We may reject your application at our sole discretion. We may cancel your application if we determine that your site is unsuitable for our Program, including if it:

  •  Promotes sexually explicit materials
  • Promotes violence
  • Promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  • Promotes illegal activities
  • Incorporates any materials which infringe or assist others to infringe on any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights or to violate the law

  • Is otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable to us in our sole discretion.
  • Contains software downloads that potentially enable diversions of commission from other Publishers in our program.
  • You may not create or design your website or any other website that you operate, explicitly or implied in a manner that resembles our website nor design your website in a manner that leads customers to believe you are Alyaka or any other affiliated business.

2) Email & Community

You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally, any promotion that mentions Alyaka could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Alyaka. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Alyaka so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings.

Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Alyaka so long as the newsgroup specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from Alyaka. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Alyaka Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
