Adware/Malware

All websites configured in the Network by an Affiliate must conform to generally acceptable advertising practices. Affiliate websites or promotional tools must not support, advertise or promote downloadable advertising software (commonly known as “adware” or “malware”) that initiates or installs without the end user’s action of consent. An Affiliate found to be using any forms of adware, malware or spyware will be immediately removed from the network, and commissions voided.

Any Affiliate of the Network using PPC to drive merchant traffic may not bid on merchant company name or merchant domain name. An Affiliate may not represent themselves as the merchant in PPC campaigns unless consent is given by the Merchant. Commission earnings that originate from a company name or domain name bid violation are subject to withholding.

The Network prohibits any Affiliate from representing themselves as the merchant by any means, or from using any web programming code or techniques to frame the Merchant’s site within an end user’s browser. If an Affiliate chooses to frame Merchant’s sites it must be with Merchant consent before doing so.

Non-Affiliate Owned Web Properties

With the exception of pay per click, search engine marketing, and influencer social postings, an Affiliate may only promote Merchants on web properties they own or operate. Any Affiliate is prohibited from placing tracking code from the Network, in or on all third-party web properties including, but not limited to, forums, message boards, social networks, user groups, blog comment areas, and classified services, unless consent is given in advance.

Any software that masks or hides referring information or URLs in any way is prohibited from use. Any Affiliate, at the request of LVR, must disclose and provide accurate information on business models and online or offline promotional techniques used to drive traffic, referrals and conversions to Merchant Campaign’s. Failure to provide transparency may result in the suspension of an Influencer account until such disclosure is made.

FTC Disclosures

Affiliate is required to follow the Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising from the Federal Trade Commission. The guide sets forth the general principles the FTC uses to evaluate endorsements and testimonials, together with examples illustrating the application of those principles. The guide does not purport to cover every possible use of endorsements in advertising. Whether a particular endorsement or testimonial is deceptive will depend on the specific factual circumstances of the advertisement at issue.

Cyber, Domain or Typo-Squatting

Affiliate may not use a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark or copyright belonging to another company or individual. Any relevant activities including, but limited to, Typosquatting, URL Hijacking, Cybersquatting or Brandjacking are not permitted.
