  2. All domains that use your affiliate link must be listed in your affiliate profile.

  4. Your website may not show up in a superior position in search for a term directly linked to one of our brands. If it does, you must take the appropriate steps to either no longer be indexed for the phrase or strip keywords used in on-page SEO tags and text to fall out of the index for the relevant term(s).

  6. Using redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain is prohibited.

If you are found redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided, and/or your commission level will be set to $0 without warning. ​This does not include using “out” redirects from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.

PPC GUIDELINES If you are enrolled in our Program and participate in PPC advertising, you must adhere to our PPC guidelines as follows:

  1. You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms, including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content based campaigns on Google, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook or any other network.

  3. ​You may not use our trademarked terms in sequence with any other keyword (i.e. Gundry MD Coupons).
  4. You may not use our trademarked terms in your ad title, ad copy, display name or as the display URL.

  6. ​You may not bid in any manner appearing higher than Golden Hippo for any search term in position 1-5 in any auction style pay-per-click advertising program

We have a strict no tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. ​You will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to $0 without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.

COUPON GUIDELINES Golden Hippo may provide coupons, or coupon codes, for you to use as part of the Program. The offering of coupons or coupon codes via the Program is in Golden Hippo’s sole discretion and may be terminated by Golden Hippo at any time. If you are enrolled in our Program and you desire to have your website promote any such coupon codes, you must adhere to our Coupon Guidelines as follows:

  1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the Program.
  2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (i.e. first time customers only) will result in removal from the Program.
  3. Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date and code.
  4. You may NOT use any technology that covers up the coupon code and generates the affiliate click by revealing the code(s).
  5. You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from any non-affiliate marketing channel, including coupon codes from our email, paid search or any other non-affiliate advertising campaigns.
  6. You may NOT give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website in order to redeem. For example, if all items on the site have free shipping over $100, you may not turn this into an offer that infers that the customer must click from your site to get this deal.

Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website name(s) and/or trademarked terms combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc. and/or your conversion rate exceeds 25%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders. The current rate is $0.

COUPON ATTRIBUTION & AUTHENTICATION Affiliates whose primary business is posting coupons, who are viewed by the Program as being a coupon site, and/or who are tagged as coupon in our system, may not be paid commissions for sales generated without a corresponding valid coupon code. Valid codes are defined as codes that are made available to the affiliate channel in general, through newsletters or the AWIN system as part of this Program, or directly or privately to you. Coupon codes that are not real, expired, not specific (i.e. up to 40% off sale items) or are long-term sitewide offers that do not require a code may not considered valid codes and you will not be given commission on these orders.

SUB-AFFILIATE NETWORKS Promoting Golden Hippo through a sub-affiliate network is permitted only with Golden Hippo’s prior approval in writing of each sub-affiliate (which may be via email). If you are approved to promote via sub-affiliates, then you must be completely transparent with regards to where traffic from your sub-affiliates originated. You must ensure that all sub-affiliates promoting the Golden Hippo Program adhere to our Program terms and conditions. This includes restrictions on advertising through toolbars, browser extensions, and through any paid placements such as a pay-per-click campaigns. Sub-affiliate networks must also receive prior written approval prior to allowing any type of coupon sub-affiliate to promote the Golden Hippo Program. Failure to comply with our sub-affiliate network terms may result in a loss and/or reduction of commissions from sales made through any sub-affiliate that does not comply with our Program terms and conditions.

DOMAIN NAMES Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website is strictly prohibited (e.g., gundrymd.website.com, Golden Hippo.website.com or www.Golden Hippo-coupons.com).

ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY You shall not create, publish, distribute, or print any written material that makes reference to our Program (other than the unmodified Golden Hippo Materials that we make available via the AWIN service) without first submitting that material to us and receiving our prior written consent. If you intend to promote our Program via e-mail campaigns, you must adhere to the following:

  1. Abide by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187) with respect to our Program, including by having an “unsubscribe” link in each email.

You should not reply to the customer without first contacting Golden Hippo and getting Golden Hippo’s approval on your response.

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY Golden Hippo takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse earned commissions due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions. Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are considered violations of our communications policy.

  1. You are not forthcoming, you are intentionally vague or are found to be lying.
  2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts by us to contact you using the information listed in your affiliate profile.
  3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our Program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to $0 or suspend you from the Program for the period or orders in question. ​We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our Program rules.

FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS You must include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog/posts, or social media posts where affiliate links for our Program are posted as an endorsement or review, and where it is not clear that the link is a paid advertisement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement, and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you received the product for free from us or from the Program team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure.
