You must have a PayPal Verified account. It’s best to have a Business or Premiere account, as this lifts restrictions that PayPal often places on Personal accounts.
Refer your subscribers, followers, and friends to any page (including the home page) on SmashingWebsites.com using your custom formatted link (“the link”).
The affiliate (“you”) may promote the link by any means considered legal and socially acceptable.
You are not required to be a customer to sign up for the affiliate program. Participation is free and voluntary.
When a referred visitor purchases one or more themes, a random number generator flips an electronic coin. When that “coin” comes up in your favor, you get an instant payment of the entire amount of the value of their shopping cart paid to your PayPal account. Averaged out over many sales, this works out to a 50% commission rate.
The cookie that is set on the visitors computer has a one-year lifetime. If a customer returns to purchase new themes, you have a 50 – 50 chance of receiving commissions on those sales as well.
Your Responsibilities – The affiliate is responsible for refund requests and customer disputes, on those sales awarded to you. Be aware that the customer receipt displays your contact information.
(Please reconize that you’re getting the customer’s contact information. Use this info in a courteous business-like manner, and you can build yourself a nice customer list.)
Other than refunds and disputes, please refer customers requiring product support and assistance to SmashingWebsites.com. All purchasers of my products get my full support.
Behavior that will get your affiliate account terminated – If you employ promotion techniques that tend to anger people and rile legal authorities, such as, but not limited to SPAM, SmashingWebsites.com reserves the right to terminate your account without notice. Referring a customer refund request or dispute back to SmashingWebsites.com can get your account terminated really fast, too.
Covering-My-Ass Clauses:
Changes – These terms may change occasionally without notice. Please re-read these terms periodically.
No guarantee of earning – Because of factors that are beyond the control of any merchant, SmashingWebsites.com is not responsible for an exact 50% effective commission rate. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to, the fact that people occasionally clear their cookies, or place orders from another computer. Unfortunately, this means there is a possibly, albeit small, that the affiliate might not receive any commission at all.
Termination – If at any time you’re not OK with me or the terms of this program, or if you’re moving on to bigger and better things, simply stop promoting the link.
Bottom line – Don’t do anything illegal, unsavory, terribly annoying, or what might make SmashingWebsites.com look bad in the eyes of the world, and you’ll be OK with me.
I want my associates to be happy to do business with me. Feel free to communicate with me at any time. Keep your contact info up to date, and I promise to keep you updated on changes, new promotions / products, and anything else new and potentially profitable at SmashingWebsites.com.
