Affiliate Credits

Affiliate Credits are awarded when others use your affiliate code to place an order.

Earning Affiliate Credits

10% of the referred order value will be converted into Affiliate Credits, which can be used towards purchases on The ShoeTree Project or can be redeemed for cash at an accumulation amount of $500. A referred order is a completed order that has successfully utilized your unique Affiliate Code at checkout.

Affiliate Credits accumulated for each month will be credited into your ShoeTree Project account on the first day of the following month.

Spending Affiliate Credits

Affiliates will be able to spend any Affiliate Credit that have already been credited into their account by selecting to do so at Checkout.

On the last day of each month, any account holder with at least $500 in Affiliate Credits may opt to redeem them for cash. You will be responsible for any and all tax liability arising from any Affiliate Credit you accumulate under the Affiliate Rewards Programme.

Expiry

All Affiliate Credits are set to expire 6 months from their date of accreditation into your account e.g Affiliate Credits accumulated in the month of January will be credited on the 1st of February and expire on the 1st of August.

The ShoeTree Project is not obliged to give you notice about expiring or expired credits, and we are not liable for any expired credits.

Refunds

If the referred purchase for which you were awarded Affiliate Credits for is refunded, the Affiliate credits awarded to you for that purchase will become void.

If a purchase paid for in full or in part with Affiliate Credits is eligible for a refund, the portion of the purchase paid in Affiliate Credits will be refunded as Loyalty Rewards points into the original account and set to expire at the same date the original Affiliate Credits expire. If the original date has already passed, the refunded points will be valid for 7 days from the date of refund.
