Fair Use of YesStyle Content Policy
As an Affiliate member of YesStyle, Affiliate agrees to abide by the Fair Use of YesStyle Content policy, as defined below. Failure to comply with this policy may result in suspension or removal of Affiliate’s Publisher account from the YesStyle Affiliate Program.
******* Definition: Fair Use of 'YesStyle Content'
Fair Use of 'YesStyle Content', as well as actions not considered of Fair Use, are defined in the following points below:
1. 'YesStyle Content' can be used and displayed in Affiliate Site in such a way that does not seem to resemble or "copy" its exact page equivalent on any YesStyle-owned Site.

2. All Affiliates are only allowed to use images taken directly from the data feed retrieved from the affiliate network. Affiliates wishing to use images outside from the data feed, such as images on any YesStyle-owned Site, should seek prior approval from YesStyle. Affiliates are also not allowed to edit any YesStyle-provided images in such a way that would cause misinterpretations about ownership of images.
3. 'YesStyle Content' can be used and displayed in Affiliate Sites in such a way that would not cause any large amount of bandwidth or traffic demand from any YesStyle-owned Site. For example, a typical Affiliate page promoting one YesStyle product will display 1 to 10 'YesStyle Content' images of that product, and anything above 10 is not considered fair use unless deemed appropriate by YesStyle. A typical Affiliate page promoting a list of YesStyle products will display a maximum of 100 images, and anything above 100 is not considered fair use unless deemed appropriate by YesStyle.
4. Affiliate pages that use any kind of auto-refresh or auto-rotate which causes a page or a part of a page display less than the maximum number of images at a time, but because of the rotating or auto-refresh function would more than the maximum number of images, is not considered fair use.
5. Any activities such as automated pre-downloading and crawling of 'YesStyle Content' (or any server-to-server activity that is not considered a typical Internet consumer browsing activity) that will cause any large amount of bandwidth or traffic demand from any YesStyle-owned Site is not considered fair use.
6. 'YesStyle Content' Meta Values cannot be used on any Affiliate page in the exact same way that it was used on any YesStyle-owned Site page.
YesStyle reserves all the rights to modify this policy at any time and will inform its Affiliates whenever any changes are made.
