Affiliate Disclosure & User Program Terms
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. This document constitutes a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and SweepValet ("SweepValet," "we," "us," "our"). By accessing or using the SweepValet website, applications, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by these Affiliate Disclosure & User Program Terms.
1. Definitions
"Platform-Generated Link": An affiliate link generated directly by the SweepValet Service, including through its AI algorithms or on general search and discovery pages.
"User-Generated Referral Link": An affiliate link created by an eligible User through our Referral Program for the purpose of sharing with third parties.
"Participant": A User who generates one or more User-Generated Referral Links.
"Qualifying Purchase": A purchase made by a third party that meets the criteria for earning a commission as defined by the respective retailer's affiliate program (e.g., the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program).
2. Affiliate Relationships & Commission Structure
You acknowledge that SweepValet engages in affiliate marketing and allows its Users to do the same. This means commissions may be earned on Qualifying Purchases made through links on the Service at no extra cost to the purchaser.
Commissions to SweepValet: SweepValet is the sole and exclusive recipient of any and all commissions earned from Qualifying Purchases made through Platform-Generated Links.
Commissions to Users: A Participant is the sole and exclusive recipient of one hundred percent (100%) of the commission earned from a Qualifying Purchase made directly through a User-Generated Referral Link created by that Participant. SweepValet takes no portion of these user-to-user referral commissions.
3. User Referral Program: Participant Obligations
By acting as a Participant, you agree to these legally binding obligations:
Independent Contractor Status: You act as an independent contractor. Nothing in these terms shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and SweepValet. You are solely responsible for any and all taxes on your earnings.
Absolute Compliance with Law: You represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Endorsement Guides.
Mandatory Disclosure Requirement: You must clearly and conspicuously disclose the material connection between you and the retailer. This disclosure must be placed proximately to any User-Generated Referral Link you share.
Acceptable Disclosures: Use plain language like, "I earn commissions from qualifying purchases," or "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." On social media, hashtags like #ad or #sponsored at the beginning of a post are also acceptable.
Prohibited Conduct: Hiding disclosures, using ambiguous language (e.g., "#collab"), or placing disclosures where they are not easily seen is a violation of these terms and may be unlawful.
Content Responsibility: You are solely responsible for all content you create and share in connection with the User Referral Program.
