Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of perqe.com, the Perqe Perks Engine and embed code, the Partner Portal, and related services (together, the "Service"), operated by Perqe ("Perqe", "we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business.

1. Who these Terms apply to

• Host Partners — businesses that place the Perqe Perks Engine on their website, app, emails or portals.
• End Users — customers of Host Partners who view or claim perks.
• Visitors — anyone browsing perqe.com.

2. The Service

Perqe provides an embeddable Perks Engine that displays offers from third-party merchants and affiliate networks ("Merchants"). When an End User claims or purchases an offer, we may earn a commission from the Merchant, which we share with the Host Partner as described below.

3. Free for Host Partners

There is no setup fee, monthly fee, or minimum term. You may remove the Perks Engine and stop using the Service at any time. We may introduce optional paid features in the future, but will never charge you without your prior written agreement.

4. Revenue share and payouts

• Host Partners receive 75% of net commissions we actually receive from Merchants for conversions attributed to their SubID, unless a different rate is agreed in writing (up to 80% for larger partners).
• "Net commissions" exclude reversals, refunds, chargebacks, cancelled orders and fraudulent or invalid activity, as determined by us or the Merchant.
• Commissions become payable only once confirmed and paid to us by the Merchant or network, which may take 30–90 days.
• Payouts are issued monthly via PayPal or business check to the details you provide in the Partner Portal. We may hold balances below a minimum threshold until they exceed it.
• You are responsible for providing accurate payout and tax information (e.g. a W-9 or equivalent) and for any taxes on amounts you receive.
• We may adjust or claw back amounts paid for conversions later reversed or found invalid.

5. Tracking and attribution

Each Host Partner is assigned a SubID (business ID) that is carried in every embed and tracked link. Our records and those of the Merchant or affiliate network are the final basis for calculating commissions. You must not alter, strip or spoof SubIDs or tracking parameters.

6. Brand safety

We aim to show only non-competing, "tangent" offers relevant to your customers. You may ask us to block any Merchant or category, and we will use reasonable efforts to do so promptly. Branding settings (colors, fonts, copy, logo) you provide are used solely to style your Perks Engine.

7. Host Partner responsibilities

• Use the embed code only on properties you own or control.
• Do not generate artificial clicks, incentivize fake sign-ups, use bots, or mislead End Users about offers.
• Do not place the Perks Engine on sites with illegal, adult, hateful or otherwise objectionable content.
• Comply with applicable laws, including advertising disclosure rules (such as FTC endorsement guidelines). A short disclosure that you may earn a commission is recommended; the Perks Engine includes "Perks by Perqe" attribution.
• Keep your Partner Portal login secure; you are responsible for activity under your account.

8. Offers and Merchants

Offers are provided and fulfilled by Merchants, not by Perqe or the Host Partner. Merchants set their own prices, terms, availability and expiry. We do not guarantee any offer, product or service, and End User purchases are governed by the Merchant's own terms and privacy policy.

9. Intellectual property

We own the Service, Perks Engine, code and Perqe brand. We grant Host Partners a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to embed the Perks Engine for the purposes of these Terms. You grant us a license to display your name and logo inside your Perks Engine and, with your permission, as a customer reference.

10. Suspension and termination

Either party may end the relationship at any time. We may suspend or terminate access, and withhold unpaid commissions related to the violation, if you breach these Terms or engage in fraud. On termination, valid confirmed commissions earned before termination will be paid in the normal cycle.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee any level of earnings, uninterrupted availability, or that the Service will be error-free. Earnings estimates shown on our site are illustrative only.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Perqe will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or lost profits. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the commissions paid to you in the three months before the claim arose, or $100, whichever is greater.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Perqe against claims arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or your unlawful use of the Service.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted here and, for Host Partners, sent by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Perqe is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
