All right, title and interest in and to our intellectual property belong exclusively to us and you shall have no rights to this property except as set forth herein.
Advertising & Publicity
You shall not create, publish, distribute, or print any written material that makes reference to our Affiliate Program without first submitting that material to us and receiving our prior written consent. If you intend to promote our Affiliate Program via email campaigns, you must adhere to the following:
Social Media
Promotion on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, emails, and other social media platforms is permitted following these general guidelines:
Operating Globally
If you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in other countries, you will comply with the laws of those countries. For example, you will comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation if you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in one or more of the European Union countries.
Reversal & Communication Policy
Widg.io takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders in our sole discretion, including due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and Affiliate Program violations as outlined in these Affiliate Terms. Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our Affiliate Terms, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.
If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, withhold commission and remove you from the Affiliate Program at any time. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to proactively address these issues and adhere to our Affiliate Program rules. We can update these Affiliate Terms at any time without prior notice. If we modify these Affiliate Terms, we will post the modification on the Widg.io website, which are effective upon posting. By continuing to send referrals after we have posted a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the updated Affiliate Terms. If the modified Affiliate Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to stop sending referrals and not use your affiliate link.
