8. Promotion Restrictions

8.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but any promotion mentioning Social Uplifted could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. To avoid confusion, the following promotional restrictions are to be followed by all participating affiliates.

Certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Social Uplifted. 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 clients to promote Social Uplifted so long as the recipient is already a client or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Social Uplifted so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Social Uplifted and its clients. 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 Social Uplifted Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account may be forfeited because of unacceptable advertising.

8.2. Affiliates that advertise among other keywords or exclusively bid in their pay-per-click campaigns on keywords such as Social Uplifted, Social Uplifted, www.Social Uplifted, Social Uplifted, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these - be it separately or in combination with other keywords - will be considered trademark violations, and will be banned from Social Uplifted's Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such pay-per-click bidding behavior.

8.3. Affiliates are prohibited from keying in prospect's information into the lead form with the intent of misrepresenting or falsifying leads.

8.4. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called "interstitials," "Parasitewareâ„¢," "Parasitic Marketing," "Shopping Assistance Application," "Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons," "Shopping Wallets" or "deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders" to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Merchant's site (i.e., no page from our site or any Social Uplifted's content or branding is visible on the end-user's screen). As used herein a. "Parasitewareâ„¢" and "Parasitic Marketing" shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a client initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Social Uplifted's site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Social Uplifted's site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

8.5. We strongly advise affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. For example, all endorsements, reviews, testimonials on Social Uplifted's products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs and other Social Media channels) and Social Uplifted must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the affiliate sites. The FTC has noted 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 also scrutinizes that relationship as an endorser-sponsor light, and believes that the end user has the right to understand that an endorser-sponsor relationship exists full text here. We share the concept and concern of the FTC's approach, and will not tolerate any affiliates that fail to adhere to the FTC's guidance. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any non-compliant affiliates.

8.6. Social Uplifted affiliates are rewarded for networking and bringing in new clients through their own marketing efforts. Social Uplifted prohibits affiliates from utilizing their affiliate link to refer their own client account(s) to receive commission. This also includes accounts that are not under their name but are paid for using a payment medium that they own. This includes forms of online payment (Credit/Debit cards) but also checks and money orders.
