- AFFILIATE PROGRAM
You can sign up for the Program by completing our Affiliate Program application (the “
Application”). The Application will ask you from some information such as your name, email and website URL. Prior to signing up, you will have to acknowledge your acceptance to these Affiliate Program Terms. Once the Application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Dr. Lite team and you will be notified whether it has been approved or rejected.
Dr. Lite can either approve or decline the application. If approved, an Affiliate account will be created for you. You will receive an email stating your log-in details for you to set up your account (the “
Affiliate Account”). Through your Affiliate Account, Users will be able to track their sales, payment history and referral link.
As part of the affiliate program, you will receive a unique link (“
Referral Link”) which will identify any purchases that have been referred by you. When a Qualifying Purchase (as defined below) has been made through your Referral Link, you will receive a fee for such sale (the “
Program Fees”). The use of the Referral Link will be valid for a period of sixty (60) days.
Additionally, Dr. Lite will periodically provide coupon codes via email to members of the Affiliate Program. If a customer makes a Qualifying Purchase using the provided link, the customer will receive a discount and you will receive the Program Fees.
You will ensure that the information in your Affiliate Program Application and information otherwise associated with your account on the Affiliate Program, including your email address, other contact information, and identification of your Site, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Affiliate Program to the email address then-currently associated with your Affiliate Account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.
- ELIGIBILITY
Both individuals and businesses may apply to the Affiliate Program. Individuals must be over eighteen (18) years old and be able to enter into a contract in the United States.
If the Referral Link will be placed on a website owned or managed by you, your website(s) must contain original content and be publicly available via the website address provided in the your Application. You must identify your website in your Application. We will evaluate your Application and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. Your website will not be eligible for inclusion in the Affiliate Program, if we deem it unsuitable. Unsuitable websites include those that:
- promote or contain sexually explicit or obscene materials,
