You are obliged to immediately cease promoting Kieferfreund in any way we judge as unfit. When you receive such notice (in writing or verbally), you must cease such activities immediately.

You are obliged to declare to all potential customers/visitors and on all platforms you are utilising for promotional purposes – that you are acting as an affiliate (and receiving a commission) and not as Kieferfreund/Belive Concepts GmbH itself.

You accept that the terms in our privacy policy and GTC also form part of your obligations to us. You agree that beyond the aforementioned Agreements and the KAA, you are in no other legally binding agreement with Belive Concepts GmbH.

2. Obligations of Belive Concepts GmbH/Kieferfreund

3. Commisions

Belive Concepts GmbH shall pay 15% of the purchase price (including VAT if applicable). The rate of commission is determined by the Affiliate Tier you have signed up for.

The time period for successful purchases is set to 30 days. At the end of 30 days, we will process any earnings and commissions for this period and make a payment to you within 60 business days.

Payment will be made to you via PayPal (or bank transfer if applicable). The currency of payment is Pound Sterling (£). As the affiliate, you are responsible for any fees or taxes that apply to receiving the commission payment.

In case a voucher code is used, this will affect the total price of the item and thus reduce the commission earned. Some voucher codes may not be compatible with our affiliate scheme and can result in a 0% earning of an otherwise qualifying purchase.

If you have earned less than £20 in the qualifying time frame of one month, this will roll over into the next month and be paid out to you in a given month once you have passed the threshold of £20.

Cancelled or refunded transactions will not constitute a commissionable purchase and will result in 0% commissions. If we have made payment to you for a cancelled purchase at a later date, we will deduct this from future earning in your affiliate account for the next month.
