Client permanently and irrevocably waives any and all right to enact a ‘chargeback’ (that is, a disputed, reversed or contested charge with the applicable bank, credit card or charge card) against these payments for any reason whatsoever against HLS.

Any chargeback processed against charges for HLS will result in full and complete cancellation of all HLS Services, licenses and accounts due to the significant costs involved in administration for managing chargebacks.

We are happy to refund a purchase of our Products (excluding the three Product exceptions listed above) within the first 30 days of purchase.

24. REFERRALS

To receive a commission for referring customers to any of HLS Website you must be approved as an affiliate. See the Affiliate Agreement section of this web page.

Members of our Automated Commission Enterprise (ACE) are automatically approved as affiliates to promote our core Products. We may chose to put your commissions on “Delayed” release status in JVZoo if you have little or no sales history and/or a high refund history. This decision is at our own discretion and can be changed by us at any time. This protects everyone because refunds and chargebacks would otherwise be taken out of your PayPal account and affect your standing so we want to protect you from this.

All HLS’ Products and Services include 1 year of support and updates, we call this a “Support And Updates License”. This entitles you to 1 year of support via our helpdesk, as well as 1 year of updates to the Website and Services (this includes new features, bug fixes and compatibility updates).

26. SUPPORT PROVISIONS

COOKIE POLICY
Effective Date: May 25th 2018

This cookie policy explains how Higher Level Strategies Inc. (“HLS”, “ we ”, “us”, “ours”) use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit any and all of our websites (“Websites”). This policy section explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, HLS) are called the “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

WHY DO WE NEED COOKIES?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interest of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below:

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purpose they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Property you visit)

HOW WE USE COOKIES (2 TYPES)

We use cookies to track your use of our Websites. This enables us to understand how you use the site and track any patterns with regards how you are using our Websites. This helps us to develop and improve our Websites as well as products and / or services in response to what you might need or want.

TYPE A – SESSION COOKIES: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or

TYPE B – PERSISTENT COOKIES: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. We use persistent cookies for Google Analytics.

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

– Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when buying a product and / or service, and therefore cannot be turned off. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our Websites cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

– Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our WebsiteS. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular.

– Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our Websites to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised.

Please note that third parties that we work with (including, for example, affiliate networks, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. JVZoo.com is a good example of a third party that serves cookies for the purpose of tracking affiliate sales and referrals.

OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons ( sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an email that we have sent them.

This allows us to, for example, to monitor the traffic pattern of users from one page within our Websites to another, to deliver and communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third party website, to improve site performance, to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. Facebook.com is a good example of a third party that serves pixels for the purpose of tracking visitors and assembling custom audiences.

WE MAY SERVE YOU TARGETED ADVERTISING

We may serve cookies or pixels on your computer or mobile device to later serve advertising to you through other Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to our Websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. We may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by us using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to our sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or any third party to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you chose to provide these.

YOU CAN CONTROL COOKIES

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to still use our Website through your access or may be able to access our site to some functionality and areas of our Websites may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

COOKIE POLICY UPDATES

We may update this cookie policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore, revisit this Cookie policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

The owner of this website and the ISP are committed to complying with international trade law, international trade practices, all United States laws, including United States copyright law. Upon receipt of a properly filed complaint under the DMCA, the owner and/or the ISP of this website will block access to the allegedly infringing material. The website owner and/or the ISP will forward a copy of the notification of claimed copyright infringement to the alleged infringer. Anyone who believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has wrongfully been filed against them, may submit a counter notice to the website owner and/or the ISP.

GDPR NOTICE
Effective Date: May 25th 2018
Our Commitment to GDPR

#1 WHAT IS IT?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a European privacy law approved by the European Commission in 2016 and will go into effect May 25th 2018. The GDPR will replace a prior European Union privacy directive known as Directive 95/46/EC which has been the basis of European data protection law since 1995.

The GDPR is an attempt to strengthen, and modernize EU data protection law and enhance individual rights and freedoms, consistent with the European understanding of privacy as a fundamental human right. The GDPR regulates, among other things, how individuals and organizations may obtain, use, store, and remove personal data. In a nutshell, it’s giving EU citizens and residents control over their personal data while simplifying the regulatory environment for international business that takes place in the EU.

The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

  • Personal data collected must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way and should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
  • Personal data should only be collected to fulfill a specific purpose and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
  • Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfill its purpose.
  • People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or moved to another organization.

#2 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals’ personal data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it’s simply the right thing to do. At Higher Level Strategies, Inc. we strongly believe that your data privacy is very important and we already have solid security and privacy practices in place that go beyond the requirements of this new regulation.

#3 HLS’ COMMITMENT TO DATA PRIVACY AND GDPR COMPLIANCE

Below is an overview of what we have done or are in the process of doing to meet the new regulation requirements.

#4 COMPANY WIDE UPDATES

We have conducted a company wide review of all our current data capture, processing and storage procedures.
In addition to the new changes listed in this notice we have updated our privacy policy and our cookie policy and we have added this GDPR notice.

We have notified all of our existing users of these all policy changes so that they may review and re-accept them if they wish to continue being a customer.

#5 [DPA] DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM (DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT)

In efforts to fully comply with the GDPR we have take an in depth look at all the processes currently implemented across all our websites and tools. While HLS does in fact collect data from its visitors and its users across all of our websites we can definitively say that Higher Level Strategies Inc. does not “process data” on behalf of its customers. Since we do not process third party data a DPA is not needed.

As a product vendor we do offer tools for users and affiliates to refer new customers. In such cases the customers they refer chose to submit their own personal data, individually. Each customer is asked to agree with our terms and privacy policy accordingly. Users and affiliates do not upload third party data to any of our websites. There is also no need for a DPA for users of our plugins as we do not see any of your customer or prospect data as this is all controlled within your own website.

If you have any questions or concerns please let us know before using any of our Websites or Services..

#6 CLEAR AND CONCISE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY

At HLS we practice transparency internally and we believe that transparency extends to our customers. With our updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy we openly describe what personal data we are collecting, why, how we use it, who we share it with and how long we store it.

We have always made an effort to keep the language in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy as clear as possible and we have updated these notices to describe how we are respecting and protecting your personal data. We hope you find it concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible.

#7 CONSENT

We’ve updated our cookie policy to provide you with complete transparency into what is being set when you visit our site and how it’s being used. On our cookie policy page you can also read about steps you can take in order to control how your browser handles cookies.

We’ve implemented a cookie consent form on all of our websites. This acceptance form is displayed to all visitors until accepted. The acceptance from is displayed for all websites, so you will be required to accept our policy for each of our sites individually. We log this action and maintain a record of your acceptance, should you ever request proof in the future.

#8 DATA INVENTORY

We have reviewed and identified all the areas of Higher Level Strategies business where we are collecting and processing customer data. Using this matrix we have validated our legal basis for collecting and processing personal data and double-checked that we are apply in the appropriate security and privacy safeguards across our entire infrastructure and software ecosystem. Our Privacy Policy identifies what we are doing with the data we collect and how we manage consent.

#9 UPDATES TO OUR THIRD PARTY VENDOR CONTRACTS

We have reviewed all third party vendors which we may use for processing of your data. As per our privacy policy, no data will be sent to providers who do not conform to GDPR compliance standards.

We are working with our customers to answer any questions and address any concerns regarding how we protect their personal data in accordance with the GDPR. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

This agreement incorporates the HLS Terms and Conditions (also located on this website) herein as if it were set forth in full. Throughout this agreement, “affiliate program” refers to the affiliate program operated by HLS in part for any of our Websites.

HLS uses the JVZoo.com platform to track sales and pay affiliates. All affiliates are required to have and maintain a valid and active JVZoo.com account as well as a valid and active PayPal.com account in good standing. Affiliates are required to maintain an available balance in their PayPal account to cover the costs of any refunds that may result as part of a promotion.

If you do not provide this information you might be denied.

If you have less than 50 sales on JVZoo you may be put on delayed payment.

AFFILIATES

Each affiliate is an independent contractor of HLS and not an employee. Nothing herein is intended to create an employer/employee relationship.

INCOME TAX LIABILITIES

Each affiliate acts as an independent contractor and as such is responsible for any or all applicable income taxes, fees, and any other tax liabilities that affect or concern the sales of the products or services, in your country or location. It is the affiliate’s sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of HLS, to take any steps necessary to recover these sums under any applicable tax code and other applicable laws.

COMMISSION PAYMENTS (2 Parts)

HLS in its sole discretion reserves the right to set the Affiliate’s payment status to either delayed or instant when they apply to promote our products or at any time after they have applied.

All commissions are paid in US Dollars by PayPal, to the Paypal address that you provided inside of JVZoo, or the Paypal address you subsequently advise us of. It is your responsibility to ensure we hold an up-to-date, active Paypal email address for payments and to maintain an available balance to cover your refunds. You should always keep your JVZoo account information up to date and accurate so that instant and delayed payments processed through that system will arrive to your account promptly and securely.

PART A – DELAYED COMMISSIONS

At our discretion, you may be placed on a delayed commissions status. Delayed commissions are paid on the 15th of each month after the products 30 day refund period has elapsed. HOWEVER, if the 30th-day lands of the month AFTER the 15th, the Affiliate’s commissions will be paid out on the following month. HLS pays out delayed commissions ONCE per month. No exceptions.

We are not responsible for paying interest to affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered commission payments.

PART B – INSTANT COMMISSIONS

At our discretion, you may be placed on an instant commission status. Instant commission are paid at the point of sale through JVZoo.

Commissions will not be paid if an affiliate uses their own link to purchase the product.

Commissions are not paid for any sales for which payment has not been received, or for any transaction that has been rejected for any reason.

If a transaction incurs a charge-back, or if an online transaction is not completed in every way, or if we have reason to believe a transaction is fraudulent or violates any of the terms of this Agreement in our reasonable discretion, no commission payment is due to the affiliate. If a commission has already been paid, then it will be deducted from an active affiliate’s future commissions.

CONTEST PRIZES

From time to time we hold sales competitions and /or may offer prizes as a reward for achieving sales goals that we set. We reserve the right to change or substitute those prizes with cash or however we see fit. Unless otherwise stated in the particular contest page, there are no minimum sales requirement to qualify for a prize. The affiliate must is simply expected to comply with our terms and ultimately the decision of who gets a prize and how much is up to us.

Teams of no more than 2 persons are allowed to compete in our contests as long as we receive notification of the team, a name for the team and the affiliate ID’s of both team members PRIOR TO THE START OF THE CONTEST via email to Omar@HigherLevelStrategies.com

If you do not agree with or can not comply with these contest rules then please do not participate. If you have any questions about our policies we recommend that you contact us directly before promoting any of our products.

Our contests are not a game of chance or sweepstakes unless otherwise stated. Our contests are performance-based sales competitions and your participation is never required. Our contests do. ot requitre a purchase. Our contests are void where prohibited.

EARNING COMMISSIONS ON PRODUCTS

Affiliates will earn commissions on sales resulting from referrals brought to us through the unique affiliate links generated inside their JVZoo account, and or by their unique ACE links (Automated Commission Enterprise). Our affiliate links work on a “last cookie wins” system, meaning the most recent affiliate who got the click should be credited with the sale. Please note we do advise affiliates to ask their referrals to clear cookies BEFORE using their links to ensure credit of the sale to their account.

Any purchases referred through non-JVZoo links or non-ACE links will not track to a specific affiliate account and cannot be attributed to a specific affiliate. In special rare cases (at our own discretion) we will credit a sale to an affiliate that has not tracked if they can provide relevant information about the buyer, and we can confirm this with the buyer. Sales will not be attributed to an affiliate if another affiliate has already been credited with the sale (i.e. we will not change the attributed affiliate on a sale).

Please note that any Affiliate that encourages a customer to refund their purchase through another Affiliate and repurchase through them will be banned from promoting all of our products forever and will be reported to JVZoo for blacklisting.

JVZoo uses lifetime cookies to track affiliate referrals and sales. This means that a referring Affiliate “should” be credited with the sale even if it occurs long after the referral but this cannot be guaranteed because the customer may have cleared their device cookies, or purchase through another device or subsequently clicked on another Affiliates referral link. Remember, the last cookie wins the sale.

COMMISSION RATES

Commissions percentages vary by product and will be stated on the product’s respective JV Page (affiliate details page). All HLS product JV pages can be reached by visiting the products website URL and adding a trailing /jv, for example, www.ProductWebsite.com/jv You can also see a directory of all HLS products available for promotion at www.JVWith.us

Unless otherwise stated on the particular products jv page, most of our front end products payout 100% commissions, and our additional backend offers (upsells and downsells or OTO’s) payout 50% commissions.

ACE members will always receive 100% commissions across all HLS core products (visit your ACE portal to see what the core products are)

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES – 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO AS AN HLS AFFILIATE

You agree that you are NOT allowed to do the following things if approved for the affiliate program. By doing any of the following, you will be terminated from the program and agree that any commissions will be forfeited without recourse:

1. You are NOT permitted to conduct e-mail promotions in a 3rd party system – all email contacts MUST be your OWN opt-in email list. You cannot, use safe lists, use spam or anything similar.

2. You must NOT run “negative” PPC or Iframe domain campaigns such as “Product name/author name scam” or any other method to attract controversial click thru rates that an ordinary person would deem to portray a negative view of the product. This creates a very bad image for our company and the individuals featured in the products and you will be terminated from the program instantly.

3. You should avoid using the raw affiliate link. All affiliates are encouraged to utilize REdirect links in emails and website campaigns and not the direct affiliate link you will receive. This increases conversion for both of us.

4. You cannot earn commission on your own purchase. Any ‘self’ purchase commission will be nullified.

5. You are not permitted to use any domain names containing the name of the product, the name Omar Martin, or the name Melinda Martin. We also do not permit the use of domains containing the words Higher Level Strategies, or any variation on this which infringes on our brand. We reserve the right to enforce trademark infringement.

6. iFrames, and cloaked domains are not permitted. These can mislead buyers and we use frame busters to prevent them from being used. Presell pages are far more effective for you.

7. You must not scrape content from our sites, RSS feeds or use the same text. Be sure to create original content so that you get better search results.

8. PPC campaigners may bid on any keywords including the product names and author names as long as you agree that these trademarks and product names are the property of Higher Level Strategies, Inc. and you are only using them under the agreement. This agreement may be revoked at any time. Make sure all campaigns abide by point number 2.

9. You must abide by the laws of your country in all your affiliate promotions. You must never use FAKE testimonials or FAKE news sites or anything false when promoting our offers. See the FTC guidelines here.

10. We do not permit offering cashback, rebates, or other discounts as part of your affiliate offer or promotion of any HLS products. We advise promoting our product based on its own merits. Our most successful affiliates offer unique bonuses such as additional training, resources, or setup services.

11. You should NEVER encourage a customer to refund their purchase through another Affiliate, (or no affiliate) and repurchase through you. If you or your customer suspect that there has been an issue with the referral then it is your responsibility to contact HLS so that WE can investigate the situation.
