Affiliate and Partner Terms Starpolar®

1. Scope

These Affiliate and Partner Terms apply when you distribute Starpolar affiliate links, referral links, discount codes, QR codes, campaigns, or similar partner materials, unless we have agreed different terms with you in writing.

Your contracting party is Gabriel Battlogg, trading as Starpolar, Jägerstrasse 13b, 6923 Lauterach, Austria (sole proprietorship).

These terms do not create employment, agency, franchise, or representative status. You act independently and are responsible for your own taxes, disclosures, and legal obligations.

The program is intended for partners acting for commercial or professional purposes. If mandatory consumer law nevertheless applies to a particular participant, those mandatory rights remain unaffected.

2. Campaign Setup

Affiliate participation, commission rate, campaign name, eligible code or link, territory, duration, cap, payout method, and any special conditions are set by our written agreement, message, or campaign confirmation. If no commission is expressly agreed, no commission is owed.

Starpolar may suspend, limit, or end a campaign where this is necessary for security, fraud prevention, store compliance, legal reasons, or misuse prevention.

3. Attribution

For internal commission attribution, the first valid affiliate code or affiliate link saved for a Starpolar user account generally applies. Later affiliate codes or links used by the same user do not create a new commission attribution, even if Apple or Google separately allow a store offer, offer code, or promo code to be redeemed.

Giveaways, beta rewards, group or organization access, manually granted Plus access, and other non-affiliate benefits are separate from affiliate attribution and do not by themselves create commission claims.

4. Commission Eligibility

Commissions are calculated only on verified, paid, non-refunded Starpolar Plus purchases or renewals that are attributed to your campaign and fall within the agreed commission scope. Free trials, unpaid periods, refunded payments, chargebacks, voided transactions, fraudulent activity, test purchases, and internally granted access do not create payable commission unless we expressly agree otherwise.

Commission status may be pending, approved, paid, voided, or otherwise marked in our internal systems. A pending commission is not payable until it has been reviewed and approved.

5. Payouts

Payout timing, minimum payout amount, currency, payment method, invoices, tax information, and verification requirements may be defined separately. We may withhold payout until required payout details, tax information, invoice information, or abuse checks are complete.

If a purchase is refunded, charged back, reversed, or found to be fraudulent, related commissions may be voided or offset against future payouts. Commissions already marked as paid are not automatically changed unless required by law, fraud investigation, or our written agreement.

6. Promotion Rules

You must present Starpolar honestly and must not make misleading statements about features, prices, discounts, health outcomes, finance outcomes, availability, or store eligibility. You must not imply that you are an employee, official representative, or agent of Starpolar unless we have expressly authorized this in writing.

You are responsible for marking paid cooperation, affiliate links, referral links, ads, or similar commercial communication clearly and legally, including labels such as ad, advertisement, affiliate link, or equivalent wording required in your country or platform.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You must not use self-referrals, fake accounts, misleading traffic, bots, automated redemptions, coupon scraping, spam, unauthorized brand bidding, impersonation, hidden redirects, malware, or any method that manipulates attribution, store flows, subscriptions, or user consent.

You must not target people with unlawful, harmful, discriminatory, deceptive, or unsafe content, and you must not promote Starpolar in contexts that damage the Starpolar brand or violate platform rules.

8. Data and Reporting

Reporting may be based on our internal attribution and subscription records. We generally provide aggregated or pseudonymous campaign and commission information, not directly identifying user data, unless disclosure is legally required or separately agreed with suitable safeguards.

Partner reporting may differ from App Store or Google Play reporting because stores, refunds, renewal timing, attribution windows, eligibility rules, and internal review can affect commission status.

9. Partner Warranties and Campaign Availability

You confirm that you have authority to enter the campaign, that your promotion complies with applicable advertising, consumer, platform, tax, and data-protection rules, and that materials you create do not infringe third-party rights. Starpolar grants a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use approved campaign materials only for the agreed campaign.

We do not guarantee traffic, conversions, commission volume, or uninterrupted reporting. Approved commission and payment obligations remain enforceable despite a reporting interruption.

10. Changes and Termination

Either party may end an open-ended campaign on 14 days' written notice unless the campaign confirmation states another notice period. Either party may terminate immediately for a material breach, fraud, unlawful conduct, serious brand or security risk, insolvency, or another important reason that makes continuation unreasonable.

Material term changes apply prospectively for valid product, store, security, abuse-prevention, or legal reasons. We give reasonable advance notice where practicable. You may terminate before a material change takes effect. On termination, you must stop using campaign materials. Properly approved commissions accrued before termination remain payable, subject to refunds, chargebacks, fraud checks, and agreed payout thresholds.

11. Proportionate Indemnification

Each party will indemnify the other against a third-party claim only to the extent the claim was caused by that party's culpable breach of applicable law, confidentiality or data-protection duties, or third-party intellectual-property rights. For partners, this includes unauthorized claims, creative materials, targeting, or placement under their control.

No indemnification is owed to the extent the other party caused or increased the claim. The protected party must give prompt notice, reasonable cooperation, and control of the defence where legally possible. No settlement may impose an admission or non-monetary duty on the protected party without its consent. Mandatory limits on indemnification remain unaffected.

12. Limitation of Liability

Nothing excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, death or personal injury, product liability, payment obligations, or any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

For business partners and to the extent permitted by law, liability for slight negligence is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this agreement and arising from breach of an essential contractual duty. Neither party is responsible for damage caused solely by circumstances outside its reasonable control.

13. Governing Law, Courts, and Disputes

These terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict of law rules. For business partners, the competent court at Starpolar's business seat in Austria has exclusive jurisdiction to the extent legally effective. Any mandatory consumer jurisdiction and protection remain unaffected.

These terms require no mandatory arbitration and contain no class-action or collective-redress waiver. Before filing a claim, the parties should first attempt a good-faith written resolution; this does not suspend statutory limitation periods or restrict urgent court relief.
