Most of this goes without saying, but we have to set rules so that everybody is playing by them.

Take a moment to look these over and make sure you are following the rules.

1) No spamming.

Duh. You MUST abide by United States law, which means no spamming.

If you do not have explicit permission (i.e. you own the list) to email someone or have a personal relationship with them, don’t. Also, don’t spam message boards, forums, or other places. If you are an active member of a community and the rules allow you to share affiliate links, by all means, do so.

When in doubt, just ask us.

2) You must disclose that you’re an affiliate partner.

It’s important to be upfront and disclose that you are a promotional partner and that you will receive a commission for any sales that you refer.

It’s also a legal requirement as per FTC rules.

So you agree to be upfront in your disclosures throughout the promotion.

3) No cookie-stuffing.

If you don’t know what this is, you have nothing to worry about.

If you DO know what it is, don’t do it.

4a) Don’t ask us to change commissions for a sale.

Our affiliate program is run on the industry-standard last click cookie system. We also have an experienced tech team who are ensuring everything will run smoothly.

That’s why it’s important for you to agree upfront that you won’t ask us to change affiliate commissions even if you think someone meant to sign up under your link (and they ended up signing up under someone else’s instead).

4b) If the customer requests a change, we reserve the right to adjust associated commissions if necessary.

If a customer unknowingly makes an error and requests to be assigned to another partner, we reserve the right to make changes to a referrer when the customer writes in requesting such a change.

We’ll only make changes when the customer emails us requesting the change. We won’t make changes to a referrer otherwise.

5) Don’t use Matt’s image or likeness in paid advertising.

We will provide you plenty of images and swipe copy that you can use on your blog and in your communications.

However, in order to prevent confusion in the marketplace, we are going to ask that you do not run any Facebook ads or retargeting ads using Matt’s image, brand or likeness (including course product shots).

You can create ads using your face, brand or likeness. You can also create ads regarding your bonus package (if you have one). If you have any questions about this, please ask.

OK, so that covers the rules. Any questions? Just ask 🙂

This is going to be AWESOME!
