Once you are accepted into Bright Lights Affiliates Scheme, you will be able to participate in the Scheme subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You should also note that if you are accepted to participate and your links are thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable, we may terminate this Agreement.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Agreement (”Agreement”) is made between Bright Lights and you (”Affiliate” or “Affiliates”).  In consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree as follows:

1. Offers and Engagements.

1.1. Bright Lights may post on its website offers to pay to Affiliates a specified commission in return for certain advertising services leading to a Qualifying Link (defined below). If such offers receive an identification number from Bright Lights they shall be deemed to be an “Offer” for purposes of this Agreement.

1.2. If an Offer made by one party is accepted by the other party in accordance with the Offer’s terms, an “Engagement” will have been formed. Each Engagement shall have the same identification number as the original Offer that lead to the Engagement and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Engagement shall govern.

1.3. At any time prior to an Affiliate providing a Qualifying Link, Bright Lights may, with or without notice, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or an Engagement.  Affiliates agrees to promptly implement any request to remove, alter or modify any images provided by Bright Lights (including those copied from Bright Lights website), being used by Affiliate as part of an Engagement.

2. Affiliate’s Responsibilities.

2.1. Affiliates will link to areas within Bright Lights online store using special URLs specified in the Engagement (the “Required URLs”). Affiliate may post as many links to the Required URLs as it likes on Affiliate’s site, or inappropriate chat rooms and online discussion boards. The position, prominence and nature of links on the Affiliate’s site shall comply with any requirements specified in the Engagement and this Agreement, but otherwise will be in the discretion of Affiliate.

2.2. Affiliates agree not to make any representations, warranties or other statements concerning Bright Lights site, any of Bright Lights products or services, or Bright Lights site policies, except as expressly authorized by the Engagement.

2.3. Affiliates are responsible for notifying Bright Lights of any malfunctioning of the Required URLs or other problems with Affiliate’s participation in the Engagement. Bright Lights will respond within reasonable time to all concerns upon written notification by Affiliate.

3. Commissions

3.1. Bright Lights agrees to pay Affiliates the commission specified in the Engagement if Bright Lights sells to a visitor to Bright Lights online store (a “Customer”) a product or service that is the subject of the Engagement and if that Customer has accessed and purchased the product or service via a Qualifying Link.

3.2. A “Qualifying Link” is a link from Affiliate’s site, or online reference to Bright Lights in a website, email, social media channel, chat room or discussion board, or online forum, to Bright Lights using one of the Required URLs if it is the last link to Bright Lights that the Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to Customer occurs.

3.3 Once a Customer is linked to an Affiliate, the Affiliate will receive commission on subsequent purchases for the lifetime of the customer.

3.4 The Affiliate may not earn commission on sales that they make themselves.

3.5. Bright Lights shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all orders made by Customers. Affiliate acknowledges that all agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be between Bright Lights and the Customer.
