Last Update: October 20, 2016
We appreciate your interest and support of our Affiliate Program, which is intended to monetarily reward our most passionate supporters. It is mainly intended for those that want to tell their friends about their experience with our products via social media or email and wouldn't mind getting a commission for it.
Should you wish to participate, please read our Affiliate terms and conditions, as well as the Affiliate Agreement carefully before you request to join our program or begin marketing our program. These terms and conditions are written in plain language intentionally avoiding legal terminology where possible to ensure that they may be clearly understood and followed by Affiliates.

If you do not agree to these Affiliate terms and conditions or the Affiliate Agreement, please do not submit your application for our Affiliate Program. Submission of your application indicates your acceptance of all of our terms and conditions, as well as acceptance of the Affiliate Agreement. We reserve the right to change, update or modify these terms and conditions and the Affiliate Agreement at any time.

This does not include using "out" redirects from the same domain where the Affiliate link is placed.

For example, you will comply with the European Union's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive if you are conducting business in or taking orders from persons in one or more of the European Union countries.
Reversal and Communication Policy
Ajne 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. Violations of our communications policy include: (1) You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be misrepresenting any information. (2) You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after attempts to contact you per the 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 were to apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to zero percent (0%), suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question or terminate you from the Affiliate Program. 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.
FTC Disclosure Requirements
You shall include a disclosure statement within any and all pages/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 endorsement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that you receive compensation for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or from the Affiliate management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure. You are responsible to know and follow all FTC requirements.
