Affiliate Script Terms


The terms and conditions for affiliate marketing typically outline the agreement between the affiliate (the individual or entity promoting products or services) and the merchant (the company selling the products or services). Here are some common elements found in affiliate marketing terms and conditions:

  1. Commission Structure: This section specifies how the affiliate will be compensated for sales or leads generated through their referrals. It outlines the percentage of the sale or flat fee that the affiliate will receive.

  2. Payment Terms: Details regarding when and how the affiliate will be paid, including the payment schedule, payment methods, and any minimum payment thresholds that must be met before payments are issued.

  3. Cookie Duration: Defines the length of time that a cookie (a tracking mechanism) placed on the user's browser will remain valid. This determines how long the affiliate will receive credit for a sale after the initial referral.

  4. Responsibilities of the Affiliate: This section outlines what is expected of the affiliate, including requirements for promoting the merchant's products or services, adhering to marketing guidelines, and using approved promotional materials.

  7. Intellectual Property Rights: Defines the ownership and permitted use of trademarks, logos, and other intellectual property belonging to the merchant.

  8. Liability: Specifies each party's liability in case of disputes, breaches of contract, or damages resulting from the affiliate's marketing activities.

  9. Modification of Terms: States whether the terms and conditions can be changed and how any modifications will be communicated to the affiliate.

  10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Determines which laws govern the agreement and where any legal disputes will be resolved.

  11. Indemnification: Clarifies that the affiliate agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the merchant from any liabilities, losses, or expenses arising from the affiliate's actions.

  12. Confidentiality: Obliges the affiliate to keep any proprietary or confidential information received from the merchant confidential.
