Please note that commissions are not paid on any donations made on the Site that fall under the CrowdCause fundraising platform.

6.3 Company tracks customer referrals via cookies. When a new potential customer first visits the Site via a Tracking URL, an entry is stored via a text file on such potential customer’s web browser, also known as a cookie. The stored cookie identifies the respective Affiliate being responsible for the referral. Company’s cookies are valid for 30 days. Therefore, potential customers who click a Tracking URL but wait longer than 30 days to make their first purchase in the Store will not be recognized as a Referred Customer and no commissions will be earned on such purchases.

Our Affiliate Account Manager provides you with information and tools you will need to manage your account.

8. Promotion Restrictions

8.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions the Company could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort.

Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups or social media groups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote the Company so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
