  • You may not use redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain.

If it is determined you have engaged in any of the above described conduct, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. This does not include using “out” redirects from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.

COUPON GUIDELINES If you are enrolled in our Program and your Website promotes coupon codes, you must adhere to our Coupon Guidelines as follows:

  • You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the affiliate program or network or that are displayed on our website(s).
  • Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (i.e. first time customers) will result in removal from the program.
  • Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date and code.

Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc. and/or your conversion rate exceeds 25%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders.

DOMAIN NAMES Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website is strictly prohibited (i.e. HappenToYourCareer.website.com or www.WorkYouLove.website.com).

ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY You shall not create, publish, distribute, or print any written material that makes reference to our Program without first submitting that material to us and receiving our prior written consent.

  • Abide by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187) with respect to our Program.

  • E-mails must first be submitted to us for approval prior to being sent or we must be sent a copy of the e-mail.

SOCIAL MEDIA Promotion on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms is permitted following these general guidelines:

  • You ARE allowed to promote offers to your own lists; more specifically, you’re welcome to use your affiliate links on your own Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages. For example: You may post, “Join my friend @scottabarlow for a dream job workshop today [affiliate link].”

OPERATIONS OUTSIDE UNITED STATES If you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in other countries, you will follow the laws of those countries. For example, you will comply with the European Union’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive if you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in one or more of the European Union countries.

FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS You shall include a disclosure statement within any and all pages, blog/posts, or social media posts where affiliate links for our affiliate program are posted as an endorsement or review, and where it is not clear that the link is a paid advertisement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or from the affiliate management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure. We reserve the right to audit affiliate sites without notice for disclosure compliance and to remove an affiliate from the Program if we determine you are not in compliance.

  • Disclosures must be made as close as possible to the claims, and may not appear solely in a “Terms of Use”, “Legal”, “About Us” or other linked paged.
  • Disclosures must be made at each instance of a sponsored link. A single statement on the site, or a separate page with your general disclosure statement is not sufficient.
  • Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure. (e.g. disclosure should be visible before the jump).
  • Pop-up, hover state and button disclosures are prohibited.
  • Disclosure policy applies to all social media, even when space is restricted (e.g., tweets)

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY Happen to Your Career LLC takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions.

Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.

  • You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.
  • You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile.
  • You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above apply, we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

If you commence any litigation against us or if we commence litigation because of  your failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions discussed above after we have instructed you to cease doing so, and we prevail, you shall be responsible for the attorney fees incurred by us.
