1. Enrollment and Eligibility

To begin enrollment, you must submit an accurate Affiliates Program application. Your Site(s) must contain original content and be publicly available via the website address provided in the application. You must identify your Site(s) in your application. We will evaluate your application and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. Your Site will not be eligible for inclusion in the Affiliates Program, and you cannot include any Unique Links or Product Advertising Content on it if your Site is unsuitable. Unsuitable Sites include those that:

(a) Promote or contain sexually explicit or obscene materials,

(b) Promote violence or contain violent materials or promote, endorse, or incite potentially dangerous or harmful acts,

(c) Promote or contain false, deceptive, libelous, or defamatory materials,

(d) Promote or contain materials or activity that is hateful, harassing, harmful, invasive of another’s privacy, abusive, or discriminatory (including based on race, color, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age),

(e) Promote or undertake illegal activities, 

(f) Are directed toward children or knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age or another applicable age threshold (as defined by applicable laws and regulations); or violate any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, guidelines, codes of practice, industry standards, self-regulatory rules, judgments, decisions, or other requirements of any applicable governmental authority related to child protection or any regulations promulgated thereunder or the Children’s Online Protection Act);

(g) Include any trademark of Kalox or its affiliates, or a variant or misspelling of a trademark of Kalox or its affiliates in any domain name, subdomain name, in any “tag” or Affiliates ID, or any username, group name, or another identifier on any social networking site (see a non-exhaustive list of our trademarks listed on our Non-Exhaustive Trademark Table); or 

(h) Otherwise, violate any intellectual property rights. 

We will determine suitability at our sole discretion. If we reject your application due to unsuitable content, you may reapply once you have complied with our suitability requirements. However, if at any time we 1) reject your application for any other reason or 2) Terminate your account in connection with any violation or abuse (as determined in our sole discretion), you cannot attempt to rejoin the Affiliates Program without our advance authorization.

You will ensure that the information in your Affiliates Program application and information otherwise associated with your account on the Affiliates Site, including your email address, other contact information, and identification of your Site, is always complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Affiliates Program and the Agreement to the email address currently associated with your Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.

The Affiliates Program is free to join, and we provide resources on the Affiliates Site to help Affiliates succeed with the program. We have never authorized any business to provide paid set-up or consulting services to our affiliates, so please be wary if any business like that (even one attempting to appropriate the Kalox name) reaches out to offer you costly services. 

2. 2. Links on Your Site

(a) Unique Links

After you have applied to the Affiliates Program, you are permitted to display Unique Links on your Site. Unique Links enable accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of commission income. Unique Links must use the Affiliates ID we have assigned to you.

(b) General Requirements Applicable to All Unique Links 

Unique Links may be created or made available to you by us. If we inform you that your Site does not qualify to use certain types of links, you must cease displaying those types of links on your Site. You are solely responsible for the content, style, and placement of each link that you place on your Site and for ensuring that Unique Links (whether created by you or made available to you by us) include the appropriate formatting necessary for us to track referrals of our customers from your Site correctly. It would be best to refrain from encouraging customers to bookmark your Unique Links. All Unique Links must be accessed directly from your Site. For example, you must include your affiliate ID or “tag” as a parameter in the URL of each link you place on your Site to the Kalox Website.

Upon your request, but subject to our approval, we may issue you additional “sub-tag” Affiliate IDs that permit you to monitor and optimize the performance of your Unique Links by including different sub-tags in the URLs of different Unique Links. Under no circumstances may you affiliate any sub-tag with a specific end user of your Site (e.g., you may not dynamically assign sub-tags to users as they arrive on your Site to monitor such users’ behavior).

You may add or delete Products (and related Unique Links) from your Site without our approval. Unique Links must link to Products (defined in the Products Statement). When linking to pages with Product lists, you must have additional original content on your Site relevant to the Unique Link.  Product lists include search results, events, or a department homepage.

You must remove any links and related references to limited-time promotions from your Site as soon as that promotion on the relevant Kalox Site ends. For example, suppose you include links to Products in the apparel category of the Kalox Site and mention that there are 25% off select products in Kalox’s apparel category. In that case, you must remove the mention of the 25% discount from your Site as soon as the promotion ends.

You must not make inaccurate, overbroad, deceptive, or otherwise misleading claims about any Product, Kalox Site, or our policies, promotions, or prices. For example, if you include on your Site a link to a 500 GB computer sold on the Kalox Site, you may not state that you are linking to a computer that has 500 GB of storage.

Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because prices for and availability of Products you have listed on your Site may change, your Site may only show prices and availability if: we serve the link in which that price and availability data are displayed.

In addition, if you choose to display prices for any Product on your Site in any “comparison” format (including through the use of any price-comparison tool or engine) together with prices for the same or similar products offered through any website or other means other than the Kalox Site, you must display both the lowest “new” price and, if we provide it to you, the lowest “used” price at which the Product is available on the Kalox Store Site.

You must not post any Unique Links on Kalox or link to any page on your Site from Kalox specifically to promote your Unique Links.

(c) Requirements Applicable to Specific Link Types We Make Available to You

Certain types of links that we may make available to you dynamically generate particular Products to display based on a contextual analysis of the page on which they appear. Kalox will crawl or otherwise monitor your Site and store gathered content to implement these types of links and to improve dynamic generation and the Affiliates Program. If you implement mechanisms that prevent us from crawling or otherwise monitoring your Site, you agree that these links may not function properly. You will be solely responsible for any such malfunction.

3. Responsibility for Your Site

You will be solely responsible for your Site, including its development, operation, and maintenance, and all materials that appear on or within it. For example, you will be solely responsible for the following: 

(a) The technical operation of your Site and all related equipment,  

(b) Displaying Unique Links and Program Content on your Site in compliance with the Agreement, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, guidelines, codes of practice, industry standards, self-regulatory rules, judgments, decisions, or other requirements of any applicable governmental authority, including those related to disclosures and electronic marketing, data protection, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679), and any agreement between you and any other person or entity (including any restrictions or requirements placed on you by any person or entity that hosts your Site), 

(c) Creating posting, and ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and appropriateness of materials posted on your Site (including all Product descriptions and other Product-related materials and any information you include within or associate with Special Links),  

(d) Using the Program Content, your Site, and the materials on or within your Site in a manner that does not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any of our rights or those of any other person or entity.

(e) Disclosing on your Site accurately and adequately and otherwise satisfying applicable legal requirements, either through a privacy policy or the use of cookies, pixels, and other technologies by you and third parties, and how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors by applicable laws, including, where applicable, that third parties (including other advertisers and us) may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers, and providing information on the visitor’s choices concerning opting-out from online advertising where required by applicable law, and  

(f) Any use you make of the Program Content, whether or not permitted under the Agreement.

4. 4.  Promotional Limitations

You will not engage in any promotional, marketing, or other advertising activities on behalf of us or our affiliates or in connection with Kalox Site or the Affiliates Program that is not expressly permitted under the Agreement. You will not engage in any promotional, marketing, or other advertising activities in any offline manner, including by using any of our or our affiliates’ trademarks or logos, any Program Content, or any Unique Link in connection with email, offline promotion, or in any offline manner (e.g., in any printed material, ebook, mailing, private messages on social media networks, or attachment to email, or another document, or any oral solicitation).

5. 5. Distribution of Unique Links Through Software and Devices 

You will not use any Program Content or Unique Link, or otherwise link to the Kalox Site, on or in connection with (a) any client-side software application (e.g., a browser plug-in, helper object, toolbar, extension, component, or any other application executable or installable by an end user) on any device, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, or other handheld devices (other than Approved Mobile Applications); or (b) any television set-top box (e.g., digital video recorders, cable or satellite boxes, streaming video players, Blu-ray players, or DVD players) or Internet-enabled television (e.g., GoogleTV, Sony Bravia, Panasonic Viera Cast, or Vizio Internet Apps).

6. 6. Content on your Site

You will be solely responsible for the content on your Site and ensure the following:

(a) You will not add to, delete from, or otherwise alter any Program Content in any way, including by adding additional information, except that you may resize Program Content consisting of a graphic image in a manner that maintains the original proportions of the image or truncate Program Content consisting of text in a manner that does not materially alter the meaning of the text or cause the text to become factually incorrect, or misleading. Some types of links that we may make available to you may contain a link to an informational page on the Kalox Site that is not formatted as a Unique Link (for example, links to privacy policy information at the bottom of banners); without limiting the generality of the preceding, you will not remove, obscure, or alter, or make invisible, illegible, or indecipherable to visitors of your Site, any “Privacy Information” link.

(b) You will not sell, resell, redistribute, sublicense, or transfer any Program Content or any application that uses, incorporates, or displays any Program Content or Data Feeds. For example, you will not use, enable, or facilitate the use of Program Content within advertising outside of your Site or on or within any application, platform, site, or service (including social networking sites) that requires you to sublicense or otherwise give any rights in or to any Program Content to any other person or entity, nor will you create links formatted with your Affiliates tag for, or display such links on, a site that is not your Site.

(c) You will promptly remove from your Site and delete or otherwise destroy any Program Content that is no longer displayed on Kalox Site or that we notify you is no longer available.

(d) You will not use any Program Content, including any name or likeness embodied in that Program Content, in a manner that implies a person’s or company’s endorsement or sponsorship of, or commercial tie-in or other affiliation with, any product, service, party, or cause (including by placing unrelated third-party materials near Program Content).

(e) You will not (and you will not seek to) purchase, register, or otherwise use any Kalox or variations or misspellings of any of those words (e.g., “Kalos,” “Kalux,” and “Kaloux”) for use in any Search Engine. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, upon our request, you will cause any Search Engine designated by us to exclude Proprietary Terms (defined below) from keywords used to display your advertising content in affiliation with search results (e.g., request exclusion by negative keyword bidding), assuming the Search Engine offers such exclusion capabilities.

(f) You will not bid on or purchase keywords, search terms, or other identifiers, including the word “Kalox,” or any other trademark of Kalox or its affiliates or variations or misspellings of any of these words (“Proprietary Terms” and you can see a non-exhaustive list of our trademarks in the Non-Exhaustive Trademarks Table) or otherwise participate in keyword auctions on any Search Engine if the resulting paid search advertisement is a Prohibited Paid Search.

(g) You will not offer any person or entity any consideration, reward, or incentive (including any money, rebate, discount, points, donation to a charity or other organization, or another benefit) for using Unique Links. For example, you cannot implement any “rewards” or loyalty program that incentivizes persons or entities to visit the Kalox Site via your Unique Links.

(h) You will not intercept, record, redirect, read, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other material submitted to us by any person or entity.

(i) You will not request, collect, obtain, store, cache, or otherwise use any account information used by our customers in connection with any Kalox Site (including any usernames or passwords of Kalox Site customers).

(j) You will not modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other feature of the Kalox Site.

(k) You will not make any orders or engage in other transactions on the Kalox Site on behalf of any other person or entity or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so.

(l) You will not take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion regarding our relationship with you or the site on which any functions or transactions (for example, search, browse, or order) are occurring.

(m) You will not include on your Site, display, or otherwise use Unique Links or Program Content in connection with any spyware, malware, virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other malicious or harmful code or any software application not expressly and knowingly authorized by users before being downloaded or installed on their computer or another electronic device.

(n) You will not frame Kalox Site, or any part of it, within your Site, including by display within an integrated web browser (e.g., WebView) within a Mobile Application. However, displaying a Unique Link on your Site by Section 2 of these Participation Requirements will not be a violation of this section.

(o) You will not post or serve any Unique Links or other content promoting the Kalox Site within any pop-up or pop-under windows, transitional page ads, or layer ads, except for pop-up windows in conjunction with your Site promoting Products closely affiliated with the materials on your Site.

(p) You will not include any Unique Links in any content that you place on the Kalox Site (for example, in connection with any advertising service available through the Kalox Site or in a customer review, forum, Wish List, guide, or any other customer-generated context available on Kalox Site).

(q) You will not attempt to circumvent the Commission Income Statement or artificially increase your commission income. For example, you cannot cause any page of a Kalox Site to open in a customer’s browser other than because the customer clicks on a Unique Link on your Site.

(r) You will not attempt to intercept or redirect (including via software installed on users’ computers) traffic from, on, or divert commission income from any site participating in the Affiliates Program.

(s) You will not artificially generate clicks or impressions on your Site or create Sessions on the Kalox Site through a robot or software program.

(t) You will not display or otherwise use any of Kalox’s customer reviews or star ratings, in part or in whole, on your Site unless you have obtained a link to that customer review.

(u) You will not directly or indirectly purchase any Product(s) through your Unique Links, whether for your use or the use of any other person or entity. You will not permit, request, or encourage any of your friends, relatives, employees, contractors, or business relations to directly or indirectly purchase any Product(s) through Unique Links, whether for their use, your use, or any other person or entity. Further, you will not purchase any Product(s) through Unique Links for resale or commercial use (of any kind) or offer any Products on your Site for resale or commercial use.

(v) You will not hide, spoof, or otherwise obscure the URL of your Site containing Unique Links (including by use of Redirecting Links) or the user agent of the application in which Program Content is displayed or used such that we cannot reasonably determine the site or application from which a customer clicks through such Unique Link to the Kalox Website.

(w) You will not use a link-shortening service, button, hyperlink, or other ad placement in a manner that makes it unclear that you are linking to the Kalox Site.

(x) Upon our request, you will provide us with written certification that you have complied with the Agreement (generally or specifically concerning any provision of the Agreement, including the Program Policies). Any failure to provide the certification by our request will constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

(y) Unless Kalox agrees, your Site must not have price tracking and/or price alerting functionality.

(z) You will not display on your Site or otherwise use any Program Content to advertise or promote any products offered on any site that is not Kalox Site (e.g., products offered by other retailers). You will not display on your Site or otherwise use any data, images, text, or additional information or content you may obtain from us that relates to Excluded Products.
