8. Compliance with Laws
As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you are an Affiliate, you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions, or other requirements (collectively, “Laws”) of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those Laws are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are an Affiliate or participating in the Program, including, without limitation, during the application process. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in the Program, you will comply with all applicable federal, state or other Laws that govern marketing email, including without limitation, the e-Privacy Directive, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.
9. Commissions and Payment
Commission for Affiliates becomes due where a customer signs up for Scraper APi’s products and services using your unique Affiliate link on a bona fide, arm’s length basis and does not cancel without liability within 7 days of purchase in accordance with Scraper API’s Terms of Use (“Commission”). The percentage of the Commission is as notified to you by Scraper API from time to time in writing.
Affiliate Commissions are approved if valid on the 1st of each month, and payouts are made by the 10th if there are no issues with any of the customers that the Affiliates has referred. If there is any issue, we have the right to withhold the payment, run an investigation, and release the payment once we are satisfied with the investigation.
For any referred deals with a total of more than $2,000, we will carry out a manual human review of that payment prior to pay out. This may delay the payout date by a reasonable length of time. In those cases, we assess the active involvement of the Affiliate in working with the client to keep the subscription active. If we determine in our sole discretion that the Affiliate is not actively working with the customer to keep the subscription to Scraper API’s products and services, the Commission payments may be terminated by us without liability under this Agreement.
In case of a refund, the Commission will not be payable, and if already paid, it will be adjusted from the next payout. If there is no next payout within the next 30 days, then the Affiliate will be liable to pay back the Commission immediately. Failure to make payment of a Commission paid out in error will entitle us to terminate this Agreement and claim for damages. Scraper API also reserves the right to charge interest on owed payments to the maximum amount allowable by applicable law and engage debt collection agencies to retrieve such monies, the cost of which will be charged to you in addition to the debt and any accrued interest.
The minimum payout of Commission is $50 (Fifty US Dollars) via Paypal. Where payout is requested via ACH / wire transfer the minimum payout amount is $250 (two hundred and fifty dollars).
Affiliate Commission payouts are paid for as long as the referral is a Scraper API customer up to a total of $3,000 per client referred.
We reserve the right to remove abandoned Affiliate accounts from our system and terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if your balance is equal to or less than the minimum payout threshold, after a 6 month period of inactivity. In this case any accumulated Commissions below the minimum payout threshold will be forfeited. Abandoned Affiliate accounts are defined as any Affiliate account whose Affiliate dashboard has not been logged into for a period of 6 months and/or has no transactions posted during a period of six months.
Where you refer a customer who is a prior client of Scraper API, the payout of Commission will be subject to manual review and approval by us in our sole discretion.
Coupon / Rebate site(s) are subject to manual approval and, if accepted, earn a Commission at a % rate communicated to you by us from time to time via our marketing.
We reserve the right to withhold payments to any suspicious Affiliate, request KYC details and/or run through due diligence to ensure the Affiliate’s traffic & methods are safe for the Scraper API brand.
For the avoidance of doubt, Self-referrals will not count as a qualified “referral” and therefore will not be eligible for Commission.
Any kind of tax payable by the Affiliate on Commission is the responsibility of the Affiliate and we will not gross up any Commission in any circumstances.
In some cases, we may give credit to an Affiliate even if the customer didn’t sign up through their link. If you have a case like that, contact our Affiliate manager at rifat@scraperapi.com with the details of your referral and we will assess your case.
We reserve the right to set-off any amounts owing to us against Commission payments in cases where Commission payments have either been made erroneously or due to a misrepresentation by you. We reserve the right to counterclaim in all such circumstances.

We, in our sole and absolute discretion, have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program or any other Scraper API service for any reason at any time. Such termination will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Affiliate account and/or denial of access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or to-be-paid Commissions in your account earned or suspected to be earned through fraudulent or illegal sales or marketing methods, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods, as determined by Scraper API in its sole and absolute discretion. Scraper API reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
In addition to the foregoing, Scraper API reserves the right to terminate any Affiliate account at any time without disclosing the reason.
12. Right of Audit
Scraper API or its designees will have the right at all reasonable times to review, audit, examine, and copy the books and records of the Affiliate. If an audit should reveal that genuine referrals have been misrepresented in any report to Scraper API, then the Affiliate will immediately pay to Scraper API the amount overpaid upon demand with interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable Laws. If an audit discloses an overpayment in any report of 3% or more as a result of any Affiliate misrepresentation, the Affiliate must, in addition, reimburse Scraper API for all costs and expenses connected with the audit (including, without limitation, reasonable accounting and attorneys’ fees and costs). These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Scraper API may have at law or in equity.
