Please read this entire affiliate agreement so you know and understand the terms and conditions of this program:
- Instant Readings Affiliate Agreement – This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the Instant Readings Affiliate Program. In this agreement, the term “Affiliate” refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement, Instant Readings refers to the product owner and publisher, (Instant Readings).
- Modification – We may modify any of the terms and conditions within this Agreement at any time and at our sole discretion. These modifications may include, but 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.
- Affiliate Commission – Affiliates will receive commissions for specific products from orders placed through properly spelled coupon codes. Commissions may change at the discretion of the product publisher, Instant Readings. Other coupon codes cannot be used in conjunction with the affiliate program – there are no double discounts and you will not receive commission if a different coupon code is used to purchase the product.
- For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, a customer must complete the order form, enter the correct spelling of the coupon code 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 spelled Affiliate coupon codes. Properly placed and spelled coupon codes are the sole responsibility of the affiliate.
- You get up to 25% of the sales revenue for each sale you make through your unique coupon code
- You can have up to 3 affiliate coupon codes, as follows:
A) 0% off for your audience, and you get 25% of the commission
B) 10% off for your audience, and you get 15% of the commission
C) 20% off for your audience, and you get 5% of the commission - The above rates will allow you to promote it to different levels of your audience to incentivise them to use your code.

- Any commission earned below $100 USD will be rolled over to the next monthly payment until it reaches $100 USD or more. If $200 USD total is not achieved within 1 year, your affiliate account will be terminated.
- If after 3 consecutive months there are no affiliate sales through your account, we have the right to terminate your affiliate account and void any outstanding balance on your affiliate commissions that are less than $100 USD.
