This Agreement applies to each individual or entity (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) participating in the Program, which is operated by Lusha Systems, Inc. or Lusha Systems Ltd., as applicable (“Lusha,” “us,” “we,” or “our”). This Agreement complements, and hereby incorporates by this reference, Lusha’s Terms and Conditions, currently available at https://www.lusha.com/legal/terms_and_conditions-2/, as they may be updated from time to time (“Terms and Conditions”). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions and this Agreement, this Agreement will control to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
If you are a company, organization, or other entity (“Entity Affiliate”), then (a) you are solely responsible for all acts and omissions of your employees, contractors, agents, and other representatives (collectively, “Affiliate Representative(s)”), and any act or omission by an Affiliate Representative that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by you will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by you; and (b) you will make each Affiliate Representative aware of this Agreement’s provisions, as applicable to such Affiliate Representative, and you will cause each Affiliate Representative to comply with such provisions.

You are not eligible to rejoin the Program if you were previously removed from the Program by Lusha.
2. Affiliate Portal & Tracking
After signing up for the Program and being approved by Lusha as an affiliate (in its sole discretion), you will receive a unique affiliate URL that you may display on your website(s), social media page(s), and/or other applicable channel(s) (collectively, including the content contained therein, “Affiliate Channels”), in order to facilitate referrals. Use of the Affiliate Link on Affiliate Channels and referrals made through the Affiliate Link are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other guidelines we may make available to you.
When someone clicks through this URL, a cookie will be set in their browser with your affiliate ID and their IP address may also be logged with your affiliate ID.
During that visit to the Website or any later visit, when any purchase is made of applicable Lusha products and services by that entity through your unique affiliate URL, it shall be recorded based on the existence of the cookie (a “Qualifying Transaction”).
2.1. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your affiliate ID number, and password. Lusha shall have no liability in the event that any such information is shared by you with any other person or entity whatsoever.
3. Commissions
3.1. Commissions on Lusha’s products and services are paid on the specific products and services as set out from time to time on Lusha’s website, https://www.lusha.com/, (the “Website”) and at the rates as indicated from time to time on the Website.
3.2. Lusha may, in its discretion, vary the Commission levels and/or products and services upon which Commission is payable at any time by updating such information on its Website. Lusha shall pay a Commission to you based on each Qualifying Transaction (minus any processing or handling fees incurred by Lusha) that results in an actual payment received by Lusha.
3.3 Each entity that, within ninety (90) days of clicking on your Affiliate Link, subscribes to a paid plan for Lusha’s services described at https://www.lusha.com/pricing/ (each such entity, a “Customer,” and, each such paid plan, a “Subscription”), will be deemed a “Qualifying Transaction.” For each Qualifying Transaction of (a) a monthly plan, you will receive 15 percent (15%) of the revenue actually received by Lusha (excluding any applicable taxes, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, costs of collection, and the like) for the first year of the applicable Subscription, and (b) an annual plan you will receive twenty percent (20%) of the revenue actually received by Lusha (excluding any applicable taxes, refunds, chargebacks, reversals, costs of collection, and the like) for the first year of the applicable Subscription (“Commission”). As a Program participant, you will receive access to a dashboard designed to assist you in tracking clicks on your Affiliate Link, Referrals, and your eligibility for Commissions (the “Dashboard”). For clarity, Lusha is not obligated to provide any payment or compensation of any type beyond that of earned Commissions, if any. It is clarified herein that you will receive a Commission solely based on the Customer’s initial plan/package, irrespective of any subsequent upgrades made by the Customer.
3.4 Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you will not be entitled to, and Lusha will be under no obligation to pay Commissions under the following circumstances:
3.4.1. if such payment would constitute a violation of any Applicable Laws, or if we deem, in our sole discretion, that you violated any terms of this Agreement;
3.4.2. if the Customer is a past or current customer of any Lusha products and/or services at the time of such Customer’s clicking on your Affiliate Link
3.4.3. if Lusha has already been engaged in communications with the Customer at the time of such Customer’s clicking on your Affiliate Link;
3.4.4. if the entity referred does not meet the above definition of “Customer”;
3.5 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, payment of Commissions will be subject to the following limitations:
3.5.1. The right to receive Commissions for a Qualifying Transaction will cease effectively upon the earliest of: (A) the one-year anniversary of the applicable Subscription, (B) the termination of this Agreement, and (C) the termination of your participation in the Program (whether you withdraw from the Program, or we terminate your participation).
3.5.2.The Commission will be attributable only to the last Affiliate Link on which the applicable Customer clicked before purchasing the Subscription. For example, if a prospective Customer clicks on an Affiliate Link provided by Affiliate X, but then clicks on an Affiliate Link provided by Affiliate Y and purchases a Subscription, then Affiliate Y will receive the full Commission applicable to such Subscription, even if the Subscription purchase is within ninety (90) days of the date on which such Customer clicked on Affiliate X’s Affiliate Link and Affiliate X meets all other conditions set forth in this Agreement regarding Commissions. Commissions will not be split or transferred under any circumstances.
3.5.3.The Commissions owed for a Qualifying Transaction of a monthly plan will only be given for so long as the Customer consecutively pays for their monthly plan. Customers who terminate their monthly plans for any reason and purchase a monthly plan again in the future, whether through the Affiliate Link or not, shall not be considered a Qualifying Transaction and no further Commissions shall be owed to the Affiliate.
4. Payments
4.1 Commissions on Qualifying Transactions are calculated on a calendar month basis (“Commission Period”), and shall be paid to you within 45 days of the last day of the relevant Commission Period, subject always to the receipt of applicable payments relating to such Qualifying Transactions by Lusha.
There is a minimum Commission amount of $100.00. This is the minimum amount that you must earn before you will be paid Commissions.
4.2 Commissions. In any Commission Period, your Commission must exceed this amount before you will receive any sums for that period. Commissions below this minimum amount will be held until such time as the Commission equals or exceeds this amount.
4.3 There is a maximum Commission amount of $5,000.00 per Qualifying Transaction.
4.4 Customer Refunds or Chargebacks. If there is a charge-back or refund to a customer in relation to a Qualifying Transaction, no Commission payment is due to you. If a Commission has already been paid, then Lusha will, at its discretion: (i) debit your Payment Method for an amount equal to the Commission received for the particular refund, chargeback, or reversal amount, (ii) reduce or set off against any future Commissions due to you hereunder by an amount equal to the Commission received for the particular refund, chargeback, or reversal amount, or (iii) invoice you for an amount equal to the Commission received for the particular refund, chargeback, or reversal. Lusha reserves the right to, without notice, set-off against any Commissions payable to you hereunder any amount due to Lusha by you, including, without limitation, the amount of any previous Commissions paid to you in error.
