VIRTUE LABS, LLC (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "OUR", “WE” OR “US”), IS PLEASED TO OFFER YOU THE VIRTUE STYLIST REFERRAL PROGRAM (THE “PROGRAM”) IN WHICH YOU WILL RECEIVE A COMMISSION FOR THE SALE OF VIRTUE PRODUCTS THROUGH A VIRTUE PORTAL THAT IS CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU AND ASSOCIATED EXCLUSIVELY WITH YOUR BUSINESS. IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM, YOU MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU AGREE TO THEM, PLEASE INDICATE YOUR DECISION BY CLICKING ON “I AGREE”.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, INDICATE YOUR DECISION BY CLICKING ON “I DO NOT AGREE” AND YOU WILL BE RETURNED TO THE HOME PAGE OF THIS WEB SITE.

 

1.         DESCRIPTION.

 

We offer you the opportunity to receive a commission (normally set at 20% but temporarily increased to 30% during COVID closures) for any sales of Virtue products that result from your referrals. We do this by setting up a unique Virtue portal for you (the “Portal”), which will track all sales made through the Portal. You can simply refer your customers and others to your unique Portal, and any sales made will automatically result in a commission to you. Virtue will not share the names or contact information of any of your customers with anyone, and all information related to, or provided by, your customers will be protected pursuant to the terms of our Privacy Policy. We will also provide you with a dashboard (the “Dashboard”) that allows you to upload information about yourself to your Portal, track all sales made by your customers, and monitor the commissions you have earned. The Portal may also include certain content and tips from Virtue, which you may find useful.

   

2.              ACCOUNT SIGN UP AND ACCEPTANCE.

 

The first step in participating in the Program is to apply for an account (the “Account”) and be accepted by Virtue. While we hope to accept all stylists that apply for the Program, we reserve the right to reject any application for any reason. In applying for an Account with the Program, you represent that all information you provide during the Account sign up process and at any time thereafter (“Account Information”) will be true, accurate, complete, and current and that you will promptly update your Account Information as necessary such that it is, at all times, true, accurate, complete, and current. We may use all Account Information, subject to compliance with the our Privacy Policy. You will have password-protected access to your Account, and you alone are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and Account Information, and for all transactions and communications with us that occur through your Account. You represent that you are at least 18 years of age.

   

3.              PUBLISHING OF CONTENT ON YOUR PORTAL.

 

You may be able to publish certain information on your Portal to customize it. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all content and materials that you publish on your Portal (“Personalized Content”). You represent, warrant and agree that any Personalized Content you publish will not: (i) violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other personal or proprietary rights; (ii) contain libelous or defamatory material; or (iii) violate or encourage violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. You represent and warrant that you have all legal rights necessary to publish and distribute (or necessary to have us publish and distribute) any Personalized Content or that you own such Personalized Content. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we shall, at all times, possess the right to refuse to include and/or to cause the removal of any or all of your Personalized Content for any reason and at our sole discretion. You hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable royalty-free license to use your Personalized Content for the purposes of operating your Portal. You also recognize that once you publish Personalized Content on your Portal, that content enters the stream of commerce and may forever be available to third parties via the Internet.

   

4.              USE OF PORTAL CONTENT.

 

All content on the Portal that is not Personalized Content (as defined in Section 3 above), is the proprietary property of us or our licensors (the “Portal Content”). Unless otherwise stated on the Portal, Portal Content may not be modified, copied, distributed, reproduced, downloaded, displayed, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of us or the owner of such content. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Portal, any unauthorized use of the Portal Content is strictly prohibited. All trademarks, logos, trade dress and service marks on the Portal are trademarks or registered trademarks of us or our licensors and may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of us or the owner of such trademarks, logos, trade dress and service marks.

   

5.         COMMISSIONS

 

We will pay you a commission in an amount equal to 30% (for a limited time, normally 20%) of the Net Sales of all Virtue Products that occur through your Portal. “Net Sales” means that amount that we receive, less amounts received for shipping, taxes and third-party fees (e.g., credit card fees, etc.). Commissions shall be paid every (1) month to your designated payment account. Please note that the commission percentage and the frequency of payments may be changed at any time, although we presently have no intention to do so. If we refund to a customer the purchase price for any Virtue products for which you have received a commission, we reserve the right to debit the amount of the previously received commission to any amounts due you, including future commissions.

 

In order to participate in the Program, you must provide us a payment account (e.g., PayPal, etc.) to which we can deposit commissions due you. This information will be required in the Account sign up process. At our sole discretion, we may require that you provide us with proof of identification via a government-issued document (e.g., a copy of your passport, driver’s license, etc.) in order to set up your payment account. If you receive a commission deposit to your payment account, we will send you an email that informs you of the amount.

 

You must provide us with accurate and complete contact and payment information for your payment account. You must immediately notify us if any of this information changes. We will keep your payment account information secure and will not disclose the same to any third party. We reserve the right to transfer such information in connection with a sale of our company. Note that at any time if the aggregate commissions generated over the previous 90 days is less than USD $20.00, we may in our sole discretion close your Account and terminate your participation in the Program. We will provide you written notice of such termination if and when it occurs.

You agree to fully indemnify and hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, directors, agents, co-branders and other partners (collectively, the “Related Parties”) harmless, and upon our request, defend us and our Related Parties from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) concerning any claim made by any third party due to or arising out of or related to: (i) any Personalized Content that you provide; (iii) your violation of this Agreement; or (iv) your violation of any law, rule or regulation or the rights of any third party.

IN NO CASE SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF US OR ANY OF THE RELATED PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF COMMISSIONS THEN-OWED TO YOU FROM THE NET SALES OF VIRTUE PRODUCTS THROUGH THE PORTAL. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, THE LIABILITY OF US AND OUR AFFILIATES IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 

   

8.         DISCLAIMER AND TERMINATION.

 

We are not responsible or liable to you in any way as a result of any incorrect or inaccurate information you provide to us including information related to your Account or your payment account, mailing address, or email address. We may terminate the Program at any time in the event that our company is sold, or for any other reason.  WE DO NOT PROMISE OR GUARANTY THAT ANYONE WILL PURCHASE VIRTUE PRODUCTS FROM YOUR PORTAL OR THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE ANY COMMISSIONS. We may suspend or terminate your Account any time and for any reason, including without limitation any breach by you of the terms of this Agreement. Your continued participation in the Program may be subject to annual reviews of you or your business. You may terminate your participation in the Program at any time by following the procedures available via the Dashboard. If you or we suspend or terminate your participation in the Program, our obligation to pay commissions may immediately cease. Any sections of this Agreement which, by their nature, should survive the termination of this Agreement will survive including Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 

   

9.         GOVERNING LAW.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, U.S.A., without reference to conflicts of laws provisions and, as to matters affecting copyrights, trademarks and patents, by U.S. federal law. Any dispute or claim arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Raleigh, North Carolina, in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-569.1 et seq. (the “Uniform Arbitration Act”) and the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association by one (1) arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of North Carolina, without reference to rules of conflict of law or statutory rules of arbitration, to the merits of any dispute or claim. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed, reduced to judgment and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that, any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In the event that the above arbitration provision is held invalid or unenforceable, then any dispute with respect to this Agreement shall be brought and heard either in the North Carolina state courts located in Wake County, North Carolina, or the federal district court for the Eastern District of North Carolina located in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Agreement is not a contract of employment. You are solely responsible for all taxes to be paid based on your receipt of commissions. You shall indemnify us for and in respect of: any income tax, social security contributions and any other liability, deduction, contribution, assessment or claim arising from or made in connection with your receipt of commissions and payments hereunder, as well as any liability arising from any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status.
