General

The Advertiser Service Agreement is summarized as follows:

  • Affiliates put your video banners on their sites, or within the content of their newsletter.
  • You may not dictate where the Affiliates place their video banners. If you are unhappy with an Affiliate, or feel that they are not suited for your site, you may request affiliatePLY to remove the specific Affiliate from your program from contacting us at advertisers@affiliateply.com.
  • AFFILIATEPLY.COM will pay your affiliates any monies due to them, based on the advertising payment method agreed between You and AFFILIATEPLY.COM.
  • THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF SITES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN AFFILIATEPLY.COM: ADULT SITES, SITES THAT DISPLAY ADULT CONTENT OR BANNERS, SITES THAT PROMOTE VIOLENCE, BIGOTRY, OR HATRED.
  • You agree that AFFILIATEPLY.COM, although the provider of the Service, has no responsibility or liability as a result of placement of authorized Links to Your Web site.
  • Any rewards or payments given to affiliates, through AFFILIATEPLY.COM must be done through AFFILIATEPLY.COM.
  • AFFILIATEPLY.COM will pay your affiliates, using the money in your AFFILIATE.COM account. In order for your program to remain active, You must keep in balance with AFFILIATEPLY.COM a positive dollar amount.
  • All offers that you promote on our network MUST be from your own site if you are paying per lead, click, impression or pay sale transactions. For example, if you place a video banner promoting an offer that is off of your site, and do not own that site, you cannot promote that offer. This is considered fraudulent activity, and your account is subject to immediate termination.
  • AFFILIATEPLY.COM will make every effort to distinguish, and squash out fraudulent affiliates and links. However, you should monitor your affiliate program closely, and notify us immediately if you feel that any fraudulent practices are being used.
  • If it is found during the initial setup process that our software will not work with your website configuration, we will refund all setup fees (if any). If you should choose to cancel before becoming active, for any other reason besides software incompatibility (as determined by AFFILIATEPLY.COM), we will refund your setup fee (if any), minus a $10 return fee. Once your site goes active on the AFFILIATEPLY.COM service, there are no refunds of the setup fee (if any) allowed – unless in the case of a material breach by AFFILIATEPLY.COM.
