FoodInsurance.com recognizes the power of various online marketing programs and welcomes the promotional efforts of its affiliates. However, as FoodInsurance is working to build a strong and reputable brand name, it is necessary that we take steps to protect the brand and its reputation. With this in mind, we've developed policies regarding the following online programs. Failure to comply with these policies is grounds for termination of your affiliate status.
Search Guidelines
We want to help you in your efforts - we understand the power of having affiliates use search marketing.
Site Guidelines:
You hereby agree that your site will not, in any way, copy or resemble the look and feel of the Food Insurance site nor will you do anything to create the impression that your site is our site or a part of our site, including without limitation, framing our site in any manner. You also hereby agree that your site will not contain any content from our site or any materials which are proprietary to Food Insurance, except 1) with our prior permission or 2) the materials were obtained by you via the Commission Junction or Rising Revenue sites in accordance with the provisions hereof or the policies or instructions thereon.
You further hereby agree that your top level domain name does not and will not contain any of the following words: Food Insurance, FoodInsurance.com or any variation thereof.
Inappropriate advertisements (False claims, misleading hyperlinks) are not permitted.
Paid Search Listings Guidelines
Food Insurance understands the power of paid search listings in driving qualified traffic and sales for affiliates. We strongly encourage affiliates to utilize search engines in their promotional efforts.
Terms:
Affiliates are forbidden from bidding on FoodInsurance.com trademarked terms unless given express written consent. Affiliates may bid on any other keywords provided that they do not direct link to the FoodInsuance.com website and do not represent themselves as FoodInsurnace.com. Please refer to suggested terms.
Title & Descriptions & Display URL in general:
Affiliates are not allowed to engage in practices which portray their site as FoodInsurance.com.
The titles and descriptions must not be deceptive and must accurately reflect current promotions on FoodInsurance.com.
With the limited spaces available in titles and descriptions - take care not to try to promote something that cannot be properly explained. For example - free shipping on certain products must be explained as such. Similarly, free products that come only with certain products must be explained in that context.
E-mail guidelines
FoodInsurance.com will only allow its affiliates to engage in e-mail marketing with prior written consent. If you own directly gathered opt-in lists, such as a loyalty program or house list, and would like you to request permission to e-mail, please send a request to food@risingrevenue.com.
Affiliates must agree to be CAN-SPAM compliant and further agree to not engage in spamming, unsolicited e-mail and indiscriminate advertising. Lists hoping to be considered should reflect the guidelines established by the IAB's Ethical Email Guidelines
Downloadable Application Policy
Food Insurance does not allow partners to promote via downloadable applications.
The Food Insurance affiliate team feels strongly that affiliates should be properly rewarded for their promotional efforts on our behalf.
The last thing we want to do is reward another party for stealing commissions. We know that there are software programs out there, downloaded by millions of Internet users, that replace tracking codes with their own. The affiliates that are using this software are increasing their commissions at the expense of others. We actively prohibit any and all known parasiteware companies from earning commissions.
USING SOFTWARE THAT REDIRECTS TRAFFIC IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY FOOD INSURANCE.
Please note that if you are using a traffic-redirecting product or are planning on implementing such a product, Food Insurance will reject you as an affiliate. Food Insurance welcomes all legitimate marketing efforts, but strongly opposes technologies that would take commissions from its hard-working affiliates.
We commend Commission Junction and others who've recognized the need to address this issue. See PUBLISHER CODE OF CONDUCT.
