shall receive, in addition to your Standard ISR commission, an additional commission based on the Sales made by the ISR who signed up using your code (the "Super ISR Commission"), as set forth in Appendix B. You shall receive the Super ISR Commission whether you are an active ISR or not. However, once the Standard ISR on whom your Super ISR Commissions are based no longer receives commissions due to inactivity (is no longer making Sales), you shall no longer receive commissions based on his/her Sales. You shall not receive Super ISR Commissions based solely on the one year extended commissions payments made to inactive ISRs.
8. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. You understand and agree that ISRs are independent contractors of WhatsUpDoc. This Agreement creates a contractual relationship between the Parties, but it is the express understanding and intention of the Parties that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to create the relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, or master and servant as between you and WhatsUpDoc. You have no right, and are not authorized, to bind WhatsUpDoc, to act or appear to act as an agent or representative of WhatsUpDoc, whether in the performance of this Agreement or otherwise, or to share in WhatsUpDoc's profits or losses. The only compensation available to you is set forth in this Agreement. You will not be entitled to workers compensation, retirement, insurance or other benefits which may be afforded to employees of WhatsUpDoc. It is understood and agreed that WhatsUpDoc shall not withhold any monies from ISR commissions for income, self-employment, payroll or any other taxes, and the ISR is solely responsible for the payment of all taxes owing from commissions paid by WhatsUpDoc.
You are solely and exclusively responsible and liable for all of your acts, obligations and omissions. This Agreement does NOT give WhatsUpDoc any authority or control over your performance of work or the means by which the work is to be accomplished. You shall have complete and authoritative control as to the details of performing the work which is the Object of this Agreement. It is agreed that the ISR shall bear all costs and expenses attendant to ISR's Sales efforts without reimbursement from WhatsUpDoc, unless the parties shall otherwise mutually agree from time to time. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted to create a partnership or joint venture between you and WhatsUpDoc.
