In this Agreement, “Pipedrive” “We”, “Us” or “Our” will refer to Pipedrive Inc, (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) and the terms “They” or “You” or “Their” or “Affiliate Partner” will refer to you.
This Agreement is in addition to any terms and conditions that you may have agreed to pursuant to an agreement with PartnerStack the partner management platform, owned and operated by PartnerStack Inc. (www.partnerstack.com), which will provide infrastructure to support Program operations including tracking and reporting, Materials hosting and serve as a clearinghouse for Commission paid to Affiliate Partners. You acknowledge that Pipedrive is not a party to any agreement you may have with PartnerStack, will be in no way responsible for the performance of PartnerStack, and is neither an agent or representative of PartnerStack.
The purpose of the Program is to permit you to advertise and promote Pipedrive’s Services on your Site and to earn Commissions for Qualified Actions made by your end users. “Pipedrive Services” means the services offered on www.pipedrive.com ("Pipedrive Site") and any other products or services as Pipedrive may offer, modify, or amend, from time-to-time.
Participating in Program allows approved Affiliate Partners a revocable, limited and non-exclusive right to:
lawfully advertise and promote Pipedrive Services solely in a manner approved by Pipedrive;
lawfully post on their website or any of their social media channels (“Site(s)”) any Materials and other information provided by Pipedrive to you to promote Pipedrive's Services in connection with the Program.
lawfully embed your Tracking Links in the Materials and use approved graphical or textual Internet hyperlinks or URL (“Link”), to link to the Pipedrive Site; and
lawfully direct end users, or visitors from your Sites to Pipedrive’s Site.
Any participation in the Program is subject to Pipedrive’s approval, which may be withheld in Pipedrive’s sole discretion.
All prospective Affiliate Partners must submit an application for review to Pipedrive through the PartnerStack Platform, in order to become an approved Affiliate Partner eligible to participate in the Program. Pipedrive will notify each prospective Affiliate Partner through PartnerStack in writing, or via e-mail of their acceptance status as soon as possible after their information is reviewed. The Affiliate Partner is not authorized to participate in the Program, or to post Links to the Pipedrive website until they are notified of their approved status.
Pipedrive may, in its sole discretion, elect to suspend or terminate access to, or use of the Affiliate Program at any time and for any reason, including for anyone who violates these Terms.
When your Site visitors click through the Link(s) to take prescribed actions and/or purchase Pipedrive Services (“Qualified Actions”), Pipedrive will pay you a fee ("Commission") for each Qualified Action. The Commission and Qualified Actions required for payment are contained herein, or in the Commission Schedule in your Resources section of the PartnerStack Platform, and incorporated into this Agreement. Pipedrive reserves the right to change the definition of a Qualified Action and/or the Commissions at any time by providing notice to you either via email, or by posting a new Commission Schedule in the Resources section of the Platform.
Commissions for Qualified Actions are locked on the 7th day of the month, two (2) months after the month that the Qualified Action was generated (the "Lock Date"). Commissions for locked Qualified Actions are paid on the 13th of each month. For instance, if the event date of the Qualified Action is March 1st, the commission for that Qualified Action will lock on May 7th and be paid to you on May 13th.
Although PartnerStack may track and calculate the Qualified Actions in accordance with the Program, determination of whether the lead submission has resulted in a Qualified Action shall be made by Pipedrive in its sole discretion.
Prior to the Lock Date, Pipedrive reserves the right to adjust the Commission payable to you for any reason, including but not limited to the extent of any reporting errors, Charge-backs, fraudulent sales or intentional manipulations of the signup or sale process, or as required for business reasons, all as determined in our reasonable, good faith discretion.
Commissions will be paid by Pipedrive to PartnerStack and PartnerStack shall process and distribute commissions, less fees, in accordance with your PartnerStack Terms of Use.
For the purposes of this Agreement, a "Charge-back" of a Commission may occur in the following events:
a Qualified Actions receives a cash refund for the Services;
a Qualified Action that is eligible for a Commission is later determined to be fraudulent, duplicate, false or otherwise unqualified by Pipedrive; or
Pipedrive, in its sole discretion, determines that a Qualified Action was acquired by an Affiliate in breach of the terms of this Agreement. We are under no obligation to provide a mechanism of appeal to an Affiliate for any Charge-backs.
If fraud is detected, your account will be made inactive pending further investigation. In addition, in the event that you have already received payment for fraudulent activities, Pipedrive reserves the right to seek credit, remedy from future earnings or to demand reimbursement from you.
Other than the payment of the Commission outlined in the applicable Commission Schedule, Affiliate Partner shall have no claims to any additional compensation, commissions or business derived by or through Qualified Actions.
In addition to all other remedies available to us, we reserve the right to refuse to make any payment to you with respect to any Qualified Action that Pipedrive determines was obtained as a result of promotional efforts that were in breach of this Agreement.
Affiliate Partner is solely responsible for payment of any associated taxes, or similar charges required by applicable law on the Commissions paid to You.

17.2 In the interest of resolving any disputes that arise between you and Pipedrive in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Pipedrive agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with the Affiliate Partner Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration, as further specified below:
a. Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of your Partner account. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU AND PIPEDRIVE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
b. Notwithstanding the contents of Section 17.2.a above, you and Pipedrive agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to (i) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (ii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iii) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
c. Any arbitration between you and Pipedrive will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively herein, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (herein “AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Pipedrive.
d. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that Pipedrive does not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (herein “Notice”). Pipedrive’s address for Notice is set forth in the preamble of the Affiliate Partner Agreement. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (herein “Demand”). You and Pipedrive agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if no such resolution is reached within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Pipedrive may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Pipedrive shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
e. Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with the Affiliate Partner Agreement, each party will be responsible for its own expenses and the payment of any fees to AAA or the arbitrator shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the State of New York, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Pipedrive for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
f. No Class Actions. YOU AND PIPEDRIVE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Pipedrive agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
g. Modifications. In the event that Pipedrive makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Pipedrive’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending Pipedrive written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Pipedrive’s address for Notice, in which case your Partner account shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.
h. Enforceability. If the entirety of this Section 17.2 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 17.2 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that such action arising out of or related to the Partner Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York City, State of New York.
By accepting this Agreement, the Affiliate Partner confirms that it has reviewed this Pipedrive Affiliate Partner Agreement and agrees to the terms and conditions stipulated therein. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, such as your employer or the company you work for, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that entity.
