Material Connection Disclosure. BabyQuip requires our affiliates to comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising,” which requires, among other criteria, that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. BabyQuip reserves the right to demand corrective action, withhold commission fees and cancel the affiliate relationship with you should we determine, at our sole discretion, that you are not in compliance with this provision. This means that you must prominently disclose the fact that financial or in-kind compensation is provided from BabyQuip to you, including by:
a. Disclosing that you receive a commission on reservations booked through you and your link. Written disclosures must stand out (e.g., bold, italic, and/or different color font), include #ad when online, and be clear and conspicuous in every situation where you supply the Affiliate Link (including by placing the written disclosure in any photo or video promoting BabyQuip). Users must not need to click or scroll to see the disclosure. Verbal disclosures to the user must be made where you are completing a booking for them or in any video or audio file that promotes BabyQuip.
B. Being honest in any review, promotion, or other endorsement of BabyQuip you make.
Restrictions on Marketing. You will not: (a) in any way suggest that BabyQuip is endorsing any products or services other than BabyQuip’s own products and services; (b) misrepresent the relationship between us or present any false information about BabyQuip; (c) except as specifically provided in these Terms, use any BabyQuip trade names, trademarks, or service marks without the prior written approval from BabyQuip; (d) link to the BabyQuip Site through any non-Affiliate Site or mirrored website; or (e) you will not purchase ads that direct to your site(s) through an Affiliate Link that could be considered as competing with BabyQuip’s own advertising, including, but not limited to, bidding on BabyQuip branded keywords.

- Obligations with Respect to Confidential Information.

-
- Equitable Relief. Each of us understands and acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of any of the other’s Confidential Information in violation of these Terms may cause irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain and, therefore, agrees that the disclosing party will have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any such further disclosure or misappropriation and for such other relief as the disclosing party deems appropriate. Such right of the disclosing party will be in addition to the remedies otherwise available to the disclosing party at law or in equity.
