2.3. We reserve the right, at any time, to review your placement and approve the use of your links and require that you change the placement or use to comply with the guidelines provided, which we may update from time to time with or without notice to you. You must implement such requested changes at your sole cost and expense in the timeframe we provide.
2.4. The maintenance and the updating of your site will be your responsibility. We may monitor your site as we feel necessary to make sure that it is up-to-date and to notify you of any changes that we feel could enhance your performance. We will specify whether such changes are mandatory in order for you to stay in the Affiliate Program, or whether such changes are mere suggestions.
2.5. It is entirely your responsibility to adhere to all applicable intellectual property, data privacy, and other relevant laws for your site. You must obtain explicit permission to use anyone's copyrighted material, whether it is written content, images, or any other copyrightable work. We will not be liable for any violations related to the use of another person's copyrighted material or intellectual property; you will bear full responsibility for such actions.
Additionally, you must comply with all applicable data privacy laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and any subsequent or related legislation, such as the ePrivacy Regulation. This includes obtaining any necessary consent to collect, use, and disclose personal information. You will be solely responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations. We will not be responsible for your use of any individual’s information in violation of applicable data privacy legislation.
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.
For more information about FTC disclosure requirements, please review the FTC's "Dot Com Disclosures" Guidelines at http://www.ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf ; and the FTC's Endorsement Guidelines at http://business.ftc.gov/advertising-and-marketing/endorsements
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.
Affiliates operating in the EU must ensure that cookies or similar tracking technologies comply with GDPR and the EU’s ePrivacy Directive, including obtaining user consent where applicable.
5.1. We have the right to monitor your site at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you of any changes to your site that we feel should be made, or to make sure that your links to our website are appropriate and to notify you of any changes that we feel should be made. If you do not make our requested changes to your site, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program without liability to you.
5.2. Strategic Parenting reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program or should you abuse this program in any way. If such fraud or abuse is detected, Strategic Parenting shall not be liable to you for any commissions for such fraudulent sales.
5.3. This Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application, and will continue unless terminated hereunder.
Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail, email or phone. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you. Upon termination of this Agreement, you will be automatically removed from the Affiliate Program, and all licenses granted hereunder shall immediately terminate. Upon termination, you shall immediately cease using our domain name, marketing materials, intellectual property, and other Licensing Materials (defined in Section 9 below) related to the Affiliate Program. You must return or destroy all such materials upon termination and, upon our request, you shall provide written certification to us that all such materials have been returned or destroyed, as applicable.
We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. In such event, we shall post an updated version of these terms to our website, which shall become effective immediately. Your continued participation in the Affiliate Program following our posting of a new version shall constitute your consent to be bound by any updated terms. You should check the website often for updates. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program rules. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued participation in the Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.
If we accept you into the Affiliate Program, we will provide you with information about compensation (“Commissions”). You may participate in the Affiliate Program only if you agree to our proposed Commission. You will receive a Commission for completed, verified sales requested through your affiliate links.
8.1. Anyone who purchased our products or services through your affiliate link (an “Affiliate Customer”) are entitled to refund within a specified period:
Commissions are paid only after the Refund Period expires without a refund request.
8.2. If an Affiliate Customer has not requested a refund by the time the Refund Period expires, we will pay and process your Commission. We process payments on a monthly basis. Payments are made by the 15th of the following month.
8.3. We reserve the right to withhold all future Commission payments to you in the event that we discover or reasonably suspect that you have violated this Agreement or any applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
You will be able to access a dashboard to see your commissions, access the creatives and track your clicks.
10.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Strategic Parenting 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 Strategic Parenting. 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 Strategic Parenting so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Strategic Parenting so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from Strategic Parenting. 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 Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
10.2. Strategic Parenting does not allow trademark bidding and prohibits bidding on any form of our URL. Affiliates CANNOT run pay per click campaigns linking directly to our website and will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from the Strategic Parenting Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior. Affiliate PPC campaigns are allowed only when linking to an affiliate-owned website.
10.3. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Strategic Parenting’s service).
10.4. As an Affiliate, you are strictly prohibited from engaging in the following practices from the moment a consumer clicks on a qualifying link until they fully exit the Strategic Parenting website (i.e., no Strategic Parenting content or branding remains visible on the end-user’s screen):
10.4.1. Prohibited Tools and Applications:
10.4.2. Deceptive Practices:
These actions violate this Agreement and will result in immediate disqualification from the Affiliate Program and forfeiture of any outstanding commissions. We are committed to maintaining fair and ethical standards and expect the same from all Affiliates.
10.5. Affiliate may not place Facebook ads, Google ads, or any other social media or third-party advertisements that refer to, link to, or otherwise mention our domain or website. Social media ads may reference affiliate-owned sites but must not directly link to Strategic Parenting domains or use our trademarks in a misleading way.
10.6. During the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, Affiliate may not compete with us in any competition or bid for keywords or domain names.
11.1. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to:
Your use of Licensed Materials must be in furtherance of the Affiliate Program and strictly for personal use by you and the individuals purchasing our products and services. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property, including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing by us.
11.2. Each party agrees not to use the other’s proprietary materials in any manner that is disparaging, misleading, obscene or that otherwise portrays the party in a negative light. Each party reserves all of its respective rights in the proprietary materials covered by this license. Other than the license granted in this Agreement, each party retains all right, title, and interest to its respective rights and no right, title, or interest is transferred to the other.

WCC d.o.o. shall have no liability for any interruptions in the use of this Website. WCC d.o.o. disclaims all warranties with regard to the information provided, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. WCC d.o.o. does not guarantee that participation in the Affiliate Program will yield any particular results or profits. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; therefore the above-referenced exclusion is inapplicable.
You represent and warrant that:
13.1. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by you and constitutes your legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against you in accordance with its terms;
13.2. You have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to perform your obligations under this Agreement, without the approval or consent of any other party;
13.3. You have sufficient right, title, and interest in and to the rights granted to us in this Agreement.
WCC d.o.o. (Strategic Parenting). SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, AND IN PARTICULAR WCC d.o.o. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, OR LOSS OF USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS WEB SITE OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, UNDER STATUTE, IN EQUITY, AT LAW, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WCC d.o.o. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS IS INAPPLICABLE.
Affiliate agrees to defend, indemnify and hold WCC d.o.o. (Strategic Parenting), its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, employees, successors, and assigns, harmless from their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns, from and against any third party claims, actions, suits, or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”), and all resulting losses, liabilities, damages, settlements, judgments, obligations, fines, fees, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or related to: (i) an allegation that the Affiliate’s use of the Licensed Materials infringes or misappropriates a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right; (ii) the negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or violation of applicable law by Affiliate or its employees or contractors; or (iii) Affiliate’s use of our website or participation of the Affiliate Program.
“Confidential Information” as used herein means: any information disclosed by Strategic Parenting (the “Disclosing Party”) to Affiliate (the “Receiving Party”), whether marked as confidential or reasonably ought to be considered confidential based on its nature and circumstances of disclosure, that relates to the Disclosing Party’s business affairs, internal operations, personnel, financial matters, technology, customers, research and development, product plans or offerings, markets or know-how.
Disclosing Party shall retain ownership of all rights, title, and interest in its Confidential Information and, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to convey to the Receiving Party any right, title, license, or interest in Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
The Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party solely in connection with performance of this Agreement or as authorized by this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall hold confidential and protect from disclosure to unauthorized third parties the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care (and, in any event, not less than a reasonable degree of care) in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it exercises in protecting its own Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and shall cooperate in every reasonable way with the Disclosing Party to help regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use.
In the event that the Receiving Party is required by law, according to advice of counsel, to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior notice of such pending disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall cooperate with any attempts by the Disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the absence of a protective order or a receipt of a waiver, the Receiving Party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose and such disclosure shall not be a breach of this Agreement.
Upon termination of this Agreement or at the request of the Disclosing Party, with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information the Receiving Party shall promptly either: (i) return such Confidential Information and provide certification to the Disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been returned; or, with the prior consent of the Disclosing Party, (ii) destroy such Confidential Information and provide certification to the Disclosing Party that all such Confidential Information has been destroyed.
Receiving Party acknowledges that any breach of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Section 14 may cause Disclosing Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the Disclosing Party is entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, in addition to any other remedy to which the Disclosing Party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
17.1. 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 WCC d.o.o. (Strategic Parenting). 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 Site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
17.2. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any party, except to a party who obtains all or substantially all of the business or assets of a third party.
