2. TERM

The term of this Agreement shall be exactly 1 year from the date of signing. At the end of the term, this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional 1-year term unless terminated by either party in accordance with Paragraph 3.

3. TERMINATION

Company or Affiliate may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing 7 days written notice to the other party; the date this notice is sent will be the “Termination Date”. Failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement will result in immediate termination of this Agreement by the Company and forfeiture by Affiliate of any accrued, unpaid commissions. Company shall pay any pending commissions owed to Affiliate through the Termination Date, if a termination of this Agreement occurs for any reason other than a violation of this Agreement on the part of the Affiliate. Upon termination by either party, Affiliate’s limited license to use the intellectual property of Company for the purpose of promoting the products and/or services offered through the Affiliate Program, will cease as of the Termination Date.

4. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

Upon acceptance of Affiliate’s application, Company will grant access to Affiliate to the Affiliate Program Facebook Group (“Facebook Group”). Within the Facebook Group, Company shall make available to Affiliate certain promotional graphics, button links, or text material for use on the Affiliate social media and website (the “Promotional Materials”). Affiliate shall display the Promotional Materials on Affiliate’s website prominently and as Affiliate sees fit, provided that the manner of display shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Affiliate shall also include a link from the Promotional Materials to Company’s website, as specified by the Company. 

5. AFFILIATE CONTENT

Affiliate is permitted to create materials to promote the Affiliate Programs and Company’s products (“Affiliate Content”). This may include graphics, video or text materials. All Affiliate Content must abide by the She’s Creating An Empire™ Brand Integrity and Style Guidelines. At any time, if Affiliate is uncertain of whether Affiliate Content is compliant with Brand Integrity and Style Guidelines, Affiliate may email support@shescreatinganempire.com. If, at any time, Company, in its sole discretion, determines that Affiliate Content is not compliant with Brand Integrity and Style Guidelines, or is inappropriate in any way, Affiliate agrees that Affiliate will remove such content as soon as possible. All requests for removal of Affiliate Content will be directed to Affiliate at the email address used during the registration.

6. USE OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

The Affiliate’s use and display of the Promotional Materials on the Affiliate’s website shall conform to the following terms, conditions and specifications:

 • Affiliate may only use the Promotional Materials for the purpose of promoting Company’s website (and the products and services available thereon), and for linking to Company’s website.

Such requests may be directed to support@shescreatinganempire.com. 

 • The Promotional Materials will be used to link only to Company’s website, to the specific web site page specified by Company.

7. PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS

Affiliate is free to promote Affiliate’s own web sites and social media channels, but any promotion that mentions Company could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. Affiliate should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Company. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to Company and could cause damage to Company’s name and reputation. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial channels and cross-posting to multiple channels at once. 

In addition, Affiliate may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents Affiliate’s identity, domain name, or return email address. Affiliate may use email marketing to promote Company so long as the recipient is already a subscriber of Affiliate, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings, which is also known as unsubscribing. Also, Affiliate may post to social media channels to promote Company so long as the channel specifically welcomes commercial messages. Affiliate is liable for determining if a social media platform accepts commercial messages. 

At all times, Affiliate must clearly represent itself and its web sites as independent from Company and fully disclose its status as Affiliate. If it comes to the attention of Company that Affiliate is spamming, Company will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to Affiliate will not be paid if this Agreement is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

Affiliates that, among other keywords, bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as Melanie Greenough, MelanieGreenough.com, She’s Creating An Empire™ or SCAE,  and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to Company’s website, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from the Affiliate Program. Company will do everything possible to contact Affiliate prior to the ban. However, Company reserves the right to expel any trademark violator from the Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.

Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Company’s site (i.e., no page from Company’s site or any of Company’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Company site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Company’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

8. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Company grants Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to (i) access Company’s site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such links, to use Company’s Affiliate Program logos, trade names, trademarks, and similar identifying material (collectively, the "Licensed Materials") that Company provides to Affiliate or authorize for such purpose.
