With our new KelleyFurniture.com (an EverythingFurniture.com store) affiliate program now added to shareasale.com, I dediced to make this new post here on shopimar.net to not only welcome you to our program and be ready with a proper Terms of Service (TOS), but to also get you prepared for many, many other posts, updates and ways you will earn more $$$ for you here.
Now, don’t worry if this site, shopimar.net and shopimar.com, have been a work in progress since 2008, eventually it will get interesting.
Ok so go ahead, read through the Terms, join us and then comply, you WILL win.
Btw, if you are a merchant reading this don’t be afraid to get ideas from this TOS and add one to your program. When I added this similar sample TOS on this page http://www.jrami.com/category/merchants/sample-tos/ it ‘WAS’ the idea, that merchants just like you would find it and implement a similar one to their store, network and affiliate program. No matter how much info or little info you add to yours or how you make your own affiliate program TOS, (you may also want double check with your own attorney if you prefer to make sure you have your own proper TOS wording incase), just please have one ready for your partners when they join, update everyone everywhere with any revisions and that all partners can find it easily at any time. Your affiliates and partners will appreciate it, trust me.
