Affiliate Guidelines
By participating (or continuing to participate)
in our affiliate program, you indicate that you have
read, understood and will comply with these guidelines.
Your use of our affiliate material, advertising creatives, etc., is conditioned on
your compliance with these guidelines.
- You will comply with all of ClickBank's policies, procedures, rules and terms & conditions.
- ClickBank's decisions about tracking, crediting and payment of
commissions are final.
- You will not use any form of unsolicited email or messaging
to promote our products (nor to promote websites that link to our products).
- Any descriptions of our products, adverts, etc., will fairly and
accurately describe the product. Adverts will not be misleading
in any way, and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
- It should be clear to readers of any adverts that you place, that
such materials are in fact adverts.
Additionally, if your adverts/promotions state that
you achieved particular results or achievements after using the product
(such as earning money, gaining web traffic, achieving success in business
or sales, etc.), it should be absolutely clear
that those were your results/achievements, that your results/achivements are
not necessarily typical, and that the results/achievements of others
may differ.
Note: This includes endorsements and reviews.
For example: Writing a review and recommendation, based on your
own personal experience with one of our products, followed by your affiliate
link, might be a good way to generate sales. However
your review should not only be honest and accurate - it should also be clear
that you are an affiliate that earns commissions from referring
sales of the product.
- We may make advertising creatives containing statements such as
"I have used it myself" or
"I personally recommend it"
(or other similar statements) available to affiliates.
You may use any such creatives, only if such statements are in fact
true in your case, and if it is clear to the reader who the "I"
or "we" in such statements refers to.
- We may make advertising creatives containing "virtual boxes",
"box shots", "ebook covers",
or other types of graphics available for use by affiliates.
You may use any such creatives,
only if it is clear (or you make it clear) to the reader that our products
are delivered as electronic downloads.
- The pricing of our products, as well as applicable taxes, may vary
from time-to-time. For this reason, we recommend that you do not
display prices for our products on other web sites or adverts.
If you do display prices, you must indicate the date on which the price
information was retrieved from our site, that our price may vary from
time-to-time, and that the pricing on our site at the time of purchase
will prevail.
- In the event that we become aware of what we consider (in our sole
judgement) to be an erroneous, inaccurate or misleading advert that we
believe you have placed, we may contact you. You agree in such cases
to use your best efforts to correct the advert (to our satisfaction)
as soon as possible.
- You must understand that
we do not promise that you will be successful.
We do not promise that you make any particular
amount of money or profits with our affiliate program.
It is possible that you may not make any money at all, or may
even lose money (for example, if you were to spend more money on placing adverts
and marketing than you were to generate from your sales commissions).
With any business, it is up to the individual owner of said business to ensure
the success of the business. You may make more or less than any sample
figures or results that might be quoted on our web sites or other publications.
All business involves risk, and many businesses do not succeed.
Further, Answers 2000 Limited does NOT represent that any particular
individual or business is typical, or that any results or experiences
achieved by any particular individual/business is necessarily typical.
