By signing up for the Buckets-O-Fun.com Affiliate Program (Program), you indicate your acceptance of this Agreement and its terms and conditions.

We reserve the right to approve or reject ANY Affiliate Program Application at our sole and absolute discretion. There is no legal recourse for the rejection of your Affiliate Program Application.

Commissions for Buckets-O-Fun.com affiliates will be paid out upon request. For an Affiliate to receive a commission, the account must obtain a minimum of $50 in commission.

Payments will only be sent for transactions that have been successfully completed. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.

You agree that you are an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and Buckets-O-Fun . You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on Your Site or any other of Your Site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.

3. Termination

  • Inappropriate advertisements (false claims, misleading hyperlinks, etc.)
  • Spamming (mass email, mass newsgroup posting, etc.)
  • Promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  • Advertising on sites containing or promoting illegal activities, inappropriate, and explicit materials
  • Is otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable to us in our sole discretion
  • Failure to disclose the affiliate relationship for any promotion that qualifies as an endorsement under existing Federal Trade Commission guidelines and regulations, or any applicable state laws.
  • Self referrals, fraudulent transactions, suspected Affiliate fraud.
  • Contains software downloads that potentially enable diversions of commission from other affiliates in our program.
  • You may not create or design your website or any other website that you operate, explicitly or implied in a manner which resembles our website nor design your website in a manner which leads customers to believe you are Buckets-O-Fun.com or any other affiliated business.

In addition to the foregoing, Buckets-O-Fun.com reserves the right to terminate any Affiliate account at any time, for any violations of this Agreement or for no reason. Written notice is required and can be in the form of mail, email or fax. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.

4. Affiliate Links

You may use graphic and text links both on your website and within in your email messages. You may also advertise Buckets-O-Fun.com in online and offline classified ads, magazines, and newspapers. You may use the graphics and text provided by us, or you may create your own.

5. Promotion Restrictions

You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Buckets-O-Fun 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 Buckets-O-Fun. 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 Buckets-O-Fun 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 to promote Buckets-O-Fun 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 Buckets-O-Fun. 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 Buckets-O-Fun Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

6. Pay Per Click (PPC) Policy

PPC bidding is NOT allowed without prior written permission.

We do not make any expressed or implied warranties. We make no claim that the operation of the Program and/or our website will be error-free and we will not be liable for any interruptions or errors.

8. Term of the Agreement

The terms and conditions of this agreement may be modified by Buckets-O-Fun.com at any time.
