Terms & Conditions

ReadyWise recognizes the power of various online marketing programs and welcomes the promotional efforts of its affiliates. However, as ReadyWise 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.

Your Site Guidelines:

You hereby agree that your site will not, in any way, copy or resemble the look and feel of the ReadyWise 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 ReadyWise, except 1) with our prior permission or 2) the materials were obtained by you via the Commission Junction 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: ReadyWise, ReadyWise.com or any variation thereof. Inappropriate advertisements (False claims, misleading hyperlinks) are not permitted.

Paid Search Listings Guidelines

ReadyWise 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.

Title & Descriptions & Display URL in general:

In general, do not engage in practices which portray your site as ReadyWise.com.

The titles and descriptions must not be deceptive and must accurately reflect current promotions on ReadyWise.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

Generally, ReadyWise.com does not allow its affiliates to engage in e-mail marketing. However, 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 customerservice@readywise.com.

Affiliates 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

ReadyWise does not allow partners to promote via downloadable applications.

The ReadyWise 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 READYWISE.

Please note that if you are using a traffic-redirecting product or are planning on implementing such a product, ReadyWise will reject you as an affiliate. ReadyWise 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.
