Participation Not Guaranteed
To apply for participation in the Affiliate Program, you must complete an application through the Company website or affiliate platform, and consent to these Terms before your application will be approved. The Company is under no obligation to accept your application and may deny your application for any reason.

How our Affiliate Program Works
To participate in the Affiliate Program, you must apply to be an Affiliate, which enables you to create an Affiliate Link. An "Affiliate Link" is defined as a web URL or hyperlink which contains (either within the link or via any redirect or link-cloaking software) the Affiliate's ID with the intention of tracking referred traffic to Company. When an Affiliate directs or sends a prospective buyer to Company’s or related website(s), or any of our other products via a correctly formatted Affiliate Link and that visitor then purchases a product from us, the Affiliate will receive a commission from Company on the sale of that product (the "Commission"). All Commissions are paid in CDN dollars.
AFFILIATE RESPONSIBILITIES

You are responsible for providing Company with your correct contact and payment information at the time that you register for the Affiliate Program and you must keep your contact information up-to-date. Your failure to provide us with correct and/or updated contact information could result in you not receiving payment and/or the suspension of your Affiliate Program account because we may be unable to contact you regarding important issues concerning the Affiliate Program and your participation in it.
