Thank you.

    By signing up for the Surely Affiliate Program (“Program”) you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”).

    Surely reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Continued use of the Program after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. 

    We have the right to terminate an Account for any reason we see fit at any time. Violation of any of the terms below will result in the termination of your Account and forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments earned during the violation. 

    DEFINITIONS

    As used in these terms and conditions: (i) “We”, “us”, or “our” refers to Surely and our website; (ii) “you” or “your” refers to the Affiliate; (iii) “our website” refers to the Surely properties located at www.hisurely.com; (iv) “your website” refers to any websites that you will link to our website; (v) “Program” refers to the Surely Affiliate Program.

    ENROLLMENT

    After receiving your application, we will review your website and notify you of your acceptance or rejection into our Program. Please allow up to one week for your application to be reviewed. We reserve the right to reject any application, however we encourage you to contact us if you feel we have made an incorrect decision. Including all the websites that you use in your profile will help us make a better decision. 

    GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE:

    You must operate a website or business in the United States or Canada.

    You must have an established website and/or social media following.

    You must be in compliance with our Terms of Service.

    WEBSITE RESTRICTIONS

    Your participating website(s) may not:

    1. Infringe on our or any anyone else’s intellectual property, publicity, privacy or other rights. 

    2. Violate any law, rule or regulation.

    3. Contain any content that is threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, harmful to minors, or contains nudity, pornography or sexually explicit materials.

    4. Contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data, or personal information.

    5. Contain software or use technology that attempts to intercept, divert or redirect Internet traffic to or from any other website, or that potentially enables the diversion of affiliate commissions from another website. This includes toolbars, browser plug-ins, extensions and add-ons.


    LINKING TO OUR WEBSITE

    Upon acceptance into the Program, links will be made available to you through the affiliate interface. Your acceptance in our program means you agree to and abide by the following.  

    1. You will only use linking code obtained from the affiliate interface without manipulation.

    2. All domains that use your affiliate link must be listed in your affiliate profile.

    3. Your Website will not in any way copy, resemble, or mirror the look and feel of our Website. You will also not use any means to create the impression that your Website is our Website or any part of our Website including, without limitation, framing of our Website in any manner. 

    4. You may not engage in cookie stuffing or include pop-ups, false or misleading links on your website. In addition, wherever possible, you will not attempt to mask the referring URL information (i.e. the page from where the click is originating). 

    5. Using redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain is prohibited. 

    If you are found redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. This does not include using “out” redirects from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.


    MID-CHECKOUT COMMISSION REDUCTION & OVERWRITE RULE

    Surely uses a dynamic pixel system that may make changes to the standard commission in the case of a mid-checkout referral, which is defined as a cookie that is set within a set amount of time prior to the purchase. By reducing our commission on these types of referrals and by closely monitoring the quality of traffic we receive from each affiliate, we may be able to pay out higher commissions for driving new customers and traffic. This logic also gives full credit to the first referring affiliate in the case that a second affiliate enters within a set amount of time prior to the purchase. Mid-checkout commission and overwrite rules are subject to change.


    PPC GUIDELINES

    If you are enrolled in our Program and participate in PPC advertising, you must adhere to our PPC guidelines as follows:

    1. You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms (which are identified below), including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content based campaigns on Google, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook or any other network.

    2. You may not use our trademarked terms in sequence with any other keyword (i.e. Surely Coupons).

    3. You may not use our trademarked terms in your ad title, ad copy, display name or as the display URL.

    4. You may not direct link to our website from any Pay Per Click ad or use redirects that yield the same result. Affiliate links must be directed to an actual page on your website. 

    5. You may not bid in any manner appearing higher than Surely for any search term in position 1-5 in any auction style pay-per-click advertising program 


    If you automate your PPC campaigns, it is your responsibility to exclude our trademarked terms from your program and we strongly suggest you add our trademarked terms as negative keywords. We have a strict no tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. You will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.

    Trademarked Terms: Surely, Surely Wines

    COUPON GUIDELINES

    If you are enrolled in our Program and your Website promotes coupon codes, you must adhere to our Coupon Guidelines as follows:

    1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the affiliate program.

    2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (i.e. first-time customers only) will result in removal from the program.

    3. Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date and code. 

    4. You may NOT use any technology that covers up the coupon code and generates the affiliate click by revealing the code(s).

    5. You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from any non-affiliate marketing channel, including coupon codes from our email, paid search or any other non-affiliate advertising campaigns. 

    6. You may NOT give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website to redeem.  For example, if all items on the site have free shipping over $100, you may not turn this into an offer that infers that the customer must click from your site to get this deal.


    Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc. and/or your conversion rate exceeds 25%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders. 

    COUPON ATTRIBUTION & AUTHENTICATION

    Affiliates whose primary business is posting coupons, who are viewed by the program as being a coupon site, and/or who are tagged as coupon in our system, may not be paid commissions for sales generated without a corresponding valid coupon code. Valid codes are defined as codes that are made available to the affiliate channel in general, through newsletters or the Deals Database in Performance Horizon, and directly or privately to affiliates. Coupon codes that are not real, expired, not specific (i.e. up to 40% off sale items) or are long-term sitewide offers that do not require a code may not be considered valid codes and the affiliate will not be given commission on these orders.  

    SUB-AFFILIATE NETWORKS

    Promoting Surely through a sub-affiliate network is permitted, however you must be completely transparent with regards to where traffic from your sub-affiliates originated. Sub-affiliate networks must ensure that all sub-affiliates promoting the Surely program adhere to our program terms and conditions. This includes restrictions on advertising through toolbars, browser extensions, and through any paid placements such as a pay-per-click campaigns. Sub-affiliate networks must also receive approval prior to allowing any type of coupon sub-affiliate to promote the Surely program.

    Failure to comply with our sub-affiliate network terms may result in a loss and/or reduction of commission from sales made through any sub-affiliate that does not comply with our program terms.

    DOMAIN NAMES

    Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website is strictly prohibited i.e. surely.website.com or www.hisurely-coupons.com

    ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY

    If you intend to promote our Program via e-mail campaigns, you must adhere to the following:

    1. Abide by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187) with respect to our Program.

    2. E-mail must be sent on your behalf and must not imply that the e-mail is being sent on behalf of Surely.

    3. We must be sent a copy of the e-mail. 

    SOCIAL MEDIA

    Promotion on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms is permitted following these general guidelines: 

    1. You ARE allowed to promote offers to your own lists; more specifically, you’re welcome to use your affiliate links on your own Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages. For example:  You may post, “25% off sale at Surely through Wednesday with code XXXXX25.” 

    2. You ARE PROHIBITED from posting your affiliate links on Surely Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. company pages in an attempt to turn those links into affiliate sales.

    3. You ARE PROHIBITED from running Facebook ads with Surely trademarked company name.

    4. You ARE PROHIBITED from creating a social media account that includes Surely trademark in the page name and/or username i.e. facebook.com/Surely-coupons

    OPERATIONS OUTSIDE UNITED STATES

    If you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in other countries, you will follow the laws of those countries.  For example, you will comply with the European Union’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive if you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in one or more of the European Union countries.

    REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY

    Surely takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions. 

    Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy. 

    1. You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.    

    2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile. 

    3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

    If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

    FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

    You must include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog/posts, or social media posts where affiliate links for our affiliate program are posted as an endorsement or review, and where it is not clear that the link is a paid advertisement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or from the affiliate management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure.

    • Disclosures must be made at the beginning of the claims and may not appear solely in a “Terms of Use”, “Legal”, “About Us” or other linked page.

    • Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure. (e.g. disclosure should be visible before the jump).

    • Pop-up, hover state and button disclosures are prohibited.

    • Disclosure policy applies to all social media, even when space is restricted (e.g., tweets)

    • Disclosures should be made in the same medium as the claim (e.g. video, text)

    For more information about FTC disclosure requirements, please review the FTC's "Dot Com Disclosures" Guidelines at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf (example 21) and the FTC's Endorsement Guidelines at http://business.ftc.gov/advertising-and-marketing/endorsements  

    If you engage in so called “native advertising”, you further agree to comply with the FTC’s Enforcement Policy Statement on Deceptively Formatted Advertisements at https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/896923/151222deceptiveenforcement.pdf  and the related guidelines.
