8. You may team up with people you have partnered with before on your own front-end product. You must be known in the industry as business partners. No first time partnerships allowed to qualify for prizes. You can partner for commissions however with no restrictions.

All released sales are paid weekly.
You will not be paid unless your required payment method and tax information are filled out in your affiliate account.
Your commissions are released after 37 days. (30 days + a 7 day buffer period to handle refunds in support.)
You can expect your commissions to be paid, on average, between day 37 - 42 from when the sale is made.
Some of our sales start with a trial. You would receive a sale notification for a $0 commission. When the trial ends and the referral makes an actual payment, you will receive another commission notification. If that sale is not refunded, you will get your commissions for that sale in 37-42 days.
We pay only after 2 valid sales.
If we receive a chargeback or have to refund after you have been paid, we will add a clawback to your account and retain those amounts against your current or future commissions.
All affiliates are approved, unless we specifically revoke your account for violation of these rules.
Every approved affiliate qualifies for the 20% affiliate program that pays on the schedule above.
GrooveAsia paid customers get 40% commissions.
We reserve the right to withhold commissions for fraud or anything we deem to be suspicious. * All prizes paid in CASH USD.
GAMING THE SYSTEM CLAUSE
Any affiliate that is looking to "game the system" will be banned and all commissions voided.
This will also lead to a permanent loss of your GrooveAsia Account.
You will no longer be able to promote any of the tens of thousands of vendors on GrooveSell.
Affiliate fraud is done by evil people with ideas that we can't even imagine, therefore we will not list all of the possible things nefarious affiliates do.
We also just don't want to give you ideas :)... but here are a few examples... don't do them or anything shady like them.
-Signing up for multiple accounts to later sell legacy accounts
-Signing up influencers you don't know (by filling out our signup forms with guesses as to what their personal email address is to create an account for them without their knowledge)... seriously... this happens.
-Suggesting people sign up AGAIN with a new email to get your bonus while screwing-over other affiliates that had already made the referrals.
-Pretending or misleading the public that you work for, or are an employee of, or ARE the official company.
-And so on, and so on, etc.
Be honest. Play fair to other affiliates. Not black hat stuff. Just use our promotional tools through normal sharing methods in your influence or with paid advertising and you will be rewarded greatly.
In closing, if you think you "might" be crossing the line, I can assure you it is crossing the line.
Contact us and ask first.
We would really appreciate that.
Otherwise, if you are reported to us by customers, other affiliates, or our fraud detection... well, we shoot first and ask question later.
We don't mess around with shady affiliates. Period.
If we find you playing games, we will kill your account, links, and commission owed to you by us or any other Groove Vendor and we will put your name, email, and IP on a permanent BAN list in our system.
Bad apples are not welcome.
True affiliates... We love you.
We are not focused on countries per se but more on languages.
This mean that languages like Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malay, etc will be gradually introduced.
There are people that speak these native languages that live in countries all over the world.
The same would go for any of the other proposed languages we will be working on.
We are currently developing a native speaking multi- language team to help us to transcribe all the content, this includes the videos.
As you can imagine there is quite a huge array of content and this will take some time.
At present the official release of Groove Asia is only available in English.
We will make official announcements on our websites and social media channels as we move into other languages.
At this time we only accept payments in $USD.
All affiliate payments are also made in $USD
With regards to the different currencies there are discussions but nothing formal is in place yet.
We may or may not accept different currencies in the future but either way we must ensure that the prices that are set are of the same value as the current USD price so as not to cause issues.
If an when we decide to add or except additional currencies for payments we will make a formal announcement on our websites and social media channels.
