COUPON GUIDELINES

1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the affiliate program or network or that are displayed on our website(s).
2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (i.e. first time customers) will result in removal from the program.

5. You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-affiliate advertising, customer e-mails, paid search, or any other campaign.
6. You may NOT give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website in order to redeem. For example, if all items on the site have free shipping over $100, you may not turn this into an offer that infers that the customer must click from your site to get this deal.
7. On click through, you must link directly to our website. Framing of our website is strictly prohibited.
8. Cookie Stuffing/Forced Clicks: You must not mislead customers into clicking on an offer or coupon that does not exist or practice similarly deceptive tactics that are generally known as "cookie stuffing or forced clicks." These include, but are not limited to:
9. Using knowingly expired offers or presenting offers that do not exist or are not affiliate offers.
10. Making claims that a user must click on a link first to activate or receive an offer.
11. Presenting a button that claims to show all offers that sets the affiliate cookie in the background.
12. Technology that generates a click or sets the cookie from the action of copying a coupon code or through a pop under.

Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc. and/or your conversion rate exceeds 25%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders.

COUPON ATTRIBUTION & AUTHENTICATION

Affiliates whose primary business is posting coupons, who are viewed by the program as being a coupon site and/or who are tagged as coupon in our system, will not be paid commission for any sales generated without a corresponding valid coupon code. Valid codes are defined as codes that are made available to the affiliate channel in general, through newsletters or the Deals Database in PepperJam Network, to that affiliate directly/privately or short-term site-wide offers. Coupon codes that are not real, expired, not specific (i.e. up to 40% off) or are long term site wide offers that do not require a code are not considered valid codes and the affiliate will not be given commission on these orders. Orders which are returned or those which cannot be reasonably tracked or attributed to the Affiliate through Shutterfly’s attribution system, such as those placed through customer service, are excluded.

DOMAIN NAMES

Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website is strictly prohibited (i.e. shutterfly.website.com).

ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY

FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

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.

2. Disclosures must be made at each instance of a sponsored link. A single statement on the site, or a separate page with your general disclosure statement is not sufficient.
3. Disclosures should be placed above the fold; scrolling should not be necessary to find the disclosure. (e.g. disclosure should be visible before the jump).
4. Pop-up, hover state and button disclosures are prohibited.

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY

Shutterfly Inc. 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 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.

1. You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.
2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile.
3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above apply, 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 it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

If the Affiliate breaches any of these Shutterfly Terms and Conditions, Affiliate may be removed from the Affiliate Program immediately and/or permanently. Shutterfly also reserves the right to withhold, or cancel any and all compensation for transactions not in compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
