This Affiliate Program Agreement applies to your participation in our Affiliate Program.  In order to participate in the Affiliate Program you must agree to this Agreement.

We periodically update these terms.

2. Affiliate Acceptance

Once you complete an application to become an Affiliate, we will review your application and notify you whether you have been accepted to participate in the Affiliate Program, or not.  Before we accept an application, we may want to review your application with you, so we may reach out to you for more information.
