- All new accounts are subject to a 7-day approval period.
- Each new sale must remain in good standing. Commissions will not be credited for sales that have
been canceled, terminated, charged back, refunded, or have outstanding balances.
- All sales must originate from the affiliates unique tracking URL. The tracking URL we provide must
not be altered. It is unique to each affiliate and any changes could result in inaccurate statistics

your unique tracking URL attached to it.
- Affiliate generated sales that do not meet these requirements, will not be eligible for commission
credit.
It is to our sole discretion as to whether or not an affiliate sale is legitimate or not. Upandupspace

low renewals. We reserve the right to chargeback or deny commissions for faster or higher than normal
cancellation rates. We also reserve the right to adjust commission rates below our base rate for
performance reasons.

7. FTC BLOGGING GUIDELINES
We strongly advise affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on
testimonials and endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on UPANDUPSPACE’s products and
services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs
and other Social Media channels) and UPANDUPSPACE must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the
affiliate sites. FTC points out that when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller
of the advertised product it is imperative that such connection is fully disclosed. FTC deems the
relationship in an endorser-sponsor light, and believes that the end user has the right to understand
that one exists [http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005endorsementguidesfnnotice.pdf]. We share the
undergirding idea of this approach, and strongly encourage our affiliates to adhere to the FTC’s rules.
We also reserve the right to terminate relationship with any non-compliant affiliates.
