- This policy shall be implemented from April 01, 2019.
+ THE FOLLOWING AGREEMENT IS SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS:You place our merchants banners anywhere on your site as you see fit, or within non-spam emails. We may email you concerning new merchant programs. The service and its related policies are subject to change without prior notification. Adult, hate, or other related sites are not allowed. The commission generated each month will be deposited into your account on the 15th of the following month. You will be paid your commissions at such time as your account balance is USD 50 or more. All statistics are collected and calculated by AKOCO, and will be the only valid stats used for determining commissions. As an affiliate, you can only have 1 account. You can list multiple domains in one account, but only one account is allowed. Self-referrals for affiliate or merchant accounts are strictly prohibited.
International affiliates (those with addresses outside of Korea) are paid via PayPal. Your physical address listed for receiving checks MUST be your actual address. Mail forwarding services, for the purpose of avoiding network demographics, is NOT allowed. For example, if you choose USA as your country, you must be in the USA. If you choose Russia as a country, you must be in Russia.
You won't hold us liable for anything, a link to a non-AKOCO website does not mean that AKOCO endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content or the use of such website. You cannot spam. We will terminate your account on the first offense of spamming. Do not send email to lists or groups that you do not have permission to send to. We cannot stress this enough, we will terminate your account on the first offense. You may place banners or links within your newsletters, in content of your website, or within other web related content.
Affiliate accounts that are left inactive will be removed from our system if their balance is equal to or less than $25. If an abandoned affiliate account has a balance between $25 and $50, a $25 fee will be assessed once per calendar month, until the balance is equal to zero dollars - and is closed. At no time will an affiliate ever owe money to AKOCO, based on fees - the account will simply be closed. An abandoned affiliate account is defined as any account that has not been logged into for a period of 6 months, nor have any transactions been posted to that account. If one or the other of those conditions are true - the account will remain in an active state.
NOT ALLOWED: All other uses of banners or links, such as newsgroups, chat rooms, ICQ, message boards, banner networks,
hit farms, counters, or guestbooks etc. are NOT allowed.
NOT ALLOWED: Any placement of creative in a "Desktop" advertising scheme. This includes any and all 3rd party
advertising platforms that use a desktop application to display ads in any form.
NOT ALLOWED: Any display of a merchant window that isn't the result of a direct click by the end-user.
Failure to abide by these rules could mean termination from a given merchant program, or from AKOCO completely
with a complete forfeit of commissions. Fraud is a serious offense, and will be treated as such. Fraud is defined as any action that intentionally attempts to create sales using robots, frames, iframes, scripts, or manually "refreshing" of pages, for the sole purpose of creating commissions.
ANY ATTEMPTED FRAUD OR FRAUD WILL RESULT IN MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION AND VOIDED COMMISSIONS.
You are allowed to participate in any pay-per-sale programs without any special permission. You must also be participating as a top-level domain name, i.e., no generic free website services allowed. You cannot refer yourself as a Merchant with AKOCO and receive commission.
