Affiliate Program South Africa

Application and Prior Written Approval

Anyone wishing to participate in the WBL-DEV affiliate programme must first apply by emailing hi@wbl-dev.co.za. Applications must include the applicant's name, contact details, intended promotional methods, traffic sources, target audience, websites, social media accounts, advertising platforms and any other channels they plan to use. WBL-DEV must provide written approval before the applicant may promote WBL-DEV as an affiliate or submit referrals under the programme. Submitting an application does not automatically grant permission to participate. Approval is at the discretion of WBL-DEV.

When a Referral Qualifies

A once-off referral payment of R600 is payable when WBL-DEV accepts the referral and receives payment from the referred client for the service. No referral payment is due if the client does not proceed or does not pay WBL-DEV. The referral must be acknowledged by WBL-DEV before the client signs up to qualify.

Non-Paying Clients

The once-off R600 referral payment is payable only after WBL-DEV receives payment from the referred client. If the client does not proceed or does not pay, no referral payment is due. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under South African law.

No Dashboard or Tracking Link

There is no affiliate dashboard or unique referral link. Referrals are handled directly by contacting WBL-DEV and identifying the potential client. WBL-DEV will confirm whether the referral has been accepted.

Payment Details

Provide your payment details when arranging the referral reward. Any invoice or supporting information legally required for payment must be supplied before payment is made.

When You Get Paid

WBL-DEV issues maintenance invoices on the 26th of each month. The R600 referral reward is paid after WBL-DEV receives payment from the referred client. If the client does not pay, no referral reward is due. The affiliate must provide accurate payment details and any supporting documentation reasonably required for payment.

Good Faith and Responsible Promotion

You agree to act in good faith, promote WBL-DEV's services honestly and avoid misleading statements about the service, referral payment or likely earnings. You must not make commitments on behalf of WBL-DEV without prior approval. You may not claim to be an employee, partner or official representative of WBL-DEV.

Programme Changes and Termination

Participation is subject to the applicable referral programme terms provided by WBL-DEV. WBL-DEV may decline or end participation in the referral programme in the event of misuse, misleading promotion, fraud or other material breaches. WBL-DEV may also withdraw approval for individual promotional channels. Any changes to the referral reward or programme terms will be communicated to participants. Referral payments already earned will be handled in accordance with these terms and applicable law.

POPIA, Consent and Responsible Advertising

Affiliates may only promote WBL-DEV using the promotional methods, traffic sources and channels disclosed in their application and approved in writing by WBL-DEV. Any significant changes to the promotional methods, advertising platforms, websites or traffic sources must be submitted to WBL-DEV for written approval before use.

Affiliates must not engage in unsolicited marketing. This includes unsolicited emails, SMSs, WhatsApp messages, social media direct messages, marketing calls or other direct promotional contact with individuals or businesses. Where direct marketing is permitted only with prior consent, the required consent must be obtained before contact. For this programme, affiliates must only directly approach people who have explicitly opted in to receive the relevant marketing communications.

Affiliates may use paid advertising where the advertising channel has been approved by WBL-DEV. Advertisements must comply with applicable laws and platform rules and must be truthful, accurate and not misleading. Affiliates may not make false claims, guarantee results, misrepresent WBL-DEV's services or pricing, or create misleading advertisements.

Affiliates may not scrape, purchase, collect or use contact lists for unsolicited marketing. A publicly available email address or telephone number does not automatically constitute consent to receive marketing communications. Affiliates must respect objections and requests to stop receiving communications.

Affiliates must comply with POPIA, the Consumer Protection Act and all other applicable laws when promoting WBL-DEV or handling personal information. Personal information may only be collected, used or shared with WBL-DEV where there is a lawful basis to do so. Affiliates must obtain the necessary permission before sharing a person's contact details or referring them directly to WBL-DEV, where required by law.

WBL-DEV may request information or evidence relating to promotional activities, traffic sources, advertising methods and consent. WBL-DEV reserves the right to withdraw approval or immediately terminate an affiliate's participation if these requirements are breached.

No Guaranteed Income

WBL-DEV does not guarantee referrals or a minimum level of earnings. The once-off R600 reward is payable only for an accepted referral that results in a client paying WBL-DEV.
