LINKING TO OUR WEBSITE

Upon acceptance into the Program, links will be made available to you through the Rewardful Affiliate/Ambassador interface. Your acceptance in our program means you agree to the following:
• You will only use linking code obtained from the Affiliate/Ambassador interface and will no manipulate them.
• All domains that use your Affiliate/Ambassador link must be listed in your Affiliate/Ambassador profile.
• Your Website will not in any way copy, resemble, or mirror the look and feel of Fotor. You will also not use any means to create the impression that your Website is our Website or any part of our Website including, without limitation, framing of our Website in any manner.
• You may not engage in cookie stuffing or include pop-ups, false or misleading links on your website. In addition, wherever possible, you will not attempt to mask the referring url information (i.e. the page where the click is originating from).
• Using redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain is prohibited.
If you are found redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. This does not include using "out" redirects from the same domain where the Affiliate/Ambassador link is placed.

PPC GUIDELINES

If you are enrolled in our Program and participate in PPC advertising, you must adhere to our PPC guidelines as follows:
• You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms (which are identified below), including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content based campaigns on Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other network.
• You may not use our trademarked terms in sequence with any other keyword (i.e. Fotor Coupons, Fotor Photo Editing).
• You may not use our trademarked terms in your ad title, ad copy, display name or as the display url.
• You may not direct link to our website from any Pay Per Click ad or use redirects that yield the same result. Affiliates/Ambassadors must be directed to an actual page on your website.
• You may not bid in any manner appearing higher than Fotor for any search term in position 1-5 in any auction style pay-per-click advertising program.
If you automate your PPC campaigns, it is your responsibility to exclude our trademarked terms from your program and we strongly suggest you add our trademarked terms as negative keywords. We have a strict no-tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. You will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.
Trademarked Terms: FOTOR, Fotor, fotor, Fotor.com, fotor.com

COUPON GUIDELINES

Fotor offers coupon codes which discount our premium subscriptions during holiday seasons. However, in the event we provide a coupon code or a free premium trial, you must adhere to our Coupon Guidelines:
1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the Affiliate/Ambassador program or network or that are displayed on our website(s).
2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (ie first time customers only) will result in removal from the program.
3. Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date and code.
4. You may NOT use any technology that covers up the coupon code and generates the Affiliate/Ambassador click by revealing the code(s).
5. You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-Affiliate/Ambassador advertising, customer e-mails, paid search, or any other campaign.
6. You may NOT give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website in order to redeem.
7. On click through, you must link directly to our website. Framing of our website is strictly prohibited.
8. Cookie Stuffing/Forced Clicks: You must not mislead customers into clicking on an offer or coupon that does not exist or practice similarly deceptive tactics that are generally known as "cookie stuffing or forced clicks." These include, but are not limited to:
• Using knowingly expired offers or presenting offers that do not exist or are not Affiliate/Ambassador offers
• Making claims that a user must click on a link first to activate or receive an offer.
• Presenting a button that claims to show all offers that sets the Affiliate/Ambassador cookie in the background
• Technology that generates a click or sets the cookie from the action of copying a coupon code or through a pop under.
Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc. and/or your conversion rate exceeds 10%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders.

DOMAIN NAMES

Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website is strictly prohibited (i.e. www.fotor-coupons.com).
ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY
You shall not create, publish, distribute, or print any written material that makes reference to our Program without first submitting that material to us and receiving our prior written consent. If you intend to promote our Program via e-mail campaigns, you must adhere to the following:
1. Abide by anti-spam laws and regulations.
2. E-mail must be sent on your behalf and must not imply that the e-mail is being sent on behalf of or by Fotor.
3. E-mails must first be submitted to us for approval prior to being sent or we must be sent a copy of the e-mail.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Promotion on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms is permitted following these general guidelines:
1. You ARE allowed to promote offers to your own lists; more specifically, you’re welcome to use your Affiliate/Ambassador links on your own Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages. For example: You may post, "Try Fotor for all of your photo editing and graphical needs."
2. You ARE PROHIBITED from posting your Affiliate/Ambassador links on Fotor’s Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. company pages in an attempt to turn those links into Affiliate/Ambassador sales.

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY

Fotor foresees a very low reversal rate, which we hope to foster through open communication with our Affiliates/Ambassadors. However, we reserve the right to reverse any order due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions.
Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.
• You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.
• You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile.
• You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.
If any of the above case applies, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each Affiliate/Ambassador to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

We know any glowing endorsement of Fotor is from the heart but you still need to include a disclosure statement within any and all pages/posts where Affiliate/Ambassador links for our Affiliate/Ambassador program are posted as an endorsement or review. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or the Affiliate/Ambassador management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure.
