Affiliate Terms of Use

As an authorized affiliate (Affiliate) of Craft Dealz, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (Agreement). Please read the entire Agreement carefully before registering and promoting Craft Dealz as an Affiliate.

Your participation in the Program is solely to legally advertise our website to receive a commission on memberships and products purchased by individuals referred to Craft Dealz by your website or personal referrals.

Signing up for the Craft Dealz Affiliate Program (Program) indicates your acceptance of this Agreement and its terms and conditions.

Approval or Rejection of the Application

We reserve the right to approve or reject ANY Affiliate Program Application at our sole and absolute discretion. You will have no legal recourse against us for rejecting your Affiliate Program Application.

Commissions

For an Affiliate to receive a commission, the referred account must remain active for a minimum of 31 days. We pay referrals after 30 days, on the first week of the following month. Referrals made in January will be paid in the first week of March. This gives us time to calculate your earnings.

You cannot refer yourself and will not receive a commission on your accounts.

Payments will only be sent for transactions that have been completed. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.

Termination

Your affiliate application and status in the Program may be suspended or terminated for any of the following reasons:

  • Inappropriate advertisements (false claims, misleading hyperlinks, etc.).
  • Spamming (mass email, mass newsgroup posting, etc.).
  • Advertising on sites containing or promoting illegal activities.
  • Failure to disclose the affiliate relationship for any promotion that qualifies as an endorsement under existing Federal Trade Commission guidelines and regulations or any applicable state laws.
  • Violation of intellectual property rights. Craft Dealz reserves the right to require license agreements from those who employ trademarks of Craft Dealz to protect our intellectual property rights.
  • Offering rebates, coupons, or another form of promised kickbacks from your affiliate commission as an incentive. However, adding bonuses or bundling other products with Craft Dealz is acceptable.
  • Self-referrals, fraudulent transactions, suspected Affiliate fraud.

In addition to the previous, Craft Dealz reserves the right to terminate any Affiliate account at any time for any violations of this Agreement or for no reason.

You may use graphic and text links on your website and within your email. You may also advertise the Craft Dealz site in online and offline classified ads, magazines, and newspapers.

You may use the graphics and text we provided or create your own as long as they are deemed appropriate according to the conditions and not in violation as outlined in the Termination section.

Coupon and Deal Sites

Craft Dealz occasionally offers coupons to select affiliates and to our newsletter subscribers. If you’re not pre-approved / assigned a branded coupon, you’re not allowed to promote the coupon. Below are the terms that apply for any affiliate who is considering the promotion of our products with a deal or coupon:

  • Affiliates may not use misleading text on affiliate links, buttons, or images to imply anything besides currently authorized deals to the specific affiliate.
  • Affiliates may not bid on Craft Dealz Coupons, Craft Dealz Discounts, or other phrases implying coupons are available.
  • Affiliates may not generate pop-ups, pop-unders, iframes, frames, or any other seen or unseen actions that set affiliate cookies unless the user has expressed a clear and explicit interest in activating specific savings by clicking on a clearly marked link, button, or image for that particular coupon or deal. Your link must send the visitor to the merchant site.
  • Users must be able to see coupon/deal/savings information and details before an affiliate cookie is set (i.e., “click here to see coupons and open a window to merchant site” is NOT allowed).
  • Affiliate sites may not have “Click for (or to see) Deal/Coupon” or any variation when there are no coupons or deals available, and the click opens the merchant site or sets a cookie. Affiliates with such text on the merchant landing page will immediately be removed from the program.

Pay Per Click (PPC) Policy

PPC bidding is NOT allowed without prior written permission.
