1. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION & TERMS
You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in order to complete the sign up process for an Affiliate account (“account”)
You must be 18 years of age or older to join this Program.
Each account is for use by either a single legal entity (e.g. a company or a partnership) or an individual user. We do not permit you to share your user name and password with any other person nor with multiple users on a network. Responsibility for the security of any user names and passwords issued (including those of any Invitees) rests with you.
You may not use the Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Program, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
2. REFERRAL LINKS & PROMOTION
Once you have signed up for the Program you will be provided with one or more URL links that must be used to identify you when placing a link from your site, email or other communications to the Saturn Calibration website.
This link must be converted to a TinyURL or similar link-shortening format prior to use. We can assist with this task should you have any difficulties, but it is your responsibility to ensure each such link is correctly formatted prior to use.
We may also provide graphical images that can be used within the links to promote Saturn Calibration. You may not modify these images in any way. We reserve the right to change the images at any time without notice.
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site, or content posted to social media platforms, etc, and any associated costs.
You may not use our name or graphics in any bulk email whatsoever unless we have given our advanced written consent. We may terminate the Agreement if any meaningful spam complaints naming us or our services result from your marketing activities.
You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our Services, say you are part of Saturn Calibration or express or imply any relationship between us and you or any other person or entity, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
3. REFERRAL FEES
For the sale of a product to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a link from your site, email, or other communications to the Saturn Calibration website and complete the sale within 90 days of the initial click-through. If they fail to complete a sale within those 90 days and later return without following your link, you will not earn a referral fee.
We will only pay referral fees on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. For our systems to track the referral, the visitor must have cookies enabled. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system.
The referral fee is 10% of our revenue from customers that you refer. Additionally, when you choose to convert some or all of your commissions towards store credit, we will add an additional 50% to that portion, for a total payout of 15%.
The referral fee will be credited to your Affiliate account a minimum of 31 days after the customer completes the sale. Referral fees are only earned if a customer makes a payment in full and does not return the product within 30 days, does not issue a charge-back, and no fraud is detected in regard to that sale. We may delay crediting of referral fees subject to risk analysis considerations and Anti-Money Laundering procedures.
4. PAYMENT & OTHER REWARDS
You have access to your accrued referral commissions in several ways:
- The first method is by a direct cash payment via a pre-approved app transfer. You can request a payout via this method once a month; only after the accrued referral fees total $500 or more.
- The second method is via a direct cash payment in the form of a cryptocurrency transfer. You can request a payout in a pre-approved cryptocurrency once a month; only after the accrued referral fees total $500 or more.
- While it is not a requirement to have one of our pre-approved payment app accounts or use cryptocurrency to become an Affiliate, in order to receive a cash payout of referral commissions, you must either accept at least one of these methods.
- We do not offer payment via check, credit card, cash, or any other method not mentioned here.
- The third payout method is via store credit. You can request any portion of your earned commissions be converted to store credit by emailing the Affiliate Manager, and we do not have a minimum payout amount for store credit. When you chose to use your commission as store credit, we will increase the payout amount by 50%. For example, you have earned $300 in commissions and you request a store credit for the full amount. We will credit your account for $450, which you can use towards the purchase of any item in our store. You must be logged into your member account during checkout to have access to this credit. As an additional benefit, we do allow you to earn a referral fee for yourself every time you make a purchase on the site, less any coupons, discounts, or credit used, etc.
We offer two other rewards to our Affiliates:
- After an Affiliate’s 10% in commissions has surpassed $500, they will be rewarded with a 10% coupon that they can use perpetually for every purchase they make on the site in the future, so long as they stay active and in good standing. It is entirely up to the Affiliate Manager’s discretion as to whether an Affiliate is active and in good standing.
- A final reward we offer for Affiliate participation is a store credit, up to $500, for each new Affiliate you refer to us. This reward is automatically credited to your store credit account following 90 days of our acceptance of the Affiliate you referred to us, and is based on their performance during that first 90 days. We will match their commission, up to $500, during this period and give it to you, just for referring another valuable partner to our Affiliate Program. This referral must be done via the referral form link provided in your Affiliate Dashboard. We will not pay referral fees if someone says they signed up through you but it was not tracked by our system.
A summary of referral purchases and statement of referral fees is available to you by logging into your member account and navigating to the Affiliate Dashboard.
The referral fee structure is subject to change at our discretion.
We reserve the right to disqualify referral fees earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
All fees are exclusive of all discounts, taxes, charges, levies, assessments and other fees of any kind imposed on your involvement in this Agreement and shall be the responsibility of, and payable by you.
We reserve the right to check and change commissions on the basis of orders actually paid. Any initial notifications or customer support emails (including tracking information) are not understood as a confirmation of commissions – these are only notifications, and every payment will be verified based on real transactions.
5. CUSTOMER DEFINITION
Every customer who buys a product through this program is deemed to be a customer of Saturn Calibration. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning pricing, customer orders, customer service, and services sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. Saturn Calibration is not responsible for any representations made by the Affiliate that contradict our rules, policies or operating procedures.
6. PRICING & AVAILABILITY
We will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
7. COPYRIGHTED AND TRADEMARKED MATERIAL
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your reviews, product descriptions and articles (if applicable at your site or through your social media) obey all applicable copyright, trademark, and other laws. Saturn Calibration will not be responsible if you use another party’s copyrighted or trademarked material in violation of the law.
8. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT AND PROGRAM
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party notice of termination. Notice by email, to your address on our records, is considered sufficient notice to terminate this Agreement. Saturn Calibration reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon Program termination, Saturn Calibration will pay any legitimate outstanding earnings.
9. TERMINATION
Saturn Calibration, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other Saturn Calibration service, for any reason at any time. Such termination will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Affiliate Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or accrued referral fees in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. Saturn Calibration reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site and/or social media, all links to the Saturn Calibration website and all our images and other materials provided under the Program.
10. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Agreement.
11. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
The Company and any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents of any of them, exclude all liability and responsibility for any amount or kind of loss or damage that may result to you or a third party (including without limitation, any direct, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damages, or any loss of income, profits, goodwill, data, contracts, use of money, or loss or damages arising from or connected in any way to business interruption, and whether in tort (including without limitation negligence), contract or otherwise) in connection with this Program.
If your use of material provided under this Program results in the need for servicing, repair or correction of equipment, software or data, you assume all costs thereof. The Company’s maximum aggregate liability under or in connection with these Terms, or any collateral contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise (a “Claim”), shall be limited to a sum equal to the aggregate amount which we are obliged to pay you in outstanding referral fees at the time giving rise to such Claim.
You are expected to abide by all requirements of the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). For an overview, please review https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. Specific requirements can be found here.

14. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations hereunder that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”).
A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following:
(a) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action;
(b) civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war;

(e) the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.
Our performance is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavors to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these Terms may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
15. WAIVER
If we fail, at any time to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled hereunder, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.
16. SEVERABILITY
If any of these Terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
