Welcome to the Horlinks Affiliate Program, where we reward your effort in promoting Horlinks to new customers. These policies explain how the program works, what is expected of affiliates, how commissions are calculated and paid, and what protections are in place to ensure fair and transparent rewards. By signing up, you agree to all the terms outlined below.
1. Commission Structure
As a Horlinks affiliate, you earn a 10% commission on every successful purchase made by a first-time customer using your unique referral link or coupon code.
How it works:
A new user clicks your referral link or enters your coupon code at checkout.
They receive a 10% discount on their first purchase.
You receive 10% commission on the total value of the qualifying order (excluding tax and shipping).
Example:
If someone makes a $50.00 purchase using your link, your commission is 10% of $50.00 = $5.00.
2. First-Time Customer Requirement
Commissions are only awarded when the referred user is a new customer (has never placed an order on Horlinks before).
Customers must use your referral link or coupon code at the time of checkout.
Referred users who are already customers are not eligible, and no commission will be granted.
3. Customer Discount Incentive
Every new customer you refer using your affiliate code or link receives:
10% OFF their first purchase.
This increases the chance of conversions and encourages users to take action.
4. Fraud Prevention & Commission Validity
To ensure the integrity of the program, Horlinks enforces strict fraud-prevention policies.
Actions that result in commission cancellation:
Self-referrals (using your own link or code to shop).
Multiple fake accounts or duplicate purchases.
Orders that are refunded, cancelled, or disputed.
Important:
Unpaid referrals are automatically voided if the original purchase is refunded.
Any paid commissions for refunded orders may be deducted from future payouts.
Commissions are credited only after we verify the order’s authenticity.
5. Tracking and Attribution
Referral Tracking:
Your unique referral link and coupon code help track user activity.
Cookies are stored for a fixed period (e.g., 30 days). If the user completes a purchase within this period, the referral is valid.
IP Address Logging (Optional):
Horlinks may log IP addresses to detect fraudulent patterns like multiple self-referrals.
Affiliates may request IP logging to be disabled for privacy reasons, but this could limit detection of suspicious activity.
6. Payout Terms and Minimum Threshold
Payout Schedule:
Commission payouts are processed on the 28th of every month.
Please ensure your payment information is set up in your affiliate account to avoid delays.
Payment Methods:
Bank Transfer (available in ₦NGN or equivalent)
Store Credit
Simply add products to your cart, and at checkout, you will see the option to apply store credit to reduce or fully cover your total.
Minimum Payout:
The minimum payout threshold is $10 USD (approx. ₦16,005 NGN).
