By participating in the Uplifted Yoga Inc. Affiliate program, you are agreeing to all of the following Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”).

HOW DOES THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM ACTUALLY WORK?

Our affiliate program runs through our E-commerce software. The system is set up on a “first clicked” basis. This means that the affiliate link a customer clicked on FIRST (the one that drove awareness of the product) will get credit for the sale. Our system can recognize when people purchase using an affiliate link or not.

Here’s an example of this in action….

Sue shares the Uplifted YTT Opt-In Page (using her affiliate link) on her Facebook page on Monday. People click through, arrive and begin moving through the email funnel, but don’t make a purchase.

Now, let’s say some of the people that checked out Sue’s Facebook promotion are also on another online influencer’s mailing list: Molly.

On Tuesday, Molly writes a persuasive blog post that she mails out to her list. The readers who had seen Sue’s earlier Facebook post click through and some of them make a purchase. Sue will get credit for the sale, because her affiliate link was the first one clicked.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M ELIGIBLE?

There are 3 basic requirements for participating in a Uplifted Yoga Inc. Affiliate program:
– Affiliates must be 18 years or older to participate.
– Affiliates must be in good standing with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and Uplifted Yoga Inc.
– Affiliates must be in compliance with all FTC guidelines, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Uplifted Yoga Inc reserves the unconditional right to accept or deny any Affiliate who enters the Promotion via the signup forms on our website, or who drives traffic to Uplifted Yoga Inc.’s brands and websites via products offering Affiliate payout (the “Sites”).

The Affiliate agrees and understands that if any of their communications associated with or for this promotion (marketing, websites, blog posts, videos, audios, emails, Tweets, Facebook posts, etc.) are deemed offensive or inappropriate, that Affiliate will be deemed, at the sole discretion of the Promoter, ineligible to participate in any and all Affiliate promotions. The Affiliate in question will then be disqualified from receiving any further commission, recognition, communication or compensation from Uplifted Yoga Inc.

The Affiliate may also be immediately removed from any & all promotions and Affiliate programs (and will be in violation of this Agreement) if, at the sole discretion of the Promoter, the Affiliate’s marketing:

a) contains unlawful material, including but not limited to materials that may violate another’s intellectual property rights, or links to a site that contains such material;
b) contains information regarding, promotes or links to a site that provides information about or promotes illegal activity;
c) promotes, depicts or links to material that promotes or depicts discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or age;
d) contains, promotes or links to sexually explicit or violent material;
e) uses the Promoter’s banners, brand name, likeness, images, and videos, on their own websites, thus creating market and consumer confusion (which is usually referred to as copyright or trademark infringement, and is illegal). In short: you may not present our banners, images or videos as if they are your own on your own site’s or any other site’s, as it may cause a customer to opt-in thinking they are signing up to receive our communications rather than yours. We firmly believe that if you wish to generate sales, it is in your best interest to establish your own identity, voice, brand and sites, and authentically promote our program(s) in your own way – not posing as its creators;
f) is, for any other reason, deemed to be unsuitable by the Promoter;
g) offers a cash incentive or discount on product(s) as a means of promotion;
h) runs any paid ad with the terms Uplifted Yoga Inc, any of the URLs we own, and/or the name of any product offering Affiliate commissions.

Uplifted Yoga Inc. reserves the right to disqualify and revoke an Affiliate’s standing from any Affiliate program, cancel pending commissions based on inappropriate behavior or marketing by the Affiliate, and to amend this Promotion or Agreement at any time without notification to Affiliate.

In short: please only use ethical, honest means to promote our product(s). Should a creative thunderbolt strike with an idea for using the Uplifted Yoga name, or any of our products in a unique way to promote our products or programs, please request written permission from support@brettlarkin.com

AFFILIATE LINKS

Affiliate links and any and all promotional materials necessary to promote and offer the Product to the Affiliate’s customers via the Affiliate’s Sites or emails, including but not limited to banners, graphics, or text ads are provided on the Affiliate site for all relevant products.

The Affiliate may ONLY utilize their unique link, provided by the Promoter, on the Affiliate’s own websites or emails. The Affiliate may NOT post their link on other websites that are not owned or maintained by the Affiliate or the Affiliate’s brand, with the exception of ads or social media placements. Spamming the internet with links outside of Affiliate’s direct email list, websites or social media pages will be considered a violation of this Agreement and result in a denial of all Affiliate benefits, prizes and commissions.

Links are intended to drive new customers to the Promotion. The Affiliate may not use unsolicited commercial email, spam, search engine spam, or other illegal or unethical means by which to generate referral commissions.
The Affiliate may not purchase the Product through their link for personal use and receive a commission on that sale.

The Affiliate also may not purchase the Product through another person’s affiliate link.

All customer information collected during the Promotion shall be owned by the Promoter and it is at the sole discretion of the Promoter whether or not the customer information will be shared with the Affiliate.

COMMISSION DETAILS

The Uplifted Yoga Inc. team will monitor sales and the system very closely to ensure everything is working properly. Therefore, all affiliate reporting that states who brought in each sale are final. If they do not show up in our system as your sale, you will not get credit for the sale.

In order to avoid a mistake of this nature, make sure you are absolutely clear in your promotional material, that customers you are referring to the product must use your special link to purchase. It’s very important that you are clear when promoting to friends and your list that purchases must be made via your special link.

Commissions are not paid on, and will not include, a single sale to the Affiliate themselves. In other words, the Affiliate cannot receive a commission by purchasing the product themselves, through their own link.

Affiliate commissions are counted and final numbers are deemed final at the sole discretion and decision of the Promoter. Promoter also reserves the right to change the dates of the commission payout.

Commission will be paid out to the Affiliate by the Promoter via Paypal once all tuition fees have been collected by their student. Affiliate commissions will not be paid based on any sales or amounts that are attributed to spam, credit card fraud, or returned Product. If a sale is canceled or refunded for any reason, any paid commission will be deducted from the amount owed to the Affiliate.

Promoter is NOT responsible for the Affiliate using or maintaining their Affiliate links and only sales tracked through the Promoter’s system will count towards the Affiliate’s commissions. All sales and commission numbers are tallied by the Promoter and all final sales and commission numbers are at the sole discretion of the Promoter.

While the Promoter makes every reasonable effort to accurately track and pay commissions for all Affiliate sales, the Promoter is not responsible, nor under any circumstances will be held liable, for any technical difficulties, outside events, actions by other Affiliate, or other uncontrollable events that may disrupt or interfere with Promoter’s ability to track sales or pay commissions.

Under no circumstances will Promoter be held liable for any incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue or profit that results from the Affiliate’s participation in this program.

EARNINGS DISCLAIMER

The team at Uplifted Yoga Inc. works hard to ensure we accurately represent our Affiliate program and its earning potential. However, nothing on our Sites or in this agreement is a promise or guarantee of earnings. We cannot guarantee that you will get any results, or earn any money whatsoever. This is not a “get rich quick” scheme.

The Affiliate alone is responsible for their strategies, actions and results in life and business. Any forward-looking statements outlined on our sites or in our Promotions are simply our hopes or forecasts for future potential, and thus are not guarantees or promises for actual performance. These statements are simply our opinion.

Each Affiliate’s level of success in attaining results is dependent upon a number of factors including: business savvy, marketing knowledge, dedication, network, and subscriber list. Because these factors differ so widely according to individuals, we cannot guarantee any degree of success, income level, or ability to earn revenue.

As stipulated by FTC law, we make no guarantees that you will achieve any results from our ideas and we offer no professional legal or financial advice.

SPAM AND UNSOLICITED EMAIL WARNING

The Affiliate agrees to abide by all Federal Trade Commission Guidelines and the U.S. Federal Can-SPAM Act.

Uplifted Yoga Inc. has a firm zero tolerance policy toward any Affiliate who spams any party or individual. As an Affiliate you are agreeing NOT to send any unsolicited email to any party in promotion of any of our products. Should an Affiliate be caught spamming, they will be removed from the Affiliate program altogether, and any commissions or pending commissions will be canceled and/or forfeited.

Spam is defined as emailing or posting to anyone who has not requested information via email or a website. This also includes “spamming search engines” with links.

RESTRICTIONS

The Affiliate may not use ANY copyright, trademark, service mark, or general branding of the Promoter without full disclosure and permission of the Promoter.

Affiliate may not:

a) frame the Affiliate’s website to look like the Promoter’s website or to utilize the Promoter’s branding in any way that would confuse customers or the general public as to who is hosting or promoting such a website;
b) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to Affiliate’s relationship with Promoter, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring;
c) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to Promoter by any person or entity;
d) seek to purchase or register any domains or other identifiers that include variations on the trade or service marks or names of the Promoter intended to approximate misspellings or typographical mistakes of same or which otherwise would constitute typo or domain squatting, including variations thereof for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service unless otherwise agreed to by the Promoter. Promoter may cancel the Affiliate participation in this program, withhold or cancel commissions, or take any other action at its sole discretion should the Affiliate carry out any of the behavior above or fail to operate with integrity or within the guidelines of the FTC;
e) seek to purchase or register any keywords, search terms or other identifiers related to the trademarks of the Promoter or the trade or service marks or names of Promoter’s primary competitors, including misspellings or variations thereof for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service unless otherwise agreed to by the Promoter.
