Cactus Language Affiliate Terms and Conditions:

  1. Anyone with a website in any country worldwide can apply to be a Cactus Language Affiliate (Affiliates must usually have a website to participate in the scheme. If you do not have a website but still want to refer lots of your friends, colleagues or students to us, please e-mail us).
  2. After applying you will receive email confirmation that you have been accepted as an affiliate. You can then login and create your custom homepage which you must link to from your own website using one of the Cactus Language banners or text links. This enables us to track client orders and bookings coming in via the link on your website using the unique Affiliate id contained in the URL (website address). You can also use the text link in your e-mail signatures to further increase sales.
  3. All tracked referrals will be logged in Cactus Language’s online reservations system in the same place as the order details of the client. (Where potential or existing clients bookmark a page reached through your Affiliate link, the referral Affiliate will be stored in a cookie on their own computer which will not expire for 24 months, although there is no way to stop a potential client deleting this cookie manually. If a client has already visited the Cactus website directly or via another affiliate, then the original cookie will have been set and the cookie from your site will not override the cookie on their own computer. Cactus accept no responsibility for situations where a client subsequently uses a different browser or computer to complete their order).
  4. We will then pay the Affiliate a 10% commission for each new booking coming in through their link. These amounts are paid on completion of the service by Cactus Language of any language course, associated accommodation and airport transfer only (please note that commission on accommodation and airport transfers is only applicable where a corresponding language course is also booked). Commission will not be paid on other products including flights, insurance, car hire, accommodation or airport transfer only bookings, gift vouchers, books, music, videos and visa service. The level of commission that will be payable is the current level at the time an order is completed (not when it is started).
  5. By logging in to the Affiliates section of our website, you will be able to monitor your Next Payment Date, your Payment Frequencies, your Current Commission Rate. We will also provide you with an online up-to-date record of the commission you have earned with details of the completed orders that have resulted from clickthroughs from your links. These details will include the Cactus Booking Order Number, the target language, destination city and country, the number of weeks of the course and the number of students, the start and end dates, the total course and accommodation price (listed separately), the total commissionable price and your total commission (paid to date, and payable in the future) will be shown. You will also be able to see records of any Pending Orders - these include orders made by one of your referrals where at least a deposit has been paid, which have not yet been completed (payments will not be made until the order is completed, as described above).
  6. Where referrals are made by e-mail, telephone or personal contact (rather than from a website link), these orders will be manually changed on our Administration System by Cactus consultants to ensure that the appropriate affiliate is logged. You will be able to check this by logging-on to the system - these orders will be displayed on the system once a deposit or full payment is made.
  7. You will also be notified by e-mail every time an order is completed, based on a referral from your website. An order will be considered to have been made once a client (language student) has finished their course, and all payments have been received from the client and paid out to suppliers (language schools or accommodation).
  8. This commission will be paid regularly by cheque or bank transfer. The method of payment, frequency of payment (from every month to every 6 months depending on volume) and rate of commission will be agreed with individual Affiliates.
  9. You are responsible for paying taxation (where applicable) on the commissions we give you. We will not deduct any tax on your behalf.
  10. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel registration at any time solely at our discretion.
  11. All disagreements arising from this agreement shall be governed according to English law, and any matters arising out if it shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
  12. Any queries about this system should be addressed to affiliates@cactuslanguage.com
