This does not include using our redirects, such as vanity URLs, from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.

PPC Guidelines

- You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms (which are identified below), including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content-based campaigns on Google,
- You may not use our trademarked terms as part of the name of your site (e.g., you cannot name your site AstroAI Coupons).

SEO and Content Guidelines
Your site must contain original content and cannot be copied or heavily excerpted from other sites. Your content is checked prior to approval and if any of your content is plagiarized, we cannot accept you into the Program even if you offer to remove it. If plagiarism is discovered post-approval, AstroAI reserves the right to immediately remove you from its program without notice.
If your site doesn’t have a blog or area with articles relevant to our target audience, you may not be approved. Your site needs to be live when you apply to our program. We do not accept sites that say coming soon, give 404 errors or have security warnings. If your application is denied because of this, get in touch when the site is back up.
Sub-Affiliate Networks
Promoting AstroAI through a sub-affiliate network is permitted. However, you must be completely transparent with regard to where traffic from your sub-affiliates originated. Sub-affiliate networks must ensure that all sub-affiliates promoting the AstroAI program adhere to our program terms and conditions. This includes restrictions on advertising through toolbars, browser extensions, and through any paid placements such as pay-per-click campaigns. Sub-affiliate networks must also receive approval prior to allowing any type of coupon sub-affiliate to promote the AstroAI program.
Failure to comply with our sub-affiliate network terms may result in a loss and/or reduction of commission from sales made through any sub-affiliate that does not comply with our program terms. Repeated compliance issues may result in termination of sub-affiliate or sub-affiliate networks from our program.
Domain Names
Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or subdomain for your website is strictly prohibited i.e. AstroAI.website.com or www.AstroAI-coupons.com. Additionally, you are forbidden from using trademark terms to register a free domain on services like Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, Wix.com or any others.

Link Cloaking
All links have to be clearly visible and not cloaked. We need to see the referring URL from the exact page the last click came from. You cannot cloak links, use redirects or show us one page but end users the other.
No Auto-Monetization Tools or Scripts
We treat this the same as adware. Anything that interrupts the current shopping process will not be allowed for any reason. Turning direct links into affiliate links with javascript, toolbars, contextual software, etc… will not be allowed since it is poaching traffic we would have had anyways.
Reversal and Communication Policy
AstroAI reserves the right to reverse sale commissions due to duplicate tracking, disputed charges, downgrades from paid to free plans within 35 days and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions.
We also reserve the right to void lead transactions should they not meet the criteria of what we consider a valid lead. For example, if your lead contains unqualified data such as fake names or emails associated with spam sites, this is not a valid lead.
If we see several leads from the same IP address, they are swiftly reviewed and if the signup intent appears fraudulent, your commissions will be reversed and you may be removed from the program.
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 violations of our communications policy.
- You are not forthcoming, you are intentionally vague, or you are found to be lying.
- You are not responsive within a reasonable time period after multiple attempts to contact you using the information listed in your network profile.
- 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. 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 proactively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
Terms and Conditions Changes
You will be notified by us via ShareASale email when changes are made. However, it is your responsibility to check our terms and conditions from time to time in case you miss these communications.
