2.5. It is entirely your responsibility to follow all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your site. You must have express permission to use any person’s copyrighted material, whether it be a writing, an image, or any other copyrightable work. We will not be responsible (and you will be solely responsible) if you use another person’s copyrighted material or other intellectual property in violation of the law or any third party rights.
2.6. We strongly advise affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on https://www.botanyfarms.com/ products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs, and other Social Media channels) and https://www.botanyfarms.com/ 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 a 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 underlying idea of this approach and strongly encourage our affiliates to adhere to the FTC’s rules. We also reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any noncompliant affiliates.

BOTANY FARMS will pay commission on all qualifying affiliate sales. Sales include all affiliate qualifying purchases completed by the visitor from your site. All sales are final, no returns or refunds are accepted.

8. Promotion Restrictions
8.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions BOTANY FARMS 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 BOTANY FARMS. 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 BOTANY FARMS 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 BOTANY FARMS so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from BOTANY FARMS. 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 BOTANY FARMS Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
