This is a legal agreement between you (the “Brand Ambassador” also known as “Affiliate”) and Renewable Construction Academy (the “Company”), doing business on https://training.recoa.eu/ (collectively, the “Parties”). By submitting the online application you are agreeing that you have read and understand the terms and conditions of this agreement and that you agree to be legally responsible for each and every term and condition.
1. Definitions. Throughout this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in quotes. In addition, the following definitions apply:
a. “Advertising” or “Advertisements” means any and all banner advertisements, text links, or other solicitations provided by Company to Affiliate to promote the Company’s products or services and/or which contain a Link to the Company’s Site.
b. “Link” means a Company-provided embedded graphic, icon, or text, containing a unique hypertext pointer to the URL address for the Company Site embedded in an Advertisement, and which identifies the number of consumers that become Subscribers as a direct result of an Advertisement.
c. “Products” means all of the products offered on the Company Site, including, but not limited to, any online training programme, education, or course that the Company may offer, modify, or amend, from time-to-time.
d. “Site” means a World Wide Web site. The “Company Site” means the Company’s website located at https://training.recoa.eu/, and/or any other additional, substitute or successor Site that may be designated by the Company.
e. “Purchaser” means a person who (i) purchases the Company’s services or products directly using a Link and through such Link, successfully registers and becomes a paying member of the Company’s Products (i.e., with valid and accurate name, email address, and payment information) via the Company Site; (ii) does not obtain a refund from the Company for such purchase; and (iii) has not previously purchased the Company’s products or services (collectively, “Qualified Purchases”).
f. “Affiliate Lead” means a customer prospect who clicks on the Affiliate Link that we have made available to you via the Affiliate Dashboard.
In order for a student account to be associated with an Affiliate, they must have visited your site for the first time from that Affiliate's link. If your student visited the site previously on their own, without signing up, but returned within 30 days via an Affiliate Link, they will not end up associated with that Affiliate.
The account does not need to make any purchases, or even enrol in any products; the Link between account and Affiliate is made as soon as the account is created and persists indefinitely.
Finally, keep in mind that cookies are browser-specific, and the cookie will only be checked when the actual account is made.

The purpose of Company’s affiliate programme (the “Programme”) is to permit Affiliate to advertise and promote the Company’s products or services on Affiliate’s Site and to earn Commissions for Qualified Purchases made by Affiliate’s end users. In order to facilitate Affiliate’s advertisement of the product or services, Company may make available to Affiliate Advertisements, data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links and other linking tools, and other information in connection with the Program (“Promotional Materials”).

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Charge-back” of a Commission may occur in the following events: (i) a Purchaser receives a cash refund for the Services; (ii) a sale that is eligible for a Commission is later determined to be fraudulent, duplicate, false or otherwise unqualified by the Company; or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that a Purchaser was acquired by an Affiliate in breach of the terms of this Agreement. Company is under no obligation to provide a mechanism of appeal to Affiliate for any charge-backs.
b. In addition to all other remedies available to the Company, Company reserves the right to refuse to make any payment to Affiliate with respect to any Purchaser that the Company determines was obtained as a result of promotional efforts that were in breach of this Agreement.
