If the links are not operational or they have changed, you may contact the FTC or our program director for assistance.
Affiliate Compensation Disclosure:
The Affiliate is informed that the FTC classifies the Affiliate as an "endorser" for the Company’s products or services that are marketed by the Affiliate. Accordingly, the Affiliate shall disclose the Affiliate’s "material connections" with the Company in his/her/its capacity as an Affiliate by making a clear and conspicuous disclosure in all online advertisements by stating the fact that the Affiliate is compensated for promoting the Company’s products and services. The Affiliate shall in Affiliate’s advertisements, website pages and at the bottom of all commercial emails, satisfy the said requirement of disclosing the Affiliate’s "material connection" with the Company by adding a notice or statement, one similar in form and substance, as follows:
“From time to time, we promote, endorse, or suggest products or services of others. In most cases, we will be compensated or receive free product for our review or use. Our recommendations are always based on (i) our personal belief in the high quality and value of the product or service, and (ii) our review of the product or service, or a prior relationship or positive experience with the sponsoring person or organization.”
Or
“This is an affiliate ad supported website. If you buy something from a link or ad on this website, based on my/our recommendation, either expressed or implied, I/we may be paid a commission by the company from which you have made the purchase or receive free products from the company for our review or use.”
The Affiliate shall in all promotional posts on social media, disclose his/her/its "material relationship" by adding the following as a prominent disclosure: #ad, or such other notation as may be recommended by the FTC and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

If the links are not operational or they have changed, you may contact the FTC or our program director for assistance.
The Affiliate should consult his/her/its own legal counsel for the appropriate language and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations affecting its operation.
Commissions & Payments:
The Affiliate shall receive Sales Commissions for sending the Company authorized sales via links, tracking cookies, and/or coupon/voucher code usage, in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Affiliate Program platform uses browser cookies to verify qualifying sales. The cookies are valid for thirty (30) days (the “Cookie Period”). Commissions are paid on qualifying sales made during the Cookie Period.
Commissions are computed and paid based on the net sales of the Affiliate’s Referrals that the Company is able to track and credit to the Affiliate. The term "Referrals" means users who access this site through tracking URL(s) that the Company provides to the Affiliate.
Sales commissions will be computed by multiplying the “Net Amount of the Qualifying Purchases” (“Net Sales”) by the relevant Sales Commission Rate.
The Sales Commission Rate shall be determined and announced by the Company. The current commission rate shall be reflected under “Program Summary” appearing on the Program Registration page. The commission rate may be changed by the Company at any time, by providing a ten (10) day notice by email or other written means to the Affiliate. The Company may, at its sole discretion, designate different rates. All commissions are in US dollars.
A "Qualifying Purchase" occurs when a customer clicks through a Link on the Affiliate’s site to the Company's website and/or a customer uses a Coupon Code at checkout which has been directly assigned to the Affiliate and linked to the Affiliate account for tracking purposes, and that customer both: (i) adds a product to his/her shopping cart and places the order for that product, and (ii) the product is paid for by the customer, and shipped, and the product is not returned or purchase price is not refunded.
A Qualifying Purchase could occur during the visit by the customer or if the sale was made within thirty days of the user clicking the Affiliate Link, as long as the Affiliate was the last referral. If a user clicks multiple Affiliate Links or links by multiple affiliates, the last Affiliate Link to be clicked prior to a qualifying sale will receive the commission. If the user’s last click prior to making the purchase was any channel or method other than the Affiliate link, the purchase will not be a qualifying sale and the Affiliate will not receive a commission.
For the purpose of commissions, the term “Net Sales” means the total invoice price at which the sale is invoiced to the customer and actually paid to the Company, excluding any returns, markdowns, temporary price reductions, rebates, refunds, discounts, charge-backs, cost of bundling outside third-party products, any shipping and handling charges, local and foreign taxes, miscellaneous fees, and/or any other losses, reductions, allowances or discounts granted to the customer at the time of order or subsequent to the order. The Company, at its sole discretion, shall determine all matters pertaining to customer refunds, returns and collectability of accounts, without incurring any liability for its actions. Such determination by the Company shall be binding upon the Affiliate.
Qualifying Purchases exclude, and the Affiliate will not be paid Sales Commissions on any product that: (a) is purchased by a customer without using an assigned Affiliate link or specific custom coupon code; (b) is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from the Affiliate site to the Company's web sites are not properly formatted (c) is purchased for resale or commercial use of any kind; (d) is purchased after expiration of the link, promotion, coupon code or termination of this Agreement; or (e) is purchased by a customer who is referred to the Company's site through any prohibited method or means.
Use of Voucher Codes: Affiliates may only promote the coupon/voucher codes that are provided through the Affiliates Program platform. Any expiration dates should be clearly displayed next to the voucher codes, and codes should be removed or explicitly marked as expired after the expiration date. The Affiliate will not be paid Sales Commissions on any internally created codes by the Affiliate.
Commissions are computed and paid based on the net sales of the Affiliate’s Referrals that the Company is able to track and credit to the Affiliate. In no event shall the Company be held liable for more than a single referral fee for a single referral sale, and in the event of a dispute between competing affiliates for credit for a sale, the Company’s determination will be final. Commissions for orders that are disputed (returns, etc.) will be withheld until such matters are fully resolved.
All orders through an Affiliate’s custom Link shall be tracked through a third party or an intermediary, and such data alone shall be the basis for computing all commissions. The Affiliate shall be responsible for retrieving the sales commission information from the Company’s web site or a third party website, designated by the Company, including any changes to the sales commission or the payout structure.
An Affiliate is only permitted to have one (1) account, and shall list all his/her/its platforms under this account.
Becoming a customer of the Affiliate’s own account is strictly prohibited and Sales Commission generated in violation of this paragraph will not be paid.
Except as may be expressly authorized in writing by the Company, the appointment of sub-affiliates is not permitted and will not be recognized by the Company.
In the event a referral of an Affiliate who visited the Company's Web site via the Affiliate site later becomes the Company’s customer through any other channel of commerce, a participant in the Affiliate Program or otherwise becomes a promoter, salesperson, wholesaler, distributor or retailer of the Company’s products, the Affiliate will not be entitled to any further commission whatsoever for sales to that customer.
Affiliate Payments:
Sales commission payments on Net Sales of Qualifying Purchases are computed on a monthly basis. Commissions earned by the Affiliate in a calendar month will be paid 36 days after the close of the month, to allow for returns.
The Payments shall be processed by PayPal and paid to the Affiliate’s PayPal account. The Company may change the payment processor at any time.
The Affiliate must notify and keep current his/her/its contact details and PayPal email address to ensure accurate disbursement of commissions. The Affiliate shall promptly comply with and complete all forms and formalities required in connection with the disbursement of commissions.
In the event the Affiliate’s commission balance for any month is under $100 USD, it will be credited toward the next monthly billing cycle. Commissions credited to the Affiliate Account do not accrue interest.
Any discrepancy in the amount owed by the Company must be brought by the Affiliate to the attention of the Company within thirty (30) days following the date of payment.
Order Processing and Fulfillment:
The Company will be solely responsible for all aspects of processing and fulfillment of orders placed by Affiliate Referrals. All orders are subject to pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders set forth on the Company's website. The Company reserves the right to reject orders that do not comply with its requirements. The Affiliate is not authorized to accept orders or to enter into contracts or to create any obligation in the Company’s name, or to transact any business on behalf of the Company.
The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion, to include, delete, modify, alter, change, improve, limit the supply or discontinue any or all of its products, and to establish, change, alter, or amend the prices for any or all of its products. The Company also reserves the right to offer its products at different prices, discounts and terms in different channels of commerce. The Company will not be held liable for any loss, damages or penalties for failure or delay in furnishing products for any cause whatsoever.
Product Warranty: The Affiliate shall not make any representation or warranty regarding the Company’s site, products or services. The Affiliate does not have any authority, express or implied, directly or indirectly, to alter, change, enlarge, limit, or otherwise modify the representations or warranties made by the Company in connection with the Products beyond those expressly contained in the Company's written product warranty, product website and literature. The Affiliate will indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any expenses, claims, damages, liability of any nature and character, including court costs and attorneys' fees, arising from or related to any such unauthorized representations, warranties, or guarantees, or from any inconsistent promises.
Warranty Disclaimer: Although the Company reserves the right to make a limited warranty to the end-user, it makes no warranty to the Affiliate. Neither the Company nor any of its suppliers or resellers make any warranty of any kind, express or implied, to the Affiliate. The Company and its suppliers specifically disclaim the implied warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, system integration and data accuracy. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this agreement. No marketing of the Company services or product(s) is authorized hereunder except under this disclaimer.
Errors and Interruptions: The Company makes no representation that the operation of its site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and the Company will not be held liable for the consequences of any interruptions, errors and omissions.
Indemnification. The Affiliate agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, partners, affiliates, agents, assigns, licensees, subsidiaries, successors, subcontractors and service or contents providers against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, settlements, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses that are directly or indirectly premised upon or connected with the Affiliate’s (i) breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by the Affiliate in this Agreement, (ii) errors, omission or negligence in performance of this Agreement, (iii) breach of any duty or obligation under this Agreement, (iv) operation, use, development, design, manufacture, production, advertising, promotion, or marketing of the Affiliate site, (v) violation of any law, rule or regulation, including claims of infringement of intellectual property rights of any party and/or (vi) failure to fully or timely assume and satisfy any responsibility or obligation under this Agreement.
Limitation of Liability & Cap:

The Affiliate’s sole recourse and remedy against the Company for any and all disputes and claims, regardless of how characterized, shall be to seek a payment of referral fees or commissions from the Company. However, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, if the Company is held liable for any damages, the total aggregate liability of the Company, its officers, directors, licensors, service or content providers, affiliates, agents, contractors and sub-contractors, regardless of how alleged or characterized, shall be limited to the greater of (a) the average monthly commission fee paid to the Affiliate by the Company under this Program for one month based on the commissions for the preceding three (3) month period prior to any such action giving rise to the claim, or (b) Five hundred ($500.00) U.S. Dollars.

During the course of his/her/its Agreement with the Company, the Affiliate may receive and be entrusted with certain confidential business information from the Company.

Resolution of All Disputes:
Except for actions to protect intellectual property rights, seek injunctive relief and enforce an arbitrator's decision hereunder, any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or a breach thereof shall be submitted to and resolved by arbitration, by an arbitration firm selected by the Company, using a single arbitrator, pursuant to its procedures and then prevailing comprehensive rules. The controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. All proceedings will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, and conducted in English language. The arbitration shall take place in the City of Orange, California, or any other city to be designated by the Company and may be conducted by telephone or online.

The arbitrator shall not have the power to alter the terms of the Agreement or rights reserved by the Company under this Agreement. In any arbitration of a dispute, the arbitrator shall only have the power to award individual relief and shall not have the power to award any class, collective, or representative relief.
Each party gives up and waives the right to a trial by jury, and agrees that all such matters shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Each party also waives and gives up his/her/its right to participate or join in any class, collective or other representative action.
Limitation on Actions: The Affiliate agrees that any claim, arbitration or legal action to resolve any claim or controversy arising under this agreement or breach thereof must be brought within six months from the date of the event leading to the claim and not thereafter, and any such claim or cause of action shall be forever barred thereafter.
Attorney Fees. If any legal action is necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees in addition to any other relief to which the party may be entitled. However, such reimbursement of legal fees and expenses shall be limited to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).

A notice of any change sent by e-mail to the Affiliate’s then-current address on the Company’s records, newsletter or the posting on the Company’s site of a change notice of a new agreement or amendment, will be considered sufficient notice for notifying the Affiliate of a modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The amendments or modifications may include any aspect, including without limitation, changes in the scope of available commission rate, commission schedules, payment procedures, policies and Affiliate Program rules. All such modifications shall take effect 48 hours after the Company serves notice as provided herein, unless the Company indicates otherwise. If any modification is unacceptable to the Affiliate, the only recourse of the Affiliate will be to terminate this Agreement and the Affiliate’s participation in the Program. The Affiliate’s continued participation in the Affiliate Program, following the posting of a change notice or new agreement on the Company’s site, will constitute binding acceptance of the change by the Affiliate.
