The Helium 10 Epic Affiliate Incentives Program (the “Epic Bonus Program”) is an incentive reward program for Helium 10 Affiliates who attain tiered quantities of Qualifying Buyers in each month. Qualifying Affiliates can receive tiered incentive rewards as described in the “Bonus Tiers” section below for each month they are qualified.
Here are the details:
A. TERM
The Epic Program began on September 1, 2024 (“Effective Date”) and will affect all tiers and payout beginning November 1, 2024 and will continue month-to-month until Helium 10, at its sole and absolute discretion, terminates the Epic Program by providing written notice to its Affiliates via e-mail. These updated terms are effective as of the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”) and supersede all prior terms associated with the Epic Program. The Previous Epic Program ended August 31, 2024.
Qualifying Affiliates will be subject to the updated Bonus Tiers (as defined in Appendix A) described herein for all bonus amounts payable on or after the Effective Date. Qualifying Affiliates are paid based on meeting the Bonus Tier two months prior. For example, a Qualifying Affiliate will be eligible to receive the Monthly Rate or One-Time Bonus (as defined in Appendix A) incentive in December 2024, applying the Bonus Tiers described herein, based on the number of Qualifying Subscriptions and/or New Subscriptions in November 2024.
B. QUALIFYING Subscription
A “Qualifying Subscription” is one which:
1. (1) An existing customer which was previously recruited by the qualifying Affiliate; and; (2) paid Helium 10 a minimum of $50.00 in the qualifying month.
Ex. Qualifying Subscription quantity in January is eligible for incentive in March.
C. New Subscription
A “New Subscription” is one which:
(1) A new customer recruited by the qualifying Affiliate in each month; and
(2) paid Helium 10 a minimum of $50.00 in the month
The New Subscription count is specific to each month and does not carry over. For example, new subscriptions obtained in February 2025
*PLEASE REFER TO THE BONUS TIERS DESCRIBED IN APPENDIX A*
Qualifying Affiliates may reach one of 10 bonus tiers (contained within APPENDIX A)
D. QUALIFYING FOR TIERS
("Tiers”) based on the total number of Qualifying Subscriptions and New Subscriptions of such Affiliate in the month. Qualifying for a tier does not lock in and/or guarantee an Affiliate that they will remain in the tier the following month. Both conditions, Qualifying Subscriptions and New Subscriptions, must be met to have the specific rate or bonus to pay.
F. PAYOUT DETERMINATION
Upon HELIUM 10’s determination that an Affiliate has complied with all of the terms set forth herein for a given month, the Affiliate will be deemed a “Qualifying Affiliate” for such month and will receive any applicable cash payment in the second month from the month in which the Affiliate meet is determined to be a Qualifying Affiliate (subject to the Affiliate’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth herein). As an example, only, with respect to an Affiliate’s eligibility in January, HELIUM 10 will decide with respect to such eligibility by the end of February, and the Qualifying
Affiliates will be entitled to receive any applicable rewards payment in March, so long as all other terms herein are satisfied.
This program shall continue unless HELIUM 10 (i) terminates its relationship with the Qualifying Affiliate, (ii) terminates the Epic Program, or (iii) determines that such person is otherwise ineligible pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
If a Qualifying Affiliate loses his or her eligibility for the Epic Program in any month, the Affiliate may re-qualify in a subsequent month upon compliance with all the provisions and terms and conditions set forth herein. For clarity, such re-qualification will not make a Qualifying Affiliate eligible to receive any one-time bonus reward previously achieved by such Qualifying Affiliate.
As noted above, HELIUM 10 may terminate the Epic Program at any time by providing written notice to any affected Affiliates, which may be by e-mail to the addresses HELIUM 10 has on file. The month in which such termination notice is sent to Affiliates will be the final month of the Epic Program.
All determinations regarding an Affiliate’s eligibility for the Epic Program and satisfaction of the requirements set forth herein shall be made by HELIUM 10 in its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final and binding on Affiliates.
