Updated: April 2024

This Affiliate Program Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions governing your participation in the Ygwigs Affiliate Program (the “Program”). “We,” “us,” or “our” refers to Ygwigs.com. “You” or “your” refers to the applicant. “Your site” includes any website(s), social media account(s), software application(s), or mobile application(s) where you display links to Ygwigs.com. “Advertising Fees” refers to commissions earned for a successful and verified sale on Ygwigs.com by a customer using your referral link.

By participating in the Program, you agree to the terms of this Operating Agreement.

1. Description of the Program

The Program allows you to advertise products sold on Ygwigs.com and earn advertising fees for Qualifying Purchases (defined below). You may use the tools and materials we provide (the “Content”) solely to promote Ygwigs.com products.

2. Enrollment

You must submit a complete and accurate application. We may reject applications at our sole discretion, including (but not limited to) if your site or promotional methods:

  • Promote illegal, harmful, violent, discriminatory, or defamatory content;
  • Contain adult or sexually explicit material;
  • Infringe intellectual property rights, including trademarks;
  • Use misleading, false, or deceptive marketing tactics;
  • Are otherwise unsuitable for our brand.

3. Links on Your Site

Once accepted, you may place special tracking links (“Special Links”) to Ygwigs.com on your site or other approved channels. You will earn Advertising Fees only from sales generated via properly formatted Special Links.

4. Program Requirements

You must follow our Affiliate Program Participation Requirements and any guidelines we provide. We may withhold payments, terminate accounts, or take other action if you violate these terms or engage in any activity we consider harmful to Ygwigs or its customers.

5. Responsibility for Your Site

You are solely responsible for your site and promotional channels, including their development, operation, and maintenance, and for all content that appears on or within them. This includes:

  • Ensuring that your content is accurate, lawful, and not misleading;
  • Providing clear and compliant affiliate disclosures (for example, as required by the FTC);
  • Ensuring your use of Content does not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any rights of Ygwigs or any third party;
  • Protecting the privacy and data of your users in accordance with applicable laws.

6. Order Processing

We handle all order processing and fulfillment for customers who arrive via your Special Links. You are not authorized to handle orders, payments, shipping, or customer service on our behalf. All aspects of the sales process are managed solely by Ygwigs.

7. Advertising Fees and Qualifying Purchases

A “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when:

  • A customer clicks your Special Link to Ygwigs.com;
  • During the same session, the customer adds a product to the cart; and
  • The customer completes the purchase successfully.

We will not pay Advertising Fees for any of the following:

  • Orders that are canceled, returned, refunded, or subject to chargebacks;
  • Orders generated through prohibited advertising methods, including those described in Section 7.1;
  • Purchases made after termination of this Operating Agreement or after your account has been suspended or blocked;
  • Any transactions that we determine, at our sole discretion, to be fraudulent, invalid, or in violation of this Agreement.

We reserve the right to review traffic and transactions associated with your account and to withhold or reverse commissions for any activity we consider suspicious, fraudulent, or non-compliant with this Operating Agreement.

7.1 Prohibited Paid Search Advertising

Affiliates are strictly prohibited from bidding on, purchasing, or otherwise using any of the following in paid advertising or pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on platforms such as Google Ads, Bing Ads, Yahoo, Facebook Ads, or similar services:

  • The term “Ygwigs”, including any variations, misspellings, or plural/singular forms;
  • Any Ygwigs.com URL;
  • Any Ygwigs trademarks or brand-specific terms;
  • Brand + generic keyword combinations, including but not limited to:
    • “Ygwigs wigs”
    • “Ygwigs sale”
    • “Ygwigs coupon”
    • “Ygwigs code”
    • “Ygwigs discount”
  • Coupon-related brand keyword combinations, including but not limited to:
    • “Ygwigs coupon code”
    • “Ygwigs promo code”
    • “Ygwigs discount code”
    • “Ygwigs voucher”
  • Any paid search or ad campaign primarily targeting users searching for Ygwigs coupons, discounts, promo codes, or similar terms;
  • Ads designed to resemble official Ygwigs promotional content or to mislead users into believing the ad is run by Ygwigs directly;
  • Any paid ads that redirect users to Ygwigs.com through an affiliate link.

Violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension or termination from the Program, and any unpaid commissions associated with prohibited activity may be withheld or reversed at our discretion.

8. Payment

We will pay you Advertising Fees on a monthly basis for Qualifying Purchases, provided your account balance meets the minimum payout threshold. Payments are made in U.S. dollars via the payment method you selected in your affiliate account settings.

Payments for commissions earned in a given month will be issued by the middle of the following month (for example, commissions earned in January will be paid by the middle of February).

We reserve the right to withhold or adjust payments for returned, canceled, or refunded orders, for suspected fraudulent activity, or for any other corrections necessary under this Operating Agreement.

9. Policies and Pricing

Customers who purchase products through the Program are customers of Ygwigs.com. All pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on Ygwigs.com will apply to those customers and may be changed at any time.

10. Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate

You must clearly state on your site or promotional channels that you are a Ygwigs affiliate. A suggested disclosure is:

“[Your Name] is a participant in the Ygwigs Affiliate Program, designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by advertising and linking to Ygwigs.com.”

You may not misrepresent or embellish the relationship between you and Ygwigs, or imply that you are an employee, partner, or representative of Ygwigs.

14. Term and Termination

The term of this Operating Agreement begins upon our acceptance of your Program application and will continue until terminated by either you or us. Either party may terminate this Operating Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving written notice (including email).

Upon termination, you must immediately remove all Ygwigs Content and Special Links from your site and promotional channels. We may withhold accrued but unpaid Advertising Fees for a reasonable period after termination to ensure the correct amount is paid.

15. Modification

17. Limitation of Liability

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including loss of revenue, profits, goodwill, or data) arising in connection with this Operating Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising in connection with this Operating Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total Advertising Fees paid to you under this Operating Agreement in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

18. Disclaimers

The Program, Ygwigs.com, the Content, Special Links, and all related technology and services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no representation or warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Program will be uninterrupted or error-free.

19. Governing Law

This Operating Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Operating Agreement will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, USA.

20. Miscellaneous

You may not assign or transfer this Operating Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under it, without our prior written consent. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Operating Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision.
