Affiliate Program Affiliate Program
The FlagsForYou.com Affiliate Terms
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individuals or entitys participation in the FlagsForYou.com Affiliate Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we", "us", or "our" means or any of our affiliate companies, as the case may be, and "you" means the applicant. "Flagsforyou.com" means the site that has its primary home page identified by the URL www.flagsforyou.com, and "site" means a World Wide Web site. "Your site" means any site that you will link to the FlagsForYou.com site(and which you will identify in your Program application). Save for our obligation to pay referral fees under Section 4, which may be performed solely by us, we may cause any of our obligations under this Agreement to be fulfilled by any of our Affiliates (defined below), on our behalf.

1.Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via the FlagsForYou.com Site. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of its acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include, but are not limited to, those that:
  • promote sexually explicit materials
  • promote violence
  • promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  • promote illegal activities
  • include "flagsforyou," any other trademark of FlagsForYou.com, Inc. or its affiliates, or variations or misspellings of any of them, in their URLs to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g., ".com", ".net", ".uk", etc.)
  • otherwise violate intellectual property rights.


By participating in the Program you agree that you will not engage in any such activities. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement. Participation in the Program is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law. For example, minors are not allowed to participate in the Program.

2.Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program, we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license for the duration of the term of this Agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals from your site to the FlagsForYou.com Site, to provide on your site one or more of the following types of links to the FlagsForYou.com Site:
  • Product Links
  • Category links


You acknowledge that, by participating in the Affiliate Program and placing any of the above links within your site, we may receive information from or about visitors to your site or communications between your site and those visitors. Your participation in the Program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for our access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in the Privacy Notice on the FlagsForYou.com Site.

Except for the license granted under this Section 2, you do not obtain any rights under this Agreement in any intellectual property, including, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to the Special Links, link formats, technical specifications, guidelines or graphical artwork referenced above, or with respect to the FlagsForYou.com domain name.

You also acknowledge that we may crawl or otherwise monitor your site for the purpose of ensuring the quality and reliability of links on your site (for example, to detect links that are broken or non-functional, links to products that are out of stock or otherwise unavailable, etc.). Therefore, you agree that we and our corporate affiliates may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we and our corporate affiliates may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).

You also acknowledge that as a participant in the Program, we may from time to time send you email updates about the Program. By participating in the Program, you consent to our sending you these email updates.

Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will: (a) not, in connection with this Agreement, display or reference on your site, any trademark or logo of any third party seller on the FlagsForYou.com Site; (b) use any data, images, text, or other information obtained by you from us or the FlagsForYou.com Site in connection with this Agreement ("Content") only in a lawful manner and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (c) not modify or alter any Content that consists of a graphic image, other than to resize it; (d) not edit any Content that consists of text, other than to shorten its length; (f) not sell, redistribute, sublicense or transfer any Content; (g) not use any Content in a manner intended to send sales to any site other than the FlagsForYou.com Site; and (h) promptly delete any Content that is no longer displayed on the FlagsForYou.com Site or that we notify you is no longer available for your use.

3.Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow links from your site to the FlagsForYou.com Site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations, and returns, and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase Products by using Special Links from your site to the FlagsForYou.com Site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion.

4.Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site to the FlagsForYou.com Site, and add the Product to his or her shopping cart or purchase the Product during a session. The session ends upon one of the following events: (a) 24 hours elapses from the customers initial click-through, (b) the customer orders the Product, or (c) the customer follows a third partys Special Link.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Special Links between your site and the FlagsForYou.com Site are properly formatted. We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site and the FlagsForYou.com Site are not properly formatted.

We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customers Shopping Cart after the customer has reentered the FlagsForYou.com Site (other than through a Special Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the FlagsForYou.com Site. In addition, gift certificates are not eligible to earn referral fees.

You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any kind. This includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by you or your friends, relatives, or associates in any manner. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as "Qualifying Products."

In addition, you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Special Links on your site to access the FlagsForYou.com Site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access the FlagsForYou.com Site); (b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (c) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of the FlagsForYou.com Site; (d) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other transactions of any kind on the FlagsForYou.com Site on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (e) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring; (f) other than providing Special Links on your site in accordance with this Agreement, post or serve any advertisements or promotional content promoting the FlagsForYou.com Site or otherwise around or in conjunction with the display of the FlagsForYou.com Site (e.g., through any "framing" technique or technology or pop-up or pop-under windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action; (g) attempt to circumvent the referral fee schedule or artificially increase your referral fees (e.g. by intentionally featuring, purchasing or requesting or encouraging any third party to purchase low-price items offered on the FlagsForYou.com Site (as determined by us) for the purpose of exceeding any referral fee threshold or by causing any page of the FlagsForYou.com Site to open in a customers browser other than as a result of the customer clicking on a Special Link on your site); (h) attempt to intercept or re-direct (including, without limitation, via user-installed software) traffic from or on, or divert referral fees from, any web site that participates in the Program; or (i) seek to purchase or register any keywords, search terms or other identifiers that include the word "FlagsForYou" or variations thereof ("Proprietary Terms") for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service. From time to time we may request that you cause any applicable Web search provider to exclude Proprietary Terms from keywords used to display your advertising content in association with search results, assuming the provider of such Web search engine offers such exclusion capabilities. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the foregoing activities or, as the case may be, refused promptly to comply with a request from us to exclude Proprietary Terms from any keyword as mentioned above, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.
