In the event that a customer asks for a refund the affiliate will not receive the commission for the month connected with the refund.
- Promotion Restrictions
7.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Healthlighting.com or Lumiram 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 Lumiram. 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 Lumiram or Healthlighting.com 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 Lumiram and Healthlighting.com 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 Lumiram or Healthlighting. 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 Healthlighting.com/Lumiram Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
7.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as Lumiram, www.lumiram, Healthlighting, www.healthlighting, 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 Healthlighting.com and Lumiram'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.
7.3. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Lumiram products).
7.4. 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 Healthlighting site (i.e., no page from our site or any Healthlighting.com or Lumiram 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, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Healthlighting site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Healthlighting’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.
7.5 You must not use the Lumiram, Healthlighting, Chromalux, or any other brand names owned by Lumiram within your domain name. For example, you may not register a domain name such as https://chromaluxlightbulbs.com
7.6 You may use your unique URL within email marketing, online advertising, blogging, social media marketing, video marketing, and other forms of online marketing. Paid search and social advertising (Google Adwords, Facebook, etc.) on brand terms, trademarked terms, and product names are prohibited. This includes but is not limited to the following keywords and phrases:
