Non-members can become affiliates through the submission of an application through Terri Pugh’s websites. The fact that we auto-approve and auto-enrol applications does not imply that we may not re-evaluate your application at a later time. We may reject your application or remove your affiliate status at our sole discretion. We may cancel your application if we determine that in promoting our services you are engaging in behaviours that are not aligned with our Program, including if it:

2.1.1. Promotes sexually explicit materials

2.1.8. Contains software downloads that potentially enable diversions of commission from other affiliates in our program.

2.2. As a member of Terri Pugh’s Affiliate Program, you will have access to a members area with an affiliate report. Here you will be able to download a referral link and/or HTML code (that provides for links to web pages within the Eat From Within web site). Terri Pugh uses 60-day cookie tracking.

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.

3. TERRI PUGH’S RIGHTS & OBLIGATIONS

3.1. We have the right to monitor your site at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you of any changes to your site that we feel should be made, or to make sure that your links to our web site are appropriate and to notify further you of any changes that we feel should be made.

3.2. Terri Pugh reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Eat From Within Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the Program or should you abuse this Program in any way. If such fraud or abuse is detected, we shall not be liable to you for any commissions for such fraudulent sales.

3.3. This Agreement will begin upon the start of your Eat From Within membership, or if you are not an active Eat From Within member, upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application, and will continue unless terminated hereunder.

4. TERMINATION

Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail or email, and you must ensure that you receive acknowledgement of Terri Pugh’s receipt of this notice. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.

5. MODIFICATION

We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. In such an event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Terri Pugh’s Affiliate Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued participation in Terri Pugh’s Affiliate Program following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.

6. PAYMENT

Payments are made in the first week of each calendar month by bank transfer (UK only) or PayPal. No other methods of payment will be used. 

Please ensure that you have replied to any request for payment details. If these details change once you are an Affiliate it is your responsibility to update us if your payment details change. Any change in payment details cannot be considered actioned until written confirmation has been provided by Terri Pugh. Any payments made to outdated or incorrect payment details will not be reissued.

As there is a 7 day refund period for new members, commission is only paid for each new member after that period has passed. If a referral cancels in their first 7 days and requests a refund you will not receive payment for that referral. Once the 7 day refund period has passed for a new referral commission is paid on the first week of the next calendar month, and then on the first week of each calendar month after that that they remain a paid member.

7. ACCESS TO AFFILIATE AREA

If you are an Eat From Within member you can access an affiliate report at any time – please login using your membership login first. In the members account you will be able to access your affiliate links, see your statistics and successful referrals, view commissions due and paid and also access any creatives that we may add for your use.

If you are not an Eat From Within member you will not be able to access the members area. Instead, you will be issued with a monthly report detailing your transactions.

8. PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS

8.1. You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Terri Pugh 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 Terri Pugh. 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). 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 Terri Pugh so long as the recipient is already a customer 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 or on social media to promote Terri Pugh so long as the group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Terri Pugh. 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 Terri Pugh Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

8.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as Terri Pugh, Eat From Within, www.terripugh.com, www.eatfromwithin.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from Terri Pugh’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 PPC bidding behavior.

8.3. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “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 Terri Pugh’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any Terri Pugh’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” 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 customer 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 and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Terri Pugh site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Terri Pugh’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.
