Our affiliate program is powered by UpPromote, and you will be bound by their terms of service, as well as our program terms and conditions in this agreement.

Introduction

The following document (referred to as "affiliate program agreement", "terms", or "terms and conditions") applies to our affiliate program and affiliate portal (collectively, referred to as "affiliate program", "services", or "program"); which are provided to you by Paxxi, (referred to herein as "Paxxi", "paxxi.com", "we" or "us").

Acceptance

Paxxi is a privately owned U.S. entity, legally doing business in the State of Florida. The terms and conditions herein constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Paxxi. This agreement puts across your rights and responsibilities when you use our affiliate program, so please read it carefully. By using our affiliate program, you agree to the terms and conditions described herein, in addition to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, then you may not use our affiliate program.

Registration

To use the program, you must provide Paxxi with truthful, accurate, and complete registration information, including information concerning all affiliate advertising mediums you intend to use. If any such information changes, you must immediately contact Paxxi to update your registration information. We may ask for more information after the initial registration process, and it is the affiliate's responsibility to provide such information in a timely manner, not exceeding one week from the time of the request.

Multiple Accounts

Affiliates may not create multiple accounts on the platform. For example, an affiliate may not purchase products on behalf of others using more than one account on the platform. Leveraging multiple accounts may result in the suspension of any and all accounts used by the affiliate, in addition to forfeiting any earnings.

Valid Information

Affiliate agrees to maintain and provide Paxxi with valid information about the affiliate and the affiliate's promotional methods, including account and contact information, affiliate mediums to be used, and URLs used by the affiliate. Paxxi has the right to confirm and check the truth and accuracy of any registration information at any time. Please note that the verification of your registration information, specifically your name, address, and tax identification number, against third-party database(s), may be considered under certain laws to constitute a "credit check," and you hereby consent to any such verification process. Participation in the services does not depend on your creditworthiness or financial stability. If any registration information is determined by Paxxi to be missing, misleading, inaccurate, or untruthful, or in any way negatively impacts Paxxi, Paxxi may (i) suspend or terminate your account and your access and use of the services, platform, and site; (ii) revise the terms of any agreement (for example, to disable and deny payment in connection with certain affiliate mediums or URLs); and (iii) claw back any benefits derived from your participation in any program, including the withholding or forfeiture (in whole or in part) of any affiliate earnings.
