B. Affiliates of SOL Organics are prohibited from advertising on Google Display Network and paid advertising on Facebook (unpaid posts on your own Facebook pages are allowed)
C. FTC Clause
We strongly advise affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on SOL Organics products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs and other Social Media channels) and SOL Organics must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the affiliate sites. FTC points out that when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product it is imperative that such connection is fully disclosed. FTC deems the relationship in an endorser-sponsor light, and believes that the end user has the right to understand that one exists. We share the undergirding idea of this approach, and strongly encourage our affiliates to adhere to the FTC's rules. We also reserve the right to terminate relationship with any non-compliant affiliates.
D. Coupons Policy
Publishers may only use coupons and promotional codes that are provided exclusively through the SOL Organics affiliate program. Promoting coupons intended for distribution through other marketing channels used by SOL Organics (e.g.: retargeting, email, social, etc.) is strictly prohibited. Harvesting of coupons is prohibited, and may result in termination from SOL Organics affiliate program. Similarly, affiliates who "harvest" and promote coupons intended for other affiliates (e.g.: exclusive promotions) may have related transactions voided.
