DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL CONNECTION 

As otherwise provided herein, Ambassador must include a disclaimer with all Content Ambassador shares publicly stating your “material connection” to Sprout and the fact that you have been compensated or otherwise incentivized to post the Content (e.g. the fact that your post is “sponsored by Sprout Organics” (#SproutOrganicsPartner)). Such disclosure must be made in close proximity to any statements that Ambassador makes about Sprout or Sprout’s Products and must comply with any instructions or directions provided by Sprout and all applicable laws, regulations, administrative guidelines, codes, orders and ordinances, including but not limited to the FTC Guides. This disclosure should be clear and prominent enough for customers to view it when they are reading or otherwise viewing any of the Content. Further, under no circumstances shall Ambassador obscure, delete, modify or in any way alter the required FTC approved language. In addition, the customer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure. Please note that this disclosure is required regardless of any space limitations of the medium, where the disclosure can be made via hashtags, such as #sponsored, #paid or #ad. 
 
Note that while Sprout may provide required disclosures and recommended promotional verbiage, Sprout shall not be responsible for any failure by Ambassador to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, administrative guidelines, codes, orders and ordinances or any failure by Ambassador to obtain all third party clearances and permissions with respect to Content Ambassador posts. 

If Ambassador fails to make the required disclosures, such failure shall be deemed a material breach of the terms that is not capable of cure and shall result in immediate termination, without any compensation or commissions or liability to ambassador. 
 
 
COMMISSIONS 

In consideration of the Services provided by Ambassador and the rights granted to Sprout with respect to the Content, as further provided herein, Ambassador will be compensated as follows: 

  • 15% net commission on all sales by third parties generated using your affiliate link or promo code, subject to change by the Company at any time.

Commissions will not be paid based on any sales or amounts for any reorders of customers attributed to spam, credit card fraud, unauthorized use of your affiliate link or promo code, unauthorized use of Sprout’s trademarks, copyrights, logos or other intellectual property or returned Product. If a sale is canceled or refunded for any reason, any paid commission will be deducted from the amount owed to Ambassador and any subsequent payment. Commissions are counted and final numbers are deemed final at the sole discretion and decision of Sprout. Sprout also reserves the right to change the frequency and dates of the commission payout. 

Ambassador should clearly advise followers/customers to use the Ambassador’s affiliate link or promo code to purchase Sprout Products in order for Ambassador to receive commission. While Sprout makes every reasonable effort to accurately track and pay commissions for all Ambassador sales, Sprout is not responsible nor shall be held liable for any technical difficulties, outside events, actions by other ambassadors, or other uncontrollable events that may disrupt or interfere with Sprout’s ability to track sales or pay commissions. Sprout has the right to pay commissions to any other person, at its discretion. 

Ambassador is solely responsible for any and all tax obligations, if any, due to any taxing authorities arising from or in connection with Ambassador’s commissions paid hereunder. Sprout reserves the right to withhold payment pending an investigation of suspected fraud or misrepresentation of associated commissions for orders or referrals that were obtained fraudulently or through misrepresentation. 

Ambassador will be able to track commissions and expected payout through their Dovetale platform portal. Sprout will pay out ambassador commissions on a monthly basis for each previous month’s earnings via PayPal.
