Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
This is a contract between you (the “Affiliate”) and us (“DFY Videos”).
It describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the languages are necessary “legalese” but we have tried to make it as readable as possible.
The DFY Videos Affiliate Program Agreement applies to your participation in DFY Videos Affiliate Program (the “Affiliate Program”). These terms are so important that we cannot have you participate in our Affiliate Program unless you agree to them.
DFY Videos reserves the right to update these terms periodically. DFY Videos also reserves the right to replace these terms in their entirety if, for example, the Affiliate Program changes, ends, or becomes part of an existing or new program, including our partner programs.
If DFY Videos updates or replaces the terms of this Agreement, we will let the Affiliate know via electronic means, which may include an in-app or in-account notification or by email.
If the Affiliate does not agree to the update or replacement, you can choose to terminate as we describe below.
