Cookie tracking mechanism is used by our affiliate program to track and recognize sales made through a particular affiliate URL. Simply stated, the cookies remember which affiliate's URL was clicked by the visitor. On completion of a sale, these cookies tell us whom we should pay.
The tracking cookie is active for a period of 3 months or 30 days. This means that all the sales made within these 90 days of referring a customer would earn a commission as per the commission slab.
Top affiliates would be chosen on a monthly basis and the selection criteria would depend upon a number of factors, including but not limited to direct sales generated (revenue earned), traffic volume (clicks generated) and amount of active involvement in overall promotional activities like social media promotion, prominent display of our banner on your site, posting a blog about our services, placement of banners & ads etc.
Each affiliate URL will have social media buttons which will be used for measuring your social media traction and this in turn may be used to consider you for special benefits.

Responsibilities of Affiliates
Affiliates will advertise ABACO Hosting products and services to existing and prospective customers, which may include friends, family etc. while complying with all the email marketing laws and anti-spam laws. However, this does not prohibit them in any way from sending transactional or relationship messages.
Affiliates should not abuse the affiliate program by purchasing products for themselves as they will not be eligible for earning commissions on such sales.
As an affiliate, you will sell all products of ABACO Hosting. The products include:
Web hosting
Reseller hosting
VPS Hosting
SSL Certificates.
Your product list will automatically include all the products that are launched in future.
Affiliates will be responsible for ensuring that all payee information is up to date in the affiliate system. ABACO Hosting will not be responsible for any lost or stolen payment. A penalty will be deducted from the affiliate earnings in case of reissuance of payment.
Affiliates are required to ensure that their PayPal account can accept payments from companies.
Affiliates will be responsible for any and all fees, taxes, exchange rates, surcharges and other expenses incurred at the time of payment of commissions. Please find out through your PayPal if any of these are applicable on your account.
Affiliates are responsible for ensuring that their tracking code is working properly before sending traffic to our servers. Any modification to the links is the sole responsibility of the affiliate – commissions will not be paid for tracking errors caused by editing, masking or tampering with their links.
Affiliate Relationship
This affiliate relationship is one of independent contractors. ABACO Hosting will not be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages arising in relation to this program and our aggregate liability arising with respect to this program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to affiliates.
ABACO Hosting makes no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the program. In addition, ABACO Hosting makes no representation that the operation of the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, and ABACO Hosting will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
Affiliate Status Revocation
Affiliate application and status in the program may be suspended or terminated without any warning or notice and commissions would be set to USD 0 for any of the reasons mentioned below:
Advertising on sites containing/promoting illegal activities
Inappropriate or misleading advertisements (false claims, misleading hyperlinks)
Violation of intellectual property rights
Illegal spamming (mass email, mass newsgroup posting, etc.)
Affiliate accounts generating a large number of fraudulent accounts.
Affiliate Links
Affiliates may use graphic and text links or both on their website and in emails. The site may also be advertised "offline" in classified ads, magazines, and newspapers. You may use the graphics and text provided to you by us, or you may create your own as long as they are deemed appropriate according to the conditions above.
Advertising Compliance
Affiliates shall not offer cash back, rewards or incentives.
Affiliates may use the approved banners and ad text code found in the affiliate control panel.
Affiliates shall not use cookie stuffing techniques that set the tracking cookie without the user actually clicking on the referral link (for example a 1×1 pixel iframe).
The use of redirected pages and links to send a user to our site is prohibited. Example: you should not have a PPC link on a search engine that redirects the user to our site.
Domain forwarding is prohibited – you may not purchase a domain and set it to forward directly to our site using your affiliate link.
Affiliates shall not copy our website or portions of it and display them on their own site or subdomain.
Payment
Affiliate commissions will be paid each month after a lapse of first 30 days following the sale i.e. the customer should stay active for 30 days. Further, the registered account needs to be active at the time of payment being made and the minimum earned commission must reach a threshold level i.e. USD 50. before the payment is made. For example, if you make two sales in January, the total commission would be transferred to your account in March (after 30 days which is the holding period) and if your total commission crosses USD 50. In affiliate control panel, once you withdraw your commission after being approved for payment, your status will change to paid.
The offline payments / third party transfer or any method that moves the affiliate to third party site for payment are not traceable and thus affiliates will not receive commission on the untraceable orders.
In case a sale was made from your website and it is not tracked by the system, then you should contact us in two days with the following information: Order ID, Date of Sale and Sale Amount. We will try to resolve this issue mutually and as fast as possible.
In order to receive commissions, affiliates need to submit ID proof along with address proof.
Affiliates can choose to receive commission payments via PayPal. For larger affiliates with balances of over USD 1,000/- per month we offer Wire Transfer. To setup your preferred payment method, log in to your affiliate control panel and click on the profile button.
If a coupon/promo/discount is applied by a customer during making a purchase, then the total commission for that sale would be reduced in proportion to the discount earned.
Affiliates are eligible for commission only on new account sign-ups. A new account sign-up means that the person signing up for the account should not be a registered customer of ABACO Hosting and should not hold any previous account with us. A customer who is registered with us is considered as our existing customer and hence an affiliate will not be eligible for commission.
Reversals:
Referrals must have an active hosting account for 30 consecutive days or commissions will be reversed.
Referrals that downgrade their hosting package below 1 year will be reversed.
Referrals that are found to be fraudulent (false information, fake/stolen credit cards etc.) will be reversed regardless of the amount of time that has passed since the signup occurred.
Referrals that issue a credit card charge back will be reversed.
Referrals that cancel before you have met the minimum payout of USD 50 will be reversed.
ABACO Hosting Trademark & Copyright

Affiliate Tracking
Whenever a web surfer clicks through your affiliate link, a cookie is set in their browser that contains your affiliate username. Also, their IP address is tracked in the database along with your affiliate name. When this person decides to buy a product, the script will look for this cookie and/or try to match their IP address to identify the affiliate who will be awarded the commission. Visitors sent through your affiliate link may make a purchase later in time and the commission will still be awarded if the cookie is present in their browser and/or they are using the same IP address as the one logged in the database.
The tracking cookie is active for a period of 30 days. This means that all the sales made within these 30 days of referring a customer would earn a commission as per the commission slab.

We do not make any expressed or implied warranties with respect to the affiliate program and/or products sold at this site.
