Functioning of the system
The Nirvana Partner Network functions in every country of the world (except in certain countries stated above) and represents an internationally recognized business practice. With the below described sales monitoring system Partners get complete data on the sales made, so they can rest assured that they are paid properly for their work.
This process is absolutely automatic. All the referrals will be properly tracked.
The system uses two ways how to track sales. One is through discount codes and the other through referral links. The Partners see their personalized referral links and discount code within their Partner Network profile. The system recognizes the commission to the Partner whose discount code or referral link was used when the sale was finalized.
Sales of the Nirvana Instructor trainings through Partners’ links or on the main Nirvana webpage are subject to the Terms of Purchase one must agree to within the purchase process.
Proprietary Rights
The Partners’ Site, the Services and/or the Materials contain information that is protected by copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws, service marks, patents and/or other proprietary rights and laws (collectively, "Intellectual Property Laws”). In addition, the Content contained within the Site or other Materials is protected by Intellectual Property Laws.
The Partners agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, record, distribute or create derivative works based on the Site, the Services and/or the Materials, in whole or in part, unless authorized by the Principal, in writing, to do so.
The Partners acknowledge that the Principal owns the Marks and agree they will take no action inconsistent with such ownership. All intellectual property rights of the Principal in connection with this Agreement shall remain the exclusive property of the Principal and nothing in relation to this Agreement shall operate as a transfer of any intellectual property rights to the Partner. The Partner agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall give the Partner any right, title or interest in the Marks other than the right to use the Marks in accordance with the this Agreement.
Email Marketing Policy and promotion restrictions
The Principal assumes no liability for the Partner’s emailing policy in reference to Nirvana as this process is the sole responsibility of the Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Partner agrees not to transmit to any person or entity:
• any Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, harmful, harassing, tortuous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or is racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, or is subject to an agreement of confidentiality, or infringes upon our or any third party’s intellectual property or other rights;
• any trade secret; or
• any computer code, files or programs (for example, a computer virus) designed to interrupt, destroy, compromise the security of or limit the functionality of any device.
In addition:
• Spamming is strictly prohibited. Spam is defined for this purpose as sending an unsolicited message to any persons, entities, newsgroups, forums, e-mail lists or other groups or lists unless prior authorization has been obtained from the e-mail recipient who explicitly permits sending e-mail communication to them, or unless a business or personal relationship has already been established with the e-mail recipient.
Please report potential spam activities to info@nirvana.fitness.
• The Partner may not use false headers in e-mails or falsifying, forging or altering the origin of any e-mail in connection with Nirvana services.
• if a person or entity indicates that they do not want to receive e-mails, the Partner agrees not to send e-mails to such a person or entity. If a person initially agrees to receive e-mails, but later asks to stop receiving e-mails, the Partner must abide by that request. All GDPR standards should strictly be followed.
Partners are free to promote their links and discount codes on all channels at their disposal. Any promotion that mentions Nirvana could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort, therefore Partners should be aware that certain forms of advertising such as "spamming”, the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once are prohibited by the Principal.
IN PROMOTION THE ONLY MATERIALS THAT CAN BE USED ARE THOSE INCORPORATED IN THE NIRVANA WEBSITE AND PARTNER PROFILE. PARTNERS MAY NOT USE NIRVANA TRADEMARKED LOGOS AND APPLY THEM TO ANY KIND OF PROMOTION MATERIALS UNLESS AGREED OTHERWISE AND AUTHORIZED BY THE PRINCIPAL.
Prohibited Uses of Nirvana Logos
• Nirvana logos may not be imitated, or used as a design feature in any manner.
• Nirvana logos may not be used in a manner that would disparage or minimize Nirvana and its Products or Services.
Only original Nirvana logos that can be found in the Marketing materials section of the Partner profile can be used for promotion.
Updates
From time to time, Nirvana Partner Network servers must be disabled for updates - i.e. important security updates or software upgrades. Where possible, notice will be given of this down-time and store fronts will be kept open. An example of an update which will receive no notice is a critical security update which closes a loophole detrimental to our shoppers' security or experience.
Privacy Policy
Registration data and other personally identifiable information that we may collect is subject to the terms of
our Privacy Policy.
The Principal will use the Partner’s information for the purpose of providing information about the services of the Nirvana Partner Network, articles and news, fulfilling orders, processing any other transactions authorized or made by the Partner, informing the Partners of special offers and providing other marketing information to assist boosting Partners' sales, for tracking purposes, Website statistics tracking and for performing pay-outs.
Termination
This Agreement will begin upon Partner registration or automatically upon registration to a Nirvana Instructor training and will continue in force unless terminated hereunder.
If the Instructor’s license has expired, he/she will not have access to the Partner profile anymore so potential sales will no longer be attributed to his/her account. Outstanding commissions can still be paid out (if the 150 USD has been reached) or compensated for any Nirvana purchase, among which also the possibility to compensate for the license prolongation.
Either the Partner or the Principal may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail or email. The Partner can deactivate their affiliate status by giving written notice by email that they wish their account to be deactivated.
In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by the Partner. Upon termination the Partner loses access to his/her Partner Network profile and commissions would not be attributed anymore.
If a Partner does not wish to be an Ambassador/Instructor anymore and thus does not wish to prolong the license but still wishes to do the promotion part, the Principal may approve the downgrade of the profile just to Partner level.
If the Partner’s profile has been cancelled, outstanding commissions for current period at the time of cancellation shall be paid as stipulated as long as rules of this Agreement were not violated by the Partner in which case the Principal reserves the right to withhold payment to compensate for possible damage sustained by breach of this Agreement.
Modification
The Principal may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, including but not limited to the commission structure, at any time at its sole discretion upon written notice by email to the Partners. The Partner’s continued participation in the Nirvana Partner Network following the email notice of change indicates the Partner’s agreement to the changes.
