Affiliate Agreement

The Yuvadhi Affiliate program is a marketing program wherein we pay a certain fixed commission to people who drive new customers’ sales to Yuvadhi.

Welcome to Yuvadhi’s affiliate program area for associates (the “Associates Site” ), where you can manage your affiliate marketing relationship with Yuvadhi Lifestyle LLP., (“Yuvadhi” or “us” or similar terms).

Any person or entity that participates or attempts to participate in our associate marketing program (the “Associates Program” and such person or entity, “you”, or an “Associate” ) must accept this Yuvadhi Affiliate Program Agreement (this “Agreement”) without change. By registering for or using the Associates Site, you agree to this Agreement, including the program policies (defined in Section 12), which are incorporated by reference (for example, our Associates Program Participation Requirements, Associates Program IP License, and Associates Program Trademark Guidelines, etc.). Please read them carefully.

When our customers click through the Special Links to purchase an item sold or services offered on the Yuvadhi Site or take other actions, you can receive program fees for qualifying purchases, as further described in (and subject to the limitations in) the Associates Program Fee Statement. In order to facilitate your advertisement of these items or services, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools, application program interfaces, and other information in connection with the Associates Program (“Program Content” ). Program Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to product offerings on any site other than the Yuvadhi Site.

Any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Associates Program or this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, shall be settled by arbitration governed by the provisions of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (as amended in 2015). The arbitration shall be carried out by a sole arbitrator to be appointed by mutual consent of the parties. The venue/seat of Arbitration shall be Madurai and the language of arbitration shall be English. A dispute shall be deemed to have arisen when either Party notifies the other Party in writing to that effect. In the event the parties hereunto are not able to appoint the arbitrator as mentioned above, Yuvadhi will initiate on its own proceeding of appointment of a sole arbitrator by the Hon’ble High Court at Madurai on your expense whatsoever in nature.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any other person or entity’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

We may deduct or withhold any taxes that we may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to you under the Associates Program. From time to time, we may request tax information from you. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we reserve the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) to hold your commission until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.
