  1. Submitting Your Application

2.1. Once your registration is approved, you may be provided with an affiliate link (“Affiliate Link”). 

2.2. XMONDO reserves the right to review your placement and approve the usage of your Affiliate Links. You may use graphics and texts provided to you by us. You may not use your own link to make purchases. You will not earn commission from orders placed under your Affiliate Link by customers residing in your household. You may not knowingly allow others to repeatedly use your Affiliate Link to earn commission.

2.3. The maintenance and updating of your site and/or social media (collectively the “Sites”) is your responsibility.

3.3. FTC Guidelines & Spamming

Advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to XMONDO and could damage our name. Affiliates must abide by all local, state, and federal laws and regulations including the Federal Trade Commission Act and the CAN-SPAM Act. The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requires certain disclosures in online marketing to improve consumer trust and prevent deceptive advertising techniques, and requires an affiliate to clearly and conspicuously disclose an affiliate’s relationship with a company when making any promotional statements about such company or its products/services. You are solely responsible for this disclosure and you acknowledge and agree to comply with the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf). You hereby agree to immediately correct any non-compliant disclosures upon notification thereof by XMONDO. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any non-compliant affiliate. Any pending commissions owed will not be paid if your account is terminated due to spamming, solicitation, or failure to abide by the FTC guidelines.

 

3.4. Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE)

You may use mailings to contact your customers so long as you abide by all local, state, and federal laws and regulations and so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website and the recipient has the option to opt-out of future mailings for themselves.

 

3.5. Copyright and Trademark Infringement

XMONDO reserves the right to seek legal action against retail partners and Affiliates that infringe our copyrights, registered and unregistered trademarks, and patented and patent pending products. You acknowledge that you will not promote, manufacture, distribute or sell products that replicate the exclusive designs and functions owned by XMONDO. Failure to adhere may result in removal of the Affiliate Program. XMONDO will legally pursue all parties associated with the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of counterfeit or patent infringing products.

In XMONDO’s sole discretion, Affiliates may be permitted to use active coupon codes provided exclusively through the XMONDO Affiliate Program.
