The following Terms of Service apply to ePly’s Affiliate
program.
ePly will pay a commission to Affiliates that are
registered and approved by ePly when the Affiliate
refers a Client to ePly and that referral results in the
client using ePly for one or more events that generate
billable registrations.
3. Tracking
Offline
The Affiliate must register referred leads with ePly by
submitting the lead via the online referral submission
form or by contacting ePly directly. ePly will log the
referral in its CRM system to help ensure that leads who
become clients are credited to the Affiliate.
Online
To track leads referred to ePly via a website, blog,
email campaign or other online method, the Affiliate
will use a tracking URL provided by ePly. When an action
is taken on ePly’s website such as downloading a file or
opening a free account, the original source of the lead
will be recorded in the ePly system. If the lead does
not have cookies enabled in their browser or if the
tracking is not successful for another reason the lead
may not be credited to the affiliate.
All ePly staff are trained to ask new leads how they
heard about ePly to help ensure that Affiliates get
credit for all referrals. ePly staff are not rewarded in
a way that conflicts with crediting an Affiliate with a
referral.
4. Marketing Efforts
All marketing efforts conducted by the Affiliate must be
to a professional standard and in compliance with all
laws and accepted standards including, but not limited
to the CANSPAM Act, Google website promotion guidelines
and ePly’s own best practices. If an Affiliate is unsure
whether their marketing efforts meet these standards,
they may email the material to
[email protected] for
approval.
