Terms of Use and Privacy Statement

1. Free Sunshields Affiliate Agreement 
This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the Free Sunshields Affiliate program. In this agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement, Free Sunshields refers to the product owner. 

The Free Sunshields Affiliate program is administered in part through a 3rd party Affiliate management application called Affiliatly (href

2. Modification

We may modify any of the terms and conditions within this Agreement at any time and at our sole discretion. All modifications will be posted here, and it is your responsibility to keep abreast of these terms. These modifications may include, but are not limited to changes in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Affiliate Program rules. If any of the modifications are UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement. If you CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, it will be considered as your acceptance of the change. 

3. Enrollment

To enroll in the Affiliate program, you must submit an Affiliate application and be approved by us. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status as soon as possible after their information is reviewed.

4. Affiliate URL

You will be issued a special URL once you become an approved member of the Affiliate Program which will be unique to you and you only, and will allow you to be paid for Affiliate referrals. 

5. Commissions

Affiliates will receive 15% of the Net Proceeds as a commission from orders placed through properly coded Affiliate links (unless noted otherwise for a particular product). “Net Proceeds” will mean the gross proceeds received by Free Sunshields from Qualifying Purchases on freesunshields.com, less costs and expenses attributable to taxes, shipping and handling, fraud, bad debts, and duties. Commissions may change at the discretion of the product owner, Free Sunshields. Commissions may increase during limited time special promotions, but they will return thereafter to the regular 15% commission rate.

For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit full payment for the product ordered through the secure order system. Word of mouth referrals will not result in an Affiliate commission being generated. Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified, correctly structured Affiliate links. Properly coded links are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate.

Free Sunshields shall track users who access freesunshields.com from the Affiliate's website via an Affiliate link with a cookie containing the Affiliate’s identification, and that expires thirty days following said visit. A Qualifying Purchase made prior to the expiration of the cookie will be attributed to the Affiliate link provider whose Affiliate identification is recorded in the cookie associated with that website user. 

You are only eligible to earn a Referral Fee on sales occurring during the term of this agreement, and commissions earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the product orders are not cancelled.

No commission will be paid for product purchases made by you, your household, or anyone within your organization.

6. Payment

Free Sunshields pays Affiliates via a PayPal account provided to us by the Affiliate when the Affiliate joins. If the PayPal email changes, it is the responsibility of the Affiliate to update their payment information at href to ensure proper commission payments.

No payment will be made to Affiliate for sales that result in refunds or returns and, at its own discretion, Free Sunshields may elect to withhold payment for a reasonable time to ensure against cancellations or refunds.

Payments shall be made in US Dollars to the PayPal account as nominated by the Affiliate in the name of the party and address provided by Affiliate. Affiliate shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the receipt of any payments. In addition, all PayPal transaction fees related to these payments are the responsibility of the Affiliate.

7. Tax Forms and Address Changes

It is your responsibility to provide Free Sunshields with the tax and payment information required to issue a Commission Fee to you. Each Affiliate is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form before Free Sunshields will issue any Commission Fees. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions you earn under this Agreement. In compliance with tax laws, Free Sunshields will issue a Form 1099 to Affiliates whose earnings meet or exceed the applicable amount warranting the Form 1099. You will be required to provide us with proper address, tax forms (including W8/W9 or other tax forms) or information within two (2) days of any request issued by Free Sunshields to issue a Form 1099. Any address changes must be made in the Affiliate profile in the Affiliate Console at least 15 business days prior to the end of the calendar month in order for Commissions for that month to be sent to the revised address.

8. Minimum Payment Threshold

Affiliates must earn a minimum Affiliate account balance of $25 or more before their account is eligible for payment. Commission amounts earned for less than $25 (for example, 1 sale for $20) will remain pending until the full $25 minimum balance has been earned. All sales still pending due to the minimum payment threshold must remain active and in good standing on our website, freesunshields.com. Sales that are found not to be valid at the time of the additional sale and earnings will be marked as invalid and not payable.
