Affiliate agreement
Version of September 30, 2026.
1. The parties and joining
This agreement binds PAPEL SAS, a company with share capital of €100, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 843 729 864, registered office 58 rue de Monceau, 75008 Paris, EU VAT number FR18843729864, which publishes Please Send It ("PAPEL"), and any adult holding a Please Send It account who joins the affiliate program ("the affiliate"). Joining is free. It is done online, by checking the box accepting this agreement; the accepted version, date and time are recorded. This agreement supplements the Terms of Use.
2. The link and the code
- The affiliate receives a personal link (pleasesendit.com/?ref=CODE) and a promo code, identical to the code in the link. They can customize their code once; the old link keeps working, the old promo code no longer gives a discount.
- The link and the code are personal: the affiliate does not transfer them or hand them to a third party to promote them on their behalf.
3. The customer brought in
- A visitor who opens the affiliate's link is recognized for 90 days, through a cookie that contains only the code. If they create an account during that time, their account is linked to the affiliate.
- A customer who enters the affiliate's code on the payment page is also linked to them.
- At the first payment, the paying organization is linked to the affiliate. The first link prevails: a customer already linked never changes affiliate.
- The customer brought in gets 20% off their first payment. This discount cannot be combined with any other promotion.
4. The commission
- The affiliate earns 20% of the amount excluding VAT actually collected by PAPEL from the customer brought in, net of discounts, on each of their payments for 12 months from their first payment.
- The part of an invoice settled by a credit balance or a credit note is not an amount collected and gives no commission.
- No commission is due beyond these 12 months, nor on a payment made before the customer was linked.
5. Confirmation after 30 days
Each commission is first "pending". It is "confirmed" 30 days after the customer's payment, if the payment has been neither refunded nor disputed. A refund cancels the corresponding commission, or reduces it proportionally if partial; a payment dispute (chargeback) cancels it. Only a confirmed commission is due.
6. Cases with no commission
- No commission on one's own account, nor on an organization the affiliate owns, nor when the affiliate and the customer use the same payment method.
- No commission on a customer obtained by means prohibited by article 9, nor on a fraudulent payment.
7. If you recommend your employer
Personally earning money for getting one's employer to choose a supplier, without the employer's consent, may constitute private bribery under French law (article 445-2 of the French Criminal Code). Therefore, when the customer brought in is the affiliate's own organization (they are a member of it, or their professional email address has the same domain name as the customer's, excluding consumer email services), the commission is not paid to them: once confirmed, it becomes a discount on that organization's subscription.
As an exception, the commission is paid to the affiliate if they declare, in their affiliate dashboard, that they have their employer's written consent. The declaration is time-stamped and applies to future payments; the affiliate guarantees its accuracy, and PAPEL may ask for a copy of that consent. Recommending the service to other companies, customers or partners remains allowed, subject to the affiliate's employment contract.
8. Payment
The affiliate chooses one of these three ways to be paid in their dashboard, and can change it at any time for commissions not yet paid:
- Please Send It credit: confirmed commissions are added to their account credit and deducted from their next invoices. This credit is neither refundable nor convertible into money.
- Bank transfer, no business status: for a person acting occasionally, with no professional activity. The affiliate provides their name, address and IBAN. Amounts paid are capped at €1,500 per calendar year; above that, they must switch to bank transfer against an invoice. PAPEL issues a commission statement for each payment. The affiliate declares these amounts themselves, in France as non-professional non-commercial income (form 2042-C-PRO), subject to income tax and social contributions.
- Bank transfer against an invoice: for a micro-entrepreneur or a company. The affiliate provides their legal name, SIRET number, address and IBAN, and uploads in their dashboard an invoice made out to PAPEL for their confirmed commissions. They alone are responsible for their tax and social obligations.
Confirmed commissions are paid by bank transfer at the start of the month following their confirmation, and, for bank transfer against an invoice, once the invoice is received. PAPEL reports to the tax authorities the amounts paid to a given beneficiary when the law requires it (DAS2 return, above €2,400 per year). The IBAN is stored encrypted and never shown in full in the affiliate's dashboard.
9. Rules of conduct
- Disclose the commercial link: in any publication (social network, website, video, newsletter), the affiliate clearly writes "affiliate link" next to their link or code.
- No spam: the affiliate never sends unsolicited emails, text messages or messages, neither on behalf of Please Send It nor on their own, to promote the service.
- No false promises: the affiliate describes the service, its prices and its guarantees accurately, without promising anything the service does not do.
- No confusion: the affiliate does not present themselves as PAPEL or Please Send It, does not imitate the website, and does not buy ads on the words "Please Send It".
- No code on coupon websites: the code is shared with people the affiliate knows or with their audience, not on websites that list promo codes.
10. Refusal and removal
PAPEL may refuse a membership, or remove an affiliate who does not comply with this agreement, by a reasoned decision sent by email. Upon removal, the link and the code stop working and commissions still pending are canceled; commissions confirmed before the removal remain due, except in case of fraud.
11. Term and changes
The agreement is entered into for an indefinite term. The affiliate can leave the program at any time by writing to support@pleasesendit.com or by deleting their account: confirmed commissions remain due, unless they have already been converted into credit. PAPEL may change the agreement or end the program by announcing it by email at least 30 days in advance; commissions on payments collected before the effective date remain due.
12. Independence
The affiliate acts independently. The agreement creates no employment contract, agency or partnership between the parties, and the affiliate cannot bind PAPEL.
13. Personal data
The data needed for the program (code, clicks counted without any IP address in the clear, linked customers, commissions, payment details, invoices) is described on the Your data page, with its retention periods.
14. Governing law
The agreement is governed by French law. In case of disagreement, the parties first seek an amicable solution. Failing that, the competent courts are those of PAPEL's registered office when the affiliate acts in a professional capacity; a person acting outside any professional activity keeps the jurisdiction rules that protect them.
