We encourage affiliates to use generic keywords in their search engine optimization. However, affiliates may not use our trademark name, our domain name, or misspellings or variations of these.
If you are currently a PPC affiliate or plan on promoting TideWe.com through paid advertising, you must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Affiliate may not bid on any of our trademarked terms, including any variations or misspellings, or bid on any trademarked terms in sequence with another keyword without express written approval from TideWe.com
- Affiliate may not use our trademarked terms in your display URL.
- Affiliate’s ad title and ad copy must not create the impression that your site is the TideWe.com site or any part of our site.
- Affiliate must link directly to your own site. Redirects to the TideWe.com site are unacceptable.
If you are found to be engaging in any of the aforementioned practices, we reserve the right to reverse any/all sales generated. It is suggested that if you actively participate in PPC advertising, you add our trademarked terms as negative keywords.
Trademarked terms include: tidewe.com, TideWe supplies, TideWe or other permutations or misspellings of the brand name.
