The Affiliate authorizes NETILUM to place his/her site into one or more of the categories defined by NETILUM and to transmit a list of Affiliate sites geared to the categories requested by an Advertiser.

In the absence of sufficient proof or if fraud is confirmed, Affilae reserves the right to terminate the affected partnerships and take any appropriate measures, including the removal of the Affiliate from the platform.
2.5 Affiliate payments
The Affiliate acknowledges that by joining an Advertiser’s Affiliate Program, the Advertiser is solely responsible for the commissions generated and definitively validated through its Affiliate Program.
Consequently, the Affiliate acknowledges that NETILUM does not act as an intermediary or agent in the payment of affiliate commissions.
Affiliates are informed that NETILUM can benefit from a power of attorney granted by the Advertiser. In this case, it acts on behalf of the latter in its capacity as “paying agent”, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 93-122 of 29 January 1993.
NETILUM will provide evidence of this power of attorney to the Affiliate by producing a POA certificate at the Affiliate’s first request. The Affiliate authorizes NETILUM to generate on its behalf the invoices of its commissions definitively validated in “Auto-billing”, and as such, it is specified that the Affiliate retains full responsibility for its invoicing obligations. The Auto-Billing process is based on the Affiliate’s complete contact information entered in the configuration of its AFFILAE account.
It is therefore the Affiliate’s responsibility to ensure that these details are complete and up to date with any changes.
The Affiliate will send its invoices directly to NETILUM to which payment has been entrusted. It will also report to the latter on the conditions in which the dissemination of the affiliate program took place. The affiliate undertakes to accept any payment from NETILUM, even partial, made on behalf of the Advertiser.
The latter will be released from the Advertiser’s undertaking. In any case, NETILUM, acting in its capacity as agent, cannot under any circumstances be required to pay the Affiliate’s invoices, which is the responsibility of the Advertiser.
It is specified that in the event of an error in the calculation or payment of commissions, including in the case of overpayment or commissions paid in error, the Affiliate agrees to immediately inform NETILUM of any detected anomalies.
NETILUM reserves the right to correct any errors related to commissions, including by requesting the reimbursement of amounts unduly received by the Affiliate.
The Affiliate agrees to return to NETILUM, as soon as possible after the request, any amounts unduly paid.
In the event of non-repayment within the allotted time, NETILUM reserves the right to offset these amounts against future commissions owed to the Affiliate.
3 Specific Conditions: Advertisers
3.1 Duration
Membership allows access to the Affiliate Marketing Software for a period of one (1) month from confirmation of membership. The Advertiser’s commitment shall subsequently be renewed automatically for new periods of one (1) month, in the absence of termination of the membership carried out by the Advertiser in his/her personal space. The Advertiser’s termination of membership ends the membership as of the start of the following contract term. This termination forbids any pursuit or maintenance of services offered by NETILUM.
3.2 Price
The Advertiser benefits from a free trial period of 20 days from the first registration to the AFFILAE affiliate Software. Beyond this trial period, membership of the Affiliate Software is chargeable. The Advertiser subscribes to one of the offers offered by NETILUM on its website on the day of joining. At the end of the trial period, the Advertiser proceeds to the payment of the offer to which he has subscribed. Payment is made directly online by credit card or recurring direct debit via a secure network. NETILUM reserves the right to automatically modify the prices of subscriptions at any time. However, all orders are billed at the price in force on the day of the order. f one of the monthly quotas provided for in the offer subscribed to by the Advertiser is exceeded, NETILUM will charge fees on the additional quotas generated. The details of these fees are public and available on the details of NETILUM’s service offers on the following page: https://affilae.com/en/compare-our-solutions/ It should be noted that, if the Advertiser does not validate the subscription for the AFFILAE service at the end of the free trial period, NETILUM will automatically freeze access to the advertiser’s account. The user can log in to its AFFILAE account but will be redirected to a subscription page. Partnerships formed during the 20-day free trial period are deactivated in order to avoid any misunderstanding regarding the continuation of affiliate program activities with the Affiliates. For these reasons, the tracking of conversions, clicks, and impressions are also stopped. The Advertiser is notified in advance by email of the trial period end date and asked to subscribe to avoid its account being frozen. If the advertiser activates its subscription a posteriori, the account, partnerships, and trackings will be reactivated.
3.3 Payment/Interest
The Advertiser’s commitment is billed at the beginning of the month, under any and all circumstances. The bills are payable in advance, within 15 days of the date of issue, via the method of payment selected by the Advertiser upon initiating membership. The billing address is that of the Advertiser’s headquarters. Services not included in the Affiliate Marketing Software are excluded from the subscription bill and will be billed separately. In the event of non-payment by the due date, penalties shall be applied, which shall be equal to the interest rate of the Central European Bank in its most recent refinancing operation, augmented by 10 percentage points, starting from the day following the settlement date appearing on the bill, or, failing that, from the 31st day following the date of the end of the execution of the provision of service. Late penalties are payable without any reminder required. Pursuant to Article D. 441-5 of the Code of Commerce, in the event of a delay in payment, the debtor shall be fully liable to the creditor, aside from the lateness penalties already provided for under the law, for a lump sum of 40 euros for collection fees. The failure to pay a bill causes the outstanding amount billed to be immediately due to NETILUM. Therefore, NETILUM reserves the right to deactivate any Advertiser account that falls into a state of non-payment. No refund or credit can be granted by NETILUM on the amount of current, payable subscriptions. The account deactivated is then frozen, the partnerships formed during the period of activity are deactivated in order to avoid any misunderstanding on the continuation of the affiliation program with the Affiliates. In the case of the advertiser activates his subscription again afterwards, partnerships will have to be reactivated manually.
3.4 Creation of an Affiliate Marketing Program
The Advertiser shall define his/her Affiliate Marketing Program on his/her personal space and is responsible for the design, uploading, and termination thereof. He/she sets the amount of the commissions to be paid to the Affiliate and the methods of payment. The uploading of the Affiliate Marketing Program takes effect as of the validation carried out by the Advertiser. NETILUM reserves the right to access the Advertiser’s personal space for the purpose of verifying its proper functioning, as well as the validity and in particular the conformity of the present terms with the information transmitted by the Affiliate Marketing Program.
3.5 Obligations of the Advertiser
Any and all modifications of the Advertiser’s site, its hosting arrangement, or any other matter might be brought to the attention of NETILUM.

3.6 Payment of commissions due to affiliates
The Advertiser undertakes to pay the amounts due to Affiliates and NETILUM. The advertiser can grant NETILUM a power of attorney, within the meaning of the provisions of law No. 93-122 of 29 January 1993, to act in its name and on its behalf with the purpose of paying the commissions due to the Affiliates under the Affiliation Programme. This power of attorney will be granted to NETILUM only when the Advertiser activates the option “paying agent” in its personal account. A power of attorney compliant with legal provisions and a POA certificate will be issued to allow NETILUM to prove its capacity to its Affiliates. The Advertiser acknowledges that it is the sole debtor of invoices issued by the Affiliate and undertakes to hold NETILUM harmless if any order is handed down against it due to failure to pay an Affiliate invoice.
