Affiliate Agreement: This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the HUDforeclosed.com affiliate program. In this agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement, HUDforeclosed.com refers to the product owner and publisher, HUDforeclosed.com. By joining the HUDforeclosed.com affiliate program, you agree and approve of the terms and conditions of this Policy and subsequent amendments to this Policy.
The HUDforeclosed.com affiliate program is administered through a third party affiliate management company called Commission Junction (www.CommissionJunction.com).
To enroll in the affiliate program, you must become a member of Commission Junction.
Affiliate URL: You will be issued a special URL once you become a member of Commission Junction as an affiliate of HUDforeclosed.com, which will be unique to you and you only, and will allow you to be paid for affiliate referrals. In addition, this unique web address will be accompanied by traffic and sales statistics within your Commission Junction account.
Commissions: Affiliates will receive the then current commission for sign-ups placed through properly coded Affiliate links. Word of mouth referrals will not result in an affiliate commission being generated. Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified, correctly structured Affiliate links. Properly coded links are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate.
Payment: HUDforeclosed.com pays affiliates on a monthly basis via Commission Junction, provided the minimum commission threshold of $25 is met. More details can be accessed through your Commission Junction account.
Anti-SPAM Policy: HUDforeclosed.com strictly prohibits Affiliates or any other entities from using spam e-mail and other forms of Internet abuse (including forum spam and blog spam) to seek sales. All lists to which an Affiliate markets the HUDforeclosed.com brand must be 100% opt-in. Spam is defined as including, but not limited to, the following:
Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the sender does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient through an opt-in subscription.
Messages posted to Usenet, forums and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, posted in excessive volume, or posted against forum/message board rules. Be conscious of forum rules! If a forum owner or moderator complains that an affiliate has spammed, the affiliate account may be permanently terminated after investigation.
Content posted on free blog websites for the sole purpose of keyword spamming, or comments posted to legitimate blogs that violate the comment policy of the blog owner.
Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or "Instant Messaging" system (such as ICQ);
Certain off-line activities that, while not considered Spam, are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations, or laws.
In addition, all Affiliate email MUST contain the following CAN-SPAM compliant elements:
- A valid reply-to address;
- No false or misleading subject lines;
- A clear and conspicuously placed Affiliate unsubscribe link that allows a recipient to remove their email address within one click and/or a one-click email address to which recipients may send unsubscribe requests, AND the HUDforeclosed.com unsubscribe link;
- Affiliate's physical mailing address, as well as the physical mailing address of HUDforeclosed.com.
Further, Affiliates MUST download the HUDforeclosed.com suppression file and purge those email addresses from any and all messaging sent to Affiliate lists promoting the HUDforeclosed.com brand and referencing the HUDforeclosed.com domain or Affiliate link.
HUDforeclosed.com, may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions:
- Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, HUDforeclosed.com administration will investigate the complaint, and if necessary, will then terminate the affiliate account of the individual implicated in the abuse. Termination results in the immediate closure of the member and affiliate account, the loss of all referrals, and the forfeiture of any unpaid money on account. At the discretion of HUDforeclosed.com, termination may not only result in being banned from the affiliate program, but also being banned from ANY other internal affiliate programs.
If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please forward all relevant evidence to abuse@HUDforeclosed.com. Be sure to including the following in your report:
- Spammer's email address
- A copy of the spam email, complete with message header
