Terms of use

1. What Perked is

Perked is affiliate software for businesses that bill subscriptions through Stripe. Owners run programs. Affiliates share links and earn commission from the owner. Businesses can also offer their own perk to the customers they refer.

Perked never holds or moves money. It calculates commission and produces payout reports. Each owner pays its own affiliates.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or over and give accurate details.
• Keep your sign-in details and business PIN secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One person or business per account. Don't create accounts to get around a block or to refer yourself.

3. Program owners

• You connect your own Stripe account through the Perked app, with read-only access. You can disconnect at any time.
• Commission is worked out from your Stripe data and your program settings. Check payout reports before you pay. You are responsible for what you pay, and for paying your affiliates.
• Your affiliate terms are between you and your affiliates. You decide who joins, their rates and their payouts.
• You are responsible for your program, your marketing and your products, and for telling your customers in your privacy policy that you use Perked.
• If you use a custom domain, you must control it.

4. Affiliates

• Your relationship is with each program owner, under that owner's affiliate terms. The owner, not Perked, pays your commission.
• Owners can approve, suspend or remove you, change rates for future referrals, and void referrals that break their terms.
• Promote honestly. No spam, fake or self-made referrals, misleading claims, or bidding on an owner's brand where their terms forbid it.

5. Businesses and perks

• A perk is offered by the business, not by the program owner or Perked. The business funds it and must honour valid vouchers on the terms it set.
• Each owner approves perks before they show next to their program, and can pull them at any time. We can remove any perk.
• Perks must be lawful. Don't offer free or discounted alcohol, or anything else that breaks your state's liquor, gambling or consumer laws.
• Keep your business PIN private. Redemptions made with your PIN count as yours.

6. Fees

Affiliates and businesses offering perks use Perked free. Program owners currently use it free. We will give owners at least 30 days' notice by email before any fee starts, and you can close your program before then.

7. Acceptable use

Don't use Perked to:

• break the law, or send spam or unwanted messages;
• mislead people, or create fake clicks, sign-ups or referrals;
• collect other people's information without permission;
• interfere with Perked, test its security without our written permission, or scrape it.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of what you put into Perked, such as logos, perks, program details and promotional material. You let us store, process and display it to run Perked, including on public pages and in the directory where your settings allow.

9. Availability and changes

We work to keep Perked running and accurate, but it may sometimes be unavailable or have errors. We may change or stop features. If we close Perked, we will give at least 30 days' notice so owners can export their records.

10. Suspension and closing

You can close your account at any time by emailing info@perked.com.au. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk. Where it's reasonable, we will tell you first.

11. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for losses caused by owners, affiliates, businesses or customers, including unpaid commission or unhonoured perks. Where our liability can be limited, it is limited to supplying the service again or A$100, whichever is less.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will tell account holders by email or in Perked at least 14 days before it applies. Continuing to use Perked after that means you accept the change.

13. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, and disputes go to its courts.
