Unless otherwise set out in the Program Dashboard, Referral Fees shall be calculated monthly and any applicable Referral Fees shall be paid to Kindful Partners by electronic payment within thirty (30) calendar days at the end of each month.

    1. Tool Restrictions: You may not use any of the following tools: Toolbar/browser extension, PPC/search Spyware, adware, parasite ware, and/or cookie stuffing.
    2. Cookies: To earn the Referral Fee, You must provide a Referred Client with an active Kindful referral link, which includes a 30-day tracking cookie. This means that if a Referred Client clicks on your referral link, then you will be credited with the referral as long as the visitor requests a demo on https://kindful.com/demo within 30 days from the time Referred Client first clicks on the referral link. If Referred Client becomes a paying Kindful customer within 1 year of submitting a demo request, Partner is eligible for the Referral Fee. If the Referred Client submits a demo request after 30 days from the time they first click on the referral link, you will not be eligible to receive a Referral Fee. To earn the Referral Fee, you must provide the following information for the Referred Client: Referred Client’s first name, Referred Client’s last name, nonprofit organization where the Referred Client is a full-time employee or volunteer or part-time employee or volunteer, and Referred Client’s phone number. The information you provide must be current and accurate. By submitting Referred Client’s information, you agree that you have received permission from the Referred Client to share their contact information with Kindful. If the Referred Client does not already exist in Kindful’s database and has not already been submitted by another Partner, you may earn a Referral Fee when the Referred Client becomes a paying Kindful customer as long as Referred Client becomes a paying Kindful customer within 1 year from the time the Partner submits the Referred Client’s information.
    3. Restriction on Trademark Use: You may not use any Kindful trademark or the terms including ‘Kindful’ in connection with keyword-triggered advertisements, including keyword, ad copy, display URL, destination URL and content networks and associated networks. You cannot use keywords associated with Kindful trademark and various misspellings, including, but not limited to, “Kindfull”, “Kindfu”, “Kindly”, “Kindfold,” “Kindfu;”, and “Kidful”. We request that the major search engines including, without limitation, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Bing, Google Adwords, Facebook and Instagram designate Kindful as a “negative broad match keyword”. Traffic generated by search engine ads from affiliates must land on the affiliate website, not any web property of Kindful (such as support.kindful.com or info.kindful.com).

Kindful does not endorse the practice of optimizing for competitor keywords within natural search results (SEO) in order to mislead users into landing, either directly or via a redirect, on the Kindful signup page. Such promotional tactics will result in automatic reversal of commissions and immediate dismissal from the Program. We do not allow the use of any PopUnder, PopOver, or SplashPage to be used as a result of traffic landing on any of our Kindful Property Pages
