Affiliate application rejection
We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):
Affiliate applications for websites that sell, advertise or engage in pornography, phishing scams, spamming, illegal business practices or that include any material infringing on National or International Copyright will be rejected
Applications for websites that we do not believe are aligned with our industry or business may be rejected
Affiliate applicants with websites that re-sell any of our products will be rejected
Websites considered inappropriate by Lyndaz will be rejected
The applicant failed to provide, accurate and verifiable or truthful information on the application form e.g. full ( and real) name, valid email address, a valid & verifiable website URL, blog or social media handle, etc
Affiliate didn’t provide an accurate, concise description of the affiliates methods that will be used to promote our products and brand.
If we have reasons to believe the application has a different purpose than promoting our products and brand e.g. obtaining a backlink, spam, or any similar unethical practices.
Prohibited promotional methods
The forbidden promotional methods listed below are here to protect you, us, and our customers from any inappropriate or fraudulent activity.
- Paid advertising using your affiliate link or coupon code is prohibited. Buying ads through services like Google AdWords, social ads, or retargeting ads and using our brand keywords and your affiliate link will result in affiliate account deactivation.
- Any type of spam is prohibited – Links, ads, emails, comments etc. Please respect the posting rules of any 3rd-party websites you will use to promote us. This is not an exhaustive list of spam practices; if we conclude that your activity is spam, it is spam.
- Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited. This may result in referrals being rejected and/or your affiliate account being deactivated.
- Do not pretend to be professionally associated with us. False promotion to customers that you are endorsed or operated by Lyndaz is prohibited. Affiliates aren’t employees of Lyndaz and have no employee rights.
- Pretending to be ‘Lyndaz Dressmaking’ is prohibited. Cloning our website, copying it, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official ‘Lyndaz Dressmaking’ site is unethical and prohibited (this includes using services that automatically clone websites, or place them into iframes).
Consequences of using prohibited promotional methods
If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your application and any referrals will be rejected, and we may disable the affiliate account if one has been previously approved. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you in the instance that this occurs.
Inappropriate websites
The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.
By accepting these terms and conditions, you are providing your nonlegal agreement to abide by them. By registering and being approved as an affiliate in our affiliate program, you agree that your commissions are subject to approval before they are accepted and subsequently paid.
The affiliate relationship does not represent a professional or formal agreement, and as an affiliate, you are not an employee of Lyndaz. You agree that this is not a legally binding relationship and as a result, may not take legal action against Lyndaz. These affiliate terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications
Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Link. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we may provide with your Affiliate Link on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We may provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Lyndaz.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and Lyndaz. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and ours properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to Lyndaz placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Special Links.”
You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on any of Lyndaz products, occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
Affiliate links should point to the page of the product being promoted.
Referral fees/commissions and payment
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Identifying yourself as a Lyndaz Dressmaking Affiliate
You may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Lyndaz Dressmaking or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).
Payment schedule
You will be paid each month for the month before via PayPal or Direct Bank Transfer. There is a minimum of $50 for the first payout and no minimum afterwards. This is to avoid customers signing up and using the affiliate program for a one time deal or the signup bonus
Customer definition
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
