Last Updated: May 6, 2025

I. General Terms and Conditions for Vendors and Affiliates

Digistore24 LTD (hereinafter referred to as “Digistore24”) operates the sales platform located at https://www.digistore24.com/ (the “Sales Platform”), in which end consumers may purchase software, services, or other goods (“Products”) from Digistore24. The Sales Platform also permits third-party advertisers (“Affiliates”) to promote a third party vendor’s products. Vendors who offer products and services to end-users are referenced herein as “Vendor.” The program whereby Affiliates promote the Products is referenced herein the “Affiliate Program.”

The following General Terms and Conditions (the “GTC” or “Agreement”) is a binding agreement between and govern the legal relationship between Digistore24 on the one hand, and Vendor and Affiliates who participate in the Affiliate Program on the other. The Vendor or Affiliate entering this agreement shall be referenced herein as “Contractual Partner.” By submitting an application, or accessing or participating in the Sales Platform, Contractual Partner confirms that it has read these GTC and expressly consents to all the terms and conditions contained herein and any additional terms and conditions specified on the Sales Platform.

II. Term; Termination

This Agreement shall commence on the date that Contractual Partner submits an application and Digistore24 accepts such application. Contractual Partner must accurately complete the application to become an Affiliate or Vendor, as applicable. Digistore24 may accept or reject applications at its sole discretion for any or no reason.

Digistore24 may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate or change the Affiliate Program, revoke Contractual Partner’s access to the Affiliate Program, for any or no reason, with or without notice. Contractual Partner may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Digistore24. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Contractual Partner shall immediately cease use of all Digistore24 services and return all Confidential Information to Digistore24, and no further compensation shall be owed to Contractual Partner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Digistore24 may immediately terminate this Agreement without further compensation to Contractual Partner at any time if Digistore24 determines, in its sole discretion, that Contractual Partner has breached this Agreement, engaged in fraud, or violate any applicable state, federal, or local law, rule, or regulation. Upon termination, Affiliate shall immediately cease engaging in the Promotions (as defined herein).

If Contractual Partner violates this Agreement, or if Digistore24 suspects that Contractual Partner has violated the Agreement, it shall forfeit any unpaid Commissions or other payments otherwise due by Digistore24. Failure to comply with this Agreement or suspected non-compliance may result in Commission withholdings, possible legal action, and any other rights or remedies available to Digistore24 pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Digistore24 under this Agreement, or law or equity, Digistore24 reserves the right to withhold any unpaid Commissions, charge back paid Commissions to Contractual Partner’s account, and deduct Commissions paid to Contractual Partner against future payments if (i) Digistore24 suspects or determines in its sole discretion that Contractual Partner has breached this Agreement or any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (ii) Digistore24 receives any complaints about Contractual Partner which Digistore24 reasonably believes to indicate Contractual Partner’s breach of this Agreement; or (iii) Digistore24 determines in its sole discretion that Commissions were associated with a breach of this Agreement or applicable law, rule, or regulation. The foregoing shall be used to offset any losses and liabilities to Digistore24 associated with Contractual Partner’s breach, including Digistore24’s legal fees and costs. Thus, such Commissions may be withheld, deducted, or charged back without regard to whether such Commissions were earned as a result of such breach. If any breach of this Agreement occurs and Digistore24 determines that the breach has been cured, Digistore24 may return some or all of such amounts as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

IV. Vendor Product Sales

Vendor shall create an account at the Sales Platform, describe its Product (or, in the case of a digital product, upload the Product). Digistore24 shall provide Vendor a link that Vendor may integrate on its website (“Link”). End consumers who view the Link and wish to purchase the Product shall be directed to the Sales Platform. If an end consumer completes an order on the Sales Platform, Digistore24 shall purchase the corresponding Product from Vendor in Digistore24’s name and sell such Product to the end consumer in Digistore24’s own name and for Digistore24’s own account. Once the end consumer has purchased the Product from the Sales Platform, Digistore24 shall send the order to Vendor via email or using an interface to the Vendor’s system (if specified by Vendor). Digistore24 shall pay Vendor a price based upon the sales price of the Product, less Digistore24’s fees. Such price shall be specified on the Sales Platform and is subject to change. Vendor shall fulfill the order submitted by end consumer and send the Product to end consumer immediately in accordance with the shipping method selected by the customer and provide the Product in accordance with the Product characteristics and features provided by Vendor to Digistore24. The payment recipient and invoicing party to end consumers shall be Digistore24, and the end consumer’s contract for the purchase of the Product shall be concluded between the end consumer and Digistore24. Products offered for sale via the Sales Platform shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • Vendor shall comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations in connection with the Products registered for sale via the Sales Platform and the offer and sale of such Products.
  • Vendor shall provide Digistore24 with advertising and marketing copy and creative materials that Digistore24 and Affiliates may use to promote Vendor’s Products. Affiliates may also create and use other advertising and marketing copy and creative materials to promote Vendor’s Products, subject to all restrictions and limitations contained in this Agreement.
  • Vendor authorizes Digistore24 to list all products registered by the Vendor for sale via the Sales Platform in a searchable online product marketplace operated by Digistore24 and to offer them for sale to buyers.
  • At any time, Digistore24 may, at its own discretion, for any or no reason, with or without notice to the Vendor and without warranty for contractual penalties or liability claims, delete and remove products from the Sales Platform marketplace list.
  • The Vendor must provide a valid email address which Digistore24 may use to send inquiries that must be answered by the end of the next business day. Vendor shall provide Digistore24 with a non-automated response within one business day. The Vendor must report to Digistore24 all complaints based on a violation of terms and conditions or legal violations that become known in relation to a Product within two business days. This reporting obligation also applies to the threat of filing complaints. Vendor shall support Digistore24 in responding to any complaints by taking any necessary steps and appropriate actions at Vendor’s expense.
  • Vendor shall comply with applicable laws and regulations concerning collection of taxes associated with Product purchases, which may vary by country. Vendor shall assume the full responsibility for the timely payment of any taxes due.
  • Vendor shall not provide any false or misleading information about the Products to Digistore24, in statements to consumers, or to any other third party. Vendor shall fulfill all incentives or promotions Vendor promises to Affiliates. Vendor shall forgo incentives or promotions for Affiliates without an express statement that they are exclusively provided by the Vendor and not by Digistore24.

V. Vendor Payments

Vendor shall specify a non-binding price recommendation for the net sales price of each Product. Once an end consumer completes a purchase of the corresponding Product, Digistore24 shall pay Vendor an amount based on the non-binding price recommendation, plus tax due for the specific sale to the end customer (“Sales Price”), less a margin for Digistore24 pursuant to the then-current Sales Platform price list or separate agreement with the Vendor in relation to a specific Product (“Vendor Payments”).

Vendor Payments shall be issued to Vendor via the payment method specified at the time Vendor enrolls in the Affiliate Program. Vendor Payments shall be issued within 60 days of the end-consumer’s purchase date, or in the time period specified on the Sales Platform or otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or on the Sales Platform to the contrary, Digistore24 expressly reserves the right withhold a percentage of Vendor Payments for an additional time period to account for potential or anticipated end-consumer chargebacks and returns. Digistore24 reserves the right to extend the time for disbursement of Vendor Payments if Digistore24 considers the quantities of a Product sold are low in relation to the Product price. Digistore24 shall issue Vendor Payments only after a minimum Vendor Payment amount of € 50.00 is met. In the event that this minimum amount is not reached, Digistore24 shall withhold Vendor Payments until the minimum amount is reached. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to reaching the minimum amount, a payment shall be made even if the Vendor Payments accrued are less than € 50.00, subject to the withholding period specified herein.

In the event that an end-consumer requests a return or initiates a chargeback for the Product, Digistore24 shall deduct the corresponding amount, including a transaction and chargeback fee, from Vendor Payments for such returns or chargebacks. Digistore24 reserves the right to withhold Vendor Payments in whole or in part if it suspects that Contractual Partner has violated this Agreement, or any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or if Vendor’s Products are suspected or deemed to be defective, or if Vendor offers insufficient Product access or support, as determined by Digistore24 in its sole discretion.

VI. Vendor Withholdings

Negative Balances and Reimbursement Obligations. In the event Vendor’s account reflects a negative balance at any time, whether due to returns, refunds, chargebacks, cancellations, adjustments, reversals, penalties, or any other transaction, Vendor acknowledges and agrees that it shall remain fully and unconditionally liable to Digistore24 for the full amount of any such negative balance. Upon written demand by Digistore24, Vendor shall within ten (10) calendar days reimburse Digistore24 for any negative balance. If any reimbursement request made by Digistore24 to Vendor is not reimbursed within ten (10) calendar days of such request, then Digistore24 shall have the right, in its sole discretion and without limitation, to recover any negative balance by (a) offsetting against any current or future Vendor Payments due to Vendor under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties; (b) debiting any Vendor-linked payment method or account; (c) applying any reserve funds, deposits, or security amounts held by Digistore24 on Vendor’s behalf; or (d) pursuing any and all available remedies at law or in equity, including without limitation, the initiation of legal proceedings or collection actions and the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Vendor’s reimbursement obligation shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Vendor shall be responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable legal fees, court costs, and interest on the outstanding amount which will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Central European Bank’s base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.

VII. Affiliate Program

Affiliates may advertise a product and thus promote sales of such product (engage in “Promotions”) as part of the Affiliate Program. For such activities, the Affiliate will receive a commission from Digistore24 (“Commission”) that is specified for the promoted Product on the Sales Platform.

VIII. Promotions

Digistore24 may provide Links that Affiliate may use to promote the Products. Vendors may make available to Affiliate graphic and textual links and other creative materials such as text ads, graphic ads, video ads, from and subject lines, and copy associated with the Promotion that Affiliate may display on websites owned or controlled by Affiliate, in emails sent by Affiliate, and in Affiliate’s online advertisements. Digistore24 may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate or change any Promotion, and deactivate, change or remove any Link for any or no reason.

Affiliate shall discontinue use and dissemination of the Promotion and Link immediately upon Digistore24’s request.

IX. Affiliate Commission

The Commission paid to Affiliate shall be specified on the Sales Platform for the corresponding Products and Promotions. Affiliate’s Commission is based on the Product to be marketed and will be agreed upon individually and may be calculated on the basis of the Sales Price. In the event that an end-consumer returns or initiates a chargeback for a Product, Digistore24 shall deduct the corresponding amount from Affiliate’s Commission. If a chargeback or return is initiated after the corresponding Commission has been paid to Affiliate, Digistore24 reserves to deduct such amount from future Commissions to Affiliate. Affiliate shall not receive a Commission if an Affiliate is also a Vendor and buys its own Product.

X. Marketing

Contractual Partners shall only conduct marketing services under this Agreement using the marketing channels permitted by Digistore24.

All emails sent by Affiliates and Vendors under this Agreement shall comply with the United States CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, 15 U.S.C. 7704, and all state, local, or national laws and regulations concerning email marketing, including but not limited to Cal. Bus. and Prof. Code 17529.5 et seq.; and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (“PECR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK GPDR”) as applicable in the United Kingdom.

No emails shall be sent to any email address associated with any recipient on the Suppression List. Contractual Partner shall be responsible for any sending of email messages as well as proper usage of the Suppression List. The Suppression List shall constitute Digistore24’s Confidential Information, as defined herein, and Contractual Partner shall not sell, lease, exchange, transfer, release, or use the Suppression List either directly or indirectly for business purposes whatsoever for any purpose other than to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

  • Emails shall include a clear and conspicuous notice of the recipient’s right to opt-out of receiving future emails from Digistore24 or the email sender and a functioning return email address or other Internet-based mechanism that a recipient may use to make such an “opt-out request.” The opt-out mechanism must remain active for at least thirty (30) days from the date the email is sent or the life of the Promotion, whichever is longer. Each email unsubscribe request shall be honored within ten (10) days from receipt of request. Contractual Partner shall maintain electronic or tangible records confirming the removal of each such email address from any applicable email lists for verification by Digistore24.

Emails shall not mask the email origin. The consumer or intended recipient address shall be posted in the “to” line.
  • Emails shall use only creatives provided or pre-approved by Digistore24 in writing. Contractual Partner shall not remove or alter creatives, subject lines, or from lines provided by Digistore24 or pre-approved by Digistore24 in writing. Digistore24 may request, prior to Contractual Partner sending emails under this Agreement, that Contractual Partner submit the final version of such email to Digistore24 for Digistore24’s prior written approval.
  • All emails sent by Contractual Partner shall be delivered only to addresses on email lists owned or managed solely by Contractual Partner. Contractual Partner represents and warrants that the recipients of all email addresses used by Contractual Partner in connection with this Agreement have manifested affirmative, direct consent to receive commercial emails from Contractual Partner. Contractual Partner shall maintain at all times during the term of the Agreement, and for a period of four years thereafter, complete and accurate subscriber signup/registration data for every email address on each such list.

  • Contractual Partner shall not send email messages to email addresses that have been improperly obtained, including addressees harvested from the Internet without consent, through scripts or other automated means of registering for multiple email accounts, “scraping” of websites, or by harvesting addresses from the Internet. Contractual Partner is responsible for knowing the source of its email list. Contractual Partner shall not send email messages from accounts obtained using scripts or other automated means of registering for multiple email accounts.

Contractual Partner shall not use mouse traps or windows that are in all cases only displayed by opening new windows or that cannot be closed; exploit security loopholes on clients or servers; omit of clear, valid, and identifiable information regarding the sender and subject of the email; send or forward emails from a protected computer or network that is accessed without appropriate permission.

Contractual Partner shall not send or use text messages or telephone calls, SMS, MMS messages (including any telephone calls using prerecorded voice or sending “ringless voicemails”) to conduct services hereunder, unless Digistore24 provides its prior express written permission, in which case Contractual Partner shall comply with each of the following requirements:
