Linking to Our Website

Upon acceptance into the Program, links will be made available to you through the affiliate interface. Your acceptance in our program means you will agree to and abide by the following.

You agree that you will only use linking code obtained from the affiliate interface without manipulation.
All domains that use your affiliate link must be listed in your affiliate profile.
You hereby agree that your Website will not in any way copy, resemble, or mirror the look and feel of our Website. You will also not use any means to create the impression that your Website is our Website or any part of our Website including, without limitation, framing of our Website in any manner.
Cookie stuffing, pop-ups, false or misleading links are strictly prohibited. In addition, wherever possible, you will not attempt to mask the referring url information (i.e. the page from where the click is originating).
Using 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 is expressly prohibited and is a direct violation of the program terms.

It is not permitted to submit direct affiliate links to social sharing sites like Instagram.com, Facebook.com, Twitter.com, Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com, Pinterest.com and others. Your affiliate links on social sites must be directed to websites that you own and manage. All affiliate links to iceprincessnyc.com must be placed on your own online properties.

If you are found in violation of these rules or redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. Continued violations may lead to removal from the ICe Princess NYC Boutique program. This does not include using "out" redirects from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.

PPC Guidelines

If you are enrolled in our Program and participate in PPC advertising, you must adhere to our PPC guidelines as follows:

You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms, including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content based campaigns on Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other network.
You may not use our trademark terms in sequence with any other keyword (e.g. Ice Princess Boutqiue Coupons).
You may not use our trademarked terms in your ad title, ad copy, display name or as the display url.
You may not direct link to our website from any Pay Per Click ad or use redirects that yield the same result. Affiliates must be directed to an actual page on your website.

If you automate your PPC campaigns, the responsibility is yours to exclude our trademark terms from your program and we strongly suggest you add our trademarked terms as negative keywords. We have a strict no tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. We will not enter a discussion about when the violation started and when it stopped; you will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning.

Trademarked Terms: Ice Princess NYC, Ice Princess NYC Boutique, Ice Princess Favors, www.iceprincessnyc.com

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.
You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-affiliate advertising, customer e-mails, paid search, or any other campaign.
On click through, you must link directly to our website. Framing of our website is strictly prohibited.
Cookie Stuffing: You must not mislead customers into clicking on an offer or coupon that does not exist or practice similarly deceptive tactics that are generally accepted as "cookie stuffing." These include, but are not limited to:

Using knowingly expired offers or presenting offers that do not exist or are not affiliate offers

Making claims that a user must click on a link first to activate or receive an offer.

Presenting a button that claims to show all offers that sets the affiliate cookie in the background

Technology that generates a click or sets the cookie from the action of copying a coupon code or through a pop under.

If your coupon site is ranking for trademark or brand + coupons or any variation, all commissions will be set to zero and potentially reversed. In order to prevent this, please add robots.txt and no index to any dedicated pages. This will tell Google and some other search engines to not index these pages. No index is not the same as no follow.

Social Media Marketing

You may not use our trademarks as hashtags or target our fans or followers.
You cannot post to any of our accounts, pages or groups.
You cannot pretend to be us, work for us or represent us in any way shape or form. This includes creating urls, accounts or using our trademarks and domain names.

E-mail must be sent on your behalf and must not imply that the e-mail is being sent on behalf of Ice Princess NYC
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.

Reversal & Communications Policy

Ice Princess NYC takes pride in our 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 applies then 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 they have the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

FTC Disclosure Policy

All Affiliates must have an FTC disclosure clearly visible on their websites, domain names or Blogs visible from any reviews, recommendations or referrals. You must also always use an FTC disclosure when using an Affiliate Link on social media sites, in emails or on sharing sites like YouTube, Instagram, etc. If we cannot find an FTC disclosure, we will contact you through the network. If the disclosure is not added within 1 week, we may either reverse all commissions, set your commissions to zero or terminate you from the program.
