Thank you for your interest in the Affilorama Affiliate Program. We are very excited to have you on board, but first it's important that we outline the details of the Affilorama Affiliate Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is not to bog you down with rules but to make sure that both you the Affiliate and our company have a clear understanding of what is permitted and acceptable. This way, we don't have to email you later on to tell you to stop doing something because you didn't realize it wasn't allowed. That wastes our time but it also wastes your time. The purpose of this Agreement is to set out how the Affilorama Affiliate Program works, what Affilorama's roles and responsibilities are and what they are not, how you the Affiliate will be paid commission by ClickBank through the ClickBank Affiliate Network, and what your roles and responsibilities as an Affiliate are.
This Agreement has been designed to protect both Affilorama and Affiliates of Affilorama. Please read carefully and if you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
