3. CAMPAIGNS
New Engen’s method of operations: Participating Advertisers create and send Campaigns through the Platform located on the New Engen website, which offer Creators the opportunity to participate in Campaigns from the Advertiser. New Engen presents this information to eligible Creators via an SOW. Each SOW contains various Campaign details, including, but not limited to, a brief description of the campaign, start and end date, compensation information, and any exclusivity requirements. If accepted to the Campaign, participating Creators will receive additional information and Guidelines from New Engen via email communications and through Creator’s account in the Platform. All Creators participating in a Campaign are required to review the Creator brief corresponding to the campaign, which includes important information about the Campaign and Campaign requirements (“Creator Brief”). All Campaigns must comply with the requirements established by New Engen and the Advertiser as presented in the applicable SOW, Campaign related email correspondence, communications in the Platform and the Creator Brief (collectively referred to as the “Requirements”). By accepting and participating in a Campaign, You acknowledge and agree that You have reviewed and accept all Requirements and that You agree to strictly adhere to the Creator Brief, the Requirements and this Agreement.
Quality Control Policy: In accordance with our quality control policy, our campaign coordinator will email Creators once regarding corrections on posts. Failure to correct such posts within 6 hours after being contacted by the campaign coordinator will result in contract termination and marked “do not use” in our system.
Permanence of Content: All content created or published for any Campaign will remain publicly visible with the campaign hashtag(s) and disclosures for a period of at least 90 days after the final payment of Fees. In addition, if the Content is modified in any way beyond this time period, the required disclosure must remain intact in order to comply with FTC requirements.
Affiliate Links: Only New Engen affiliate links are permitted on Campaign blog posts and must only push to the same retailer set forth in campaign requirements. Terms and conditions regarding Affiliate Marketing Campaigns are included below.
Reporting: All links must be reported within 2 hours of Creator Content going live, and failure to timely report will result in potential payment deduction of fifty dollars ($50.00) in compensation for each day delay in submission.
During the term of this Agreement, Creator has the right to provide content services to others provided that such other engagement or performance does not: (a) interfere in any way with the timely and professional performance of the Services to New Engen; (b) require the disclosure or use of Confidential Information; and (c) conflict with any other agreements between New Engen and Creator regarding exclusivity. New Engen has no obligation to propose a Campaign to Creator and may receive content services from other Creators during the term of this Agreement.
If You do not accept the Requirements, You must immediately notify New Engen and refrain from participating in the Campaign. Noncompliance with the Statement of Work, Requirements, including but not limited to any applicable acceptance or posting dates, or this Agreement may result in Creator not being entitled to compensation, removal from the Campaign, ineligibility to participate in any future New Engen Campaigns and/or being removed from the New Engen Platform.
4. AFFILIATE MARKETING CAMPAIGNS
New Engen may offer Campaigns (“Affiliate Marketing Campaigns”) where Creators (“Affiliate Creators”) can elect to promote certain products offered by Advertisers on the Affiliate Creator’s social media accounts utilizing affiliate marketing links or referral codes (to be provided by New Engen) (an “Affiliate Link”). New Engen or a designated third party, including but not limited to Impact Affiliate Marketing, will track traffic and/or revenue generated through the Affiliate Link.
New Engen will pay Affiliate Creators a commission fee (“Commission”) based on traffic or revenue generated through such Affiliate Creator’s Affiliate Link during the term of the Affiliate Marketing Campaign and subject to adjustments for returns, chargebacks, and policy violations. The specific Commission rate for an Affiliate Marketing Campaign will be set forth in the Platform and/or Creator Brief and reflects the Affiliate Creator’s commission rate after New Engen’s share. The Commission payment may be subject to a locking period designated by the Advertiser in order to verify orders, potential cancellations, returns, and/or fraud reviews. Commissions will be calculated and approved by the Advertiser following any such locking period. Unless otherwise specified in the Creator Brief, Commissions will be paid to Creator by the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the end of any locking period.
Creators are responsible for following instructions provided by New Engen in utilizing the Affiliate Link. Failure to properly utilize the Affiliate Link may result in an inaccurate record of the traffic or revenue generated by Affiliate Creator through the Affiliate Link, and thus result in the Affiliate Creator receiving an artificially low Commission. New Engen shall not be responsible for Affiliate Creator’s incorrect usage of Affiliate Links and underpayment of Commission resulting therefrom.
Affiliate Creators must comply with any Creator Brief and Requirements provided by New Engen or the relevant Advertiser in respect to a specific Affiliate Marketing Campaign. During the term of this Agreement, Affiliate Creator has the right to provide content services to others provided that such other engagement or performance does not: (a) interfere in any way with the timely and professional performance of the Services to New Engen; (b) require the disclosure or use of Confidential Information; and (c) conflict with any other agreements between New Engen and Creator regarding exclusivity. New Engen has no obligation to propose an Affiliate Marketing Campaign to Affiliate Creator and may receive content services from other Creators during the term of this Agreement.
5. REVIEWS & APPROVALS
New Engen in its sole discretion shall determine whether Creator has complied with the Requirements and is entitled to the compensation in connection with a Campaign. Creators who do not comply with the Statement of Work, Requirements, and this Agreement will not be entitled to the compensation associated with such Campaign. Failure to submit required posts within the Campaign posting period or to make necessary edits to published posts in a timely manner may result in disqualification to participate in the Campaign and reduced or non-payment of associated compensation.
